The Silent Pandemic: Wellness Expert Lindiwe Shayi on Women’s Mental Health & Why It’s Okay Not to Be Okay
Loading player...
In this deeply important Wellness Monday segment, host Rethabile Mohlala is joined once again by Lindiwe Shayi—a registered social worker in private practice and the founder of Wellness With Lindz—for a crucial conversation timed with Women’s Month.
While we celebrate the strength and achievements of women, this episode tackles a silent struggle many face behind closed doors: mental health. Lindiwe provides a compassionate yet urgent breakdown of why women are 1.7 times more likely to experience depression in South Africa, and what we can do to change that.
This is more than just a discussion—it’s a lifeline. We explore:
The Multi-Role Burden: Why juggling careers, motherhood, partnerships, and more makes women particularly vulnerable to mental health disorders.
Recognizing the Signs: How to identify persistent sadness, anxiety, and stress before they evolve into more serious conditions like depression, bipolar disorder, or PTSD.
Breaking the Stigma: Why women’s mental health has been historically neglected and how we can encourage open, supportive conversations.
Practical Self-Care: actionable steps every woman can take to manage stress, build support systems, and practice vulnerability without guilt.
When to Seek Help: Lindiwe’s professional guidance on when it’s time to reach out—and how to find a safe, confidential space to heal.
If you or a woman you love has ever felt overwhelmed, unseen, or emotionally drained, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and a clear path toward support.
