  • Great insight’s

    I enjoy most topics. Found this late so I am still catching up. Just do not understand having to listen to almost an entire episode in Afrikaans on an important subject then end up losing context. Yes accommodate everyone, a phrase or two with translation are fine, but an entire paragraph is not cool. Nonetheless I love the concept and the topics.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Stephanie Baartman: I Saved Myself
Q: as a person in abusive relationship, how, when do you know it's time?
The moment you start believing the abuse, excuses, and the perpetrator's messages, you realize you are at a point where stepping away is the only way to save yourself.
Wills & Estates: What I Should Know...
Q: What is a living will?
A living will is a separate document that speaks for you when you cannot speak for yourself, guiding healthcare decisions while a will handles asset distribution after death.
Wills & Estates: What I Should Know...
Q: What is an executor and why should we appoint one? And who appoints an executor?
An executor is named by the testator to administer the estate, ensure assets are distributed according to the will, and handle legal formalities; typically appointed by the testator, with both a financial advisor and an attorney often serving as advisers in the process.
Wills & Estates: What I Should Know...
Q: What is a will and who needs one?
A will is a binding document that directs how assets are distributed after death, and everyone with assets should consider having one to control who inherits what rather than letting intestate succession decide.
My Miracle Baby: IVF Saved Us
Q: How long was it from starting IVF to when you conceived?
It took us two and a half years from starting IVF to finally conceiving my son.
