Daring Greatly Podcast with Tshepo Mantjé

After a long hiatus, Daring Greatly Podcast is back—and we're taking it back to the heart of why this podcast was created in the first place: embracing vulnerability.In this episode, I reflect on the journey that led me away from the mic and, more importantly, what has brought me back. Life has been full—overflowing with learning, growth, and deep alignment with my purpose. And yet, I've realized that even in seasons of joy, vulnerability still plays a vital role. Because showing up fully in the good times—without foreboding joy or bracing for loss—requires just as much courage as showing up in the hard times.Together, we'll revisit the perspective that changed my life, exploring Dr Brené Brown's wisdom on:✨ What vulnerability really is—and why it's not weakness.✨ The link between shame, fear, and our ability to experience joy.✨ How numbing discomfort also numbs love, gratitude, and connection.✨ The practice of wholehearted living and believing, "I am enough."This episode is an invitation—to myself and to you—to lean back into courage and to dare greatly once again.If this conversation resonates with you, share your thoughts with me! Let's keep this dialogue going on Instagram @DaringMediaZA Keep showing up, keep leaning in, and keep daring greatly.Support the show

In this deeply personal episode, join me, Tshepo, as I chat with the incredible Sihle Ngqawana for an honest and heartfelt conversation about our individual struggles to show up for ourselves.Life has a way of throwing challenges our way, making it difficult to fully embrace our authentic selves and be present in our own lives. Sihle and I open up about our personal journeys, sharing the hurdles we faced and the barriers we encountered on the path to showing up authentically."It's not always easy to show up" sets the tone for the official opening of the Daring Greatly Podcast, marking a new chapter in our collective pursuit of self-growth and community-building. Join us as we embark on this transformative journey together, learning how to show up as ourselves, for ourselves, and for our community.Sihle Ngqawana's SocialsInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/sihlengqawana/sihlengqawana@gmail.comPodcast Socials:Twitter: https://twitter.com/DaringGreatlyPCInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/daringmediaza/daringmediaza@gmail.comTshepo Mantje's Socials:tshepomantje@gmail.comSupport the show

Daring Greatly Podcast is back! In this re-introductory episode, we set our intentions for the new season of Daring Greatly Podcast. New episodes are released every Wednesday. Daring Greatly Podcast (inspired by Dr Brene Brown's book of the same name) is a podcast that explores personal development and mental health. In addition to cultivating a safe space for vulnerability, our mission is to provide practical tips, insights, and inspiration to help our community lead a healthier and more fulfilling life.In each episode, we dive deep into topics such as positive psychology, personal growth, mindfulness, and community development. We also feature interviews with experts, thought leaders, and everyday people who are making a difference in their communities.What makes Daring Greatly Podcast unique  is our ideology that personal development does not only depend on the achievement of one's goals and desires, but also depends on the well-being of one's community.Support the show

In this episode, I share tools we can use to be better at consciously and intentionally directing our behaviour towards accomplishing our goals.Daring Greatly Podcast Socials:Twitter: https://twitter.com/DaringGreatlyPCInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/daringmediaza/daringmediaza@gmail.com Tshepo Mantje's Socials:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tshepomantje/tshepomantje@gmail.com

“The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize that the situation is over, you cannot move forward.” (Steve Maraboli). In this episode I am joined by poet and fellow podcaster, Linathi Makanda, and we talk about the importance and practice of letting go. Many of us hold on to situations, relationships, emotions, and even identity markers that no longer serve us. Whether we do this consciously or otherwise, either way, holding on to these sets us back in many ways. Linathi and I share our own experiences and struggles with letting go; and share practices that have helped us with the process of letting go. Like Beyonce says, "Thank God I found the good in goodbye."Enjoy the episode.Linathi's Socials and links:Instagram: https://instagram.com/linathimakandaTwitter: https://twitter.com/linathimakandaAnd That's The Chat Podcast's IG: https://instagram.com/andthatsthechatLinathi's website: https://linathimakanda.com/Daring Greatly Podcast Socials:Twitter: https://twitter.com/DaringGreatlyPCInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/daringmediaza/daringmediaza@gmail.comTshepo Mantje's Socials:Twitter: https://twitter.com/TshepoMantjeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tshepomantje/tshepomantje@gmail.com

