  • It costs Everything: Guest Peggie Shangwa
    Henry David Thoreau said-The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it. How true is that?
    In this episode Umind?! looks at the many places in her life where she has needed take a step back and evaluate. A kind of audit of life based on experience lived so far. They say everything that’s good comes at a price but others insist that nothing in life is free. Is this true and are we able to take stock of how far we have come in our own lives and gauge if we have counted the cost and paid the price?

  • Tea Alone Sometimes: Guest Peggie Shangwa
    Umind?! goes solo on Sit With U for the first time and shares some of her poetry in this episode as well as opening up, taking us a step closer into her life. From the decisions she has made in her life in the areas of dating, singleness, travel and work. I guess a new year is always refreshing and proffers a new slate that is the blank canvas we all need to start afresh. Tea Alone sometimes is anecdotal, reflective, revealing and chewy in that it reveals the processing we all go through as we take the helm of the New year, the expectations we have juxtaposed against the reality of what actually happens. It’s true that some things are caught and not taught and no one can run effectively when they are lugging Suitcases. It’s from this that she shares some of the experiences and nuggets that she is carrying into 2023 assisted mostly by the lessons 2022 taught her and what she was able to apply in her life with some epic fails and wins. You will enjoy this.
