    EP 23 - THE MENTAL: ACKNOWLEDGING WHAT'S IN YOUR HEAD

    In this episode of The Third Alternative, I delve into the importance of acknowledging our mental health and how what's going on in our heads is real and valid. Inspired by a recent conversation with a friend and reflecting on the significance of Suicide Prevention Month, I share personal insights about losing a close friend, Motsamai Rorisang 'Roxstar' Mohlabai, to suicide one year ago. We explore why mental health should never be dismissed, how to process our thoughts and emotions, and the power of seeking help when needed. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that acknowledging our mental struggles is a vital step toward healing.

    EP 22 - SPEAK YOUR MIND & BE RESPONSIBLE

In addition, it is common for us to be taught that we should avoid speaking if we have nothing kind to say because doing so can offend others, and we should constantly endeavour to maintain peace. But is it truly the best course of action? That's what I talk about in the podcast Don't forget to Like, Comment and Subscribe Young Fam.
