THE LETTER- ( GUEST: BRIAN MHLANGA – Life and Leadership Coach WWW.BRIANMHLANGA.COM & REITUMETSI MTHEMBU – Registered Counselor COUNSELLING WITH REITUMETSI: INFO@REITUMETSEWELLNESS.CO.ZA

Dear Mapaseka I need your advice. I used to drink alcohol, but I stopped in 2013. Lately I’ve been thinking about having wine again, but my husband has made it very clear that if I start drinking, our marriage is over. He doesn’t drink at all and never has, and he says he wouldn’t have married me if I was drinking when we met. That really hurt me. Now I’m feeling like he’s trying to control me. I’m 44, he’s 49... I feel like I should be able to make my own choices. But at the same time, I don’t want to lose my marriage over something like this. Am I wrong to feel this way? Why can’t he just let me be?

OPENLINE MONDAYS- On Ronewa’s Mind - A Day after Mother’s Day and How it’s Not the same for everyone; the pressure and expectation. ( GUEST: RONEWA MUDAU - Founder of the Healing Mama Circle & Host of I get It Mama Podcast DM @_self_hood (selfhood network) / hello@selfhoodnetwork.co.za

The *_Healing Mama Circle*_ is an intimate wellness and conversation gathering created for mothers- a soft, gentle, honest space where women come together to unpack the emotional, mental and identity shifts that often come with motherhood. Through guided conversations, storytelling, reflection, wellness elements and community, the space encourages mothers to feel seen, supported and less alone in their experiences. The work is deeply rooted in maternal mental wellness, identity, healing, selfhood and honest motherhood conversations that are often not had openly enough. This month’s gathering theme is:“As I Am- releasing expectations & honouring the mama I actually am.” It’s taking place on the 23rd. Especially during Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re creating space for mothers to release pressure, perfectionism and performance, and instead reconnect with themselves gently and honestly. The Healing Mama Circle forms part of Selfhood Network — a platform committed to creating emotionally intentional spaces and conversations around womanhood, motherhood and healing.
