In this episode, I open up about my personal journey with anxiety and the emotional waves that often come with it. Here, I share the tools and practices that have helped me not only manage anxiety but also navigate a wide range of emotions with more clarity and compassion. But this isn’t just about learning how to live through difficult emotions—it’s about strength, growth, and learning to build a safe, nurturing relationship with your inner self. 

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply curious about emotional wellness, this episode is a gentle reminder that emotions are powerful, but they don’t have to overpower you. With the right tools, you can learn to soothe your inner world, rather than silence it or let it take the wheel.

This episode is for anyone seeking to create a safe emotional home within themselves—one they don’t have to be afraid to return to.

What if finding the balance’ in life isn’t about finally tipping the scales even? What if it’s not even about finally figuring out how to show up at 100% for all the roles you occupy in your life. On this episode I share my own journey of discovering how prioritising work above all else, didn’t quite turn out the way I had thought or hoped and how this taught me the importance of prioritising what really matters... 

Of course, there’s no one size fits all when it comes to this, and we’ve all heard enough about 'finding the balance' to know that it’s not about 50/50; all that matters is figuring out what really feeds you and what allows you to be at your best so you can start sowing where your soul reaps the most.

Thanks for tuning in.

Dear Extraordinary Tribe

Welcome to the very first edition of our monthly newsletter for An Extraordinary Take! Each month, I get to choose one episode that had the biggest impact on me and put on my writing hat so I can share my deepest reflections and some behind the scenes insights on the topic in a letter to you. This concept feels like such a lofty task considering how deeply meaningful each episode was for me but seeing that the first installment of this letter is in May, it only feels fitting that I pick the episode that had a profound impact on not just me, but many of you who are navigating their own challenging and unique relationships with your mothers. Today I share with you my very raw, vulnerable and mixed feelings about Mother’s Day. This letter was particularly difficult for me write for but I have no doubt that it healed some parts of me and that it may do the same for you, should you be willing. 

This inaugural letter is available to everyone, but future editions will be exclusive to our subscribers only, so make sure you subscribe so you don’t miss the next one, it’s completely free. 

If you would like to read the letter visit our substack page: https://substack.com/@anextraordinarytake/note/c-116288292?utm_source=notes-share-action&r=p3q9o

I hope you enjoy this deeper look into the episode and find the additional insights both engaging and enlightening.

Thank you for being part of this extraordinary journey, please share it with others who may be impacted by it too. 

On today’s episode we are joined by Former Football player Jesse Donn, as he takes us through his own process of redefining himself and navigating life after a career move he never saw coming. Together, we unpack the often unhealthy relationship we can have with our work when we can’t separate ourselves from what we do vs who we are. Jesse, who has now transitioned to a Fitness Trainer, also takes us through the importance of women understanding how their monthly cycles affect how and when they should train.

Thanks for listening, please do take time to leave a review at the end. 

In this powerful episode of An Extraordinary Take, we dive into the complexities of the mother-daughter relationship with author, educator, and TEDx speaker Sebabatso Thulo. A passionate advocate for women’s healing, Sebabatso has dedicated her life to helping women mend the often complex relationships they have with themselves and each other.  

Sebabatso shares her deeply personal journey of discovering her own mother-wound and the courageous steps she took to heal her relationship with her mother. The conversation uncovers the barriers that often inhibit mothers and daughters from forming deep, authentic connections, while also exploring how these unresolved wounds manifest in children—insights she has gained from her experience as a high school teacher.  

As the founder and host of Healed and Loved, a women’s networking group aimed at inspiring and uplifting women, Sebabatso brings wisdom, empathy, and a roadmap for those navigating their own healing—whether together or on their own.  

This episode is a must-listen for mothers and daughters who are on their own journey of healing past wounds, and understanding the profound impact that their connection to each other has on who they become. 

Don't forget to share, and give us a review at the end of each episode. Enjoy!

On this episode I am joined by Barbara Moagi who’s a 24-year-old Radio Personality, Multimedia Content Creator, Entrepreneur, and the voice behind the empowering podcast "Boldly Becoming." When I knew I wanted to start this podcast Barbara was one the very first few people I felt safe enough to tell and it felt fitting to have her not just as my first guest, but to have her be the person that introduces me to the listeners of this podcast. Together we go on a beautiful trip down memory lane looking at my activism work that started at the age of 15 as inspired by my grandmother who was and is still a trailblazer in our community of umhlabuyalingana.

By sharing my own journey, I hope you get better insight into who I am and my intention for this platform.

Enjoy and please leave a review at the end of the episode to help us grow our rating scores.

Hi there!

Vulnerability moment here, one of the main things that led to me taking so long to release this podcast was how many podcasts I would see being launched almost on a daily! I felt as though people were getting podcast fatigue and I completely understood why. But here's the thing, while they may be annoying (some…haha) podcasts are an important mirror into our society. By being exposed to the many different ways that other people see life, we get to expand our worlds and our views about it and the more we do so, the more we may discover that we have so much more to learn...

My hope is that that discovery leads us to walk this earth with more kindness and humility. 

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk:)