"Choose to grow where you are planted." What? How? Realising fully that the present moment is all there ever is - that where you are right now is where you're meant to be - and accepting that, is one of the biggest challenges of the human experience (at least of my human experience). In this episode, I share my personal journal entry, where I ponder the experience of the tree in an attempt to learn from its transcendent expression. Thank you for listening.Daring Greatly Podcast Socials:Twitter: https://twitter.com/DaringGreatlyPCInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/daringmediaza/daringmediaza@gmail.com Tshepo Mantje's Socials:Twitter: https://twitter.com/TshepoMantjeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tshepomantje/tshepomantje@gmail.com

"A personal manifesto is a declaration of your core values and beliefs, what you stand for, and how you intend to live your life. It functions both as a statement of principles and as a call to action." (Marelisa Fabrega). In this short episode, I share my own personal manifesto. In creating this manifesto I meditated on what values I want to stand for, and how I want to show up for myself, and for the people and spaces around me on a daily basis. I wrote this personal manifesto with the intention of re-reading it every morning as a part of my morning routine, and a way to remind myself of who I am and what I wish to stand for everyday. My hope is that this inspires you to reflect on your own values and beliefs, and if you are so inclined, write out your own personal manifesto (or use this one), to remind yourself daily of the journey you wish to walk. I love you. Thank you for your patience and support. 

In this episode I am joined by yogi and founder of Move In Awe, Sbu Breathe. Sbu shares his introduction to, and journey with yoga, and the work he does to ensure that more people, especially African youths, are exposed to the practice. Put simply, yoga is a practice that involves movement, meditation, and breathing techniques to promote mental and physical well-being, and to connect one to a deeper sense of self. I say "put simply" because an arrangement of letters cannot encapsulate what this ancient practice has to offer. One ought to practice to fully comprehend. Through Move In Awe, Sbu aims to create inclusive, diverse, and tranquil spaces where beginners and experienced yogis can practice and experience the benefits of this beautiful practice.

Experiencing mental health challenges in the workplace may lead to decreased productivity, increased sick-related absenteeism, poor work quality,  and poor job satisfaction. Despite research showing that mental health challenges affect a large population of the work force, workplaces and corporate culture is yet to fully acknowledge its role in creating spaces that are supportive and inclusive of people with mental health challenges. A more proactive approach for managing mental health in the workplace is a strategic imperative for employers. In this episode I am joined by Lethabo Sekele to talk about Mental Health in the Workplace. Lethabo is the Chief Executive at Workwell Workplace Mental Health - They equip organisations to creatively formulate strategies in the workplace to identify, understand and respond to employee mental health needs and challenges. Lethabo shares with us her experience, and the work she does in educating and empowering organisations.

Self-sabotage is when we actively or passively take steps to prevent ourselves from reaching our goals. Simply put, it is the different ways we stand in our own path. In this episode, I am joined by the host of the Vybe Podcast, Busi Mhlotshazana. B* and I take a deep dive into what Self Sebotage is; the many ways it can present in our lives; and how we can identify our triggers and change our behaviour to be more empowering rather than self sabotaging.The Vybe Podcast: https://linktr.ee/Vybe.podcast Busi's Twitter: https://twitter.com/Busisiiwe_M/Busi's Instagram: https://instagram.com/busisiiwe_m/Podcast Socials:Twitter: https://twitter.com/DaringGreatlyPCInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/daringmediaza/daringmediaza@gmail.com Tshepo Mantje's Socials:Twitter: https://twitter.com/TshepoMantjeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tshepomantje/tshepomantje@gmail.com

Daring Greatly Podcast is back! Thank you for you support and patience during our break. In this episode I share a journal entry where I am reflecting on how Covid-19 has affected my family and I, the lessons I've learnt in the process, and how I intend to live my life going forward.

