The Other Side of Sacrifice

The Other Side of Sacrifice7. Sept.20 Min.

<p>Shudu was graduating — and she had a lot to say about it.In this deeply personal solo episode, she reflects on what it took to get to the other side of sacrifice: the promises she made to herself as a child, the survival mode that followed her to New York, and the 20-minute conversation she had with herself in the kitchen that changed everything. She traces the journey from a PPE degree in South Africa, to winning Miss South Africa, to studying at the university she dreamed about at age 8 — and asks the question she couldn&#39;t answer: when has life actually disappointed you?This episode was recorded before her production break to practice what she preaches. Because you can&#39;t pour from an empty cup, and sometimes the bravest thing you can do is rest.If you&#39;ve ever focused so hard on the 10% going wrong that you forgot to look at the 90% going right — this one is for you.</p>
