How things changed

Our family is growing and we have learnt so much about each other as individuals in our marriage and as parents. Together with our children, we have created wonderful memories, rituals and traditions that are unique to our family. It's been beautiful and it has been a rocky transition of self to integrate into the sum of parts. Cozy up and tune in as we discuss some of the things we have learnt and what makes us who we are over a cuppa and @bakersbiscuits

[@biancasenyarelo8169]

One thing I love about this couple, is how they use their marriage and family to glorify the kingdom of God. What a beautiful family.

The day I get into a relationship, trust me I’ll be the best boyfriend in the world and that’s because of the personal work I’ve done and became aware of because of this channel

[@redeemablesoul]

Brendon is so wise. Mpoomy is so wholesome i learn alot from these two.

[@kiwigirl359]

Yay the convos with Mr and Mrs Ledwaba are back 🎉🎉❤

[@Anele_Gcabashe]

I didn’t realise how I miss our love journey until I listened to this 🥺❤️

[@leratotika892]

I felt the same way listening to this conversation

[@Itebogeng414]

😭😭😭💀💔me too. I feel robbed even lol

[@sangienombembe7035]

One thing about Mpoomy, you will never walk away from listening to what she has to say empty handed. You come heavy hearted and walk away with something that will carry you and empower you to want to become a better version of yourself. I appreciate the time you gift us with and share with us ❤

[@lifewithmissmolly9771]

One thing that stood out for me is that having a spiritual identity givies you a great sense of identity and being secure ❤❤

[@NNV103]

Mrs Ledwaba u are blessed-your husband has innate WISDOM!!! Thank you for bringing him to the channel 🙏🏽

[@lindomhlungu8158]

Loved this so much. I'm walking away with: 1.Having a family project 2. Have a meal at the table 3. Take walks together. Thank you.❤

[@sekao_fiona4190]

When Brenden said ‘you wake up super early’ I immediately thought of Proverbs 31:15 (NIV). And Brenden is soo wise- we missed you on our screens. Thoroughly enjoyed this conversation😊 God bless you 🫶🏿

[@tebogomolefe]

"Having a hobby outside of reality" ❤

[@nwabisamatiyela3442]

I relate to what Brenden said about being a passenger in your own life

[@siba92]

This is exactly how I'm feeling right now... Im so out of touch with my own life. 😑

[@eyethumfazwe]

​@@siba92 I feel the same way, especially staying at home in your late twenties 😩 I'm trusting God though through it all. I'll be praying for you

[@tebatsomajane5430]

Really love conversations with Brenden. He is wise and we share the same sentiments. Good talk ✨👏🏾

[@AyisheMolefe]

Hey Mpoomy, I think what can help with the language this is something my parent's did for us when we were little. When they are more acquainted with Brendon's home language you could choose a day of the week where only that language is spoken. So similar to what people do when transitioning to a plant based diet ( Meat Free Mondays), you could have a day where there's no english. It would probably be a challenge at first but with time I'm sure the kids would get the hang of speaking and thinking in that language. Also, books will definitely help so it could be on days when you've chosen to stay in and read with the kids.

[@MpoomyLedwaba]

Thank you so much for sharing, we will consider that

[@paballobutelezi5532]

Thank you for sharing, I am also in the same boat as I speak Sesotho, indoda speaks Afrikaans and we taught children that we speak English in our home, so now we staying in Cape Town and my son is exposed to Isixhosa at school and it's a 3rd additional language. Language issue is a real thing 😂

[@anesusara4794]

Taking the advice for my family too.... thank you for sharing

[@ntombyi]

True this, my kids' Nguni is definitely improving since we kind of enforced this method to them. Immediately when they get in the car from school, we speak Zulu n Xhosa, which has helped a lot. Yes bayabheda n funny how they speak it but the muscle is developing 😂

[@mbalenhlemiyen5139]

Thank u also try this,I'm Zulu and Hubby is Tsonga so we have been speaking English for 12 years and I'm in the process of teaching my daughter's Zulu

[@ntaolengtsotetsi9771]

We love some Brenden wisdom, I'm glad he is back .

