When a Man communicates especially in a relationship, is it a language we women can understand? At times a woman who is in a relationship with a man may struggle to understand how he moves and if what he is saying matches with his actions?  Do men communicate differently to how we do as women?  More on this with LINDA ANDE YENDE - Author of Wake Up Woman and Dear Uncle L alongside BRIAN MHLANGA Leadership Development Practitioner

Dear Mapaseka My name is Itumeleng a 39yr old single mother. I have 2 kids of my own and 3 of my late sister's which I have been taking care of financially since I started working. My childhood was never easy or enjoyable, therefore I promised myself that I will give my kids the best I can. My elder sister passed away same time I started working so I had to be a mother to her 3 daughters instantly, that was in 2007. Had my first child in 2009 and the second in 2017. Everything was going well I was managing all the kids and my mother until I lost my job in 2020 March. 2020 and 2021 was not bad coz we were able to live on my savings. This year I have been having suicidal thoughts because I feel like I am failing as a mother, I can't sleep at night. Always having headaches and I would literally sleep with my right arm raised up the wall coz it will be painful. Every time I want to end my life the only thing that stops me is my little girl. I can't even open up to my friends coz I've always been the strongest among us. In would sit in the car for hours, crying. I don't know what to do.

What is Lupus? and how does it affect your body?  Joined by PONTSO MOILA - Founder The Lupus Drive & NANDE - Lupus Warrior (experienced organ failure and recently had a kidney transplant) Lupus is a disease that occurs when your body's immune system attacks your own tissues and organs (autoimmune disease). Inflammation caused by lupus can affect many different body systems — including your joints, skin, kidneys, blood cells, brain, heart and lungs. Symptoms vary but can include fatigue, joint pain, rash and fever. These can periodically get worse (flare up) and then improve. While there's no cure for lupus, current treatments focus on improving quality of life through controlling symptoms and minimising flare-ups. This begins with lifestyle modifications, including sun protection and diet. Further disease management includes medication such as anti-inflammatories and steroids. The most common lupus symptoms (which are the same for men and women) are: Extreme fatigue (feeling tired all the time) Pain or swelling in the joints. Swelling in the hands, feet, or around the eyes. Low fevers. Sensitivity to sunlight or fluorescent light. Chest pain when breathing deeply
