I first discovered Mpoomy Ledwaba on YouTube around 2018 or 2019. Even then, she radiated that grounded “big sister” energy — wise, accomplished, and unapologetically herself. Fast forward a few years, and she’s evolved into so much more: a published author, sought-after speaker, and host of The Wisdom & Wellness Podcast — one of the most heartfelt and enriching shows out there.
In the latest episode, A Conversation About God, Women, and Sex, Mpoomy sits down with Renee Kapuku and Courtney Daniella Boateng — the dynamic duo behind the To My Sisters podcast. What follows is just over an hour of honest, funny, vulnerable, and deeply resonant conversation. Every woman should hear it.
The episode opens with Courtney and Renee reflecting on the idea that when God created women, He may have been thinking in terms of “completion” and “detail.” This thought sets the tone for a spiritually rich and celebratory discussion of womanhood.
One core theme is community. Courtney, drawing from her faith, highlights that the Lord’s Prayer begins with “Our Father” — a subtle but powerful reminder that we’re not meant to walk through life alone. She adds that as you pursue your purpose, God extends grace to those journeying alongside you. That stayed with me.
Building on that, Renee offers a beautiful metaphor: imagine juggling a mix of glass and plastic balls. The key is knowing which ones can fall and which must be protected. It’s a gentle but clear reminder not to neglect those who matter most while chasing your goals.
The conversation also dives into the all-too-common trap of comparison among women. Courtney speaks candidly about body image and her experience as a plus-size Black woman. She shares the sting of not being seen as the “first choice” in dating, and the quiet ache of being the supportive friend while others — whose looks align with beauty standards — find love more easily. Her honesty is raw and relatable.
Courtney and Renee also reflect on the emotional complexity that came with Courtney’s engagement. They speak openly about the need for honest conversations — and grace — to navigate change while preserving friendship. It’s a moving glimpse into the layered beauty of sisterhood.
The episode closes with a bold conversation about sex — and how it’s still taboo in many Christian spaces. They recount their early, harmful introductions to sex through pornography and abuse, and call for spaces where wise, honest, and compassionate dialogue can flourish — reframing sex as sacred rather than shameful.
