Warrior Woman Interview with Lenise Swanson - Paediatric Cardiology to the Bodybuilding Stage

September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, and while prostate cancer is something every man should be aware of, Black African men face a particularly high risk of developing the disease.

But beyond the statistics, there’s another conversation we need to have: why do men sometimes wait before getting something checked, and what role can the people who love them play in encouraging them to take their health seriously?

Jonathan Muthige knows this conversation personally. He was diagnosed with Stage 3 prostate cancer after noticing a subtle change following a game of golf. It was something that could easily have been dismissed, but his wife Nwabisa encouraged him to have it checked.

Today, Jonathan and Nwabisa are using their experience through the Factor of Ten Foundation to encourage more men to prioritise their health and have these conversations before there is a crisis.

Clinical Psychologist
Private Practice, Rivonia, Johannesburg

We all have that invisible to-do list running in the back of our minds. Did I pay that bill? What are we having for dinner? I need to respond to that email. The kids need this. I have a deadline tomorrow. I need to book that appointment.

Even when we're physically resting, our brains can still be working overtime.

For Wellness Wednesday, we spoke about the mental load and why constantly keeping track of responsibilities, plans and other people's needs can become exhausting. We also looked at how this invisible workload can affect our relationships, why women often report carrying a particularly heavy mental load, and most importantly, how we can start creating space to actually switch off.
