I look at Amanda Dambuza and think: "man, my future children and future husband deserve the healed and confident version of me!". I have to work hard to be the best woman I have to be.

Top 2 for me right now: Hulisani Ravele and Amanda Dambuza. I mean, wow!!!!!

God gives us the children to look after so that we can release them to the world. It's my responsibility to breathe God into them and when I say breath God into them it's not read the Bible and go to church. It's self love, belive, faith. How you live your life does more preaching than anything. Our children learn more from us by observing. So you need to make sure that your words are congruent. Your words are in alignment with your actions.... Everything that was said is so powerful ❤️

"My only obligation is to God"...my mom taught me this. In the face of pain caused by others, she's always encouraged me to always treat them with respect and extend a hand of generosity to them when I can. It's difficult but doable through Christ who gives us strength ❤

Yey 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 been waiting for this one

''The minute you say life is not perfect, you are already giving yourself an excuse not to try harder'' damn that hit home. Loved this episode.

WHEN U PRAYING FOR A SIGN , AND SUCH VIDEOS POP UP.....Lord thank u....when sexual abuse, emotional abuse and abuse from those who were mean't to protect u happen through them.....Thank u Lord....touchy and motivation. God is the rock of all ages. Every generation will testify and have testified about this Rock. Lord thank u.

Nothing will ever replace authenticity and honesty👌

Let’s talk about that Kimono that Amanda is wearing! Obviously an inspirational message in this interview... picked up a lot that resonated with me. Thanks Mpoomy... you’re definitely shining!

I am one of those women who have a difficult relationship with my mother, and I always get blamed from people around me. Thank you for sharing your story u just validated my feelings. Please do create that support group. Thank you

"I only want to leave people better than I found them" This podcast was an amazing wake up call, it inspired me in ways I cannot explain. Thank you so much

This podcast left me whipping in tears 😭😭😭 thank you queens for such conversation.

I thoroughly enjoyed this. "You can still be a fun loving person even after all the accomplishments." 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿

Yoh I feel Amanda when she says "her dream was just to be older"... That was exactly my dream as a young girl that lost her mom and was abused by her stepmother. I just wanted to grow up and do whatever it is that I wanted. #suzettekeybah

I have watched this video so many times ❤️, I read her book and also watched some of her KZfaq videos and my summary is that sis Amanda is a healer as her story facilitates and guides people to a state of wholeness through faith, prayer and wise counsel 👏🏼👌🏻🙏🏼. I can say the same about you Mpoomy 🙌🏻❤️ Thank you for blessing us with such an amazing interview ❤️🙏🏼

👑👑 Sis Amanda touched on some many aspects of her life that most black girls including myself got to experience but the difference is that she is aware of the foundation and that alone makes me love her for fighting for herself and sanity. Because fighting to be a better person remembering and seeing and trusting God through all those traumas is alone an achievement. Thank you so much sis mpoomy to opening up such platforms with mind awareness conversation ❤

"theres so many layers to traumatic childhood" wow I felt that ❤👏

“When you say life is not perfect you’re already giving yourself excuses...” yesssss

Her calmness at 30:00 onwards is amazing!!!

I am still trying to find the right words to describe how powerful, insightful and meaningful this conversation has been for me! It's honestly taken my level of gratitude to the next level. Perspective truly is everything! 🙌 "My life is perfect with all of the negatives in it" Wow 👏😍 💫 A God ordained life ❤

A few minutes in this and I’m already like yes girl, yesss!!! As much as we need extrinsic motivation, the most important type of motivation is intrinsic and it is vital to be aware of that or else we are forever looking to be validated or cheered for in order to feel able to take on anything. We are able with or without that clap on the back! Be your own cheer and know that God is always our solid rock!

Thank you for having such conversations Queens 🙏🏽💕 "Lift as you rise"

This podcast gave me chills. Thank you ma'am for sharing your story you inspired me. Thank you Mpoomy for having a show like this i would love to have mine one day. Love from Nigeria

I can relate to your story. I also had the same childhood 😭 or upbringing. God was my Parent and even now

Two amazing, beautiful and wise women ❤🥰

This episode left me with a lump in my throat, I regret watching it while I'm at work because right now, I just wanna let the tears run down. Thank you so much for this episode, I really needed to hear it right now.

