   Love, Boundaries and Intimacy: What Healthy Love Really Looks Like A Conversation with Svenja Schumann

   Nobody warned us that love comes with homework. But maybe it should have In this episode, our host Selma Ndasilohenda Iyambo sits down with Svenja Schumann, a psychological counsellor and Imago Relationship Coach in private practice, for a honest and grounding conversation. Before we can talk about what goes wrong in relationships, we need to understand what healthy love actually looks like, and most of us have never been taught. Svenja reminds us that healthy love is not about finding the perfect partner or being perfect yourself. It is about showing up every day, understanding the baggage you both bring to the relationship, and having the curiosity and willingness to do the work together. In this episode we unpack: What healthy love looks like and why so many of us confuse it with endurance Why boundaries are not walls, they are guidelines that keep both partners safe and connected How to set a boundary simply and clearly, even when it feels uncomfortable The three questions to ask yourself to know whether you are in a healthy relationship or whether it is time to seek help Why ongoing consent still matters in long-term relationships How to identify subtle red flags that your boundaries are being ignored or manipulated What to do if you realise you have been shrinking yourself in a relationship and where to begin rebuilding Svenja puts it simply, you are in a healthy relationship when both people feel emotionally and physically safe. Safe enough to be truly yourself, to be honest, to be open, to repair, and to grow. And if that safety does not exist, that is already your answer and can be able to reach out to a psychological councilor or a trusted adult. Whether you are navigating a new connection, deepening an existing relationship, or still figuring out what you actually want from love, his episode is for you. Because healthy love should feel safe, mutual, and respectful. Not confusing. Not painful. And you are not meant to lose yourself in the name of care. Protect your peace, honour your boundaries, and keep talking.

   Episode 08: They’re Not Okay… and Neither Am I — How to Support a Friend Who’s Crashing Out - A conversation with Dr. Byron Böck

   Sometimes the person who’s not okay is someone you deeply care about, and suddenly you’re the one trying to hold everything together without knowing how. In this episode our host Selma Ndasilohenda Iyambo is joined by Dr. Byron Böck, a medical doctor and public health professional, for an honest and practical conversation about what it really means to support a friend in an emotional crisis, especially when you are not in the best emotional space yourself. Through a real-life scenario, this episode explores how someone can appear calm while experiencing serious emotional distress, what steps to take when a friend is overwhelmed or disoriented, and how the principles of psychological first aid; look, listen, and link can guide you in those critical moments. Dr. Böck also speaks about the emotional impact on supporters, the importance of not carrying a crisis alone, and when it is necessary to involve family members, other trusted individuals, or professional and emergency services. This conversation is for the friends, the helpers, and the ones often called “the strong ones.” It is a reminder that showing up for someone you love is meaningful and powerful, but you are not a therapist, not a crisis team, and not meant to carry someone else’s pain on your own. Support should be shared, and you deserve care too.

   Episode 07: “Do I Need Therapy? Knowing When and How to Seek Psychological Support - A conversation with Shasheeda Mberira

   Mental health challenges don’t always show up as dramatic breakdowns. Sometimes, the signs are subtle, persistent anxiety, sadness that lingers, trouble concentrating, changes in sleep or appetite, overworking, or withdrawing from social connections. In this episode, Clinical Psychologist Shasheeda Mberira, a Chevening Scholar and expert in Clinical Psychology and Counselling, guides listeners through these quiet signals and helps them understand when it might be time to seek professional support. Shasheeda emphasises that therapy isn’t just for moments of crisis. It can be a proactive and compassionate act of self-care, providing a safe space to check in, process emotions, and prevent burnout. She explains how to differentiate between temporary stress and indicators that professional support may be needed, what to expect in a first therapy session, and how to approach therapy without fear or stigma. She also shares insight on accessible mental health resources in Namibia, highlighting that taking care of your emotional well-being is essential for everyone, not just those in crisis. Whether you are navigating stress, burnout, or simply want to be more mindful of your mental health, this episode provides practical guidance, reassurance, and a compassionate perspective.
