“Look at how far you have come, look at how vast you have going, look at who you have become…. Baby you gotta keep going.” ~ Jhené Aiko
And just like that, we close off this season and we appreciate the words to this song that we’ve dance to & sang along across the season.
Thank you so much for tuning in for this season, we appreciate each of you so so much. You can definitely expect more from #YTBB…. and remember you can come back from anything that life throws at you, be gracious with yourself by giving yourself time. Take care of the little things and they’ll ultimately take care of the big things.

Episode 10 - Living unaware of grief impact
In this Episode, Yourstobarebear brings you a special guest by the name of Dr Yolisa Mgobhozi who is a professional counselling phycologist. Azande and Dr Yolisa discuss grief and the impact it can have on one especially when unrecognised or displaced.
This conversation hopes to encourage anyone who may be currently going through a grieving process to recognise grief for what it is and understand the different emotions that it can bring about. Dr Yolisa emphasises that there is life after loss, life waiting for you to live to the fullest. With each grieving individual choosing to find help or accepting support from people around you, healing is a possibility.

Episode 9 - Faith during loss grief
In a season where one has to deal with the difficult feelings of loss & grief, keeping your faith intact can be challenging. Losing someone or something important to you can leave you with so many unanswered questions thus shifting your focus more to the tormenting feelings of pain and suffering.
Faith (The assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen) is the one thing that can contribute positively towards moving you from that place of hurt. Moving in faith can see you through to a place of healing, a place of light and comfort, knowing that things will get better for you.
We hope this Episode can encourage you to take that leap of faith in whatever situation you may be facing, may you remember that God loves you and that He WILL see you through. Just hold on to His promises and what He says about your life.

Episode 4 - The Dynamics of in-laws
In this Episode Azande shares her relationship with her in-laws before and after the loss of her husband. She speaks on the expectations that were placed on her and how she had to stand up for herself and her children to create a space to heal better. How she thought they would try and maintain a good relationship, more especially for the sake of the children, however it didn’t last long because of some difficult decisions that she had made and how uncomfortable it became for them. An additional lesson for her in this was that no matter how hard you may try to please and make people happy, they will always receive you from their own place of understanding. She eventually took the decision of letting them be and trusted God with her journey of raising her kids without their support.
