THE CHAOS BEFORE THE CALM: Understanding the Turbulence of Spiritual Healing ✨

Tomorrow morning at 04:30 on SAfm, I will be diving into one of the most misunderstood dimensions of growth: the chaos that accompanies spiritual healing. Many people assume healing is gentle, linear, and predictable. But the truth—especially within an Afrocentric, lineage-rooted worldview—is that spiritual healing often begins with disruption, disorientation, and deep internal conflict.

We will unpack why your spirit shakes before it settles, why identity feels unstable in seasons of transformation, and why the path to alignment often feels like a storm before it becomes a sanctuary. This is a conversation for anyone navigating transition, awakening, or the inner work of reconnecting with their authentic blueprint.

Join me and my A-Teamers for a meaningful, grounding, and transformative dialogue that brings both psychological clarity and spiritual depth to a journey many walk in silence.

HEART at WORK!!!

Spiritual healing is often mistaken for peace, but in truth, it begins as disruption. Your spirit will disturb anything that is too small for your calling. It will shake relationships that shrink you, expose beliefs that limit you, and break versions of you that were built for survival, not destiny.

We keep calling it “spiritual warfare,” “attacks,” or “bad luck,” when sometimes it’s simply your soul refusing to negotiate with anything that contradicts who you were created to become.

Not every loss is punishment — some losses are alignment. Not every ending is trauma — some endings are evolution.

Healing and spirituality are not about becoming calm; they’re about becoming congruent. When your inner world and outer life finally match, peace becomes a by-product, not a performance.

The Courage to Outgrow Who You Used to Be

You are not stuck. You have outgrown the version of you that once survived.

By Lehlohonolo Mazindo
Mental Clarity. Spiritual Depth. Life Mastery.



There comes a time when the courage you need is not to face the world, but to face the version of you that was built for a season that has ended.

I know that version. Mine was shaped by pain, diagnosis, defeat, divorce, and the story of the man who kept trying and kept falling. I learned survival, not growth.



Why We Stay Stuck

We hold on to what feels familiar even when it limits us. What protected you once can restrict you now. Safety can become a cage.

The ego clings. The soul calls. You must choose which voice you follow.



My Turning Point

One day I saw that I was no longer depressed, yet I was still living like I was. Still shrinking. Still doubting myself. Still carrying habits that belonged to a man I had already outgrown.

I wasn’t stuck. I was outdated.



The Work of Outgrowing

Growth is spiritual. Outgrowing is sacred. It is not about becoming someone else, but releasing what no longer reflects your truth.

I had to outgrow guilt for wanting joy.
I had to outgrow identities tied to pain.
I had to outgrow survival so I could step into purpose.



The Invitation

You are not stuck. You are being invited to become someone your past cannot recognise.

Not to fix yourself, but to free yourself.
Not to fight the old, but to embody the new.
Not to wait for confidence, but to move with courage.

Your future is waiting for your permission to grow.



From My Heart to Yours

You are not your trauma or your failures.
You are a rising, healing masterpiece shaped by grace and strengthened by experience.

You were not born to only survive. You were born to thrive.

THE MOST POWERFUL SHIFT YOU’LL EVER MAKE: From Self-Sabotage to Self-Actualisation

By Lehlohonolo Mazindo
Mental Clarity. Spiritual Depth. Life Mastery.

There was a time when I wasn’t just living with depression—I was defined by it. Since 2008, I’ve battled chronic clinical depression, been admitted into psychiatric hospitals more times than I can count, and even experienced psychosis. I wore my diagnosis like an identity. I thought I was broken beyond repair.

But one day, while studying positive psychology, I encountered the Mental Health Continuum Model:
• Some are ill and languishing.
• Some are ill but flourishing.
• Some are well but still languishing.
• Some are well and flourishing.

That model changed my life.

It taught me that illness may happen to us, but flourishing is a choice we make from within. I realised I could still flourish—even with depression. So I stopped waiting to be cured to live my best life. I began building that life from the inside out.

I didn’t stop medication. I didn’t abandon therapy. But I did stop surrendering to suffering.

