Loving your family is often an unconditional or biological instinct, but liking them is difficult because it requires sharing similar values, enjoying their personality traits, and actually wanting to spend time together. We are in conversation with Life Coach and Mentor, Goodnews Cadogan  as we unpack why liking your family is more difficult than loving them.

THE ART OF COMEDY: Panch Gasela 

Every scar tells a story. Some are visible, while others are hidden beneath smiles, silence and the pressure to "be strong." For many young people, struggles with anxiety, depression, peer pressure and self-harm are carried alone because they don't feel they have a safe space to speak.

A community initiative called Beautiful Scar is changing that narrative. Founded by Rethabile Lechela seven years ago, the programme encourages young people to turn their pain into purpose by creating spaces where they can speak openly about their experiences, access support and connect with organisations that can help. Beyond conversations, the initiative also gives back through projects like sanitary pad drives and soup kitchens, proving that healing happens not only through words but through community.

This morning, we're joined by the founder of Beautiful Scar to explore why creating safe spaces for honest conversations is more important than ever before.

Feel Good: Rethabile Lechela

They say it only takes one person to change the trajectory of an entire family. But what happens when you're that person? The one expected to earn the degree, build the wealth, heal the trauma, support everyone financially, and create opportunities that previous generations never had. Being the so-called "generational curse breaker" is often celebrated, but behind the success can be immense pressure, guilt, burnout, and the feeling that there's no room to fail. We are in conversation with Empowerment coach, Muvumbi Ndzalama Ngwenya on the pressure that comes with being the generational curse breaker as we focus on love, marriage an increased divorce rates.
