5. The Quarter-Life Crisis: What I Learned About Myself and the World at 25

Are you feeling lost, confused, or stuck in your mid-twenties? Do you wonder if you’re on the right path, if you’re making the right choices, or if you’re wasting your potential? If so, you’re not alone. Many people experience a quarter-life crisis, a period of transition and uncertainty that can be both challenging and rewarding.

In this episode, I share my personal story of how I faced my quarter-life crisis and what I learned from it. I talk about how I dealt with self-doubt, anxiety, depression, and loneliness. I also share the insights, lessons, and tips that helped me overcome my struggles and find my purpose, passion, and happiness.

If you’re going through a quarter-life crisis, or if you’re curious about what it’s like, this episode is for you. You’ll discover that you’re not the only one who feels this way and that you can use this experience as an opportunity to grow and transform your life

17. Alone but Not Lonely: Solitude as Therapy

Yes, we know that technology is everywhere and shaping our generation in new, unimagined ways. Yes, we know we should unplug and be less distracted. But there’s another reason we should temper our use of technology: solitude.

It’s hardly surprising that time spent in solitude has diminished due to the rise of our smartphones and social media platforms. And this decrease in solitude has had serious consequences for us. As it turns out, we need solitude — just as much as we need personal relationships — to live healthy and thriving lives. Catch Ndiimanae and Njabulo as they discuss solitude as a form of therapy.

9. ACCESS GRANTED!! : How to raise your Frequency/Vibrations

9. ACCESS GRANTED!! : How to raise your Frequency/Vibrations

This week Ndiimanae gives you access to how to go about raising your vibrations and frequency. When one door closes another door opens, and there is always a way forward, but opportunity and advancement often depend on one thing and that is learning LOVE, love is the primary intent in raising your vibrations. So, how do we raise our frequency? There are numerous things you can do to help yourself raise your frequency, but none of them will work unless you have the intent to learn with Spirit about loving yourself and others.

Our intent is the most powerful tool we have for raising our frequency. There are only two possible intents at any given moment:

  • To learn with God/Spirit about loving yourself and others
  • To protect against your pain and avoid taking responsibility for your feelings.

7. Achieving Clarity (Physical, Spiritual and Mental)

7. Achieving Clarity (Physical, Spiritual and Mental)

This week Ndiimanae touches on clarity!! reflecting on her journey of finding clarity and its importance. "For me the greatest beauty always lies in the greatest clarity. – Gotthold Ephraim Lessing

Have you ever experienced foggy weather? Low visibility and the inability to see what you know exists leaves you feeling lost in the once-familiar, now misty world around you. Not until the sun shines to evaporate the surrounding ground clouds can you really see what is around you?

Fog can creep in on the human psyche too.   Whether physical, mental, or spiritual, a foggy feeling in life is one that wants to leave you with little to no progress, practically stealing the potential love and positive energy that awaits you."

6. "It's Coming together when it's falling apart": A Dive into Spiritual Awakenings

6. "It's Coming together when it's falling apart": A Dive into Spiritual Awakenings

This episode touches on Spiritual awakening, Ndii reflects on her experience with intuition and how important it is is. Going through a spiritual awakening is one of the most confusing, lonely, alienating, but also supremely beautiful experiences in life.

Put simply, spiritual awakenings mark the beginning of your initiation on the spiritual path. Without experiencing a spiritual awakening, we go throughout life pursuing the emptiness of money, fame, power, and respect in an attempt to find “happiness.”

The unsettling and equally beautiful thing about spiritual awakenings is that they occur at the least expected times. There is no way you can plan for them. They lurch into your life and shake everything up like tornadoes. But the hidden gift buried deep within them is that they occur at the precise time that you need them the most.

4. Finding Purpose: Decoding Self-Actualization

4. Finding Purpose: Decoding Self-Actualization


The episode explores the true essence of discovering one's purpose. The conversation sheds light on how the journey of finding one's purpose is one that requires self awareness and introspection for one to meet and become their higher authentic self. Ndiimanae and Lindokuhle reflect on their lived experiences on the resilience it takes to actively search and remain one's purpose when found. Finding purpose is often mistaken for finding the meaning of life but it merely is connecting to our individual calling - the reason for existing. The conversations taps into the concept of self-actualization and the practicality of it's attainability as well as the significance of divine preparedness and wisdom to sustain the blessings of finding purpose . The pathways of knowing your life purpose aren't always clear, knowing your passion does not mean you will receive support from the audience but you must be willing to look and sound crazy in the quest of unravelling that which sets your heart on fire - fulfillment.

It’s Not Goodbye: Final Episode

It’s Not Goodbye: Final Episode

“The year was 2018 I was going through podcasts for the first time I stumbled into “Women Evolve” by Sarah Jakes it inspired me to start my own platform
In which I called The Evolve Talk , the podcast grew independently and highlighted a whole of issues on spirituality, Social, activism and many more other. When I started this platform it was a way for me to get my voice my back. I had went through rape, rejection and persecution the girl in needed to EVOLVE (become her best version). Trust The Evolve Talk was like my therapy room, it took me through my hardest times of depression. I am finally closing the podcast journey indefinitely. I will be working on different other projects like Youth Evolve and my work as a Diversity, Equity Consultancy.” Ndiimanae ❤️
