vlog 67. Day In The Life of an Advocate: Simple Day in Chambers + What's In My Bag | Loyiso Makapela
Happy Women's Day! I was going to upload this on Sunday, but I thought to surprise my lovely ladies and drop a vlog today. #Advocate #dayinmylife #southafricanyoutuber
I hope you enjoy this vlog, it was a simple and mundane day in chambers for me. I feel it is important to show you guys these mundane days as well, not all these exciting or frantic days without showing the normal days too (if there is such a thing as normal in this job, LOL!!!)
I also just wanted us all to take a moment to reflect on what it means to be a woman in modern day South Africa, and how much of that is owed to the brave women who marched to the Union Buildings on this day all those decades ago: what did those women dream for their lives? what goals did they wish they could achieve? who did they envision their highest selves as being? Think about how much you would have had to give up or live without if you were a woman in those times, and then express all the gratitude you can that you live in this time. Please also take time to say thank you to them, and make a solemn vow to live your life (be that in your personal, spiritual or professional life) in honour of their lives.
I am so deeply honoured to have this incredible community of women who are as driven, intelligent, creative, full of joy, cultured and free-spirited as I have amongst the subscribers of my UA-cam channel.
You guys inspire me to be better and do better each day, and I am grateful for every single one of you. Really I am.
See you soon,
Loyiso

Переглядів 1,7 тис.5 місяців тому
My 60th vlog!! I can't think of a more apt vlog to upload than one of me moving offices and starting afresh for the first time in 5 years. There's always this internal resistance to change that washes over me whenever major changes occur in my life. I used to go into full on stress-induced panic/anxiety mode, unsure of what the future held, unsure whether or not I'd made the right decision, uns...

Переглядів 1,9 тис.5 місяців тому
All work and no play makes Jack (or Loyiso) and dull boy (or girl). This is certainly true for most of us in our demanding fields of work. We get so consumed by all the stressors and day to day deadlines, meetings, deliverables, invoices and everything in between, that we forget (or in certain instances, refuse) to let our hair down and live a little. And by that I do not mean the mere consumpt...

What my day looks like as an Advocate (or Barrister if you're from other countries/jurisdictions within the Commonwealth).

This is a video where I fill my cup first: by taking care of and beautifying myself, and then by boosting my serotonin by spending quality time with my friends and my family. The rest of our year is usually spent giving ourselves to everything else but ourselves, and while it is all usually fulfilling, it sometimes mean that our self-care and time off can take a backseat. If you've been watchin...

2023 was a very tough year for me in every way imaginable. There was grief, depression, burn out, anxiety, confusion, sadness and all of their friends. There was also joy, happiness, peace, calm, acceptance, surrender, love and hope. It felt as though every day was getting worse and simultaneously getting better. I failed more times than I succeeded. A whirlwind of a year is putting it mildly. ...
