In this final episode for the year, I am in conversation with Tau Pule, who also happens to be my son about the challenges of academic work for children who are not academically strong.
He shares his side of the story of how he perceives school in general and how his two set backs of repeating grade 1 and repeating grade 4 affected him. He goes on to share about the positive impacts of going to a school that focuses on skills such as an improved confidence and self esteem.
It is an inspirational conversation for any child and parent that is facing the challenges of academics.

Sunday Dec 03, 2023
Sunday Dec 03, 2023
Has the thought of leaving the South Africa or your country of origin ever crossed your mind. Do you fantasize about make it big or just living better outside your country? Or are you just curious of how people who leave SA and make it abroad do it?
If yes this episode is going to give you so much insight. In the episode I am in conversation with Tshepiso Madihlaba and Sibo Hlatshwayo on the dynamics of living overseas.
Bio
Tshepiso Madihlaba was born and raised in Limpopo, South Africa. She studied medicine at the University of Cape Town (UCT) and qualified as a medical doctor. In addition, she holds an Executive MBA from Quantic School of Business and Technology. Washington D.C, USA.
Tshepiso currently lives in Chicago, USA with her 2 wonderful children; and works as a Medical Director for a multinational pharmaceutical company.
Tshepiso counts writing as one of her passions, and has been in love with it since her childhood. She is working on her first novel, Maserati, an engaging read for a contemporary audience, expected to launch early 2024.
Sibo’s Bio
I'm a Zulu woman, born and bred in Ladysmith KwaZulu Natal, SA.
The love of travel and the finer things in life landed me in the UK many years ago, and since then I have been hit by the travel bug and found myself a home in London. I'm a firstborn and I have all the traits that you can think of, deputy parent, breadwinner and rich auntie…
I can also be found cooking a storm for my family and entertaining them with my travel stories… my Gogo would be proud if she had to see how much I living cooking as an adult, she used to warn me for loving books so much, and she will say, will your husband eat books? I love the outdoors and all things healthy eating and mindfulness...
My new-found hobby is walking to work, so that's 2 hours of total bliss that clears my head and allows me to indulge in stretch podcasts and coaching notes, what an awesome way to start and end my day, as a single mum, this time as become my precious me time. I'm also big on friendship and sisterhood, my tribe anchors me to be my best self and I do the same for them.
I have been a Radiographer for 23 years and have enjoyed my career both in SA and the UK, the most fulfilling part of this is seeing my patients walk away with a bit of hope and mentoring and training that Junior is also fulfilling. As I get older I'm more passionate about personal development and spiritual growth, I love referring to myself as Umntwana weThonga as I walk with those who came before me.

236.Pre/Peri/Post Menopause...?
Sunday Nov 12, 2023
Sunday Nov 12, 2023
I am pretty sure you remember your very first period, I am also sure you remember your first sign that you are pregnant... do you know why your remember and know those days. Because they are spoken about, they are part of our everday lives. We know the symptoms and signs and symbolism...
But what about the pauses, the stages we reach after 45? The Peri and Pre Menopause, the Menopause and the Post menopause, why don't we talk about those. Why are we hush hush about those. Are they not part of every woman's life?
Well, in this conversation I am in conversation with the author of The Peri Menopausal Globetrotter... on the very subject Xoli Ka Madlala. Xoli is a 45 year old post menopausal woman who is a passionate advocate of all things menopause.
In this part 1 of our conversation we cover the back story of her writing the book what it took and the experience she had diving and delving into this important subject.

235. Healing The Mother Wound
Sunday Nov 05, 2023
Sunday Nov 05, 2023
There is an inside joke in psychology and the life coaching field that goes:
If it’s not one thing it’s the mother…
Which basically talks to the fact that almost all our issues big or small can somehow be traced back to our childhood and to the mother. Sounds unfair I know but it’s true not because mothers ‘damage’ their children, but rather because the mother is such a pivotal force in a child’s life. She is after all the life giver…
In this episode I am in conversation with Moshitadi Lehlomela, author of the famous ‘The girl who survived her mother’ on Healing The Mother wound.
In the conversation we cover amongst others:
What the mother wound is and how it finds expression, generational patterns of mother wounding, mother wound in relationships, mother wound and money. We also cover Moshitadi’s relationship with her mother and much more.

Moshitadi is a mother wound recovery coach, author of The girl who survived her mother and Radical Acceptance for childhood adversities.
