The First Woman in My Bloodline to Break the Blueprint: Zithobe Macheli on Career, Money & Love

What if becoming the person who gets to live your dream life starts long before the dream actually arrives?Zithobe Macheli has transformed more than one area of her life-from dropping out of university to betting on herself as a content creator, healing her relationship with her skin and body, building her confidence, and ultimately creating a life that once existed only in her imagination.This week, she pulls up a chair at the A2B Café to talk about the inner work behind the outer transformation.We get into self-concept, journalling, shadow work, learning to see yourself differently, taking inspired action and what it really means to become the kind of person capable of building the life you want.Because sometimes the biggest glow-up isn't the life changing around you-it's the person you become along the way.🥂 This episode of According to B is powered by Bernini.✰ TIMESTAMPS✰00:00- Coming up01:46- Intro 04:27- Bokang introduces Zithobe to A2B 05:42- Game: The starter- for the plot16:40- The main: The conversation16:55- Zithobe’s fondest memory that indicated she would become the creative she is today19:29- The significance of the support Zithobe received from her parents 21:28- Zithobe on being the first woman in her bloodline to pursue creativity22:49- Zithobe’s university journey27:13- What happened when Zithobe decided to leave university32:29- Zithobe on reading back her 2020 journals 36:09- How Zithobe closed the gap between where she was vs where she is now38:59- How Zithobe was able to evolve beyond being a beauty creator40:12- The biggest difference between the person who wrote in the journals vs the person living in it41:44- Being the first woman in Zithobe’s lineage to build a 7 figure business43:25- Some of the other work Zithobe does45:31- What Zithobe has had to learn the hard way in business48:12- Zithobe’s relationship with money51:41- Zithobe on what was expected of her when it comes to love56:18- The traditional things vs the non-traditional ones Zithobe believes in59:06- Zithobe’s perspective on whether she wants marriage or not01:00:56- Zithobe’s ideal kind of love01:04:52- What Zithobe hopes future generations will continue to inherit01:06:51- Dessert: Zithobe recieves her Bernini bag 01:07:26- Outro✰ SOCIAL MEDIA ✰Bokang➜ Instagram: @sheisbokang-https://www.instagram.com/sheisbokang ➜ Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sheisbokang  The B Word➜ Instagram: @thebword_za -https://www.instagram.com/thebword_za ➜ Tik Tok: @thebwordza https://www.tiktok.com/@thebword_za Guest➜ Instagram: @zithobemacheli-https://www.instagram.com/zithobemacheli➜Tik Tok: @zithobemacheli-https://www.tiktok.com/@zithobemacheli ✰ BUSINESS INQUIRIES ✰E-mail: hello@thebwordmedia.com ✰ TEAM/CREDITS ✰Producer: Bokang Lehlokoe & Tshegetso Moepi Videography: Shutter ScopePost Production: Thapelo Mogashoa
