Coffee Break With Aunty

In today's reflective episode, Aunty Mpho takes a moment to honour Freedom Day — a historic day that changed South Africa forever on 27 April 1994. We explore the brief history behind the day and how its meaning has evolved over time.

Mpho shares her personal take on what true freedom looks like today — from living authentically, to financial independence, to having control over her own time. She also opens up about the challenges she’s been facing lately, how life has turned upside down, and the difficulty of staying consistent through it all.

With honesty and vulnerability, she apologises for not having a book review this month, explaining the importance of giving herself grace during busy and overwhelming seasons.

Tune in for a heartfelt conversation that invites you to pause and reflect: What does true freedom mean to you?

Ever struggled with feeling like you’re not good enough or don’t deserve your success? That’s imposter syndrome, and in this episode, I’m sharing my personal experience with it—especially since stepping into full-time entrepreneurship—and five powerful ways to overcome it.

I’m also checking in on our 2025 reading goals. I planned to read 12 books this year but haven’t finished one yet—so if you’re behind too, let’s catch up together! Join the Coffee Break Book Club here: https://forms.gle/WcRVLL33SqPvBa8b6

I’ll be reviewing a book on the last Sunday of each month, and we’ll have in-person book club events.

Let’s shake off self-doubt, take up space, and get back on track with our goals. Tune in and let’s grow together!

In this deeply personal episode, I open up about the realities of battling anxiety and depression while pursuing big dreams. Chasing your goals is often painted as a journey full of motivation and drive, but the truth is, it can get heavy—especially when mental health struggles creep in.

I share my own experiences of feeling exhausted, unmotivated, and overwhelmed, while reflecting on the importance of prioritizing mental well-being. Whether you’re navigating a challenging season or just need a reminder that you’re not alone, this episode offers honesty, hope, and practical ways to keep moving forward.

Tune in as we explore:

- The impact of anxiety and depression on ambition and creativity

- Why rest and healing are crucial, not a luxury

- 5 ways to keep showing up for yourself while chasing your dreams

If you’ve ever felt like you’re running on empty while trying to reach your goals, this one’s for you. Let’s walk this journey together.
