Her Chapter

This week on Her Chapter, we sat down with Dr Zanie. She walked us through her journey into dentistry, from the early decision to pursue it, to eventually opening her own practice. What stood out most was how she's living in a season she always believed she would have, and how intentional she's been about creating space for more women in her industry to thrive, which is part of what led her to co-...

In this episode of Her Chapter, we sit down with Prudie, a Public Relations professional whose work sits at an unexpected intersection: brand strategy and end-of-life care. Prudie works for Nyaradzo Group, which is celebrating 25 years this year. We talk about how the company has built its identity around being Sahwira Mukuru, a lifelong friend, and how that philosophy shapes the personal, human t...

This week on Her Chapter, we sat down with Chenge for a conversation that covered so much ground. We talked about wellness and what it actually looks like to build a life that supports you, the power of conversation as part of that wellness journey, parenting, and how hard (and worth it) it is to make new friends as an adult. We got into pivoting in careers, choosing community over competition, an...

This week on Her Chapter, we're talking farming and finding your footing. Sharon's story is one of full-circle living: from working in the humanitarian sector to building a life in agribusiness back home in Zimbabwe. We talked about what it really means to move abroad and then choose to come back, and how those two chapters shaped who she is now. She got real with us about the highs and lows of fa...

This week on Her Chapter, we sit down with Aunty Tari, whose PhD research in Zimbabwe is doing something few are brave enough to do — looking closely at death, dying, and how community (Ubuntu) shapes the way we care for one another at the end of life. We had the conversation we so often avoid in African households and culture — death — and why that silence costs us more than we realise. In this e...

Money & legacy don't always feel like the same conversation, until you realise they are. This week on Her Chapter, Fadzie and I sat down with Josh, a lawyer from Fresh Legal Perspectives in Zimbabwe, for a conversation we've genuinely been needing to have: estate planning. If you're like us, "will" and "trust" might sound like words for people much older, much richer, or much more "sorted" tha...

This episode is different, because for the first time, we're not just talking about home, we're actually here. Fadzie and Musa sit down in Zimbabwe to open Season 3, reflecting on what "home" really means when you've built a life somewhere else. There's something about being back on this soil, hearing the sounds, seeing familiar faces, that shifts a conversation. So this one goes there: the nostal...

And just like that, Season 2 is a wrap. In this finale episode, Fadzie and Musa sit down to look back on everything that Season 2 was. The guests. The conversations. The moments that surprised them. The moments that moved them. This season brought voices into the Her Chapter space for the first time, and with them came a depth and honesty that neither of us could have scripted. Episode after episo...

What happens when you finally land the job you worked for and then realise it's costing you more than you expected to pay? Tendai, known as Tales by TSO, is a communications professional, writer, and mother of two. And in this episode, she gets really honest about a decision that a lot of women think about but very few say out loud — stepping away from a dream job because something had to give. Af...

If you watched The Polygamist and couldn't stop thinking about it, this episode is for you. Because we couldn't either. Fadzie, Musa and Dr Awino Okech a Professor of Feminist and Security Studies in the Department of Politics and International Studies sat down to unpack one of the most talked-about series on Netflix right now and we went beyond the drama. We got into the themes, the questions it...

Some journeys to purpose are straight lines. Tracey's was not. Wrong grades. The wrong university. Starting over. Graduating and still not finding her footing. Years working in a role that didn't feel like hers. And then, finally a sense of direction. And the courage to build something of her own. She opened her business in the middle of a pandemic. But when you listen to Tracey's story, you'll un...

Healing isn't a moment. It's a becoming. MisFay joins us this week for a conversation about what it really means to choose yourself — to sit with a therapist and unpack the parts of you that you'd been carrying quietly, to grow through the discomfort instead of around it, and to come out the other side softer, but stronger. This episode isn't about what ended. It's about everything that began afte...

