Her Chapter

We're Home! Season 3 in Zimbabwe 22.07.2026 19p

This episode is different, because for the first time, we're not just talking about home, we're actually here. Fadzie and Musa sit down in Zimbabwe to open Season 3, reflecting on what "home" really means when you've built a life somewhere else. There's something about being back on this soil, hearing the sounds, seeing familiar faces, that shifts a conversation. So this one goes there: the nostalgia, the growth, the strange in-betweenness of belonging to two places at once. We also talk about what it's meant to finally meet, in person, some of the people who've been part of this journey online. The ones who've commented, messaged, watched from afar, and become part of the Her Chapter community in ways that felt distant until now. There's a particular kind of full-circle moment in that. Season 3 starts here, on home ground, with open hearts and honest conversation. Thank you for walking this road with us, wherever in the world you're watching from.

The moments that moved them.This season brought voices into the Her Chapter space for the first time, and with them came a depth and honesty that neither of us could have scripted.

The Career Pause: Motherhood, Burnout & Figuring Out What Comes Next | Tendai 01.07.2026 59p

What happens when you finally land the job you worked for and then realise it's costing you more than you expected to pay?Tendai, known as Tales by TSO, is a communications professional, writer, and mother of two. And in this episode, she gets really honest about a decision that a lot of women think about but very few say out loud — stepping away from a dream job because something had to give.After returning to work following her second child, Tendai found herself caught between two versions of herself. The corporate professional who had goals to chase and a career to grow. And the mother who wanted to actually be present. Both versions were real. Both were valid. But they were pulling in opposite directions — and the tension was burning her out.So she made a choice. A career pause. Not because she's done, but because she's paying attention.In this conversation, we talk about what that decision really looked like, the guilt, the clarity, the relief, and the questions that are still unanswered. We talk about motherhood and identity, about what we lose when we try to be everything at once, and about why figuring out what you need before your next move might be the most strategic thing you ever do.This one is for every woman who has ever felt like she's running two lives and winning at neither. You're not failing. You're just being asked to carry too much.Come sit with us.

From Setbacks to CEO: Tracey's journey to building her own Interior Design business 17.06.2026 50p

Some journeys to purpose are straight lines. Tracey's was not. Wrong grades. The wrong university. Starting over. Graduating and still not finding her footing. Years working in a role that didn't feel like hers. And then, finally a sense of direction. And the courage to build something of her own. She opened her business in the middle of a pandemic. But when you listen to Tracey's story, you'll understand that she's a resilient person. Because she has already survived things that would break most people. Losing her father to suicide at 15. Going through a divorce. Carrying grief and still choosing to keep going. In this episode, Tracey doesn't just talk about interior design. She talks about what it means to keep rebuilding, your career, your life, yourself, when the path keeps shifting beneath your feet. This one is for anyone who feels like they've taken too many wrong turns to still make it.

Evolving with Mis Fay 11.06.2026 1ó 7p

Healing isn't a moment. It's a becoming. MisFay joins us this week for a conversation about what it really means to choose yourself — to sit with a therapist and unpack the parts of you that you'd been carrying quietly, to grow through the discomfort instead of around it, and to come out the other side softer, but stronger. This episode isn't about what ended. It's about everything that began after. The therapy that taught her to hear herself. The evolving that nobody applauds because it happens in private. And the love she walked into afterwards — the kind that doesn't ask her to shrink, perform, or prove. A love that heals, because she healed first. What MisFay reminds us is that peace isn't something you stumble into. You build it. Choice by choice, session by session, boundary by boundary. And when love finds you in that place, it meets a whole woman. This one is for anyone doing the quiet work right now. Keep going. The version of you on the other side is worth it.

6 Years of Breakup Stories: The Feeling Station 04.06.2026 1ó 7p

This week on Her Chapter, we sat down with Tinto — host of The Feeling Station — to talk about what happens when you hold space for people's heartbreak long enough to see the patterns. We got into how it started, the episodes that stayed with her long after the mic went off, and the patterns she keeps hearing in breakup stories — the ones that make you realise heartbreak has a language we all speak, even when we think we're alone in it.

From Debt to Financial Educator: Rumbi's Story 27.05.2026 38p

What do you do when you lose your job, your husband loses his job, and you've got a child to care for and a pile of debt? Rumbi could have stayed stuck. Instead, she got to work. In this episode, she takes us through the real, unglamorous version of the financial reset, paying off debt slowly, learning to budget when money feels tight, and eventually building the kind of financial confidence that led her to become an educator. But the thing that changed everything? It wasn't a spreadsheet. It was her mindset. And now she teaches other people how to do the same.

Not once.In this conversation, she talks about what happens when the man you love lets you down. What you carry after that. What you hide from your children. What you never say out loud, until now.Some of it was hard to sit through. Some of it felt like something finally releasing.I don't take lightly that she chose to do this. That she chose to do it with me. That is an honour I will hold for the rest of my life.Please be gentle with your mother. You genuinely have no idea how much they are carrying, and how much of it they carried so you wouldn't have to.Happy Mother's Day to every woman holding that role, in any form it takes. 🤍