Im always speechless when it comes to Amanda. But her story really highlights how careful one has to be when making decisions in their lives. The decision you make now can have so much power over your future.

If you haven't read the book please please love yourself and get a copy!

This woman is amazing....My obligation is with God, such profound words.

I cannot wait to get my hands on baked in pain, the story sounds to encouraging and inspiring.

I love this: ‘My obligation is only to God’; such a powerful statement! Amazing women of God, discussions like this glorify our Father. Thank you so much 🙏🏽💕🌺!

I cried watching this. I totally relate to Amanda, We do need a support group for daughters abused by their mothers. Its painful

I don't understand people who disliked this video. Maybe their phones were upside down 😊

I need to buy the book ASAP 😍

Please invite Rorisang Thandekiso next 🥺🥺 you two would make fire

I was driving to work...... got to work was in tears and encouraged😢. Siyabonga sisters

What an inspiration, I'm lost for words. Thank you for this interview Mpoomy , Amanda is a true legend 🙌

After hearing the podcast, we are back to hear this wisdom again and learn from the best.Thank you Mrs. Mom and Mama Amanda Dambuza🤗

What a force. What a lady. What a legend ❤️ so, so, inspiring!

Shuu sis Amanda, this conversation was so great...I could listen to you talk forever. I'm definitely buying the book

I've learnt so much about mentorship, and this has helped me appreciate my mentor more. I think a mentor was kind of forced on me, but I have warmed up to her and now hearing all this, my mentor is so important to me and has always been. I know what I should except from her and her, what from me. Thank you for this. ❤

This comment might be missed but WOW... I can relate to Amanda's story about writing whilst you are still going through the most. It resonates with me and I needed this. Thank you to both of you... God bless you 😊😊😊😇 I also have a History of abuse and as a result "God is all I have!"

Oh how I love Amanda. For me, she's a symbol of joy - not taking yourself too seriously and having fun. A symbol of being graceful in your success and truly of lifting as you rise. Coming across this conversation is at the perfect time in my life. God's timing 🙌 Mphumi, thank you for holding space so supernaturally and for bringing us these moments.

Only 11 minutes into the interview and l am really impressed by the interviewer. Great questions and her wording gives the person being interviewed time to think and respond appropriately. Love it.

John 9:3 “It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him.” 🙌🏿 - testament to Ms Dambuza’s story.

I am happy i broke the shackles of abuse and guilt from people who think they know my trauma and pain my mom caused me. In 2021 i released her and I am ok. I walk around wounded but no longer agrieved or in pain. She is dead to me.

wow Amanda is really breath of hope , she is so inspirational. thank u so much

Samthandi bethuna. Great to have a woman of such caliber to actually say these things that most of us are afraid to say

Her energy after "mother" topic, wow! I felt that in so many ways. I have tears run down by themselves without recognizing my emotions but through hers. May you heal! 🌷🙏 True inspiration!!!

I literally just clapped my hands because this was such a touching topic and the topic of the mother and daughter relationship just gave me so much emotion because I relate to every emotion she described.

A very big hug from Angola 🇦🇴 love this ❤️ thanks 🙏🏽

I didn't know I needed to listen to this Podcast but wow I am shocked how much I related. Thank you ladies

I’ve read her book and I still reread it every once in a while She’s such a beautiful person inside out🥺❤️

I v been stalling watching this. Today I was ready to absorb. Man I love her self-actualised laugh, to me it says iv been through it and now I’m going to enjoy life.

Ohhhh my, throughly enjoyed this. I can relate in soo many ways God is really great😢❤️😭🙏

I just wanted to be older 😔shu! I can so relate!

Excellent interview! The empathy displayed is next level. It was so easy to watch. I love how the host gave Amanda space to speak ❤

Authentic stuff.For me its when she said"the how is my faith"My relationship with God is soo deep and spiritual" I could relate sis.How hardship teaches one to converse with God at a very tender age.

My obligation is to God👏😭

Loved Loved the podcast. Amanda just validate my feelings and built my confidence to the core💕

This was a great interview. Didn't know much about Amanda but I had followed her on Instagram because I loved the energy and how she carried herself.

This has been by far the best. I have so much respect for Amanda wow i have learnt a lot, thank you for this Mpoomy. This video has been amazing

This was a trigger but like Amanda said we learn to live with the triggers. So I needed to hear this. I guess healing is a journey not a destination in my case.

