The cleaning lady at work commented on my body once, saying I should go to the gym (which I already was). I immediately told her she needed to go eat because she was too skinny. I told her that she maybe should try the gym since she liked talking about it so much. 🙊 It felt like an ugly thing to say but she deserved it. She never body shamed me again.🤣
I discovered this channel about a month ago and am so grateful I did. Shortly after, I took a social media break to focus on my master's dissertation, as I was struggling to balance school and work and guess what, I’m here everyday catching up with y’all.. Even though I've never commented , I've watched over 10 episodes and feel such a connection to all of you. Ursula, I especially love your energy - you feel like a soul sister! I've found a virtual family here and feel truly blessed by the insightful conversations. One day, I know I'll meet you all in person. Please come to Botswana - I'd love to host you! Thank you all so much for creating such a wonderful community❤️❤️
Commenting before I finish video. For me, I’m fairly small and I LOVE being told I’ve gained weight. My day gets ruined when someone says I’ve lost weight, “why wehle kanje wena” is something someone said just a week ago and she doesnt know gore I’ve got a condition that affects my weight as well. So when someone mentions it, I’m reminded of my condition.
I got into TCC when I took a social media break because the content just wasn't Millenial friendly anymore. Too much gossip and influencers being shoved onto our timelines. I started from the very 1st episode and have been catching up nicely. Now I am all caught up and subscribed!😉 Great conversations & I think I'm interacting much better with my community and society as a whole because of the awareness raised by the TCC team and your guests.
How gorgeous is the host😊🥰. On the subject of body image, I wonder what the purpose of mentioning one's weight is, cause I mean the first person who realizes they've gained weight, is themselves!!! We can tell that our clothes don't fit well anymore bathong!
Relate to this so much. At two family events that has been the leading question before "how are you"😢. I see us being "sensitive" 1stly YES WE ARE! 2ndly and importantly - can we just have respect for each other? Please can everyone just leave everyone else's body ALONE😮. I agree with the notion that this comment comes from a projection onto the other person of their own insecurities. Can we all just focus on healing from our personal traumas or issues so we don't end up bleeding onto people that did cut us.
I resonate so much with what Ursula is saying. I have bad anxiety especially kadi academics! I would have cramps and literally shake. I dread doing my masters because kena le trauma shame 😅
Loved the episodes and your reactions😂. Love the fact that you can put on your make up so patiently. Ka boiketlo. Thanks for the debrief sessions as well. Di monate di casual.
I think I have the same issue that Given has, but I noticed that I tend to squeeze the pen when I write, I squeeze it even harder when trying to write faster, afterwards my hand becomes very painful, especially the palm of my hand and the knuckle of the finger next to the pinky on my right hand.
Hi, this episode really resonated with me in a big way, I’ve never been skinny but people always tell me how fat I am, but I have a perfect comeback, I would always respond to them, “Ao hle, wena o maswe gore, Askies, r u sick? Ne ke sa bona gore ke wena”
You guys take forever to upload an episode, I have been checking for the past weeks and even stopped because there was nothing new. Today I get 3 episodes I haven't watched 🙃
Hey Ursula it's not only when you gained weight also when you are skinny they also complain you're so thin that's so hurtful some of us it's not easy to gain weight guys also They're even saying You are on drugs or smoking dagga But it is what it is
I've been on both spectrums. I was tiny growing up. My dad's family is all like that. By my mid 20s I started gaining weight. People still comment. I'm 31 I can't still be in my 15 year old body. I put them in their place should they comment, friend, family or stranger.
On the weight issue, I am the skinniest in our office at work, something I never paid attention to for the past 4 years I worked there. This colleague commented on my weight twice in one week, that's when I started being over aware of it but I didn't respond to her because I felt she isn't worth my attention that she is trying so hard to get. But it's not nice commenting on people's weight even on us slender ones, she better not try me again.
I love you guys. Keep up the good work. We are watching, listening, learning and enjoying. Your content is wholesome, y'all have intelligent conversations and are beautiful....❤❤ Ursula, you're so pretty hle.. I love it when you speak Zulu...
Disrespectful? No unless they say something like "you are so stupid since you gained weight." It is however insensitive cos you never know how emotionally resilient or mature a person is... Cos let's be honest, it's rarely a lie rather an unwanted truth.
People should just avoid negatively commenting on other people's personal staff. This includes body weights, people's jobs, bank balance, cars etc. Women are the most body shamers, but men don't talk about it. When the energy is reciprocated kuduma izulu kuqhephuke amatshe🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can I be honest, for the first time in my life I find media personalities that I really love. Guys I am just in love with you all. Kill me but haii ke a le rata
Given, you probably have low muscle tone and your challenges can be addressed by occupational therapy. This challenge i am adressing it with my children.
Ka nako eo nna I want to gain weight so bad🥲being underweight is also not so good. I was once denied access into a bottle store because bare I looked underage, and because I knew I wasn't, I didn't bring any identification for proof. You also find it hard to make friends because your age mates think you're young and the ones a bit younger than you dont necessarily have the same conversations as you, so you clash. Kunzima out here.

We're called sensitive when we find offense on weight gain comments. The older generation is so irritating.
They are projecting abo. Want you to maintain a good weight when it's something they have clearly failed at!
I wish teachers would be taught empathy, they can really destroy a child. Be taught to pick up on not so usual struggles &/ difficulties.

Kopa Given ebe guest hle we miss hearing from him. His such a gem 💎 ✨️ .

I can relate to Ursula I also play cool and regret later why I did not stand up for myself.

Beautiful conversation by the way❤

Look at how Ursula is laughing when they say she is intimating.😂😂😂😂

My favourite channel, a topic very close to my heart, I think I am the first one to comment today. Keep up the good work, much love from Namibia.
I agree with Hlengiwe's comment. ❤
Hey Ursula it's not only when you gained weight also when you are skinny they also complain you're so thin that's so hurtful some of us it's not easy to gain weight guys also
They're even saying You are on drugs or smoking dagga

“Dijo di monate” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

This woman Is naturally beautiful
I Just watch your content to witness your (Ursula) beauty!!!
In life though, I’d rather gain weight than lose.
I agree with the topic suggestion of insecurity and how it affects relationships
Ursula speaking Zulu..."angifuni ngomzimba wam" is funny. I know she can speak it but nje it is funny for me..hahaha!
Oh I see the thing that Given is talking about.
People should just avoid negatively commenting on other people's personal staff. This includes body weights, people's jobs, bank balance, cars etc. Women are the most body shamers, but men don't talk about it. When the energy is reciprocated kuduma izulu kuqhephuke amatshe🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The ending😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bonga is my favorite girl. She's soooo beautiful 😍 ❤ .
Can I be honest, for the first time in my life I find media personalities that I really love. Guys I am just in love with you all. Kill me but haii ke a le rata
Ursula say "hihihi dijo di monate"
Bonga😂 great ending
Hlrngiwe said it all❤
Love your hair 😍
Yho ke tlhaloganya Bonga, nna someone o ntheile yalo ko kantorong ya tiro. I don't like the comments.
Given is married now?
why ?
Given, you probably have low muscle tone and your challenges can be addressed by occupational therapy. This challenge i am adressing it with my children.
🤍🤍
You guys are just stupidly sensitive😂😂😂😂😂😂
