In this special replay of the Safe Space podcast, join us for an enlightening conversation between host Thato Pules and our very own Zinhle Novazi. Originally aired on Safe Space, this episode dives deep into the intricacies of becoming a multipotentialite and navigating the often tumultuous twenties.

The period between age 20 and 30 is known for bringing about radical changes, both internally and externally. It's a time of juggling competing interests, embarking on a journey of self-discovery, and addressing unhealed past traumas. The urgency to care for oneself becomes paramount, and the struggle to find one’s footing is a common experience.

One of the significant trends among young people today is multipotentialism—the pursuit of many interests and careers. However, our society tends to value specialization, creating a challenge for multipotentialites who often feel pressured to fit into predefined boxes. This social conditioning is deeply entrenched in our culture and way of life, making it even more critical to address and understand.

In this episode, Zinhle Novazi, an Attorney, Multipotentialite, and Director at Heavy Chef, shares her journey and insights on thriving as a multipotentialite. She discusses the challenges and rewards of embracing diverse passions and interests, and offers inspiration and motivation for those in their twenties who are struggling to navigate this transformative decade.

Tune in to Navigating the Twenties for this engaging and motivational episode, and discover how to embrace your unique path in a world that often demands conformity.
