A Cup of Courage: How Rooibos is Stirring Hope in Breast Cancer Research
In this Real Life Mum The Podcast episode, Mira Naidu sits down with Dr Nicky Verhoog, Senior Lecturer in Biochemistry at Stellenbosch University, to explore groundbreaking research into Rooibos and breast cancer.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and while science is still uncovering the full story, Dr Verhoog’s early findings suggest that Rooibos extracts may help counteract estrogen activity in certain breast cancer cells — an exciting first step for women’s health research right here in South Africa.
They chat about:
💬 How Rooibos interacts with breast cancer cells
💬 Why estrogen plays such a powerful role
💬 What pre-clinical trials in 2026 could reveal
💬 The everyday health benefits of Rooibos beyond cancer
💬 And the importance of awareness, early detection and hope

Real Life Mum interviews the author of The Jellyfish Jiggle, Kayla Diamond
We read The Jellyfish Jiggle and fell in love with this book. Its an under-the-sea picture story book that has lessons of self-acceptance and courage to be who you are no matter what.
The story follows Jules, a young jellyfish who doesn’t quite move the same as all the other jellyfish she knows. She gets discouraged by her differences, loses her lack of self-esteem and finds herself in a sad self-critical bubble. This is, until she meets a very funky and confident Octopus named OctoRockto who teaches her the most important life-lesson she could receive – the ways of self-love and acceptance. Jules and OctoRockto make a great team and share some pretty awesome tips for being proud of exactly who you are, not changing for any one and making all of your quirkiness and differences totally normal.
The Jellyfish Jiggle was written by South African local, Kayla Diamond – author, teacher, kids supporter and mentor, has dedicated her professional career and life to helping future generations of children through inspiring stories that kids (and adults) can relate to. The pictures in this book has been done by Rachel Batislaong and is truly captivating.
Follow Books by Kayla Diamond on social platforms to stay up to date with all things The Jellyfish Jiggle. We’re talking upcoming songs, dance routines, competitions and more!
