  • Welcome to another heartfelt episode of "Perspective with Itu." In today's impactful conversation, we are honoured to host the remarkable Mona Monyane. Join us as we delve deep into Mona's inspiring journey through life's trials and triumphs.
    Mona Monyane, a renowned actress, takes us on an emotional rollercoaster as she candidly shares her experiences with mental health challenges, the painful journey of divorce, the heart-wrenching loss of her baby Amani at just 7 days old, and the darkest moments where she found herself standing on the edge of despair. Through raw vulnerability, Mona reveals her near brush with suicide during her lowest point.
    However, amidst the shadows, Mona's story is one of resilience and hope. As she emphasizes, healing is not a destination but an ongoing journey. She opens up about her current process of self-discovery and self-improvement, shedding light on her determination to emerge from the depths of darkness as a stronger individual.
    At the heart of this conversation is the theme of mental wellness. Despite life's relentless challenges, Mona Monyane remains steadfast in making her mental well-being a priority. Her courage to confront adversity head-on and her commitment to her own healing journey are both inspiring and empowering.
    Our tagline, "Conversations that matter," rings true in this episode as we tackle vital discussions surrounding mental health, resilience, and the power of self-care. Join us for an eye-opening dialogue that reminds us that even in our darkest moments, there is hope for a brighter tomorrow.

    The interviewer is giving me Ntokozo Mntambo vibes she is calm and beautiful ❤️. What a beautiful interview from Mona I learned a alot as a person who used to self pity alot, she went through alot and somehow moved on continued to be happy in her life ,so why not do the same.

    The most authentic interview i have ever watched, for me growing up without a father has made me strong and dominant in relationships because i had to figure out a lot of things on my own 😑 I want to be soft and submissive but I'm struggling a lot in that regard

    • @itumelengsekhu-pedi
      @itumelengsekhu-pedi  Рік тому +2

      It takes a whole lot of healing to get over such. For me it is the same as well, I’m very dominant but I’m learning day by day to be more “wifey” for a lack of a better word

    “If you really take things for what your spirit tells you they are , you avoid a lot of drama ….”…..I love this so much ……
    We are always in-denial , we force situations, we want a certain family structure so bad that we overlook a lot of important things …we even forget what are dream husbands are ….they it crumbles,we fall into depression

    • @itumelengsekhu-pedi
      @itumelengsekhu-pedi  Рік тому +1

      Eish…this is so true but mostly it’s because we want the perfect life because most of us had broken homes and we end up breaking up our own homes by our deeds because we are broken people. Healing is very important

    She is confident and knows who she is. She is safe and settled in who she is.
    There are things she has said that I do not totally agree with. However, I love the woman she is, and I am excited to see her BE.
    This was a lovely conversation!❤❤❤❤❤

    I appreciate your ability as an interviewer to listen. It's something a lot of interviewers lack, but you allow the guest to tell their story fully and clearly with no fear of interruptions. Well done. It takes time to develop as an interviewer, but you're on the right track. You're doing great!

    Going back to God...that's the journey I have started just recently - The journey of HEALING. I had an ectopic pregnancy in May also lost a fallopian tube in the process. Started therapy, admitted into psychiatric facility in July. Two weeks after coming out, my car got stolen. All of this raising a 7yr old girl that looks up to me in all this mess that I am. In the hope of letting my guard down and allowing a man into my life he suddenly just disappeared. But I believe this is all part of the journey. Thank you Momo! This put everything in perspective for me. It all makes sense now. Love you stacks!

    I've always admired Mona's beauty hle. I don't think before this interview I had seen any interviews from her. I can honestly say you are an AMAZING woman, best storyteller and still a beautiful queen. I have no exact words to describe exactly how this interview touched my core. I've been in a rut for weeks and wanting to give up on life, stop praying because I thought aaaaaiii....God, you're distant and very quiet. Mara after watching this interview my spirit has been awoken and felt reassurance from the God I serve bona. I'm taking a bath, putting on my make-up and going out to celebrate my birthday tomorrow because I was swimming in pity party and had decided I was not going to celebrate my birthday and sulk because God doesn't love me. I have tears in my eyes as I'm typing this because I am very much grateful to have stumbled upon this interview. THANK YOU Itu and THANK YOU Mona. I love and appreciate you ladies, you have no idea what you have done and re-ignited in me. May God continue to bless and cover you and your loved ones. Ngiyabonga kakhulu!!!

    When she spoke about cleaning up after a man, I felt that. I’m stuck in a marriage where I have to clean up after a man. It annoys me so much and honestly I have tried talking to him but it doesn’t make a difference. I’m so annoyed with him all the time. I just wish I could wake up divorced 😢

    • @ladyras
      @ladyras Рік тому

      Cleaning up in terms of the mess in the house or the decisions he makes?

    • @ZuluGirlInNewYork
      @ZuluGirlInNewYork Рік тому +9

      @@ladyras come to think of it, both. The literal mess of his clothes all over as well as bad financial messes. Not even 6 months ago, he resigned from a well paying job and moved to a different company just for a managerial position but the pay is significantly lower than the previous job and it is much further, so more petrol. Of course I don’t mind shared finances but I feel like I’m doing a lot more especially considering that my salary is less. Sorry for the long text, I’m venting.
