"Friendship isn't a big thing, it's a million little things." Paulo Coelho. In this podcast episode, we chat about our friendship and what friendships mean to us. We know that the basis of a good friendship is loyalty, respect, trust and being present but what does it REALLY mean to be a good friend? We discuss the concept of "BFF" and whether it's necessary to categorize friendships. And what happens when you lose a friend? Do you try to "fix things" or just let it go?

A Deep Dive into Generational Trauma
In this episode, we converse with Tabitha Mpamira about generational trauma and finding the courage to interrupt the cycle of silence, abuse and toxicity passed down from generation to generation. Our conversation is based on her powerful TedX talk "Trauma not transformed is Trauma Transferred". Tabitha is a mental health therapist, activist, motivational speaker, and consultant on sexual and gender-based violence.
Boundaries: Take control of your life!
Do you find that people take advantage of you? Are you constantly "saving" people or fixing their problems? How do you separate your feelings from another's feelings? Most of us find it difficult to set healthy boundaries consistently yet boundaries are critical to healthy relationships. In this episode, we discuss what healthy boundaries are and why they are important. Respecting and accepting boundaries are a sign of emotional health and self-respect. They should be honoured and celebrated!
Looking back
What is the most difficult realization you made when you became an adult and more aware of the world that changed how you viewed life? How did you deal with that realization? How did it change you? In this episode we delve into those things that no one told you about or if they did, you didn't get it until you experienced it. And how those experiences change you and your relationships. We also take a look at this past year, the best and the worst bits, and what we are looking forward to in 2021.
How are you doing, really?
With all the stuff going on around us, it can feel like it's just too much. In this episode, we check in with each other and with our listeners and ask the question, "how are you doing, really"? As women, it's our nature to get into survival mode during periods of crisis and to focus on the wellbeing of others. We unintentionally neglect ourselves until it's almost too late. Take a moment and ask yourself how you are doing. Pay attention to your emotions and get help if you need it...for your sake.
You are not your diagnosis!
In this episode, we get personal and share our experiences of living with autoimmune conditions. It's not been an easy journey to say the least. We share the lessons learnt and wisdom gained along the way. Autoimmune conditions may be lifelong experiences but they are not life sentences. They do not define who you are! Understanding your condition and how it affects you will help you know how to advocate for yourself. By changing your mindset and lifestyle habits, you can live a long, healthy life.
