#GEP Episode 009: Toothache, no more E-tolls and Restaurant Bread

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1449307/open_sms] Ever found yourself negotiating with friends over who owes what? I playfully propose a foot race to settle debt in this episode, making for a refreshing take on financial interactions. But it's not all fun and games; I also tackle the serious implications of the government's decision to scrap e-tolls, a victory for motorists that comes with its own set of challenges. As I share my own experiences with the eToll system, I delve into the public's resistance and the government's struggle to fund road infrastructure, making for a conversation as dynamic as the roads we travel. Then, I get personal, opening up about a recent battle with toothache pain that gave me a whole new level of empathy for anyone who's faced this agony. With an appointment looming, I muse on the importance of oral health and the surprising ways a toothache can throw a wrench into the works of daily life. It's an episode filled with both lighthearted laughs and empathetic insights, and whether you're a toothache veteran or a dental dilettante, you're sure to find a story that resonates with your own life.  Restaurant bread - a culinary delight! Freshly baked, warm, and inviting, it's more than just a side. Restaurant bread is a treasure that deserves our appreciation and food stores need to add them on their shelves - indulge and enjoy! Join me for a journey from the fast lane of our freeways to the vulnerable moments in a dentist's chair—it's an episode you won't want to miss.

#GEP Episode 008: Love is NOT blind and New year resolutions

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1449307/open_sms] Welcome back to the Get Equipped Podcast, where I spill the beans on my life's latest plot twists, including saying "I do" to the love of my life. This isn't your run-of-the-mill catch-up; I'm baring it all, from the trials of organising a weeding to the triumphs of  marital harmony. With the new year still fresh, our tradition of setting resolutions takes center stage. Imagine crafting goals that not only propel personal growth but also fortify the foundations of a life shared. That's what my partner and I do, and I'm thrilled to let you in on the bonding that keeps our love evolving. This episode isn't just about personal revelations; it's a journey through life's inevitable shifts. Remember the carefree spontaneity of your university days? We talk about transitioning from that to the structured world of adulting, where responsibilities loom and hobbies like binging "Love is Blind" become the unexpected bonding base in a relationship. And speaking of reality TV, we don't hold back on dissecting the love triangles and wedding drama that have us all yelling at our screens. These stories aren't just entertainment; they're a looking glass into the complexities of love and the real-life lessons we can extract from them. As we wrap up, I send you off with a weekend blessing, hoping to inspire you to be that beacon of light in someone's life. It's all about the ripple effect of kindness, and I'm here to remind you that your actions carry weight in this world. So, as you step into the upcoming week, take a piece of this conversation with you—may it be the courage to face your own transitions or the joy of shared laughter over reality TV plot twists. Let's make this life a beautiful journey together, one episode at a time. Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1449307/support] Instagram: @GepWeb

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1449307/open_sms] HELLOOOOO, Happy women's month to y'all beautiful ladies out there. Today marks the last episode of our Women's month series - which has been a pure pleasure. Today is episode 4 (and last) of our 'LE MOIS DE LA FEMME SERIES' and who better to talk about women than... Another WOMAN ? So, today we are joined by LIZETTE TSHOWA, a Monash University Alumna. Public Health graduate, she now works in her field of study. She refers to herself as "the BAG", as she is one involved in many activities. I know her as a poet and writer. On the pod, we discussed women's month and their place in society. She gave a different perspective to women's place in society as she brought up the fact that some women are part of the reason why women do not thrive - due to self esteem issues, intimidation and things of the sort. We then spoke about culture appropriation as well as the lack of accent consistency in us, foreigners - as English is not necessarily the first language to most of us. Moreover, we discussed her love and passion for POETRY - an amazing poet she is. She even went as far as writing a poem for us.. well, not just one but TWO poems. Additionally, in the complaint section, we spoke about NEPOTISM, a concept that divides the masses - for or against? It is indeed hard to say! Furthermore, she spoke about a business she co-founded: Public Health en Afrique. As previously mentioned, I recently got engaged, so we spent a few minutes talking about How I Met My Fiancée, and so much more.  Make sure you check out her socials:  * Instagram: @PoemsandCollectives   * website: www.poemsandcollectives.com We hope you enjoyed 'LE MOIS DE LA FEMME' series as well as this episode.

Marketing graduate, she now works for a communication company and travels A LOT - the dream. On the pod, we discussed women's month and their place in society. So far,  to be quite frank, she's the one who has provided me with the best definition of FEMINISM - at least in my opinion, her definition of the concept was easily understandable. We then tackled a topic that is dear to men: should me be 'allowed' to cry more? Further, we spent quite a to of time discussing her passion for travelling; she's been to sooooooo many places, therefore it was a pleasure to have her on the pod talk about her various experiences, as a traveller. As I have done with all the guests so far, we spoke about the Tinder Swindler - but this time, South Africa's very own Tinder Swindler, lol. Moreover, much to my surprise, she opened up about her passion for Formula 1 - yes, women are into that too (beautiful).
