58:08 “so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us;” Acts 17:27
59:01 You got me when you said that " We are so scared to pursue God , to a point that we are not enjoying the journey of getting to know him". That was a direct call I felt like o buwa le nna. Thank you so much. What a beautiful interview.
Oh what a precious gift. I loved every second of it. Ursula thank you for opening up to us so generously. You 3 are a great team. What a great way to end 2024
The smile I smiled when Ursula was about to talk about her PhD research project. 😊😊😊😊😊 I love this podcast. Ursula's life really speaks to how you can be so many things all at once and you dont need to be boxed to one industry. ♥️♥️♥️♥️
As a Bsc graduate I relate so much to Ursula's academic/ career journey. When I got to final year of Microbiology & Biochemistry, the thought of going to first year Med school was buried underneath my brain, i was exhausted from fighting for a degree😂😂. Got a bursary for Bsc Hon, it made sense for me to continue with Hons in Microbiology cause I had not applied for jobs. My first job made me realise I love policy development & governance and started doing more research on what I can do with my Bsc background, I landed on Public Health Postgraduate programmes, did a second Hons 😂 and now will be going for MPH...its been a rollercoaster kind of a career journey. Also being in a pharmaceutical industry really opened my eyes on career choices I did not know existed of which a Bsc graduate can explore (with guidance from seniors in that space).
Veronika Decides to die, is a game changer for anyone who can get their hands on. It has been the most liberating encounter. Ursula you are amazing and I AM inspired.
Laughing my lungs out at the scene where she was correcting the teacher of her name. "Wa phapha." Oh how I love Ursula and she inspired me to start my podcast and I can't wait to get to her level in terms of confidence and eloquence. Also I'm so excited to have finally seen Bonga's face. After all, I'm so inlove wth the whole team.❤😊
Thank you Ursula for sharing your story, it resonates with me a lot. I chose the STEM class in high school and we incorporated accounting, went on and did a BCom at varsity went on to work after graduating and found myself out of place. Resigned and pursued studies related to chemical engineering. Completed the diploma and struggled finding a job and eventually went back to work in the industry I quit. It’s been a journey, sometimes you feel confused but some days it feels like this thing that you cannot label exists. So its refreshing to hear a success story for someone whose interests are multi-faceted😊, thank you again for sharing.
Thanks team for this podcast I wouldn't thought that ursula at some point she didn't know what to study, very relatable story regarding the confusion about studying,work n not having much information ones field of study.
Oh my goodness. I actually stalled watching this because I am at a very weird place in my career and I am extremely good at other things. For a moment I felt like I should leave one for the other. I am so happy to hear that I can still pursue my career regardless of where I am with it and still be good with my "artistic side". A great reminder that human beings are vast. I watched at the right time.
Loved this conversation so much❤As an Adventist it was heartwarming to hear you speak well of the church and its teachings. Blessings upon you guys ,you are just the best team in this podcasting thing.
Loved the episode. I love everyone on TCC. You have helped me think deep about so many things, you have sparked so many debates within self. I also love how kindness comes through in everyone no matter how difficult the topic is.
oh Ursula. such an inspiration. thank you for sharing your academic story. i have been dreading my masters in engineering for quite sometime. i think this is my sign to enroll. thank you 🙏🏽
I LOVED this episode and I watched the whole thing. Ursula did not overtalk at all, I could listen to her all day. This is definitely a favourite episode
Oh Ursula, thank you for sharing your stories and being so relatable. I am going through a phase where I am going to pursue my Master’s but also looking for work and trying to find ‘a career’ and don’t have all the answers. And this episode made me relax and take it all in. You are truly inspirational💕
This conversation reminded me of the parable of the talents. Some people have a lot of talents and it’s challenging to actually use all of them to the best of your ability but I guess the lesson is that you must not hide any of your talents
Reminded me of Elizabeth Gilbert’s book called Big Magic. Loved this episode❤ Thank you Ursula for allowing us the opportunity to get to know you better 😊.
❤❤❤❤❤. One of my favorite episodes. I love what you said about religion. You have managed to say what I'm going through out loud and give me the "opportunity" to allow myself to enjoy the journey. My biggest insecurity in life has been my career and how in my 30s I'm still struggling to find my place. This has been amazing to watch.... ❤❤❤❤❤
The religion part...Thank you for sharing🫂 It really is scary that how we as christians always are up to scrutinize each other to feel holier and more right. I went through fighting for my life on cancer treatments and christians were the ones who had comments like "you don't pray enough, you don't have enough faith, what sin have you committed to go through this" not in those words but that's what would be implied. You can't even question God without being labelled as a fallen or falling soldier 😅
I was a little intimidated (but also intrigued) to listen to this episode because I hold Ursula and everyone else on this podcast to a very high standard. Going into to the episode, I identified so much to Ursula's story, especially when she mentioned not having an open mind in high school when it came to career choices. I had the same difficulty in high school (its quite a long story). But thank you so much again for yet another gift of wisdom!!
Hi Tshidi if you don’t mind please share your career journey, like you I found so much solace in not having all the answers.. I am a STEM lady too and last year I was so hard on my self in not having all the answers and later during the year I made peace with it knowing that I m in a journey and it’s okay not to have all the answers.. Hence, your comment sparked an interest in me. Hope to hear from you❤😊
i love this show so much & this should be 1 of my top 3 episode, since our journey sounds alike . Keep blessing us with more growth challenging content in 2025❤
It breaks my heart to see that you don't know how much we loveeeeee you. You going on and on is like music to our ears😅. I love you, girl. I relate to you so much, and knowing you from the Vaal. Child !!!!!. You are loved. Everyone that makes this beautiful work happen we appreciate you and the Lil tricks of you normal lives you leave on the show cos it helps us go on know that we are normal to feel, and just be . When you Ursula spoke about how you don't tell ppl that they are hurting you till you just cut them off that's me.
I thoroughly enjoyed the academic answer segment💛. As for skin regimen, Salicylic 2% acid in a cleanser, or serum or moisturizer (choose only one delivery method) works.Just don't forget sunscreen😊.
Thank you Ursula for sharing your journey with us. Lovely seeing Bonga on camera again and overall thank you TCC, a great video indeed to close off the year. Hope everyone makes it safely to 2025. Hala.
Informative conversation while getting to know Ursula on a personal level, what an eye opening segment. Beauty with brains, Siyabonga gorgeous ladies and gent❤
In honest faith I actually saw the RUclips post on the questions we'd want for you to be asked prior to this interview and the first thing that came to mind was what it is that you studied and whats your actual work ko spaneneg. Also if I had to add sungthing I would've wannet to know how your actual day at work sounds tastes smells and looks like.. Great interview nonetheless, you're an incredible caster. Shots to the ConvoCap Team 'le re seikereh mahn' Pula bagaitsoh Pula✊
Also about the name thing for your people, maybe ke your ConvoCappers, no cap type thing if anyone hasn't suggested as that name as yet. Much love guys Grace Peace and Prosperity for this year and beyond, y'alls impact is beyond impeccable and kea karela fela moh. Modimo keo guys
Bathong, Ursula is such a vibe, she responded to my DM and it felt like I have arrived 😂. Wena beauty with brains. Continue being the intellectual you are. So excited to watch this as we get to know you. Halala team PhD 👌👌. It's perfectly fine to be private. Somethings are not for the internet. Thank you for sharing 🙏 Yeyi I understand the only black in class I fully relate ... In a girls school ke trauma man. I enjoyed this interview. ❤
33:41 Cant believe you knew about Clinical research then. I did BSc in Life Sciences at SMU and only knew about it during my gap year after graduating 🤣🤣
I am not a breakfast person but it is hard to let go of. I tried intermittent fasting, I loved it until i went home and went back to the cycle. I need to get back to it as the year starts cause I loved it. I hate sugar in the morning, it does not sit well with me
58:08 “so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us;”