This week on Her Chapter, we sat down with Tinto — host of The Feeling Station — to talk about what happens when you hold space for people's heartbreak long enough to see the patterns. We got into how it started, the episodes that stayed with her long after the mic went off, and the patterns she keeps hearing in breakup stories — the ones that make you realise heartbreak has a language we all spea...

What do you do when you lose your job, your husband loses his job, and you've got a child to care for and a pile of debt? Rumbi could have stayed stuck. Instead, she got to work. In this episode, she takes us through the real, unglamorous version of the financial reset, paying off debt slowly, learning to budget when money feels tight, and eventually building the kind of financial confidence that...

This week, Fadzie and Musa sat down with Pastor Danny for a conversation on faith, religion, culture and marriage. We talked about his journey into ministry, the real challenges of building a church from the ground up, and what it actually takes to lay a solid foundation in your relationship — communication, trust, and the willingness to do the hard work before the hard seasons hit. Whether you're...

Some conversations take years to be ready for. This is the most personal episode I've ever recorded. And I don't say that lightly. I sat down with my mother. We talked about motherhood, sacrifice, love — and the things time has quietly helped us understand about each other. My mother has never shared her story publicly. Not once. In this conversation, she talks about what happens when the man you...

Her Chapter is a podcast exploring the different seasons of life — the questions, the growth, the shifts, and the becoming. Through honest, reflective conversations with guests from all walks of life, we unpack what it really means to navigate identity, relationships, purpose, and everything in between. This season, we’re expanding the conversation — inviting voices that bring new perspective, ten...

In this episode, Fadzie shares her experience of living with anxiety, opening up about what it’s really felt like and how it has shaped the way she moves through the world. We talk about why conversations around mental health matter, especially in communities where it’s often kept quiet or misunderstood. We also reflect on what it means to truly show up for a friend going through a difficult time,...

In this episode Fadzie and Musa talk about their journey with faith and religion. They talk honestly about being outside of the church, the tension between culture and religion, and how easily the two can become intertwined without us even realising. It’s a conversation about unlearning, redefining, and choosing what faith looks like for you in this chapter. This episode makes space for doubt, cur...

In this episode, Fadzie and Musa explore the relationships that hold us in between everything else — friendship. We talk about what it really means to be a friend, not just when it’s easy, but when it requires honesty, patience, and showing up consistently. We reflect on female friendships — the depth, the safety, the complexity. We ask the question that many people have opinions on: can a woman h...

What does motherhood look like through a child’s eyes? In this special episode of Her Chapter, Fadzie sits down with her daughter for a heartfelt and honest conversation about their relationship. Through a series of thoughtful and sometimes surprising questions, they explore how her daughter perceives Fadzie as a mother, the things she loves most about her, and what it’s really like growing up tog...

What does a mother look like through her son’s eyes? In this special Her Chapter episode, Fadzie sits down with her son for a candid and heartwarming Q&A about their relationship. Her son shares how he sees his mum — the things he appreciates, the moments that stand out, and what it’s like having her as his mother. Fadzie, in turn, opens up about the experience of raising a son, the lessons sh...

In this episode of Her Chapter, Fadzie and Musa talk about something that shapes so many of our decisions — money. We unpack investing and what it means to think long-term. Money within relationships — transparency, trust, and the question many women quietly ask… should your partner know about your emergency fund? We talk about black tax, the responsibility that can come with supporting family, an...

In this episode of Her Chapter, Fadzie and Musa sit with something deeply personal - our bodies. We talk honestly about how we feel about them. How that feeling has changed over the years. How social media shapes what we think we should look like. And the quiet pressure to “snap back” — as if our bodies are elastic and not living, breathing evidence of everything we’ve carried. We speak about choo...

In this episode of Her Chapter, Fadzie and Musa step into a conversation many of us are having - dating, marriage, and what it really takes to build something that lasts. We talk about cross-cultural relationships and the beauty and tension that can come with loving someone shaped by a different language, family system, or worldview. We touch on therapy, not as a last resort, but as a tool. And we...