This podcast left me so emotional, I can relate to her 100%. It triggered, taught and inspired me so much. I need the book. Thanks for quality content Mpoomy 🥺♥️

Its the self love for me sis Amanda 😝😆😄 Love yourself like Kanye loves himself

When she mentions the triggers that speaks to me daily when I also look at my kids, the pain is that those triggers when you try and share them with your husband and they just dismiss the pain, it feel like being stabbed over again in the heart. Today I have learnt to go and seek a deeper relationship with God that is within my control. Thanks Sis Amanda and Mpoomy

Thoroughly enjoyed this podcast. Very emotional and enjoyable conversation.Definitely will buy her book❤️

I love this lady Amanda is amazing and a formidable force such black women are needed in society!

An hour felt so short. What a great interview 👏🏽

It's all Gratitude. ❤️ Thank you ladies.

Just discovered Amanda today and I’m hooked! The tone in her delivery of this podcast! Buying the book ASAP

Before anything...Mpoomy's outfit yoh😭

I am loving this conversation. I am going here and getting the wisdom the second time around. I love you ladies Sis Amanda is amazing

I did not know this woman but I'm so amazed at how much I relate to her. I need to get her book. Good job as always Mpoomy 😊

I remember seeing Amanda Dambuza.on top billing.. wow wat a Phenomenal woman 👠💄

I was craving for this episode to be out. Thank you Mpoomy😘😘😘, you are the best

i can so much relate to your story... its okay for a parent to abuse a child but its not okay for the child to talk about... tjoeeee. that was deeep.. i feel you.. even you say, i wish i can tell my story without the sad n abuse part in it... but than if its filtered than its not my story.. am sending you hugs @amanda

Sis Amanda! What a powerhouse. I enjoyed reading baked in pain. This is just as good! 🙌🏽♥️🔥

Amanda u left me better than I was when your conversation started, thank you so much ♥️♥️

Amanda, Amanda, wow! I cried so much watching this conversation. A cry of relief. Wow, you're amazing. Healing is possible. Mpumi, beautiful conversation.

The full podcast 😭🥰🥰🥰🥰

Sis Amanda thank you for this, God is certainly using you♡ I felt that you were speaking to me when you spoke about the journey of writing your book. I'm currently writing a book but I got stuck somewhere, I am not complaining because I know I am currently going through a healing process of my own childhood trauma. I have been beating myself about not completing the book but now I understand. This whole conversation was so liberating and healing. Thank you Mpoomy for the podcast 🙏 ♡♡♡

Willing to lose it all "Amanda Dambuza, your words are confort. As the publishing of my book telling my story seems to be breaking my marriage. At the moment I'm in the wilderness with nothing to hold on to. I'm looking to God but I'm not talking to him. I just am. Always working to get a breakthrough is exhausting.

OMG I love this woman so much 😭😭😂 I only got to know her through this interview and I relate with her so much ! From the childhood to her love for Agriculture and nature...I literally have the same passions. I knew she’s my girl when she said “it’s really not that deep” when Mpoomy asked about her hair. It’s honestly not that deep, I keep my hair short coz I just like it that way😂❤️❤️❤️ Urgh I am buying that book as in like, Right now!!

I have been blessed by this story, this program is amazing and I would love to know her more, thank you for sharing ss. Her story made me research myself as a teen mom and and as a grandmother now. Thank you for sharing 💕💕

Thank you so much for having Aunty Amanda share herself with us. ❤️

Oh this woman challenged me in so many ways. Thank you for the wise words.

So much wisdom here 💛. Thank you Mpumi for introducing me to this queen 👑.

Love so much !

I have a perfect relationship with my mom but this got me very emotional yho!🥺🥺🥺

Thank you Mrs mom for these conversations, they help us find ourselves and grow.

AMAZING!!!

What a phenomenal woman! 🌻 Thank you for this beautiful podcast Mpoomy💕

Yaaay. I am within 😌

Beautiful

I can so relate to the book part wanting to speak about something but because I am going through it at the moment I feel like I can't

I needed this

I love you 😭😭♥️

Your story truly is an inspiration to most of us.. Siyabonga for sharing 👏❤

Glory to God for serving us with your ministry. What a legacy. Thank you Amanda and Mpumy for a wonderful talk.🌹🌹🌹
