We love Sundays, and we all know what that means, a new episode! Today we cover my 29 takeaways from my 20s and how I will be carrying these lessons into my new decade. I feel like the year before a new decade sets the tone for what's to come on your new lap and I've been extremely intentional about my last trip around the sun of my 20s. I hope this episode encourages the kollectiv to also take some time and stock of their takeaways as they go into a new age.

Another Sunday, another Kollectiv gathering. We will never stop giving gratitude on every chance we get to connect to our kommunity, so thank you for tuning in. On today's episode, we talk about being the generational curse breaker aka The Breakthrough Kid!

Hello to our favourite Kollectiv. We know that second Sundays are dedicated to CIB episodes and as the saying goes "better late than never", serves relevance in this case as we went live a few days late than expected. In the same breath, we appreciate the kollectiv patience from our CIB family and would like to believe this episode was worth the wait.  We've broken down the episode coverage for your spirit to resonate and for audio enjoyment. 28:45 - Formal housekeeping, while taking the time to appreciate our audience connecting from all around the world plus we cover an extract from the book "A fire like you" by Upile Chisala as our words/quote of the day. We jumped straight right into the episode's topic by defining  Hyper Independence from trusted sources and unearthing even more from a soul-led perspective the cracks of this infamous chokehold.  28:49 - 56:84 - Signs of Hyper independence in our daily lives and the defensiveness we may be facing in not recognizing this sense of life as a trauma response and how trauma can birth hyper-independence. Another look is the realities of how "HI" can move from being fulfilling in terms of reaching our accomplishment to how its shifts to a negative effect and affect your overall overview in relationships, self-worth, and navigation of living in community with others.  56:85 - 01:27:17 How to navigate and unlearn hyper-independence and form healthy and fulfilling dependence patterns in your every day while honoring the power that comes with maintaining a sense of independence for yourself and those around you.

If there was a quote to speak on this episode, it would be from my favourite author, Anais Nin I quote `' And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to bloom". Journeying with Fundiswa Ntoyi on our first official episode for season two, we got to spend time with a multifaceted creative, and phenomenal soul, who encompasses so much grace and warmth, you can't help but be drawn more and more into the conversation. We delved into her season of transformation, the need to heal, what she had to face in order to make it to the other side, difficult truths, and who is Fundiswa 2.0. Like every episode we share, the intention is to resonate and grow as part of the kollectiv and we hope we did just that and even more. 

Back like we never left! Welcome back to CIB season 2, Kollecitv. Soul glad to be connecting with each and every one of you once again! I'm very sure this season will be everything we prayed for and more. The season of surrender is where we at! letting go and letting the divine take the lead and clear + realign your journey purposefully so. As always, I hope you resonate with today's episode.  Don't forget to follow us on Instagram @conversations_in_between_ for more CIB updates.  A beautiful and blessed week to you and yours. ASÈ.

Possibly the longest episode of the season, rightfully so seeing that it's the last one for season 1.  Let's get into this QnA! as we bring such a beautiful and fulfilling season to an end. I guarantee you, as like every episode this one is well worth your time ;). Thank you to each and everyone who journeyed with CIB this season, words can never amount to the gratitude I have for the Kollective, Ngiyabonga. The 6 episodes have been soul-fulfilling. 7 symbolizes a time for rest and realignment for even more betterment, as we hit reset and plan for the new season, I believe it will be everything and more.  Until then, I hope life continues to be kind, filled with ease and an abundance of comfort, and most especially the right kind of love.  Asé.

No malfunctions formed against us shall prosper! This was the prayer throughout today's episode with my very close Friend Nontokozo Tshabalala as we were dodging all network setbacks to bring this amazing episode. Nonto is not only a very dear friend to me,  she's also a multidisciplinary artist with an interest in the endless possibilities Afrofuturism has to offer. With a grounding in Graphic Design in graphic design, she uses visuals to explore some of the questions she has about herself as an Afrikan black woman engaging with different contexts of blackness on the global stage.  Today we connected with the Co-Founder of award-winning and history-making studio, Mam'Goboza Design factory, and converse about what self-therapy has looked like for her as she instinctively journey's through life and its different seasons. We touch on self-accountability, self-love, and also evolving purposefully into who you are meant to be. We've had so many meaningful conversations with Nonto over the decade that I continue to cherish to date, and this episode serves testament to that and more.

Hello to my favourite circle, the collective.  This episode is personal. It's me being vulnerable, mostly because I know the CIB kollective is a safe space. I felt it's only fair that I wear my heart on my sleeve and just share how I've been feeling lately. I believe it's important to speak about all the days we experience. The good, bad, sad, confusing as well as all the in-betweens.  There is such a  great joy I feel when I record an episode, hence I knew that doing this episode will contribute positively to my constant journey to healing.  I've experienced a lot of losses in my life but none can compare to my mom's passing. 14 Years later her passing anniversary week still has me in a bag of mixed emotions. Talking about has become a form of therapy for me, something my unhealed, younger self couldn't bear. I felt safe enough to do that on today's episode, seeing that comfort and care are what the kollective is known for, for which I am truly grateful.  I'd say enjoy this episode but I believe it will each and everyone who tunes in will take what they need to take. Plus I share my 7-day holistically cleanse plan for the new week which is focused on resting, restoring, reevaluating, and reviving all the important parts of me that contribute to my sovereignty. Putting in the work! lol.  As with every episode, I hope today's conversation does a 1-up to the betterment of your soul.  Asé.