Because suffering is not the illness—it’s the internal narrative we carry about it.

And the most powerful narrative shift you’ll ever make is from self-sabotage to self-actualisation.

Self-sabotage isn’t about weakness—it’s rooted in identity. We sabotage because we don’t believe we deserve better. Until you update your self-concept, no healing will feel like home.

Today, I am flourishing. Not because life is perfect, but because I chose to stop letting pain define me. I’ve turned my depression into direction. My calling has caught up with my compensation—and yes, it’s magical to get paid for doing what I was born to do.

Your value isn’t in what you drive. It’s in what drives you.
Not in what you live in, but what lives in you.
True healing is not being cured—it’s being well with your soul.

You may not choose your diagnosis.
But you can choose your definition.

That’s my story, and I’m thankful that I live to tell it.

Today’s official launch of Think or Shrink: Explore Your Mind to Expand Your Life was truly unforgettable.

After years of private impact, it was a joy to finally present the book publicly—and to do so in the presence of friends, students, mentees, colleagues, and fellow thinkers made it even more meaningful.

A heartfelt thank you to SACAP for making this moment possible and for providing a platform that nurtures growth, healing, and transformation.

I often speak on “The Road Least Traveled”—the one between your left ear and your right ear. It’s in our minds that our greatest battles are fought, and our greatest breakthroughs are birthed.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, supported, and made this day a landmark in my journey. Let’s keep thinking, growing, and expanding.

05/11/2025

Maybe healing is not really about feeling better — maybe it’s about becoming more real. The world keeps telling you to “move on,” “stay positive,” and “forgive and forget,” as if healing means deleting the evidence of your becoming. But what if healing is not about erasing the pain, but integrating the truth it revealed?

Mental health is not the absence of struggle; it’s the presence of alignment. You can meditate, journal, and affirm all day, but if you’re still betraying your truth, your soul will rebel in the form of anxiety, exhaustion, and emotional chaos. Sometimes your “breakdown” is just your spirit refusing to live a lie any longer.

Healing is not a return to who you were; it’s a revolution into who you really are. You don’t heal by fixing your past — you heal by freeing your future from it. Wholeness is not perfection; it’s radical self-honesty wrapped in grace.

Healing, in its essence, is not about eliminating the pain; it’s about integrating it into your purpose in a meaningful way.

Becoming the Message: When Your Life Speaks Louder Than Your Words
By Lehlohonolo Mazindo
Mental Clarity. Spiritual Depth. Life Mastery.

There was a time I taught hope while half-hopeless.
I preached strength while trembling.
I mentored others while privately wrestling with the weight of my own diagnosis.
I was declared ill with Major Depressive Disorder and anxiety in 2008, and I still take my prescribed medication to this day.

But back then, I was living two lives:
The voice the world applauded, and the silent scream within.
It was inspiring—yet incongruent. I knew the message… but I hadn’t yet become it.

The turning point?
A mirror. A question: “Does my life reflect what I teach?”
The answer was humbling: No.

I didn’t need to be perfect—just authentic.
So, I began the real work: aligning my lifestyle with my message.
I stopped merely talking about healing, leadership, or growth—and started embodying them, one consistent day at a time.

I still go to therapy. I still take my meds.
But here’s the difference:
I no longer teach from emptiness—I lead from overflow.
I no longer inspire from performance—I transform from presence.

This journey taught me:
🟩 Your scars carry more power than your speeches.
🟩 Your life is your longest-running mentorship session.
🟩 You don’t just inspire by what you say—you transform by how you live.

When your life becomes the message, it speaks louder than your words ever could.

So here’s my invitation:
Stop being your brand.
Start being your truth.
Let your days echo your declarations.

Because when your message and your life align—trust is built, healing happens, and legacy begins.

That’s my story.
And I’m thankful that I live to tell it.

Mighty Men of Valor — A Sacred Gathering in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania 🔥🔥🔥

The Mighty Men of Valor Conference at Rhema The Faithful Church in Dar Es Salaam was nothing short of transformative. Men from every walk of life gathered — not just to be inspired, but to be healed, empowered, and transformed.

