Send us Fan Mail Covid-19 has impacted all of us over the last 2 years and a bit. For the first time in our lives, we've been subject to lockdowns, mandates, border restrictions, vaccines.. and everyone has an opinion about it. It has polarised us and this polarisation has impacted our relationships.  So what do you do when someone you love or respect has an opinion that differs wildly from y...

Send us Fan Mail For today's episode we are trying something a bit different! Every week, the Empower with Mihi podcast instagram page receives messages from listeners asking for specific advice but I've realised that most of the time, the queries I'm getting are appliacble to many of us, so every month I will do an advice column-esque style episode with listener queries where I  wi...

Send us Fan Mail Do you have a friendship that you've been unsure about for a little while… but you've been suppressing that feeling because you don't know how to handle it, and it's easier to pretend that everything is all good when you know for a fact it's not… It sounds like you could be outgrowing the friendship, babe. Let's talk about it. Let's chat on INSTA...

Send us Fan Mail Life is full of the good and the bad - and as much as we wish it could be always good and never bad, life doesn't work that way.

Let's talk about it. In this episode, I think back to t...

Send us Fan Mail Are you really easy going or are you just bad at asserting your boundaries?

Send us Fan Mail Is it just me, or do we all kind of know we need to be more assertive but we are sometimes hesitant about asserting ourselves because it's not necessarily well received on the other end?

Send us Fan Mail "Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."

In this episode, we unpack this well known phrase with some real life examples and discuss how putting...
