5M CULTURE SHIFT - THE DEATH OF SMALL TALKS (22 JULY 26)

We live in a world that’s obsessed with “deep conversations.” We want authenticity, vulnerability and meaningful connections. But somewhere along the way, we’ve started dismissing small talk as awkward, fake or a waste of time. The irony? Small talk is often how meaningful relationships begin. Is small talk a waste of time, or is it one of the most underrated life skills we have? /  Is small talk becoming a lost art? Have we forgotten how to connect through the little conversations that lead to the big ones?

5MM YOUNG BLOOD FIVE - THETHA NATHI COUNSELLING SERVICES (21 JULY 26)

5MM IS TAKING SUPPLEMENTS EFFECTIVE? (21 JULY 26)

There is always a new supplement to take. Drink this pink thing. Pop this green thing. Plus, maintaining a healthy diet. They are supposedly promising immune support, better sleep, stronger joints and sharper focus and very little to help you understand why one might work better than another.  How effective are those supplements really? should i be taking them in the form of a pill or as fruits and vegetables  I’ve heard most of the vitamins aren’t even absorbed? Am I wasting my money?  Karabo chats to an expert next.

5MM CULTURE SHIFT - ARE WE DRAMA QUEENS OR WERE OUR PARENTS PUTTING UP WITH TOO MUCH (21 JULY 26)

Gen Z is often accused as being the “least resilient" generation. Too quick to call out behaviour they feel is problematic. Is it possible for a whole generation to be too sensitive? Crying wolf at the smallest things?  Or, is it possible that our parents were actually too tolerant?  Is the trend of “setting boundaries” coming from a generation that lacks resilience and tolerance? Or did our parents put up with too much?  Are we drama queens or were our parents putting up with too much? 

5MM REAL TALK NO FILTER - CAN SOMEONE BE A GOOD PERSON BUT A BAD PARTNER (18 JULY 26)

5MM CULTURE SHIFT - THE CONVENIENCE TAX(20 JULY 26)

What’s something you happily pay extra for because it gives you back time? The Convenience Tax. In a world of instant everything, we’re spending more money to buy back time, not just products. Grocery delivery? E-hailing to save time on parking (or renting a car while travelling)? Microwave meals/ buying food at work/ varsity? Paying someone to clean?
