s3e7: Isabella Makhura | the plight of unemployment | living with disability | struggling with faith

In South Africa, 60% of youth are currently unemployed (as of April 2025, the recording of this episode).

In this deeply personal episode, I sit down with Isabella Makhura, a bright young lawyer and social media voice of encouragement, who opens up about the silent battles so many face behind closed doors. Isabella shares her journey of navigating unemployment after completing her law degree and articles, and how this season tested more than just her patience — it tested her identity, her faith, and her emotional strength. She reminds us that being unemployed does not mean being unworthy.

Together, we unpack:

The emotional and spiritual weight of waiting for a breakthrough
The financial reality of being without work
The power of vulnerability, purpose, and redefining success in your own time

This isn’t just a story about jobs. It’s about faith in the waiting, and the courage it takes to keep showing up when life doesn’t go according to plan.
