“A toxic job doesn’t just stress you out—it rewires your nervous system.”
That should be motive enough to ask yourself of where you are is challenging to be better or it is a toxic environment that requires you to start calling it what it is “TOXIC”!

This month on B.I.D, I sat down with my first South African guest, , to talk about what it really feels like to work in a toxic environment—and I dare to say one can have joy while you in it. We also go on to talk about how to protect your mental health when quitting isn’t an option just yet.

📌 This isn’t about quitting on impulse.
It’s about being honest with yourself and calling things the way thy are: Toxic not tough!
If your workplace feels more like a survival zone than a place to grow, this one’s for you.

You’re not burned out because you’re weak. You’re burned out because the environment is unsustainable

This one is for the quiet survivors.
The ones who can’t just quit.
Who show up, do the work, and carry the weight in silence.

In this episode of BID I’m joined by my first South African guest and a childhood friend.
We talk surviving toxic work environments—and how to hold on to your joy when leaving isn’t an option.

Stuck doesn’t mean broken.
And you deserve better than survival mode.

Today’s Quote: Not knowing is holy ground — it’s where trust is built.

When life doesn’t make sense, it’s not a failure of faith; it’s the invitation to faith. You don’t need all the answers to walk with confidence — you just need to know Who walks with you.

Happy Monday

Having my mother here right now makes this episode hit a little differently.

The reality of my choices and decisions are consistently confronting me, as I am having to show my mother what I have built for myself far from the nest she provided for me as a child.
I am having to say out loud what the driving forces were and are for my decisions. Explain my reasons for staying because ofcourse mother would rather I come home and we all enjoy the fruit of my labour and share her senior year together (that is a post of its own- the aging element of the parents and family members we leave behind).

Heimweh - german for homesickness. Direct translation is home hurts. I personally like the german word better as it hits the heart of the matter without too much explanation.

This episode is a continuation if you may about my road away from home. I always get asked if I miss home and if I intend to go back. I talk about that and more, so tune in so we can connect and Id love to hear how you are dealing with Heimweh, chasing the dream and the conflicts that come with it. — Chasing Dreams, Missing Home🎙️ We’re talking about the part no one prepares you for — when you’ve moved, started fresh, followed the plan…but still find yourself wondering:“Why does chasing this dream feel heavier than I thought?”Because ambition is powerful — but it comes with a price.Sometimes that price is distance. Loneliness. Questioning if it’s still worth it.If you’ve ever felt torn between where you are and where you came from — if you’ve ever wondered what you’re giving up while going after “more” — this one’s for you.📍Now live on Spotify + all platforms.📲 Link in bio. Let’s break it down with the two greek doctors who thought it was a good idea to leave the mediterranean. Both answer this question if it’s worth it and the answers cause one of them to reconsider. What’s that like and how to process not wanting to pay the price, is it even fair to say that?! Or does she simply pick her family back home? But how do tell the difference that this isn’t for you or giving up on that ambitious idea. 🚨🚨🚨🚨

✨ Sunday Reflection:
In this month’s episode we reflect on how
Some places stretch you.
Others slowly shrink you.
But in the end how can we know when we have found the right place?

In chatting to a few people about this topic it made me realise how many of us stay in places—cities, jobs, relationships—out of fear, not faith and out of connivence not bravery. Forgetting that this life is all we got and when we aren’t brave enough to ask the big bold questions, it will surely pass us by. Then we wonder why we feel exhausted, out of touch with ourselves, or lack that excitement and joy is towards our lives.

In this episode I share my personal journey of navigating purpose, identity, and career across borders. But more than that, it’s a conversation about what it means to finally feel at home in your own life.

💭 It’s not a podcast about travel.
It’s a story about coming home to yourself and purpose.

🎧So take a walk. Make some tea. And BID on finding the answer. Listen with your heart.

From South Africa 🇿🇦 to different parts of europe through language, loss, laughter and lessons — I’ve realised something and I’ve settled on this truth:Joy isn’t about where you live, it’s about why you’re there.In the Season 2 premiere of BID with Dr. Dell Mabunda, I share my journey across continents and identities — navigating belonging, career decisions, and culture shocks — and discovering how purpose shows up differently depending on where you are in the world.✨ This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt out of place, questioned their path, or wrestled with the tension between duty and desire.🎧 Plus, there’s a bonus conversation with a friend who reminds us:“You can’t grow if you’re planted in the wrong soil.”🔗 Tap the link in bio to listen🎙️ Available on Spotify & Apple Podcasts
