Coffee with Temmi

This is a cautionary tale for everyone..

Today, I am chatting to a young woman who went through a terrible and traumatic experience at a very young age. She was able to find help to lift this invisible weight off her shoulder but at what cost!

When the people children trust the most - parents, relatives, teachers, leaders - people who are meant to protect them. What happens when those trusted protectors become the very source of harm?

Abuse is not always committed by strangers; too often, it comes from the...

“You’ve heard the saying, ‘beauty is only skin deep.’ Well… the beauty industry has turned that into a multi-billion-dollar reality. We’re talking creams, serums, facials, treatments - each promising the kind of skin that’ll make you feel unstoppable.

But here’s the thing… are we really buying better skin, or are we buying self-esteem? And if confidence has a price tag, what are we actually paying?

Today, I’m looking at the skin industry through the eyes of a skin specialist, Bukky Eyinade, and we’re going to talk about what’s really going on...

I sat down for coffee with Clinical Psychologist, Lola Bade-Aluko to talk about what depression really looks like in adults — how it shows up, how it feels, and why it’s not always easy to spot.

It’s August, and this month is all about women. I’ll be taking time to look at us — our experiences, our stories — through different angles and environments.

“Why am I not married?”

It’s a question so many women have asked—and have been asked—over and over again. It’s gotten to the point where the idea that a woman could actually be happy without a husband isn’t even part of the conversation.

For a lot of women, the thought of never getting married feels scary. Almost like something is wrong if it doesn’t happen.

But here’s something worth asking:

“Do I actually want to be married?”

Not should I be… not when will I be… but do I...

I had a long and productive interview with Clinical Psychologist Kelebongile Lebo Mojanaga-Masilele on the increasing number of children struggling with mental health issues.

The Mental Health Crisis You Can’t See

In this episode, we’re opening up the conversation on children’s mental health.

Why are so many kids struggling? What signs are we missing? And how can we show up better as parents, caregivers, and mentors?

They are carrying things we don’t always notice.

They laugh, they play, they show up—but underneath, many are h...

Let’s talk about virginity.

The word itself simply means untouched, unused — in its raw form. But when we talk about virgins, we’re usually not talking about olive oil or hair. We’re talking about people — specifically, women — and their sexual status.

How far will you go to remain a virgin?

Is there a cost too high? Or is there no cost too high?

🎙️ Fatherhood: Remix

Not your today’s young dad — but the dad you pray for.

All for one and one for all. My guest today is Mlue Maguba. He has embraced the role of fatherhood with passion, purpose, and presence. He’s rewriting the narrative of what it means to be a young father — and doing it with heart.

Insignificant: too small or unimportant to be worth consideration - yet we seems to be consumed with it!

Stretch yourself into joy.

SHE RISES

She walks through fire, yet bears no ash,

With silent strength and steady sash.

The world may bend, the winds may roar,

Still she stands—then rises more.

Her tears are rivers—soft, yet deep,

Where dreams and promises dare sleep.

She weaves her pain into a song,

And sings it bold, and sings it strong.

With hands that heal, with hearts that fight,

She holds the dark, then births the light.

No...

Dance like no one is watching.

There is almost nothing that compares to the freedom of your spirit and body like dance.

The death of reading.

We have murdered sleep.” Not the kind you get at night—but the kind that rests the soul through knowledge, story, and thought. In our chase for quick entertainment and instant gratification, we’ve killed the quiet power of reading. And our minds are no longer at peace.

“You have murdered sleep” Macbeth (Act 2, Scene 2). It symbolizes the killing of peace, innocence, and the conscience itself.

"Something is rotten in the state of Denmark" is a famous line from William Shakespeare's play Hamlet, used to describe a situation where something is wrong or corrupt. It implies that the current state of affairs is not healthy or moral,

To stand on a frozen lake speaks of being consumed by something you desire, so much so that you can’t think logically again.

You look at this object of desire that seems to be just out of reach on a frozen lake.

You think you are fast enough to get it before the ice cracks, but are you that fast?

There is an arrogance in all humans that makes us believe we can schedule our lives the way it suits us, There is no consideration for time.

Give your imagination permission to fly.

Hum your way into happiness.

Being naked isn’t just about nudity—it’s about vulnerability. It’s about stripping away the layers we use to protect ourselves and letting someone see the real us.

This week is even more about you than before.

Relationships can be tricky, especially when you’re young and just starting out. What many don’t realize is that we often step into new relationships carrying emotional baggage from our past—things we might not even see ourselves.

It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement, but it’s so important to take a moment and reflect on what you’re bringing with you.

If you can recognize your own fears, insecurities, and unresolved issues, you’ll have a better chance at building something healthy and lasting. Take it slow, be kind to yourself, a...

Our bodies go through a lot everyday, sometimes we need more than a 10 minutes break.

There comes a time when you need a break - just a moment - it’s time to hit the Pause Button.

Relationships aren’t what they used to be. It’s not just starting a new chapter—it’s like learning an entirely new language while tiptoeing through a minefield.

So, grab your coffee as we unpack this ever-evolving landscape.

There is something so soothing about drawing repetitively with no expectations of excellence, or necessary explanations of finished work.

Reading.

During your Me Moments, find joy in reading.

Walk the stress away.

Walk away from it!

Just walk!

October is Mental Health Awareness Month.

In today’s episode, I am sharing an interview I did some years ago with Clinical Psychologist Maud Bopape, that is still relevant today.

I want to take a moment to talk about mental health—something that’s a part of all of us, even if we don’t always acknowledge it. Our mental well-being shapes how we feel, think, and show up in the world. And the truth is, it’s okay to have days when things feel heavy.
