    Are schools ready for Neurodivergent children?

    Just in case you missed the live radio interview! In this episode, Monty Kgengwenyane and I joined Soso on Yarona FM to talk about life as a neurodivergent child and as a parent raising one. We shared insights on how parents can better support their neurodivergent children — from recognizing early signs and seeking assessments, to navigating what comes after a diagnosis. These are exactly the kinds of powerful conversations we’ll be continuing at Teen Summit 2026, where we’ll explore inclusive education and how every child can thrive. Enjoy the interview!

    Nana Kgosidialwa- Part 2 | Raising Children | Leading by Example | Leading Life & Purpose

    Today we had Nana again back in studio to discuss deeply on the career she pivoted to that involves Life Coaching. The coaching involves both children and adults - and this lead to her noticing how in-fact most of the time, parents are the ones needing the coaching on how to parent. Whether we are intensional or not about parenting - we are teaching our kids how to lead life by how we lead our lives. They are watching what we do daily - how we speak to / treat other people, our life styles, the friends we keep, the partners we choose, what we do at home daily, our work ethic etc. It is registering subconsciously. Our conversation in a nut shell- how there is need for positive intensional and conscious parenting. Our children are struggling because of this lack. It is okay to seek help as parents - especially if you are struggling in this area. Food for thought - It is not always the child that is the problem. Quite a refreshing and informative conversation on parenting, leading purposeful lives, paying attention to our children's gifts, making coaching a life style and leading fulfilled lives. Happy watching and happy new week. Full episode link on bio.

    Nana Kgosidialwa | Transitioning Careers | Leaving Ministry | Life Coaching | Choosing Joy- Part 1

    Today on Suero TV we had Nana Kgosidialwa on her life and professional journey. We touched on her up bringing - being given away by her parents to her aunt at 16 months and how it affected her and her siblings. Growing up in a staunch christian home and dealing with teenage pregnancy. The sudden loss of her mum - made her re think life and pushed her pursue her purpose relentlessly. Choosing the not so common route of leaving ministry to private coaching - how she navigated the complexity of it. The importance of choosing your dreams and yourself boldly.-being selective of the company you keep this includes your partner. We touched on how our up bringing affects how we raise our kids - we need to deal with our traumas so we do not pass it down to our children. The Road Less Travelled story is the conversation we had here. I hope you get inspired by her story - an absolute refreshing and vulnerable conversation of a young woman who chose herself. Happy Watching.

    Retirement Planning| Different view of retirement | Know your Retirement Needs | Other Income Stream

    On this episode, I spoke on Retirement Planning holistically not just the money aspect of it only. Spoke on having different income streams - by having more than one pension, other investments - such as buying shares, other compound interest investments, investment property for rental income etc. Having plans in place on what to do with oneself post retirement- such as running a passion business, lecturing at a local university, travel, mentoring, etc. Where you are going live - whether moving out of your current home into a smaller one, or moving to the village/ farm- considering many factors such as access to Drs, hospitals, shops - general quality of life. Medical Aid being priority, touched on this too. Plans for your care when reaching an age where you are not able to do that for yourself- Old age home options, hire a nurse/ carer living with you, moving in with your children- these are important conversation to have with your family. If you do not have a pension fund that you are contributing to because employer does not have or you are self employed - you can open one for yourself. The sooner you have the plans above locked down- the better. These are plans that one has to sit down, think and draw up their ideal retirement plan for themselves. It does not have to always be moving to the village or farm like the norm in our country. It can be aligned to who you are.

Her creative and eventing work merged when she worked with the now retired O Mag in SA, bringing the first ever O Mag Tea parties to be hosted out of SA. We touched on how she grew up - and how she was raised. Touched on her as mother and wife. Her spiritual journey- and how with age, perspective and view of the world changes. We touched on how if your life is aligned with God, if you pay attention, each stage in your life transitions to who you need to be in that season. Sometimes even losing friends and gaining new ones. Tshepo has since left radio in 2016 - we tapped into her journey post radio. Her story in Business, the ups and downs of it. How alignment in values in super imperative in Business. The importance of trusting and believing in yourself. Her crash and burn story - trusting too much in Business. What a story - of a creative in Business that persevered through it all.
