Life With Zee
A few years ago, I was a freshly minted graduate with a passionate desire to create something impactful. However, I was at a loss as to how to actualize this aspiration. Fast forward to the present day, and I find myself immersed in the dynamic field of marketing, traversing South Africa in pursuit of my professional endeavors. The wealth of experiences and encounters that I have had the privilege of engaging in have been nothing short of extraordinary, leaving me awe-struck! Unfortunately, I have noticed that in modern times, trivial metrics such as social media follower counts have become the primary factor in determining who has the right ‘influence’ to share their stories with a wider audience. If you ask me, I’d say it’s BS and doing a great disservice to our community. So, I embarked on this adventure to create a podcast that would serve as a platform to showcase the fascinating stories and insights from a diverse range of personalities, such as business founders, influencers, content creators, corporate executives, PhD candidates, and more.Consider this podcast as an invitation to a quick coffee chat with me, where you get to tap into a wealth of inspiring stories, reflective narratives, and invaluable tips. Now, sit back, relax and enjoy a snack as we embark on this journey! —————Like the show? Feel free to buy a cup of tea to support https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Lifewithzee

EP 23 Barbara Moagi: Forbes, Finalist & Following God's Purpose
Featured in Forbes Africa, presenting at the DSTV Purple Carpet Content Creator Awards and gracing the Miss SA stage as part of the Top 30, Barbara Moagi DOES IT ALL and she sits down for a chat to tell me more about her endeavours. Now, I have to admit, this was probably one of my favourite episodes to record AND we had to do it twice because the first time the audio corrupted- SO you know this one has a good purpose!
We sit down to chat about:
- Her journey as being part of the Top30 of Miss SA 2023
- Her massive shift from studying Engineering to Digital Marketing
- What it was like being featured in Forbes at the young age of 18
- What she has learnt from being stuck, trying to impress other people and finally breaking free, stepping into her beautiful, bold personality!
Between the giggles we get real about protecting your brand as a content creator, aligning your path and actions with God’s purpose for your life and what advice she has for other people who deal with imposter syndrome and people pleasing.
I truly hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did recording it (both times)!
