"Joy isn't exclusive to the person who experiences it, we can all tap in to other people's joy..." Wow!!

"In your weakness you realize you're strong"🤝♥️🥺🤞

What BrendenPraise said about joy is true. I now understand what keeps me out of depression. My life is not so great but the people around me are smashing their goals and that makes me genuinely happy .

"Joy isn't exclusive to the person that experiences it,we can all tap into other peoples joy"-Brenden😭❤

At this stage of my life,being married for 5years,not been able to conceive,having a gift /talent(singing), not having a move in it(stuck somewhere)hopeless and helpless,financially on the scale of zero,serving God by all means trying to keep up an image of IT IS WELL and just here Listening to the both of you,my tears just drop so hard and I literally felt the hurt just by listening, I don't know if I make sense but dealing with it all but yeah I think this made me realize that I really need help and want to thank you so much for sharing this..Yours Mozeline Namibia

"She was that... but then also, she was sick." The cough analogy explains it PERFECTLY, Mpoomy 🙌🏽🙌🏽🔥

I can relate with Brendan about the "shouting at you singing in the shower". It's irritability. When you are depressed you get irritable a lot. And it's one of the side effects of some of the medication as well. I'm also battling with MDD and GAD at the moment. Sometimes I just go off about the small things. Thank God for my loving partner that's been with me for 26 years. It's not easy at all.

A Podcast that will touch many souls and generally the youth. Depression is real, as individuals we always put on this mask of happiness. I like what Brenden said about you can be the most happiest person but still be depressed. I relate to those words a lot because I am always happy although the day once the lights switch off, Reality kicks in!!!!! It truly kicks. Suicide is not a selfish decision but a final symptom of depression. I've broken up with 3 girlfriends thus far. Mostly because my mental health is a bit shaky and I became a burden. Life eventually moves on at the end of the day. Give out love and you'll receive love. There is so much love on the planet we live on.

OMG. Thami had the same struggles after idols. It breaks my heart that he didn't make it. I wonder how many other people suffer the same fate after idols or any of these big talent competitions. Something to look into in terms of post "instant fame" support

Who else listened to the podcast and is still here for the video?!🤩💃🏽❤️ I could listen to these two the whole day, everyday!❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank you for sharing your gifts with us!💎❤️ I love it here!🥲

I have to agree with Brenden. Crying is... I almost want to say therapeutic. Lol. It helps. But it shouldn't just end with crying. Talking gives it a final pin to that issue. Yoh thanks for the content guys. You are amazing, may God bless you and your work ♥️🙌🏾

I'm directly affected by mental health issues and your podcast is so real and very helpful to navigate the situation. I listened to it twice and now this will be the third time.. Thank you for explaining your own experiences because they help us understand better 💚💚🌍 I hope everyone I shared the link with listens, the world will be a better place with sharing this kind of content. Kindness and peace ✌🏾🖤

In today's video I really felt Brenden And just how the topic was for him. I really feel he deserves a hats off on how he was willing to be vaunarable in front of us. Really learnt a lot in this video. Continue blessing us with the amazing content 💕

Yoh am so emotional watching this video, i am an advocate for mental health, because I myself suffer with mental health. It's so sad because it's hard to open up about it, and even when you do, people don't understand. They think you are moody, lazy or just crazy. It hurts so bad. Thank you so much guys for this topic❤️❤️ So sorry about your sister Mpoomy❤️❤️

Awww sis Mpoomy 😭😭😭seeing you vulnerable shows how much you are letting us in ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️sending you so much love and hugs to you about your sis💙💙💙💙💙💙

What a great way to begin a Monday ❤❤

I’ve already listened to the Postcast but guess- I’m gonna listen FUTHI 😊 because I need this again and KUMNANDI lana

My best couple. Mpumi how do you manage to always look on point from head to toe. Please give us a video on that.

