The Airpod with Tshepi

When we think of our lobola day we imagine it as one of the best days in our relationships, What happens when your future husband and his family don't arrive to complete what they have started? WHAT WOULD YOU DO? Without a doubt this story has been one that has shocked the country and had social media in a tug of war. I dislike the manner in which social media has taken the story of Thuso, In this episode she shares her trauma and relays the events of what was meant to be the happiest day of her life. I approached this with extreme caution and less judgment, if something like this were to ever happen to me, I'm not sure how I would react and for this reason I respect her and the stance she took on that day and in the future for that matter. Open your mind and take a listen. 

From my heart to your ears... ENJOY :) 

This has now become an age old question,  Does using a contraceptive affect my body? does it affect my fertility?  does it make me gain weight? Will this method make me lose my libido? what kind of contraceptive would be best for me?  

These are all the questions we ask ourselves when we decide to explore the family planning route and we often don't get the right answers that we are looking for. In this episode Dr. Rendani a Gyane and Obstetrician shares what we should know about getting on contraceptives and all those that are available in the market. 

I hope this helps you in deciding on this important part of your life :) 

ENJOY! 

We throw the word consent out in social set up's but are WE educated about this word? Do we understand the power that we are giving away. Do we understand the responsibility we have when someone has given us their consent? 

In this Episode I speak to Monica Moagi an intervention specialist from the Tears Foundation, she breaks down what consent is. Have we misunderstood this word for years? why were we not spoken to about consent at home? Hope it gives you insight and some introspection. 

ENJOY :) 

Welcome to the Second Season of the AirPod with Tshepi.

In the first episode we have an in-depth conversation about self pleasure. It stems further than just the act itself.  Sexual Wellness Coach Lindi R has an open conversation about the benefits of masturbation and how it can pose a threat to the well- being of your relationship. If you masturbate, turns out you are normal after all... why is something so natural so shameful? 

Enjoy :) 

In a country that is meant to be inclusive to all genders, races, cultures, religions etc how is it that the LGBTIQ + community is still left in the backhand of this "inclusivity". On the 9th Episode I speak to Gorata Nzimande a Trans man. We speak of his transitioning journey, the Challenges and beauty that comes with living your truth and owning who you are.  You know the saying - once you are presented with new information you have no excuse for your ignorance. Through this episode I hope you learn, you become kinder, empathetic, understanding and more importantly mind your own business! 

Enjoy :) 

A quick assumption tag from my instagram. A reason why I took short break from my podcast. 

Enjoy!

We often neglect to check on the talkative friend, we neglect to check on the "strong" friend! What do we do when this friend is dealing with depression? what is it about men that makes it so hard for them to come out and speak about their mental health whether they are experiencing the good or the bad part? 

I speak to my good friend Dalisu Ngidi who relives his struggling with depression, how he told his friends and family and bravely relays what could have been the issue and how he has been able to manage his day to day after his diagnosis. 

Nothing will destabilise you like getting ghosted by someone you have been in a relationship with OKAY!!

In this episode Mantsoe Pout and I have an uncensored conversation about our experience of being ghosted by our then partners and how it affected our dating experiences moving forward. 

We can openly talk about how much alcohol we had the night before but we never address the elephant in the room when a friend is dealing with alcohol or drug addiction. I guess the real question we should actually be asking ourselves is whether or not we are able to identify when a close friend is in the addiction phase, are you able to tell? in this episode I have an honest chat with Nontetho Mathe who takes me through her years of drug addiction even during the times we used to hang out and I was completely unaware. This is an episode of hurt, honesty, Triumph, Resilience and without a doubt overcoming. 

I HOPE YOU ENJOY IT :)  

As we grow older many things start to change in our bodies, sometimes for the good and some changes not so good! This chat is somewhat a little personal (hahahahaha) I have misplaced my orgasm and I have not been able to find it for a while now! I have an insightful conversation with Lindi R - A sexual wellness coach, to help me find what the issue may be. 

You may be experiencing the best orgasm of your life right now or hell you have misplaced that bad boy somewhere, let's have the chat you will be surprised at what you have been doing wrong all along.