[@LeeSerage]

Brenden articulates himself so well. He doesn’t say a lot but you hear him loud and clear. 🤌🏽

[@seh1759]

The natural beauty of the convo & in audible fire sounds on a background 👌

[@finance-talk]

The two of you together= ease and beautiful conversations. I never get tired or bored of listening

[@shilohmubanga]

I want my kids to grow up with options but being able to have the character to say no 🙌🙌

[@connieramontsho7022]

You are an amazing couple! The fact that you hold such deep conversations show how compatible you are and how whole you are as individuals

[@missp1730]

Funza Lushaka teaching bursary now covers for teachers who wanna do art!!! Yaaayyy

[@ephphatha7269]

Also think it’s a beautiful thing to introduce instruments to children like piano or violin, it really develops a child’s brain.

[@sadimashiane7458]

The wisdom Brendan oozes wow and ofcoz Mpoomy the best gifted . Literally you are Wisdom & Knowledge ( Vutlharhi & Vutivi- my kids names ) I love you guys

[@tinotendamakova5563]

[@dadaidzvairo9198]

Indeed there is a pride that comes with speaking your language,,proud Shona

[@lifewithmissmolly9771]

My favorite couple is back ❤❤missed you guys so much

[@langelihleconco]

You guys are incredible . 🤩 Thank you for the amazing podcast 🥰🥰🥰

[@Lelo_Mahlaba]

I absolutely love love these kind of conversations. My fiance and I have found ourselves having to literally sit down and openly talk about things we thought were "normal" growing up and make a decision to not carry them into our marriage and household. Your point about spirituality is key for me as well. A family needs to know their stronghold cause that just gives fruit to every other aspect of life. I enjoyed this one, thanks guys!

[@nothandomthupha4745]

It's so heart warming to see young people who are so self aware and are intentional about communication. I'm older than them but its only now where im finding myself and realizing all the toxicity i allowed and also put others through

[@nosikurosie6904]

God knows how much I looooooove you Mpoomy.❤ You inspire and have taught me Sooo much, now let me watch this goodness'❤

[@MpoomyLedwaba]

Enjoy❤️🤗🥰

[@ontlametsetirelo4146]

Brendan is wise ohh. ❤ You guys complement each other so well ❤❤❤

[@nomsa06]

Just the other day I was I hoping for one of these and look, won’t God do it 😮🎉❤. A Mpoomy and Brendan conversation is always fascinating 🔥.

[@tebogolegodi1174]

Doing nothing and being bored is my favourite thing to do!! The best ideas and gems come to mind when I am busy doing nothing

[@lesh1986]

I wish I could take a long conversation like this with my husband without him feeling intimidated by a smart woman

[@LethoHali]

😂

[@nazikay1340]

Bangbora when they expect to be above on everything 😢Mpoomy is lucky

[@thulzm416]

if he you think he feels intimidated, then unfortunately you married the wrong person, because it means every time you're with him, then you have to numb yourself down to be a person you're not, and that's not a healthy marriage

[@lesh1986]

@@nazikay1340 Mpoomy is lucky,most men dont come to a point where Bredon is and it doesnt mean they are not good men.its a lot to handle an opinionated smart woman.I really applaud him.i also applaud Mpoomi,she knows how to communicate with her husband,not overpowering him.love it

[@tshegotams4546]

Are you sure it’s about being a smart woman

[@SiviweK]

I just love how they communicate as a couple ❤❤❤

[@tsholofetsomanana5411]

I totally get you Mrs. Mom, my husband is also so chilled and laid back - that time nna ke batla structure and planning and knowing what the next step is😅😂... At the same time I appreciate his outlook and chilled persona at times because I get to intentionally chill instead of being busy all the time. Thank you guys for this video, I missed seeing you both❤

[@thabomatsime3139]

❤❤We love you Mr and Mrs Ledwaba! God bless you more (Ephesians 1v3)

[@preciousgemini5293]

So much hey❤

[@Faithfully_Faith]

Many thanks for this, a great reminder to return to what’s important with our relationship. My daughter is now 15 and I have allowed us to lose so many of our family traditions like Sunday roast, going to church, one meal a day at the dinner table and reading. Thank you.