In this episode I am joined by Siseko Kumalo, who is an academic, published writer, PhD candidate at the University of Pretoria, and the former editor-in-chief at the Journal of Decolonising Disciplines. Kumalo joins me for a conversation on decolonisation. For many decades, Africa's identity had been determined, through oppressive techniques, by eurocentric ideals. In the past couple of decades, there has been a concentrated effort to address these injustices of the past, and from there, re-establish the African identity. As a new generation takes center stage, be it politically, commercially, or as parents, we are presented with the opportunity to take part in reconstructing the African identity. The intention of this episode is to bring clarity to what is meant by decolonisation, and what roles there are to play in this endeavour.Siseko Kumalo's Information:Twitter: http://twitter.com/KumaloProf Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/prof_kumalo/Siseko's Academic Information: https://up-za.academia.edu/SisekoKumalo/CurriculumVitaeSiseko's TED Talk on Decolonisation of Education: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrSEmFumT0g&ab_channel=UniversityofPretoriaPodcast Socials:Twitter: https://twitter.com/DaringGreatlyPCInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/daringmediaza/daringmediaza@gmail.com Tshepo Mantje's Socials:Twitter: https://twitter.com/TshepoMantjeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tshepomantje/tshepomantje@gmail.com

In this episode I am joined by content creator and Youtuber, Bokang Lehlokoe to talk about creativity as a form of expression. Drawing on her experiences as a graduate from AFDA and running her own Youtube channel, The B Word, Bokang shares valuable insights on the creative journey and how she has grown through its challenges. In our conversation we talk about taking up space, trusting your voice, representation, the creative process, and dealing with failure and perfectionism.

Financial wellness refers to the “overall financial health of an individual” - which, overall, contributes to holistic wellness. In this episode, I am joined by finance graduate and banker, Leago Papo. We disceuss what financial wellness is, and further discuss important aspects of financial well-being: budgeting, saving, and debt. There aren't many spaces created for intentional learning about financial matters outside formal financial studies. The intention of this episode is to hold space for those who would like information on how to handle money mindfully.Enjoy the episode.Guest InformationLeago's Podcast: Financial Matters with Leago - https://open.spotify.com/show/09plB6PuKMBRFVNzCudc7c?si=2lmp8FIVRMamRlSeFMY1xwTwitter: https://twitter.com/LeagoPapoInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/leago.papo/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leago-papo-a7915217a/Podcast Socials:Twitter: https://twitter.com/DaringGreatlyPCInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/daringmediaza/daringmediaza@gmail.com Tshepo Mantje's Socials:Twitter: https://twitter.com/TshepoMantjeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tshepomantje/tshepomantje@gmail.com

"Intention is more than wishful thinking—it’s willful direction. It is a philosophy of the heart put into practice, a consistency of conscious patterns of thought, energy, and action. Through intention, we see more and create with more clarity, passion, and authenticity. Our attention then becomes a spotlight for every shred of supporting evidence that we’re on the right path.” - Jennifer Williamson. In this episode I am joined by mental health activist and blog writter, Sihle Ngqawana. Sihle talks about the importance of setting intentions. She explains the difference between setting goals and setting intentions; and how, through practicing presence, we can live out our intentions to lead us in the direction of what we wish to achieve.

More often than not we find that, actually doing the task is not the difficult part. The difficult part is getting ourselves to start and to working consistently. We find that we are the ones who stand in our own way - even though we do want to complete the task and succeed. Why is this? It is Internal Resistance. It manifests in many different ways - procrastination, distraction, lack of motivation, self-doubt - but essentially, it is our brain's attempt to keep us in our comfort zone because of fear. In this episode, I go into practical ways you can get out of your own way and start taking steps towards achieving your goals.

