Daring Greatly Podcast with Tshepo MantjéThe Spirituality of Letting Go with Linathi MakandaSend us a text“The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize that the situation is over, you cannot move forward.” (Steve Maraboli).

Daring Greatly Podcast with Tshepo MantjéHow does the tree be? (A Journal Entry)Send us a text"Choose to grow where you are planted." What? How? Realising fully that the present moment is all there ever is - that where you are right now is where you're meant to be - and accepting that, is one of the biggest challenges of the human experience (at least of my human experience). In this episode, I share my personal journal entry, where I ponder the experience of the tree in an attempt to learn from its transcendent expression.

Daring Greatly Podcast with Tshepo MantjéLet go of Goals and Set Intentions with Sihle NgqawanaSend us a text"Intention is more than wishful thinking—it’s willful direction. It is a philosophy of the heart put into practice, a consistency of conscious patterns of thought, energy, and action. Through intention, we see more and create with more clarity, passion, and authenticity. Our attention then becomes a spotlight for every shred of supporting evidence that we’re on the right path.” - Jennifer Williamson. In this episode I am joined by mental health activist and blog writter, Sihle Ngqawana. Sihle talks about the importance of setting intentions. She explains the difference between setting...2021-01-231h 11

Daring Greatly Podcast with Tshepo Mantjé7 Steps to Overcoming Internal ResistanceSend us a textMore often than not we find that, actually doing the task is not the difficult part. The difficult part is getting ourselves to start and to working consistently. We find that we are the ones who stand in our own way - even though we do want to complete the task and succeed. Why is this? It is Internal Resistance. It manifests in many different ways - procrastination, distraction, lack of motivation, self-doubt - but essentially, it is our brain's attempt to keep us in our comfort zone because of fear.

Daring Greatly Podcast with Tshepo MantjéIt Gets Difficult Sometimes (A Journal Entry)Send us a textAs someone who intentionally engages with mental health issues, I have developed an unrealistic expectation for myself: to always be good. It often feels re-enforced by people who depend on me for one or other reason: "If you aren't good, what's going to happen to us?" When times of difficulty come, it feels like this should not be happening; like "I should know better". But the reality of things is that sometimes it gets difficult for all of us. In the midst of these emotions, I decided to journal. In this episode is...2020-09-2006 min

Daring Greatly Podcast with Tshepo MantjéBOOK CLUB #3 Debunking Myths About Vulnerability (with Sihle Ngqawana)For many of us allowing ourselves to be vulnerable is a task we do not want to undertake. Mainly because we have come to understand vulnerability as a "bad thing" or a weakness.

In this episode Sihle and I discuss Chapter 2 of Dr Brene Brown's book, Daring Greatly where she debunks 4 myths we've come to believe about vulnerability which have stopped us from creating real connections.