[@MpoomyLedwaba]

You are welcome, one step at a time

[@MathiBhengu]

You guys are one of my favourite couple. You are such beautiful human beings and I love your authenticity, your love for God, each other and your family ❤️

[@trudyraito5412]

Oh my word! Brandon! The Language! Language! Language! I had to leave Cape Town because I felt like a foreigner for not being able to speak Setswana everyday.

[@tivamilemasilela3963]

Seeing this combination makes me smile and my heart jumps ❤️❤️😭❤️❤️❤️

[@nickykapenda1949]

Tradition integration is real and serious thing. I love how Myles munroe said, marriage is not the coming together of two families but the creation of a third family from the two. Not necessarily throwing our culture and traditions but also creating our own culture and traditions. That's how I love it when Mpoomy says leave and cleave by not carrying all of your family tradition into the marriage. Interesting topic I must say.

[@mbalim6018]

Such a wise and powerful couple. May God continue to bless your union ❤ #LoveLivesHere #HealthyMarriage #Wisdom

[@Auctavia]

I love how each of you compliment one another's personalities.

[@mrmanq9517]

This level of maturity and level headedness and having traditions🙌

[@itumelengg5814]

This was so fruitful 🥹 Brenden needs to be behind the camera more often, i didn’t realize how much I missed listening to the tow of you until this video. Thank you for your wisdom, may God continue to bless you abundantly as you bless us with your wisdom and content 😊🤍

[@Cousin_Bee]

I love how both of you guys listen and actually hear each other's views. It's not just passive❤️❤️

[@Jubileerivombo1]

Just as I had a dream of uncle uncle Brendon. It's great to see him on camera again. He is super wise and well-spoken Please also bring back the singing together

[@lizzypekane1447]

FINALLY an episode with Brendan - I love you guys together so much. Please can we get more of this!

I enjoyed watching this so much. Love from Namibia 🇳🇦 ❤️

"Not everything has to be attached to a goal, success, or achievement". I like that. Just be and breathe. Take a break and allow yourself to be bored.

[@laurreinmaritz9142]

No everything has to be attached to a goal or future! ❤ What a beautiful conversation 🙏🏽 So much to learn 🙌

[@thomasrockson5824]

We had missed u so much on the channel Mr Brendon..The wisdom 🔥🔥 is beyond exceptional..Perfect couple..🎉🥳

[@NeneShabangu]

So happy my fav couple is back. I love how different you are and yet so much compatible and you allow the other to be themselves even if it means you disagree to agree ❤❤❤

[@lihlencongwane]

I'm turning 22 next month, and as a young woman I love to see such inspirational stories and I love that you're a young couple, and that you're rooted in God❤. I also love that you're from different backgrounds and u came together and you're making it work.😊 Branden u are being biased though, u can't leave the teaching for the grandparents cause if u don't know Sepulani now, who will u turn to when you're a grandpa??😅 Anyway I love you guys, can we feature the kids in the next video I miss them😊. I also really love the idea of sitting at a table no phones, no tv because its rather difficult to enforce in a black family😢

[@sibahlem2829]

I love the following family traditions and will apply them too: 1. Spiritual development. 2. Eating at the table at least one meal. 3. Learning to Read. 4. Family project. 5. Carve out Play time for balance. 6. Visiting family members.

Taking a walk together or a drive works for us yeah❤

I love what Brenden said about language. It hit home for me.