Let's reflect on the year that was. However, considering the challenges of the year - the perspective this episode takes is that of gratitude. Research in Positive Psychology has found that gratitude and happiness are always strongly correlated. Gratitude moves people to experience more positive emotions, to thoroughly enjoy the good experiences, better their health, face adversity, and develop and maintain relationships of strength, which in turn makes you happier. In this episode I have invited dear friends to share with us what, in spite of the challenges of 2020, they are most grateful for. My intention is to create space for gratitude. My hope is that as we recognize our own blessings, hopefully you listening will notice the good in your own life and we can exit 2020 a little bit happier. Enjoy the episode.“There is a calmness to a life lived in gratitude, a quiet joy.” — Ralph H.

Ntokozo, a mental health activist and researcher, and I take a deep dive into the construction of masculinity and the ways in which it informs men's experiences of mental health. In masculine culture, mental health struggles are often ridiculed, resulting in feelings of isolation and disconnection by men who find themselves confronted by mental health. These feelings may find manifestation in the man in many different ways, most of which may be toxic to himself or to society. Our intention in this episode is to hold space to engage with mental health within masculine/male culture, draw on our own experiences to flesh out the problematic and often suffocating nature of masculinity, and to brainstorm any solutions that can liberate masculinity from its own bounds.Guest: Ntokozo MbokaziInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ifindntokozo/Podcast Socials:Twitter: https://twitter.com/DaringGreatlyPCInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/daringmediaza/daringmediaza@gmail.com Tshepo Mantje's Socials:Twitter: https://twitter.com/TshepoMantjeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tshepomantje/tshepomantje@gmail.com

As someone who intentionally engages with mental health issues, I have developed an unrealistic expectation for myself: to always be good. It often feels re-enforced by people who depend on me for one or other reason: "If you aren't good, what's going to happen to us?" When times of difficulty come, it feels like this should not be happening; like "I should know better". But the reality of things is that sometimes it gets difficult for all of us. In the midst of these emotions, I decided to journal. In this episode is that entry. Enjoy the episode.Podcast Socials:Twitter: https://twitter.com/DaringGreatlyPCInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/daringmediaza/daringmediaza@gmail.com Tshepo Mantje's Socials:Twitter: https://twitter.com/TshepoMantjeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tshepomantje/tshepomantje@gmail.com

Many of us live lives of quiet desperation - deferring our dreams and being limited by our fears and insecurities - stopping ourselves from expressing our unique gifts or our special talents. Additionally, in a world that seems to be full of expression, it can often feel impossible to get one's voice heard. In this episode I am joined by Nondu Lehutso, a content creator and podcaster, who shares her perspective on how she cultivates the courage to unapologetically take up space and do so while being herself. Nondu shares what it took to find her voice and how she continues to speak not only for herself, but also for the communities she is a part of. Enjoy the episode.

In positive psychology, a flow state, also known as being in the zone (or as the kids say, being in your bag) is the mental state in which a person performing an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity. In essence, flow is characterized by the complete absorption in what one does. In this episode I share 4 aspects of flow that you can work on in order to access the flow state on demand. From this episode you will understand more about flow and be more creative, productive and improve your quality of life. Enjoy the episode.

In this episode Sihle and I tackle Chapter 5, Mind the Gap: Cultivating Change and Closing the Disengagement Divide, and Chapter 6, Disruptive Engagement: Daring to Rehumanize Education and Work, of Dr Brene Brown's book Daring Greatly. Sihle and I talk about the value gap between who we are and the people who aspire to be, and how to be that in the present moment. Dr. Brene Brown writes about the importance of understanding one's culture in order to have it cultivate one's growth. Sihle asks me questions from Chapter 5 to help me better understand the my values and culture. And as we conclude this Book Club Series, Sihle and I reflect on the entire book and all the lessons we have taken from Dr Brene Brown's teachings. And we end the episode by sharing how we will be DARING GREATLY going forward.