" joy is not exclusive to the person who experiences it,we can all tap into another person's joy "_ Breden Ledwaba Now that's a whole word 👏

Thank you Mpoomy and Brenden for this video, when you talked about your sister I cried because I can relate to it...I'm diagnosed with depression and anxiety, in matric and its hard...family, friends and the church can be there but they can't understand fully what I'm going through. This video has helped not to feel guilty of what I am experiencing but to accept and heal with the help of God. Thank you guys for pouring your hearts.❤❤❤

Thank you guys. Thank you. Brenden, I applaud you for choosing to share that it's okay for men to cry. As a man who got diagnosed with mild clinical depression & PTSD at 20, I would at times go into my room and cry for an hr. I kept this a secret for so long until I shared with a friend and they told me that it's okay. It's normal. Thank you for being authentic.

Mental health is a silent pandemic honestly . Thanks for sharing guys . Mental health can either break or make a relationship, it requires both parties to be understanding of the other

Money dates. Love that one. Definitely instilling it in our relationship.

Thank you so much for this. Its so relevant with the conversation we're having as a country right now with regards to Riky. Wish the whole country could see and understand this.

Completely off topic but the Solal exfoliation mask does WONDERS for skin😭😭🤞🏾

Wow!!! I tap into my children’s joy and husband’s drive. It really keeps me going ❤️

This topic hit home so bad cause I have mental health issues and everytime I discuss it with my partner half of the time he doesn't get it. And it defeats me cause sometimes I just don't like talking to him cause my issues seems made up to him. And this platform here I think will give him a better understanding of what mental health and awareness is. I am going to urge him to watch it with me later. Thank you guys

Thank you Brenden and Mpoomy for carrying God's vessel so well. You have no idea how much impact you have in our lives. We are taking down notes ♥️

i love how this topic was articulated, i wish somehow my loved ones around me could see this video maybe it could shed some light on their perspective so they have a new perspective, i tried committing suicide earlier this and i ( unfortunately for me) failed, my loved ones still don't get it, i attend psychiatrists, psychologists and take my meds but it's always a thing of "you got help, why are you not okay, you're just negative", i just hope one day my loved ones will get it.

Im so sorry about your Sister Mpoomy. May her soul rest in peace. Thank you for the wisdom you guys share with us each and every week. These are conversations we really need to have.

Honest, self aware, continued growth, vulnerability. You two are wise beyond your years, allowing God to speak through you. What you have to share is so so helpful guys, never take your gift for granted. God bless and keep you always.

I’m you Mpumi. I over prepare, I over work, I don’t know when to stop. I’ve started listening to my body. It’s hard but I really try to slow down and take care of my mental and physical health. I also think my contributing factor is my OCD being a perfectionist is not easy at all. Thank you for this I’ll definitely have a “ financial/ money “ date with my husband

Mpoomy I'm so sorry about your sister. May her soul rest in peace. I have so much respect for both of you showing your vulnerability.....God bless you two.

I am always encouraging my man to cry more, he is a prayer but I feel like crying really does help. Sometimes when he is going through it, he would block tears when he feels them creeping in.

I have mental health conditions and I was actually admitted into a psych clinic beginning of this year. My relationships are often very difficult because anxiety is not an easy diagnosis to live with or understand. I am unpacking it myself. But like... an anxious mind finds it hard to be grateful and have joy in the current moment. It also sucks because men are not always in tune with their own mental health. So maybe if we all get help, stay prayed up, things will come right

Yoh Mpoomy, I'm not coping with this weeks topic. You guys have just hit the nail on the head. So much is happening... death sickness and most of all the root, Mental illness. This week has been particulariy tough and for the first time I'm actively taking the steps to make this right before things fall apart any further. Thanks for speaking truth and for being transparent enough to help others from your own experiences. Sometimes you don't have the words or strength to put what's happening into perspective. hence it feels so impossible to find a solution. thanks for giving so many people hope through this topic

Okay, the 2 dislikes are nonsensical...like for the WHY would you come on this page to dislike the most raw, golden, authentic and uplifting content (which we don't necessarily have to be preview to)????🤷🏾🤷🏾🤷🏾🤷🏾🤷🏾🙆🏾🙆🏾🙆🏾🙆🏾🙆🏾🙆🏾 Anyway, Dankeschön Frau und Herr. Ledwaba for yet another spread of nuggets of wisdom. We appreciate and love you both everyday. May your cup of blessings continue to be overflowing🙏🏾.

