Hiya peeps, This week's episode is a bit of a "downer" but I think it's important to talk about, especially cause we're approaching the festive season. I hope my story helps someone out there.

Hi y'all. In this episode, I speak about what real confidence means to me as well as give a breakdown of my own personal confidence journey. I'm not fully there but I don't mind working my whole life to get there!

Hiya,

I feel a bit worried about putting this episode out there. Hopefully, it helps someone going through the same thing and makes them realize that they're not alone.

Hi y'all, sorry this one is a couple of days late. I've been off on a trip and could only get the time to upload now.  I know this one is a bit of a deep one but hopefully, next week's episode will be a bit more light-hearted.

Hi Y'all,

I only learned recently about boundaries so, I hope this helps whoever might need to learn about them. It's okay to say no, put your foot down and stand up for yourself if you feel like those around you don't have your interest in mind.

Hey Y'all! She is back and more consistent than ever (thanks to a bit of support from a special friend). This episode of ABG was recorded a while back (in early Feb) and I have to be honest, I was overthinking a bit about uploading it. Eventually, I came to the decision that it could have the possibility to help someone out there so I got the guts to finally put it out there. Thank you again Karabo for being so open and honest about your mental health journey! Stay tuned for Part 2 next Sunday!
