This conversation is like one of my usual chats with Unami - a heart to heart where she does most of the listening to start with then starts dropping pearls of wisdom, without even realising. Fact check and trigger warning: I incorrectly said I was 40 with 4 living Grandparents. I did the maths and they all passed away in my late 30s - anyway, they were amazing people, an absolute gift to know them. We talked about grief and other difficult and interesting things… her upbringing in Botswana, studying in Australia, and insights from her work as a psychologist. And we discussed asking for help! And it's more than ok to call a helpline, talk to a trusted friend, make time to work through the tough stuff. If you're affected by any of our stories and conversation, please search out the support services in your country, and don't stop searching if you don't connect with the first few. There's always someone who cares and wants to help. You matter more than you know. You're loved and cared for more than you know. Cheering you on, Kerrie Here's Unami's beautiful introduction - My name is Unami Magwenzi and I am a wife, mother, clinical psychologist, songwriter and an author. I was born and raised in Botswana, Southern Africa. I live in Australia with my family and enjoy photography, writing, meeting new people and learning about different cultures.