I can relate to being in a relationship with a person that had mental health issues and was very suicidal. I tried staying and sticking around but in the end it was like he was harvesting all my energy and I almost got lost in this all. I decided to leave because not only because of the mental health issues the whole relationship became toxic. MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES ARE REAL.

I am in a season in my life where I truly needed to hear this.

Oh wow, this is such a good conversation. The way Mpoomy described mental health. It's truly amazing.

Yohhh thank you guys so much at the moment I'm going through a lot in my marriage an personal , sometimes seems like it's never ending bt I know the truth of God concerning my life...this to shall pass 😭. bless you 👏

This is what I needed to hear about this morning. I am currently frustrated, to an extent that yesterday I took the most difficult to broke up with someone I love just for peace because I can't feel his presence presence while he is around. So I choose to be alone rather.

I love how you guys are so in time. I have made the decision to face accept and get help for my trauma's. I come from a family where we are taught alot of "suppress your emotions" but that only bottles up before you know it you're crazy 💀😂. I plan on being a mother one day by the grace of God and I want to be a sane one! Because there is alot of transparency between me and my fiance we have both agreed to work towards our trauma's at least to an extent where we don't rub off on our kid's. I pray all my siblings will come to the knowledge of this(I have tried talking to them about it, and how we should address our own personal issues, however one feels comfortable, so we can do better for our kid's. But it always ends in me feeling guilty for acknowledging what hurts because they choose not too, and then I beat myself up thinking I have self-pity, then it's a whole mess 💀. I'm scheduled to being my mental health journey this week and honestly I have been feeling like I'm over reacting and I don't need it but this has helped alot your vulnerability will not go in vain at least not by me 💯💯🙏🏾 Bless up

Thank you for this installment. May God help us and give us the strength to help ourselves. It's not easy. It's so exhausting to constantly be in this tug-of-war between pushing forward and just giving in to the pressure and ending it. It's hard, but I'm determined to keep fighting, especially for my baby's sake.

i struggle with PMS/PMDD often and this conversation was so necessary today. thank you guys

I usually don't comment , but this was beyond what I can express gratitude as. It brings joy to my heart to see genuine content that affects everybody . Thank you for this.

We may not comprehend but we can listen and be present in our incomprehension.

I believe that this is God speaking to me. Everything that has been said in the first 10 minutes is an accurate description of my relationship currently. I've felt like giving up so many times because I struggle so much with my mental health, my partner is so supportive but I can see how difficult and draining it is for him. He's the love of my life and I don't want to lose him so I'm actively making positive changes and I'm so grateful to have come across this video. Thank you so much for sharing your life and experience with us, it is helping me 💛

This was really interesting & eye-opening especially because I am living with bipolar depression 2 & this helped a lot 🙏🥺 thank you guys. Continue doing the Lord’s work

Thank you guys. Yeah, I know when I start binge eating ( specifically chocolates) something is up, which I'm working on because I don't like that and I'm changing it.

Yoh Mpumi, got a chance to listen now n it was the right time, coz im going thru some mental illness and i cant explain to my partner😭😭😭. I really thank God for you

Entirely enjoyed this episode, it's exactly what I needed today. ♥️

I understand you Mpoomy about anxiety. I'm struggling with anxiety and overthinking. I honestly don't know how to overcome them.

Thank you for sharing your struggles too because in the age of social media it's so easy for someone to look at your lives as influencers and think you don't have struggles because you are financially stable. Enjoyed this convo

I wish I could like this multiple times. This is definitely in my top 3 episodes by you guys. Powerful 🔥

Crying helps a lot 😭😭😭😭😭. It’s like you surrender and it’s quiet essential to go there so that you can come out of it.

