Sober Living in Joburg: Why My Friends Stopped Inviting Me Out

Welcome To Another Episode of Seatedwith Thato and Lebo Rampedi!
In this candid and unforgettable episode, we dive deep into the uncomfortable yet liberating journey of Choosing Yourself First. We sit down with artist Jemapelle, who shares his raw journey from starting in a rap group and finding his voice in a school choir, to navigating the realities of the corporate world.

What to expect:

The Big Confession: One of the hosts reveals keeping a dead romantic relationship alive for months—simply because of the massive social media brand deals and campaigns it was generating. Hear the brutal truth about sacrificing happiness for the 'hustle' and the emotional cost of rebranding.

The 9-to-5 Escape: Hear firsthand why the guest famously walked out of his banking job (and admits he was barely working anyway !) to pursue his artistic dream and content creation career, highlighting the need for young South Africans to focus on compliance and financial education.

The Sober Shift: An honest account of how choosing sobriety immediately affected long-term friendships, forcing a realization about who truly supports a change in lifestyle.

Financial Wake-Up Calls: We vent about the lack of real-world financial education (sorry, LO!) and share actionable, non-financial advice tips on saving for your future—like putting your money into simple ETFs—to avoid the biggest regrets of your 20s.

Relationship Truths: Hear why "love is not that serious" in your early 20s and why not every attraction needs to lead to a relationship.

This is a must-watch for any young South African entrepreneur, artist, or content creator battling the pressure to please others, chase the money, or sacrifice their peace for a temporary win. Stop letting your current reality dictate your potential. It's time to bet on yourself!
