This week’s conversation is a tender and powerful one with Christel Basson, National Marketing Manager for OVK. Together you explore the importance of farming in South Africa, how it carries our country forward, and how deeply it is connected to faith, resilience, and community. Christel opens her heart about losing her husband to suicide earlier this year, reminding us that we truly never know what someone else is carrying. She speaks about grief with honesty and courage, sharing how heavy that hole can feel, and how slowly finding your way back into the light is possible one small step at a time. There is no perfect way to start healing, but starting is enough. You also talk about running and how movement became part of her healing journey. Even slow steps are meaningful steps, because they build momentum and hope. And then Christel shares something beautiful. She released her own children’s book this year, a story she wrote long ago but once felt discouraged from publishing. She refused to let her dream stay locked away in a drawer and brought it to life herself. A reminder that dreams deserve air and courage and that timing belongs to God. This episode is filled with grace, wisdom, and encouragement for anyone walking through something heavy or daring to believe in something new again.
