[Ep 25] Lifelong Habits Start in College, Can Campus Culture Change? | Rebecca Sanchez

from Age Defiantly with Mark Young · host Mark Young

College is where most of us make our first real adult decisions—and where a lot of lifelong habits begin. Rebecca Sanchez, Executive Director of the Lifelong Wellbeing Foundation, joins Mark to share how an “on-campus voice for longevity” is helping students build health, resilience, and purpose across the eight dimensions of well-being—before burnout, debt, or poor habits hardwire. From redefining campus culture (beyond the Hollywood party script) to peer-led clubs, real habit building, and early intervention, Rebecca unpacks why community and practical tools matter. She also shares the serendipitous origin story of the Foundation—from a chance conversation in Helsinki to a funded plan—and exactly how students, alumni, and supporters can get involved.
