Brave Moment with Mali Nxumalo Lutcha

On my birthday, I woke up and ran 6km and, because I've had to heal different parts of my body, this run felt like an achievement. I've been navigating the concept of discipline as I face setbacks (big and small) and I thought I'd share something I recorded a while ago. It does get messy, but there is also joy, peace, and love in the midst of it all.



Oh, by the way, the poem is by Caitlyn Siehl, "It ends, or it doesn't". I hope you keep it as a reminder on really hard days or moments; It ends or it doesn't.

As promised, I'm back with some phone-recorded diary entries. So please, excuse the huffs and puffs as most of these will happen on my runs/jogs/walks. I share some of the questions I have about gratitude, how do you navigate gratitude when you feel that you don't have a lot to be grateful for? I'd love to hear what you guys do to cultivate gratitude in your lives.

This one was recorded in February, so we're playing catch-up!

I am coming back!!! This podcast is born from my very own Brave Moments and it has been such a daunting experience getting this short episode to you all. I am slowly coming back to my new self, and slowly coming back to Brave Moment. If you've been wondering where I've been, in this episode, I open up a bit about that. All I ever want to do is serve with an open heart and from an honest place, so for those who have missed my voice, I'm here for you. It's okay to take some time to heal, deal and love yourself, just please come back. I am making my way, and I hope you'll join me as I do.

This conversation felt like love, I sat down with Lerato Phakade. A name you will want to remember, she shares her journey from being a consultant at McKinsey to owning her firm and now being a Jazz photographer/filmmaker. We had some audio challenges, but I promise you it's worth listening past the noise.

In this episode, I had a lot of laughs with my brother, Onke Madlala. We were thinking about the journey of life and how we can get lost in it all. We chatted about what we mean by remembering yourself, honoring where you come from and those that came before you.

In this episode I sat down with an old friend, Founder of Karani Leadership, Nizenande Machi. We met in her lovely home in Johannesburg, surrounded by pictures of her beautiful kids and the aroma of brewing coffee. We chatted about her perspective on failure and what rest looks like when running your own business. She shared some thought provoking points on how failure and purpose are intertwined. Grab a seat, this will be a good one!
