About this listen

In this episode, Anita and Mel sit down with Shirley, a widow navigating life after losing her husband to addiction. She shares the raw challenges of grief, judgment, and anger—and how she’s transforming that pain into purpose. This fierce lady is on a mission to break the stigma around addiction and create space for South African women to feel seen and supported. With honesty, resilience, and confidence, she reflects on her healing journey and the power of connection in moving forward.