I absolutely loved this topic. My partner suffers from depression and his ups are good and downs just a mess for both of us because I still can't understand how to deal with his downs when they happen, we even have a name for it "the episodes". We really need to support and just be there for our people hey, even strangers❤

You guys were so calm and intimate, this is so genuine, thanks for sharing apart of you guys with all of us

Y'all transparency and level of knowledge on this topic is really admirable, thank you for speaking about this, this is really heavy and I am glad you were able to share your thoughts on this! This really blessed me! Thank you!

I love how open you guys are , this really taught me a lot. Much appreciated 🙏

Mmmh I had to watch this twice cause I really wanted to hear the content/message being transferred and I must say this was therapeutic🤞 these are conversations we should be having in relationships, marriage or friendships.. Thank you for the transparency 💯

For the longest time I’ve avoided the “mental wellness “ topic , it hits home and watching this really helped in some way or the other. Much appreciated.

Brenden is so wise 😍 Thank you guys so much for your content. These videos give me life literally!

My mother always say you can never have enough appreciate what you have especially your health and take care of it seek help, take a break just talk to anyone .... ask for wisdom in all aspect of your life and maatla to persevere I'm sorry for your loss Mpumi

I literally shed a tea t Brenden's coping mechanism, I'm so glad you shared this, I needed to hear all of it.

This was a good talk, loved it. Thank you guys for having such an honest and open discussion about mental health issues.

This is such a serious topic & I appreciate how the both of you understood the depth of it. Sometimes all a guy needs is an ear from his partner without any judgement. I appreciate the both of you. 🙏🏽

I love how real you guys are , these are conversations we need to have in relationships. Happy Monday 😍😍😘

I love how honest you guys are with each other ❤️

This is too powerful. Thank you good people for sharing

The cough analogy is brilliant!

Thanks Mrs Mom and Brendan,I completely enjoyed the conversation, your videos are such a blessing to me and many others .

Thank you for this topic. One that affects many people especially during this pandemic that has taken many jobs, many businesses away and everyone has just been through the most💕

Thank you for this, Just what I needed!! GOD BLESS YOU.

I could listen to the two of you all day!

Great way to start the week❤️❤️🙌🏾

A Word in season @Mpoomy and Brendon especially during this period of the year. Thank you for always sharing yourselves your relationship and love journey is raw and relatable. We love that! Shoutout to all those who have been in a bad space lately but still manage to get through each day despite how hard it may be. This was a beautiful reminder that above anything Mental health is a "illness" if you struggling today seek help, if you in a bad place the least you can do is credit yourself for getting through the days that felt impossible lastly If you in a good space continue to show kindness! Thank you 💚🙂#GodsGotThis

Great work guys. One of the things that I like about you is that you are relatable. In each and every topic you unpack I always feel spoken to and moved. May you keep it up and God bless.

Mmmmuch NEEDED!!!! Thank you guys 🔥🔥🔥🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for this! Kept getting distracted and didn't finish watching until today. I have learnt so much!

I loved that you can be happy & grateful and still be affected by mental health issues.

Thank you so much for this topic, needed to hear this . 🙏🏾

Deep Topic indeed. Mental Health is real. We appreciate you guys sharing and helping us find our truth and deeper understanding of mental health. We have family members that go through this time and time again without realizing it. Love the money date. 😍

I struggled with mental years for the 3 years ,i am happy to say im officially out of the woods .But when u mentioned that @work when you get foot injury u are able to stay at home till you better ,but emotions and burnouts no one can see that .As for me the day i got admitted my senior said to me that he was not suprised coz apparently i was acting up and saying and doing things that did not even make sense,and honestly i dont even recall doing those things.So its a challenge that sometimes we do not see how bad it is ourselves,but when those around us see it and choose to not say anything maybe out of fear or they dont even know how to approach the matter its a problem.This talks are important and thanks for sharing ur stories ,morning runs and walks ,your talks,Free2worship is therapy for me.God bless you family

Shuuu.... 🙌🙌🙌 Thank you Mpoomy and Brenden this matter is so close to home.

