The Prompt

In this episode of The Prompt, we explore why following your passions can feel so overwhelming. From the pressure to “figure it all out,” to comparing yourself to others on campus and online, to juggling passions with classes and work — we unpack it all. Plus, I share the song that’s been keeping me grounded this week and a simple campus lifestyle tip to help you honor your passions without adding pressure.

What is The Prompt?

The Prompt is a lifestyle podcast that begins with one simple question: a journal prompt. In solo episodes, host Maleah Walker and Madeline Swann unpack the ups, downs, and lessons of college life through honest reflection. In guest episodes, she sits down with creators, students, and community builders; people shaping culture and connection in their own ways. Through journal-inspired conversations and fun segments like Keep It Real and What’s in My Ear, The Prompt blends authenticity with inspiration, helping listeners reflect on their own journeys while being entertained.