I dont even know what to say anymore. I just love how Mpoomy and Brenden articulate their visions 🥺😍

Thank you Tennis, for sponsor this wise powerful couple, they are an inspiration to the marriage and family union of today. Going to buy my Tennis rusks today.The Ledwabas, may the Lord continue to bind you together with His love 🙏

[@gloryrichy]

I’ve missed hearing from you both🥰 Listen to the podcast already…now I’m here to watch the video. Great conversation always🙌🏼

[@NduwaSiachaba]

Never a dull moment with you two! First of all you were both deeply missed and I am glad Mrs moms mentioned how you guys are in a different season! Which most of us try and hold instead of embracing every season of your/our lives without judgment or guilt! This conversation was very informative and reminded me of the book the light we carry by Michelle Obama when she mentioned how her mother's mother had a family tradition where they'd always come to the glass table together during meals but however the kids weren't allowed to speak a single word! And how exciting Michelle's mom felt when the table was broken! And I took perception from it when Brenden mentioned how important it is to have a family tradition of having meals together as a family on one table! A table of freedom, authenticity,love, healthiness and ofcourse catch ups which most of us didn't have coz that table was just meant for food only and no single conversation! This installment made me revisit my childhood too and how I'd want to unlearn certain things and create a healthy environment for my family! Thanks you guys❤️. Lots of Love!

[@tsireledzoliphadzi9937]

One of the ways to help with language is to assign language to a specific individual. What my parents do with my nephew is this: My mom speaks Venda to my nephew and my dad speaks English with him. So when he goes to his Grandmom he then switch to Venda and when he goes to my dad he speaks English. It is challenging at first but it gets better with practice..

[@HopeMakola]

I really love seeing the more mature you guys from where you guys where as parents while you where pregnant with Nuri to who you are NOW beautiful to watch you guys grow from your different seasons.

[@simangelemakhunga8724]

Wow totally loved,learnt a lot &enjoyed this so much❤️

I know this is out of the context of this video but hey, I saw Papa Brendan just on Friday at Birchwood hotel He even performed one of my favorite songs 😭As a Promath student I'm happy to say that he did us justice with his energy .

Better together, love you two fam ❤🙏

[@Cindy_Ledwaba]

Reading culture is key 💯 start them young with letter sounding of vowels and consonants and picture Reading and then move to word parting eventually they child will be able to read written sounds and actually comprehend what they are reading. Fake reading a book multiple times does help with sound recognition so eventually the children will end up reading the written sounds, as a teacher I see it all the time.

[@noxxiekheswa8273]

Always so great seeing the 2 of u..always so impactful and real..love it!🎉

[@thandekangwenya1869]

You are always so exceptional, I totally enjoyed. I love you sooo much ❤❤❤❤❤

[@kearam2012]

I really felt a lot inclined 2 wat Brandon spoke about allowing kids to play also not restricting them. With a bigger goal of allowing them to be disciplined or rather disciplining themselves. Weirdly it resonates with me & I didn't think there's sm1 else who has the same belief. I like u guys💝

[@fundiswathomas6941]

I have been relistening to the old videos, I guess we really missed him. I am always learning from you guys, lol and I’ve been relearning from the old ones also. Love and light to him, hope he gets his groove back. I appreciate and love you guys🙏🏾🫶🏾

[@Kamogelo_PhD]

The conversation around language is so important for our generation because our kids interact with tv and youtube more than they do with other people unless you are a screen-free family. My daughter was fluent in Sepedi until she started watching youtube more often and has now switched to English. Coupled with her school being in an English medium, it is dominating. We definitely need to be intentional in teaching them and preserving our native languages. It starts with us as adults exposing them to our languages. We take it for granted how early exposure for us made it possible for us to retain and improve on our home languages especially when we grew up going to English schools. It definitely is about the environment and community. We definitely need content creators creating online shows for our kids in different languages. that would be a game changer in helping out kids become multilingual. Thank you for this session. We've missed having you guys both on the screen.

[@Carolrocs]

You are absolutely right. This is a gap that needs to be filled in the content space. I'm even thinking of getting the grandparents involved actually. Keep them busy by teaching the kids and even myseour native language

[@nandembuke1836]

Brendon is really a head.. soo much wisdom!

This conversation just encouraged me to pray harder for my future husband, because indeed our backgrounds and experiences have a huge impact in building a home with someone. Also just remembered a verse in Genesis 2:18 where God said I’ll make Adam a helper that is like him for him🙏 (Umsizi onjengaye).
