The Kwam Podcast

“Having a partner is never an excuse as a woman to never know what’s going on with you financially” @setwice

We interviewed our girl Sethu about managing your finances and she dropped some gems! We talked about financial debt, trauma and recovery. Often we have a lot of shame about accumulating debt and getting out of debt. Money is not the only thing that makes the world go round - assets, connections, planning and discussions also play a part. So this week join us as we talk about financial trauma, financial recovering and we look forward by discussing financial planning and investment tips! So please listen to the last minute because it will be worth it. As always rate, review and subscribe.

Do you have a dog or have you ever considered getting a dog? We recently noticed that some of our friends are either becoming plant or pup moms. So we invited our girl, Mantwa to talk about her journey. From dogs worth R34 000 to discovering that dogs also get their period, this week we discuss black girls adopting or buying a dog. The highlights to the pitfalls and all the parts we hadn’t considered. So give this episode a listen and share your pup stories (whether you have one or want one)! We love you for listening #LoveKwam

If money makes the world go round then does lending it make go faster or slower? It can certainly slow down the progress of a relationship. It is all roses and endless sunshines until a dear friend cannot pay you back money as promised. The drama of following up and unanswered calls. You were a great friend when you borrowed your cousin the money but now you are a villain! This week’s episode discusses the scrounge of money in our friendships, relationships and within family. Is it time to set boundaries around money lending? Will your next answer when asked for money be “sorry friend, perhaps an overdraft or a personal loan at the bank?” Join us and let’s discuss. #LoveKwam

Another week and another episode, are you still listening? Women are often celebrated for being independent or pursuing independence but what about agency. What is agency? Do you have agency over yourself? Does it even matter? This week we are talking about thinking and embracing agency over your life. I don’t know about you but Nqo and Lindie have decided to be independent women with agency over their lives. Give a little listen and maybe you do too. As always rate, review and subscribe. #LoveKwam

This is the coffee table talk podcast episode you have been WAITING FOR ok!!

We discuss books that we love, books that transported us into their era's. We talk books that have brought the house down. Books that you carry in your handbag. Books that you refer when you want to centre yourself. One thing about Nqobile and Lindie. We love reading.

Friendship break ups are the worst but a REA part of growing up. One moment we were hitting the club together the next we barely have anything in common. Growing apart can easily happen if your values aren't aligned or when the friendship no longer serves you.

Listen to this episode and grab your tissues.

"Cyril needs to open up the country, so that I can get married cause I'm not doing this s't(lockdown)alone again"

One of the feelings many of us are experiencing during the current coronavirus pandemic is loneliness. In our combined efforts to stay safe and save lives, our usual ways of seeing family, friends or just familiar faces have been put on pause.

In this episode we discuss this topic at length AND give out some pointers as to how to still engage safely with others.
