Welcome to the Spiral Aloe Lifestyle Podcast, a space for conversations on holistic health, thriving, and living an integrated life.
In this special episode - hosted by Nthabiseng Shongwe (Spiral Aloe) - we are joined by Regorapetse “Rego” Serote, founder of She Speaks SA, and founder of Spiral Aloe Health & Wellness, Dr. Mothomang Diaho. Together, we explore what it means to live beyond a diagnosis and how to approach health as a whole person.
Regorapetse shares her powerful journey of navigating stage 3 and stage 4 breast cancer, pregnancy during chemotherapy, and how faith, family, and daily rituals became anchors for resilience. Dr. Diaho deepens the conversation with insights from public health and lifestyle medicine, reminding us that healing means caring for the mind, body, spirit, relationships, and community - not just treating symptoms.
We discuss:
🍏 Knowing your body & acting early
🍏 Holistic healing - what it really means (conventional + complementary, not either/or)
🍏 Self-advocacy and finding your voice in the clinic room
🍏 Guarding your mindspace and navigating stigma
🍏 Trauma literacy, workplace rights, and awareness that leads to action
🍏 Standing at the gates of hope - why hope and wholeness matter in every step of the journey
This is more than a conversation about cancer - it’s about resilience, dignity, and choosing life every day.
We invite you to listen, reflect, and share this episode with someone who may need encouragement or clarity on their own journey or as they walk the journey with others.
