For generations, the nuclear family - two parents raising their children together - was presented as the ideal family structure. But today, the way we think about relationships, marriage and parenthood is changing. We are joined by Relationship and Marriage life coach Lulama Mthembu and Transforming Life Speaker, Trevor Kamoto as we tackle why are we preparing for the relationship to fail before it has even had the chance to succeed? Is this a sign that people are becoming more realistic about relationships and recognising that circumstances can change? Or does it suggest that we have become so accustomed to relationships breaking down that we no longer see the traditional family structure as something worth aspiring to?

For many gospel artists, the journey into music is not simply about pursuing a career,  it is about answering a calling and sharing a message of hope, worship and inspiration.

Today, we’re joined by rising gospel artist and worship minister Dominic, who is carving out her own space in the gospel music scene. We’ll hear more about her musical journey, the experiences that have shaped her sound, her faith, and what it means to use her gift to minister to others.

 Pregnancy can be an exciting journey, but it can also come with a lot of uncertainty. From understanding test results and preparing for appointments to knowing what is normal, managing anxiety and getting ready for labour, expecting mothers often have countless questions  and not always enough reliable information at their fingertips. PreggyCheck is a pregnancy companion app created by award-winning obstetrician and gynaecologist Dr Qinisile “Dr Q” Cele, a mother of four with more than 18 years of experience in women’s health. We speak to Dr Q about what inspired her to create PreggyCheck, why localised maternal healthcare matters, and what a truly South African pregnancy companion should look like.
