My Audio Journal by Pamela Mtanga

Hello, you! This week's journal entry I'm 'On the Couch' to talk about a recent realisation that has reframed everything for me: "Life is not about happiness, but rather the pursuit of it." This episode is for anyone who is currently in that "pursuit" and feeling weighed down. I'm opening up my own journal to discuss the three big storms that can make u...

Hello, you! This week, we're taking a pitstop with a global icon, and it’s a ride you won’t want to end. I’m in the car with the one and only Nasty C for a drive that’s all about the next chapter, and he’s holding nothing back. We get right into the heart of his new journey as a completely independent artist, a move that takes immense courage and a clear vision. He opens up about what it trul...

 Hello, you! In this week's journal entry, I’m joined by a woman who doesn’t just preach authenticity, she embodies it. The incredible Lebo Lion sits down with me to talk about the single most important tool in her arsenal: audacity. It’s a conversation that will change the way you see yourself and your potential. We explore her game-changing concept of having an "audacity budget",...

Hello, you! This week's journal entry is a question: What if women turned their vulnerability into a superpower? To help me unpack this, I'm joined by an artist who has mastered turning her experiences into the music we all love, the incredible Shekhinah. In this intimate chat, Shekhinah opens up about her creative process, explaining how music is her therapy and a mirror that often refl...

Hello, you! Ever wonder what it really takes to make it in the media industry? This week, I'm getting the answers from one of the hardest-working people I know, the incredible Zanele Potelwa. Zanele graciously opens up her playbook, sharing the exact steps and mindset that took her from a university student with a different dream to a multi-platform media powerhouse. We break down her top 3 r...

Hello, you! In this entry, I'm kicking off my Women’s Month takeover in partnership with Brutal Fruit by taking a seat at The Pink Table: a celebration of sisterhood, softness, and women showing up as their most authentic selves. I’m joined by Oyisa Matebese and Tebby Leburu for an intimate conversation unpacking what The Pink Table truly represents: the beauty of women gathering, the power o...

Hello, you! Welcome back to My Audio Journal. In this entry, I’m switching things up with our very first Pitstop Edition. I pick up Boity Thulo in the sleek Omoda C9 and drive her to a meeting with Omoda, where she’s an official ambassador. Along the way, we chat about her journey from small-town beginnings to music stardom, her collaboration with rapper Roiii, and how she’s balancing business, br...

Hello, you! Welcome back to my Audio Journal. In this entry, I'm thinking about one of the most special, and sometimes complicated things we navigate as we get older: friendship. When we're young, friendships can feel effortless. But as life begins and we start building careers, finding love, and juggling new responsibilities, the dynamics change. The connections that once felt easy now...

Hello, you! Welcome back to My Audio Journal. In this entry, I’m taking it back to the beginning—those awkward, uncertain early career moments where every room feels unfamiliar and every opportunity feels just out of reach. But it’s in those exact moments that the groundwork for everything is laid. I reflect on the things I did (and still do) that helped me build my career: staying late, introduci...

Hello, you! Welcome back to my Audio Journal.  In this entry, I want to talk about something many of us have a deep connection to: cars. Growing up, the ultimate symbol of success was a German car. Whether it was a GTI, a BMW, or a Merc, seeing one in the neighbourhood meant someone had truly 'made it.' It was a tangible representation of wealth and aspiration that was ingrained in us. B...

Hello, you! Welcome to My Audio Journal. Very rarely do I reflect on my journey, because I am more concerned about where I’m going rather than where I’ve been. However, I find that in order to appreciate my journey more, connect with people who care deeply about the work that I do, and never lose the hunger I have for my work, perhaps the origin story is just as significant to share. With everythi...

Born from the reality that adulthood comes with no manual, the podcast explores the often-unspoken complexities of modern life through a lens that goes beyond what’s typically expected from a voice rooted in media and fashion. Each episode creates space for curiosity, reflection, and conversation around themes li...
