In this deeply personal episode, host Bulelani Marwanqana revisits the seasons of failure that nearly ended his education — and the faith that carried him through. From sleeping in a church tent to rewriting the same exams three times, this story isn’t just about endurance — it’s about what schools never teach: the psychology of failure, the cost of forgetfulness, and the quiet strength that comes from believing again.

Bulelani explores how emotional exhaustion, self-doubt, and spiritual disconnect can block even the brightest students — and how faith, reflection, and persistence can rewire the mind for resilience.

Whether you’re a student, teacher, or anyone fighting to rise after defeat, this episode is a reminder that the hardest lessons often come from outside the classroom walls.