Ursula is humble, intelligent and incredibly beautiful. I just can't get over listening to and watching her 😍
Bongs is so beautiful man. ❤
One thing I realised about this trio is that they are all good looking. I wonder if this is a coincidence or not 😂
Too much ❤
I agree 😩❤
Came here to say exactly the same thing 😊
Ursula is a passionate talker, such people can turn any event into an interesting story....a rarity! ❤
Ursula, as a really private person myself, I just want to say that I’m so proud of you for sharing. ❤
Oh what a precious gift. I loved every second of it. Ursula thank you for opening up to us so generously. You 3 are a great team. What a great way to end 2024
Yessss. You said it right. It was so so beautiful . I also enjoyed it so much. 🎉

Ursula's life really speaks to how you can be so many things all at once and you dont need to be boxed to one industry. ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Moral of the story...take chances😊As a person that tries hard to plan everything and stay in course... I'm taking this one 🙏

This was refreshing to watch. Inspired. Sbonga is such a beautiful lady
Love the contrasting worlds of career
Beautiful episode, I thoroughly enjoyed listening to Ash’s story,so many nuggets

I enjoyed this episode so much Urs ❤
Enjoyed listening to Ursula and I initially thought I wouldn't enjoy ths interview coz I thought I knew her from following TCC
Bathong, Ursula is such a vibe, she responded to my DM and it felt like I have arrived 😂. Wena beauty with brains. Continue being the intellectual you are. So excited to watch this as we get to know you. Halala team PhD 👌👌. It's perfectly fine to be private. Somethings are not for the internet. Thank you for sharing 🙏
Yeyi I understand the only black in class I fully relate ... In a girls school ke trauma man.
I enjoyed this interview. ❤
I've been waiting 🎉❤😊
11:44 is so real! I have Zulu colleagues from the east side of Joburg who have adapted so well to speaking SeSotho 🤣
Enjoyed this episode, it could have gone on for 2 hours and I would've listened. 😊😊
I was so confused the first few seconds, asking myself where Ursula is because i'm used to seeing her face immediately when the video starts playing..
Hala Ursula ❤
Bathong Ursula you are my bestie🥰🥰🤣
Wow I used to work with her dad in the 90s
Oeh I loved this!
Yoooo uBonga! Yeerrr😍😍😍😍😍

The sensitive teeth part, I relate , I keep floss at every facets of my daily routine
I am not a breakfast person but it is hard to let go of. I tried intermittent fasting, I loved it until i went home and went back to the cycle. I need to get back to it as the year starts cause I loved it. I hate sugar in the morning, it does not sit well with me
All the best for 2025, i enjoyed this.