This topic made me like you guys so much! thank you for the transparency!

Wow… I’m truly lost for words!😭😭😭Thank you two so much for this!

I have been seeing this podcast for a few days now and did not have the guts to open it. Thought it would be one of those. Instead, is effective because it's personalized and cans see how difficult it as for you as maybe you trying to also not to get too much into your personal life.. One thing I can say is this is one step for me in a direction of introspection... I always felt embarrassed for wanting to be healthy mentally. People around me take it so light even when it's about me. I infact struggle with mental health issues... Thank you for this podcast... It's beautiful

what a great podcast!! Applying your experience and being vulnerable, helps us be more vulnerable. Also ways of alleviating the symptoms. I truly appreciate your vulnerability as it is very hard for me to do, Learning to be more vulnerable.

Thank you so much God is using you, I know this because there is no words you share that come back void.

Thank you so much, this was very insightful and comforting at the same time. I'm currently dealing with healing my body from the harm caused by excess adrenaline and cortisol after life's painful experiences. I thank God each day for understanding the root cause and I now proceed with life being more intentional in achieving peace, joy, harmony.....

I love you, I love you... Thank you so much .. you guys are God sent 🥺 I really needed this... Finally now I know I have to go for that therapy, I have been rescheduling 😌

Out of all the episodes I've watched this is the most educational for me . Thank you for always putting out content that's thought provoking and is always a conversation starter. I'm unsure of where to rate but this definitely gets a 10/10 (5star)

Bathong dumelang and happy beautiful and blessed Monday fam❤♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

I had a very deep depressed stage in my life, and my family thought I was being selfish and lazy, they would say why don't you get up earlier and do something. My mum at some point said your behaviour is giving depression, if you keep waking up late you'll be depressed. What they didn't realise was waking up late wasn't going to give me depression but was already a result of being depressed. African families are really ill equipped to deal with mental health issues

This was such a beautiful conversation. It got me thinking so much and honestly re-evaluation my prayers in such a time.

It's really sad how many people suffer in silence especially because nobody takes the time to understand their hurt and be there for them . A month ago I met this guy, he's so amazing and such a bubbly person,we basically also became great friends it actually felt like we've known each other for years, you'd think he was always happy until he chose to tell me that he was molested by 2 men at the age of 11...honestly it tore me apart but at the same time I appreciated the fact that he chose to trust me to that extent of letting go of the pain and crying to me, I'm happy to share that I can see a change in his behavior he's more bubbly and always says I helped him in a way that he never imagined I could especially because he always spent nights crying himself to sleep and now he's able to sleep because I advised him to open up and tell his mother and that's also the reason why he feels more at ease than previously... Oh and we are now in a relationship and I collected a series of questions that I could ask concerning his battle and allow him to feel the pain in that moment and cry to me whilst he talks and I listen (it's been emotional yet an experience), it's true that men should also cry because we have males battling from mental illness and dying because of it hence I agree that talking does help and having someone who'll be there to actually listen. I'm also on a journey of learning more about mental illness and it's one of the best decisions I've made ♥.THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR STORIES THEY'VE HELPED ME IN MANY WAYS AND ITS ACTUALLY NICE HAVING PEOPLE LIKE YOU GUYS IN MY LIFE,I APPRECIATE THE IMPACT THAT YOUR CHANNEL HAS HAD ON MY LIFE.❣

What a useful and fruitful topic. This topic will ALWAYS be relevant to most of us. Childhood traumas, parental issues (issues we have with our parents) etc. All these affect who we are or who we become. They affect the type of partners we become as well. Anxiety is so common and its so draining

Such an important conversation. Thank you for sharing🙏🙏

You are such a blessing...The rawness cuts deep... We thank the Lord to have sent us this beautiful gift in the form of you... Mpoomy and Brendan...keep the light shining ✨✨✨
