  TAKE THE TRASH OUT (But First, Know What Trash Actually Is) | Youth Day Wisdom | BEING. 28.06.2026 44min

  What if the biggest lesson isn’t learning to let go, but learning to recognise what actually needs letting go?This episode began with something as ordinary as taking out the household trash. It began as a reflection on the emotional, relational, and internal “trash” we sometimes hold onto for far too long: people-pleasing, insecurity, unhealthy habits, unresolved hurt, misplaced guilt, and beliefs that quietly shape the way we live.But there’s another side to the conversation.Sometimes we throw away things that were never trash to begin with. We mistake wounded people for worthless people. We confuse difficult seasons with dead ends. We discard relationships, opportunities, or even parts of ourselves because we haven’t learned the difference between what is unhealthy and what simply needs healing.In this second episode of the Youth Day Wisdom series, we explore the importance of discernment. How to identify what truly no longer belongs in your life, what deserves grace, and what can be repurposed into something life-giving.Because wisdom isn’t just knowing when to let go.It’s knowing what you’re holding.Topics discussed:• Discernment and wisdom (what trash even is)• People-pleasing• Personal growth and emotional maturity• Healthy relationships and boundaries• Self-awareness• Letting go of unhealthy habits• HealingConnect with me:Instagram: @beingpodcast and @beingbahumiTikTok: @beingbahumiYouTube: Being.

  ADVICE TO MY YOUNGER SELF | YOUTH DAY | JUNE 16 | REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE | BEING. 03.06.2026 36min

  Youth Day is often marked by celebration, reflection, and remembrance. This year, as South Africa commemorates 50 years since the Soweto Uprising, I found myself thinking not only about the young people who fought for a better future, but also about what we can learn from their courage, conviction, and sense of identity.In this first episode of my Youth Day Wisdom series, I reflect on one of the most important lessons I’ve learned, and continue learning: Remember who you are.Inspired in part by Mufasa’s iconic words in The Lion King, this conversation explores identity, purpose, self-worth, personal growth, and the importance of staying grounded in truth, especially in a world constantly telling us who we should be.Whether you’re a teenager finding your way, a parent guiding the next generation, or an adult discovering that growth never really ends, this episode is an invitation to reflect, remember, and move forward with intention.Because some lessons aren’t only for the young. They’re for all of us.Topics discussed:• Youth Day and the Soweto Uprising• Identity and self-discovery• Personal growth and self-development• Purpose• Lessons I wish I knew when I was younger• Remembering who you are Hosted on Acast.
