Dr. Dorcas Matowe welcomes Shas Matowe, founder of Powerfull Inc., for an intimate conversation on the far-reaching impact of cancer. 

In this debut episode, host Dorcas Matowe opens up about the importance of knowing your birth story. Joined by her mother, Margaret Matowe, they share intimate details of Dorcas' birth—revelations that only came to light a year ago. Together, they reflect on how these discoveries have shaped Dorcas' understanding of herself and her journey.

Do you know your story? What are you fighting for in life?

If you have a family story filled with joy or pain, reach out to us at [email protected]. We’d love to hear from you.

Welcome to the Joy Meets Pain podcast. I'm your host, Doctor Dorcas Matowe, a family therapist who has worked with children, couples, individuals, and families for decades.

I cannot tell you how many times I've heard people say my family is the worst, or I'm too embarrassed to talk about my family, or no family is like mine.

Well guess what, listeners? All families have 'ishness'. foolishness, happiness, shadiness, loneliness, forgiveness, hopefulness, goodness and the list goes on.

If you come from a family and are trying to navigate your family relationships, then welcome. I look forward to meeting you on October 16.
