In this episode, Amandla Kwinana sits down with the brilliant Dr Samkelisiwe ‘Samke’ Nyamathe to explore the ever-evolving dynamics of women’s friendships. As a medical doctor, public health clinician, and mentor, Dr. Samke brings her unique perspective on why friendships are vital for personal growth, especially for ambitious women navigating their careers and lives.
Dr Samke shares the importance of having friendships that challenge and sharpen you, encouraging growth rather than stagnation. From the innocent bonds of childhood to the deeper connections formed in adulthood, they delve into the joys and complexities of maintaining meaningful friendships.
With actionable insights and heartfelt reflections, this episode reminds us to value the people who choose to stay in our lives and to take friendships seriously as a cornerstone of success and well-being.