We have all found ways to protect ourselves against vulnerability. We all build walls around ourselves to keep the bad out, not realizing that all that does is to close us in. Dr Brene Brown says, "to live with courage, purpose, and connection - to be a person whom we long to be - we must be vulnerable", we must break down these walls and allow ourselves to be seen. Sihle and I discuss what Dr Brene Brown says in this chapter, that there are three common forms of shielding we use to protect ourselves: Foreboding Joy; Perfectionism; and Numbing. We also discuss the methods she says we can use to Dare Greatly and work towards taking off the armor or breaking down our walls. Enjoy the episode.

Dr Brene Brown says "Shame derives its power from being unspeakable ... If we cultivate enough awareness about shame to name it and speak to it, we've basically cut it off at the knees." In this episode Sihle and I take a deep dive into shame, as described by Dr Brene Brown in her book Daring Greatly. Sihle and I share our personal experiences of shame, and how this chapter has given us insight into understanding the structure of shame, how it manifests and how we can deal with it. We also explore how shame takes root and manifests differently in men and women. It was a difficult episode to record, however the learning experience was allowing ourselves to be vulnerable with you. We hope you enjoy the episode.

For many of us allowing ourselves to be vulnerable is a task we do not want to undertake. Mainly because we have come to understand vulnerability as a "bad thing" or a weakness. Failing to realise that vulnerability is neither good nor bad, rather it is the birthplace for all emotions - the starting point to feeling love, joy, and belonging. In this episode Sihle and I discuss Chapter 2 of Dr Brene Brown's book, Daring Greatly where she debunks 4 myths we've come to believe about vulnerability which have stopped us from creating real connections.

When experiencing uncertainty it can often feel like we have no control over anything in our lives. This is because the future that we are working towards seems undetermined. This can cause feelings of overwhelming worry or anxiety. In this episode I discuss a way you can reclaim some control back in your life - by controlling the only thing we have a lot of right now: TIME. By creating and following a daily routine, success is no longer in the uncertain distant future, but rather success is attainable every daily. Excellence is achieved only through patient perseverance. In this episode learn how to create and follow your own daily routine.“The most efficient way to live reasonably is every morning to make a plan of one’s day and every night to examine the results obtained.” - Alexis Carrel Podcast Socials:Twitter: https://twitter.com/DaringGreatlyPCInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/daringmediaza/daringmediaza@gmail.com Tshepo Mantje's Socials:Twitter: https://twitter.com/TshepoMantjeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tshepomantje/tshepomantje@gmail.com

Earth is all we have. It is about time we realise that and learn ways to take care of it. We can all play our part. In this episode, we are joined by Environmental Rights Activist and Environmental Content Producer, Chelsea Ogilvie, who shares her journey of becoming an environmental activist, her views on our response to the environmental crisis, and more importantly, what active role we ought to play in taking care of our home planet.“It is our collective and individual responsibility … to preserve and tend to the world in which we all live.” —Dalai LamaChelsea's Instagram Account: https://www.instagram.com/noah.for.now/Podcast Socials:Twitter: https://twitter.com/DaringGreatlyPCInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/daringmediaza/daringmediaza@gmail.com Tshepo Mantje's Socials:Twitter: https://twitter.com/TshepoMantjeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tshepomantje/tshepomantje@gmail.com

In this episode, Sihle and I go into Chapter 1 of Dr Brene Brown's book Daring Greatly where she talks about how our society has been built on the idea of people not being enough due to a culture of scarcity. Sihle and I breakdown how our society is built on shame, and how viewing this problem through a lens of vulnerability may be the answer. And how Dr Brene Brown says we can analyse our environments and see whether they perpetuate scarcity or allow us to be fully expressive and fully seen.

We will not talk about 2020 without reference to the agent that changed the course of human history, the Coronavirus. It is inevitable that we will not come out of this pandemic the same. However - Who will we be? What lessons are we taking from this experience and everything that has led us to this point? In this Episode, I share my thoughts on the virus, and what I believe is the responsibility we ought to take in getting here, and furthermore, what lessons we ought to learn in moving forward.

Welcome to the Daring Book Club.
