Welcome to February a month of LOVE. In this episode I sit down with Tumelo and we unpack the spiritual purpose of relationships. As we celebrate love this month, we follow a theme Love is the only way to tackle conversations that we usually shy away from as young adults and topics we exclude ourselves from. I truly believe,one of the  purpose that God has placed us in this wolrd is to serve one another through relationships with him, nature and with other human being. As we journey through this month, I hope we engage, show each other love as God love us.

This is a solo episode where Grace get to recap on the month, share plans for the upcoming month, share lessons learned from each topic discussed in previous episodes and lessons learned from the Authentically SwitchedOn_Book club Book selection for the month. In January, the book selected was the Power of now by Eckart Tolle. Hope you enjoy this episode and put into practice the lessons shared/learned.

Reading is to mind what exercise is to the body. You have most likely heard of the saying ''Leaders are readers'' or that '' knowledge is Power''. These statements should never be overlooked as there is power that resides in them. Reading is so fun, the thought of yourself gaining new & unknown knowledge is always fun. Though reading is fundamental, a lot of young adults have given it a backseat and the social media the staring wheal of their journey.  Even the good news book (bible) states that ''my people perish because of lack of knowledge''. 

In this episode where i'm joined by one of the best avid readers, Onkarabile Tiro, we tackle all things reading and why is imprtant for the young adults of our generations. So if you find yourself lacking in any area of your life, whether spiritually, financially, relationships wise, health or your purpose in life, pick up a great book and start learning, invest in your great mind and make Reading Fun to Mental.

Authentic Reflections are dynamic and recurring process of considering one’s relationship with past experiences in order to develop strategies for approaching future experiences. It also entails using experiences as means of reflections on growth and for developing a personal narrative to your story.

In this day and age, we are constantly responding negatively towards our environment, situations, our society, life and ourselves generally. We find ourselves inheriting a gene which genetically make us see the world as a darker place. This gene can also be born if someone has been nurtured in a negative and dysfunctional environment and to also have the mentality that the world owes you everything. This negative approach to life has let to anxieties, stress, depression, bad attitude, self-doubt and feeling inadequate. We end up feeling like we don’t belong, we complain all the time, we always think we are not good enough, and the way to respond to anything is by being negative and say hurtful things towards situations and our loved ones.

Making things positive doesn’t mean a sunny outlook. It means making the choice to see problems as opportunities. Every problem and difficult situation is embedded with a solution, - the adventure lies in finding the solution.

On today’s topic we discuss “Positive approach towards life” and ill be joined by someone who is living by these values, Tebogo Lesoro.
