Episode 14 | The Cost Of Looking Like You’re “Winning”
OH-Kay, Let’s Talk About It - Being back home reminded me how simple life actually can be — and how far we’ve drifted from that. In the city, it’s so easy to start believing that your value comes from what you post, where you’re seen, who you know. You get caught in this cycle of chasing validation without even realising it. But being in eNqutu, where people live slow, grounded lives, where nobody’s rushing to show off their blessings online… it just hit different. It made me realise: so much of what we chase is noise. None of it touches your soul the way real peace does. And the scary part is, if you’re not careful, you’ll wake up one day performing a life you don’t even recognise — all because you were too busy trying to prove you were “making it.” The real flex is waking up with a quiet heart, not a curated feed.Bible Verses 🤍 Ecclesiastes 1:2🤍 Matthew 6:1_________________________________________Follow me on IG: @Kay_Khuzwayo (https:// www.instagram.com/kay_khuzwayo?igsh=ZG9jbjlvNWIzMzlw)TikTok @KayKhuzwayo (www.tiktok.com/@kaykhuzwayo) for more!_________________________________________Music By: RomanCiigarIG: @Romanciigar (https://www.instagram.com/romanciigar?igsh=ODh0Y2Zvc3B0aWZv)Apple Music:https://music.apple.com/za/artist/roman-%0Acligar/1551446770

Episode 13 | Grief Is Love With No Place To Go [With Thandokuhle Ranaka]
Grief is the echo left behind when love has nowhere to go. It’s the invisible weight pressing against the ribs, where laughter once lived and silence now lingers. It is love’s shadow, stretched long and dark across the days that follow a loss.This episode is dedicated with Love to Gogoshi Katlego and Wandile. In this episode, Thando and I talk about the loss of our beloved cousin and sister, Katlego. We share our experience of hearing the news, the complicated nature of grief, and how we've been coping day by day since her passing. We also reflect on the wisdom and perspective this journey has brought us, and we try to encourage anyone going through something similar to keep moving forward—there is light at the end of the tunnel.Thank you to my beautiful sister, friend, cousin Thando, doing this episode with you was so special. I love you. ________________________________Bible Verses 🤍Psalm 34:18 “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”🤍 1 Peter 5:7“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.”________________________________Music[This Too Shall Pass] by Scott Buckley - released under CC-BY 4.0. www.scottbuckley.com.au_________________________________________________________________________Follow me on IG: @Kay_Khuzwayo (https:// www.instagram.com/kay_khuzwayo?igsh=ZG9jbjlvNWIzMzlw)TikTok @KayKhuzwayo (www.tiktok.com/@kaykhuzwayo) for more!_________________________________________Music By: RomanCiigarIG: @Romanciigar (https://www.instagram.com/romanciigar?igsh=ODh0Y2Zvc3B0aWZv)Apple Music:https://music.apple.com/za/artist/roman-%0Acligar/1551446770
