  • Mindfully connected

    I thought maybe I would rate her higher because of the bias I hold about her of being South African and her winning Miss SA at one point, but no, the conversation and guest speakers feel like a cold drink on a hot summer day when you didn’t know how much your body needed the refreshment. Shudu thank you for providing such a platform for Africa. These conversation move beyond what I could have ever expected, thank you for sharing knowledge with us and challenging us to re-define [self] in an Afri... more

  • Mental Health Through the Lens of Success

A gentle, healing space that reminds us therapy is simply learning to understand yourself with kindness.

    For anyone hesitant about therapy, whether because of stigma, fear, or misconceptions. Shudu’s podcast is a gentle remi... more

You Asked, I Answered: On Resilience, Self-Belief & Finding Your Way
Q: How do you distinguish between a sign you should abandon a goal or change your approach?

You Asked, I Answered: On Resilience, Self-Belief & Finding Your Way
Q: How do you handle self-doubt and imposter syndrome?

You Asked, I Answered: On Resilience, Self-Belief & Finding Your Way
Q: What keeps you going in the face of adversity?
Faith, therapy, and curated inputs (books, people, music) that reinforce a positive outlook; and taking small, consistent actions (like gym, routines) that steady progress even when results aren't immediate.
You Asked, I Answered: On Resilience, Self-Belief & Finding Your Way
Q: What tips do you have for someone trying to pivot their career into a field that seems out of reach?
