Welcome to The Enriched Mindset Podcast, hosted by Lauren De Domenico and Nikta Pruden. In this episode, we’re joined by two powerhouse student leaders, Laila Capista and Claire Kurniawan, co-presidents of the York University Psychology Society. Together, we explore what it means to lead with purpose, build community, and grow through the challenges of student life.

Laila and Claire share their unique journeys into leadership and reflect on the lessons they’ve learned while balancing academics, mental wellness, and the demands of running one of York’s most active academic societies. From planning campus-wide events to offering support for psychology students, they open up about the highs, the hurdles, and the moments that made it all worthwhile.

This conversation goes beyond titles and responsibilities—it’s about mindset. We talk about what psychology means to them both as a field of study and as a personal lens for understanding people, connection, and growth. Whether you’re a current student, an aspiring leader, or simply someone passionate about psychology, this episode offers insight, motivation, and a sense of community.
