The last couple of months have been challenging for me. I’ve been in a space where I was filled with doubt and fear. Today I’m reminded that God is with me and that He’s already equipped me with everything I need. Sharing this made me a bit emo
How do you find a therapist that works for you? What can you expect to pay for a session? Today I discuss this and also talk about some of the free options available in South Africa. I hope you’re able to listen with an open heart.
I used to be hard on myself because I thought, “you should be over it by now, Siya. Come on, you cannot still be crying about the same thing.” But I’ve realised that that was me trying to rush the healing process. What I know for sure is that t
As a person who was diagnosed with depression a few years ago, I’ve heard a lot of things from people who thought they were trying to make me feel better. While understand that they meant well and were coming from a good place, there are some t
I’m still in a season of waiting in my life and today I want to talk about surrender. I’d like to share why I’m choosing to trust in something that is bigger than myself, something that is outside of myself, even when I don’t understand (someti
I’ve been in a season of waiting for a while now and it can get a little frustrating at times. You’ve probably been in a place where you’ve trusted God for something, and hoped that he’d come through for you ASAP. What I’ve learned in this seas
Today I just want to remind you that you’re not alone. May you be reminded that no matter how tough and lonely this season may be, you’re not alone. May you find comfort in this truth and may you draw strength from those who’ve come before you.
Have you ever had to navigate the workplace while battling with depression? I have! Today I open up about my experience and how it made me feel. I hope we can one day get to a place where people aren’t ashamed to talk about their experiences. L
On this episode I chat about the other side of pain. I would have never imagined that I’d ever get to a place where the things that used to hurt me (and keep me up at night) no longer have the same effect on me. I’ve come to learn that there’s
I know for sure that tough times don’t last. Today, I want to remind you that things always get better. No matter what you’re facing right now, just know that you will get to the other side.
I’m in a place where I can safely say I feel good and I’m genuinely happy, from the bottom of my heart. I realise the importance of mentioning this because I’ve had many bad days. So, this is a space that I’m celebrating, one that I’m happy to
The waiting season is not easy and I’ve had my fair share of struggles in this season. If you’ve ever found yourself here, you’ll probably understand why it sometimes feels so barren because you’re not producing any “fruit”. This is where I am
One thing I’ve learned about trauma is that it changes your life forever — whether in a good or a bad way. Over the years, I’ve had many flashbacks about the rape incident and have had to find tools and resources to help me with the ordeal. Tod
Are you aware of the things you consume? Today’s conversation is about the importance of being intentional about the things that occupy your mind, heart and space. It can be friends, family members, the books you read, things you watch on TV/Yo
Today I was to share some of the songs that have helped me through some of my darkest moments. Not only did I find comfort in these songs, but they also served as a reminder of God’s love for me and His promise to never leave nor forsake me. I
On this episode I speak about why I'm not a fan of being labelled as a Strong Black Woman. I've noticed that the term is often used to glamourise black women’s trauma or is always somehow attached to how much pain you can endure as a black woma
Does prayer heal depression? This is the question I intend to answer in today’s conversation, based on my personal experiences. While I believe I. God and the power of prayer, I also believe in seeking professional help. I hope you’re able to r
This episode deals with one of my favourite topics: kindness. One thing I know for sure about me is that I can be too hard on myself. I've realised that I never give myself a break or even give myself the same understanding and compassion that
I'm sure no one likes to go through pain, but I think it's very important to sometimes see it as a gift because it often comes with so many eye-opening and life-changing moments. Today I want to share some of the lessons I've learned through my
Today I speak about who the Nia Conversations Podcast is aimed at. Who did I have in mind when I created this platform? That’s what I’ll be sharing on and I hope this inspires you to find or define “the one” in whatever you’re doing.
Today’s episode is about some of the key lessons I’ve learned along the way. I’d like to share them with you and I do hope that you’re in a place to receive what I have to say.
*Trigger warning* This episode deals with the shame that comes after a sexual assault. I get candid about my own experience and the shame that came after I was sexually assaulted. I also touch on why shame might be one of the reasons why some p
Happy New Year! This first episode for 2021 is all about reflecting on the previous year — the lessons learned, people lost and goals that still need to be achieved. I also talk about the importance of giving from a healthy/good place and livin
Today I was reminded of God’s love for me. This came unexpectedly while I was listening to one of my favourite gospel songs, Kirk Franklin’s “Hold Me Now”. It took me back to a very dark, painful and difficult season and was a reminder of how f
It’s been a rather challenging time. A lot has changed in the world in the last couple of months. Here, I share some of the things I’ve been doing to keep myself afloat.
