That’s Funny!: Recent Episodes
Baxbara
You know that friend you call for two minutes and suddenly it’s been an hour ? Yip, that’s Baxbara ! From serious topics like people pleasing, performative Christianity and navigating adulthood to that ONE TIME she drank ALL the communion at a church camp (okay, maybe it happened more than once). Grab an iced coffee as Bax recounts funny, but somewhat serious anecdotes and moments in her life where she thought it was the end of the world but in hindsight had some sort of lesson attached to it (but mostly humour, lol).
The biggest excuse I gave was that "I don't have time", until I recognised that I was just complacently using that time to do OTHER things that didn't necessarily feed into my goals.
Today we're going over 3 hard truths that I had to face before getting into action on an episode we're calling "Becoming Disciplined". While I may not be a professional at discipline, I definitely have made TONS of progress, and I really think you can too -- so tap in!

No one outside your head knows the exact battles you're fighting or how many early mornings you've dragged yourself out of bed, but that doesn't mean it goes unnoticed. You're trying your best and that should be good enough FOR YOU, because that dedication is adding up and your season of reward is creeping up! (Read Col 3:23 & Gal 6:12)
If my little life has taught me anything it's that nothing lasts forever, not hardships, not high moments, not even relationships.
So how do you continue to show up consistently in an inconsistent world/life? My 3 takeaways this past week:
1. Take a break (and don't wait for permission)
In an age where we can see the opinions of LITERALLY the whole world, it's so important to take a moment to recalibrate with your own, take time out to search yourself and ask (God) whether the direction you're speeding off into -- is indeed correct.
If a surgeon cuts 1cm too deep or a pilot flies 1 degree off, the end result is dramatically different, and that's how I'm trying to steward my energy. In the right direction with the right amount of commitment.
2. Practice Gratitude
This art of gratitude has helped keep me grounded in my most exciting seasons, because I understand the value of the opportunities I'm living in and in times of desperation or despondency it helps me lift my eyes off of what I don't have so I can maximise what I do have.
Soon you'll come to realize what God has given you and the responsibility that comes with it. Then wake up everyday and ask yourself: How are you bringing heaven on earth with the gifts heaven sent you with?
3. You'll have to tune into the @boldly.becoming podcast on Friday to get this point 🤣😉❤️.

In this video, we get to hear from Mama Zanele herself, as she shares some incredible insights on the evolution of beauty standards and representation for black women in South African media.Mama Zanele is an absolute inspiration, having overcome so many obstacles to become the successful woman she is today. And, as a Princeton University speaker, she's got the experience and expertise to share some real wisdom with us all.In this video, Mama Zanele talks about how far we've come in terms of representation for black women in the media. She touches on the fact that, in the past, there were so few positive role models for young black girls to look up to - but now, things are changing for the better. She also gives some words of encouragement to young black women who are looking to make their mark in the world.So, if you're looking for some inspiration and insight from a total powerhouse of a woman, look no further than Mama Zanele. Be sure to watch the full video to hear her story and learn from her incredible experiences.
Now, I know what you're thinking.
"Baxbara, why are you still single? You're such a catch!"
Well, thank you for the compliment, but the truth is, I'm actually loving the single life right now.
But that doesn't mean I'm completely closed off to the idea of a relationship. In fact, I've got a couple of things that would make me consider settling down. From mutual respect, to a shared love for sushi, there are certain non-negotiables that I just can't compromise on.
So if you're curious about what it takes to win over this single gal, tune in and get ready for some real talk. Who knows, maybe you'll hear something that'll help you on your own dating journey too! Don't forget to leave a comment below with your own dating stories and deal breakers.
Let's get this love train rolling! 💘
There’s a power in allowing yourself to be known and heard, in owning your unique story, in using your authentic voice. And there’s a grace in being willing to know and hear others. This, for me, is how we become. - Michelle Obama
Hey Besties!
Today we’re talking about the power of representation and why sharing your voice matters. And let me tell you, I'm speaking from experience. I've had my own journey in taking up space and owning my power, and it's not always easy. But, guuurl, it's worth it. See, everyone's voice has value, no matter who they are. And it takes hearing someone else's story to feel seen and heard -- that's why, to my mother's disdain 🤣, I often open up about my own traumas and experiences online. So grab a cup of coffee (or wine, we won't judge), and get ready for some laughs and real talk!
Today I want to share with you my diary entry on singleness and feeling unseen.
I know many of us can relate to these feelings, especially during the month of Valentine's Day. But let me tell you, I've come a long way from feeling down and out about being single.
In this video/podcast, I'm going to take you through my journey of discovering the confidence and joy in being alone. I'll share some funny anecdotes, some sad events in friendships, and my newfound appreciation for the art of self-love. Whether you're single or in a relationship, this video is for everyone who wants to find happiness in their own skin. Because trust me, there's nothing better than being comfortable in your own company.
So let's dive into the diary entry, and get ready for a wild ride of self-discovery and acceptance.

"Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become." - Steve Jobs
What if I told you New Year's Resolutions aren't goals (to be failed), but promises you keep! In today's episode we dig into the "new year, new me" cliché through the lens of my resolutions for the year. 2023 is asking you to step up to the plate and make it your year, are you up for it?
On the 'PodCouch' with me today I've got "Surfer Boy" Santana 🤣 and this is one FOR THE BOOKS.
He touches on such hectic christian topics in the most laid back and easy to understand ways -- making me realize, maybe we are overthinking what God has called us to be in the world?

Kuda and I sat down for a fun conversation around all things Holy Spirit and hearing from God.
For a lot of us, we’ve got dreams and visions for our lives but is that what God wants for us? In most cases, our desires and talents hint to the purpose God has for us — but can equally become the idol that causes our demise.

We’ve all seen the “that girl” morning routines that consist of pink smoothies, avo on rye toast and a 7 step skincare routine that comprises of 90 different oils. While all of that is aspirational for a lot of us, myself included, is that an accurate display of EVERYDAY girl mornings ?
"Don’t push your way to the front; don’t sweet-talk your way to the top. Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead. Don’t be obsessed with getting your own advantage. Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand. Better yet, redouble your efforts. Be energetic in your life of salvation, reverent and sensitive before God. That energy is God’s energy, an energy deep within you, God himself willing and working at what will give him the most pleasure. Do everything readily and cheerfully—no bickering, no second-guessing allowed! Go out into the world uncorrupted, a breath of fresh air in this squalid and polluted society. Provide people with a glimpse of good living and of the living God. Carry the light-giving Message into the night so I’ll have good cause to be proud of you on the day that Christ returns." - Philippians 2 MSG

If we're being honest, the thought of prayer can sometimes be stressful and daunting ESPECIALLY IN A GROUP SETTING (am I right?!). Am I saying the right words, should I get on my knees, can I pray in my heart ?
In today's spontaneous episode we CASUALLY (lol) unpack how to pray, incorporate the Holy Spirit in our everyday life and how to usher in the presence of God -- and get Him to FINALLY answer us!!! Check out Matthew 6 (MSG) it will blow your mind !

Disclaimer: EXTREMELY sensitive and potentially TRIGGERING topics will be discussed in depth in this video regarding weight, eating disorders, body dysmorphia, exercise addiction, stigma, calories, and bad body-image. All opinions are my own. THIS VIDEO MAY NOT BE FOR YOU & THAT IS OK!
If I’m being honest with you, I don’t have all the answers or any even. I’ve dealt with workaholism & a toxic relationship with food as a result for years.
How I feel about my body, has nothing to do with anyone else nor does it reflect how I feel about bodies that do not look like my own, my body image is affected by nothing and no one but MYSELF. Body positivity is subjective to the inhabitant of the body.
It’s been quite a journey, but my hope is that someone would relate, know they’re not alone & be willing to work on it together as a supportive community.

Understanding the Father, Son and Holy Spirit can be pretty confusing, because how are all of them God but we have only one God ? How does that work ? In today's episode, which was meant to be a Holy Spirit video turned Trinity, we'll be scratching the surface of who the Trinity is and the different purposes they serve.

It’s a rant session. Bax is fired up about all of her unpopular food opinions in this episode. From chicken and eating it more frequently than necessary, to that mixed veg in curry being added to EVERY DISH. We all have foods we dislike, i probably have more than most, sorry mayonnaise people you don’t get a pass here either.

As you guys know YouTube has become a BIG part of my life 🤪, I’m literally quarter-to doing it full time, UNBELIEVABLE 😭💗! In the spirit of our 2 Year Anniversary on Sunday — today’s conversation is more of a candid walk down memory lane, I chat about meeting subscribers and ‘famous YouTubers’, how YouTube negatively affected my relationships and naturally, a ton of funny stories in between because “That’s Funny!” 🤪.
My fear of conflict and being tolerated in spaces & relationships has definitely kept me from making decisions in the past and standing firm on my NO! Where does one find the balance between dying to self to serve people and falling into the snare of seeking validation ? In today’s episode we’ll go into depth about one of the biggest culprits of anxiety — people pleasing.
You know that friend you call for two minutes and suddenly it’s been an hour ? Yip, that’s Baxbara ! From serious topics like people pleasing, performative Christianity and navigating adulthood to that one time she drank all the communion at a church camp (okay, maybe it happened more than once). Appropriately named, “That’s Funny” is a personification of the old saying “one day you’re gonna look back at this and laugh”.
So grab an iced coffee and catch up with your new best friend as she recounts times she thought she was at the end of her world or even on top of it — only to now look back and think “that’s funny”.