I was deeply honoured to share this sacred platform with my Mentor, Dr. David Molapo, whose presence continues to redefine my understanding of destiny. He doesn’t just introduce me to rooms I once dreamed of entering — he introduces me to deeper versions of myself. His prophetic and expert guidance remains a divine compass for my purpose.

In my message, I reminded men that the real issue is not that people are sick — the real issue is that many don’t know they are healed. They hold onto thought patterns and behaviours that keep them trapped in diseases that no longer exist.

Healing is not about fixing what’s broken — it’s about renewing the mind and updating our thoughts to align with God’s blueprint for our lives.

God designed each of us with a purpose (the blueprint), but life’s adverse experiences often leave an imprint that distorts that divine design. We remain unwell because instead of expanding our imprint to match God’s blueprint, we shrink the blueprint to fit our brokenness.

We need change — and the change we need begins within us.

Because MEN-TAL HEAL-TH begins when MEN HEAL.

CALLING OVER COMPENSATION: When Your Purpose Starts to Pay You Back
By Lehlohonolo Mazindo
Mental Clarity. Spiritual Depth. Life Mastery.

There was a time I chose calling over compensation.
No salary. No perks. No prestige.
Just the pull of something divine within me saying,
“You were made for more.”

People questioned me.
Even I questioned myself.
Because purpose doesn’t pay immediately.
In fact, it costs you—time, sleep, relationships, pride.

But I kept sowing in tears.
Now I’m reaping in joy.
And here’s the beauty:
My compensation has caught up with my calling.

Now I get paid to do what I was born to do.
I get compensated to exist in alignment with purpose.
It’s not about a title or paycheck.
It’s about the inner reward of impact.

Not everyone is called to quit their job,
but everyone is called to live with purpose.
Even within your current job,
you can show up as your highest self.

Ships are safe in the harbour.
But is that what ships are made for?

Don’t let the comfort of the known
rob you of the life you were meant to live.
Your true assignment is not always safe—but it is sacred.

And when you walk in it long enough,
your compensation will chase your calling.
Because value always attracts value.

🚫 True wealth is not what you drive.
✅ It’s what drives you.
🚫 Not what you live in.
✅ But what lives in you.

I am no longer just surviving.
I’m finally thriving.
And I’m grateful I lived to tell the story.

Flourishing with Scars: Choosing to Thrive Beyond Diagnosis

(Instagram-optimized, within the 2,200 character limit)



I was diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder with anxiety symptoms in 2008. Seventeen years later, I still take my antidepressants every day. But I no longer live defeated.

There was a time I saw myself as broken. Born in poverty. No contacts. Too traumatised to succeed. Not talented. Not enough. And because I believed it, I lived it. Depression became my identity. Even under treatment, I was still suffering—languishing, not living.

My breakthrough didn’t come from pills alone. It came when I changed my mindset.

I stopped defining myself by the past I hated and started defining myself by the future I desired. I replaced self-loathing with self-compassion. I focused on what’s strong instead of what’s wrong. I stopped being my own worst enemy and became my greatest ally.

That’s when I moved from languishing to flourishing—even with a disorder.

Because healing isn’t the absence of illness, it’s the presence of purpose.

I still take meds.
I still go to therapy.
But I’m no longer suffering.

Depression can exist in my life—but it doesn’t define my life. You can be ill and still be well. You can be in pain and still make progress. You can be diagnosed and still be destined.

Flourishing is not a luxury. It’s a mindset.

So stop waiting to be cured to start living. Live your best life—regardless. That’s how healing begins.

That’s my story, and I’m thankful that I live to tell it.

From Grassroots to Greatness
Becoming a High-Value Person through Personal Development
By Lehlohonolo Mazindo
Mental Clarity. Spiritual Depth. Life Mastery.

I was just a poor township boy—no wealth, no networks, no roadmap to success. What I had was pain, trauma, and limiting beliefs.

But personal development changed everything.

🔹 I developed self-awareness—no longer blaming life, I confronted my patterns and claimed responsibility for my growth.

🔹 I mastered my mindset—from “I’m broken” to “I’m becoming.” I stopped thinking about who hurt me and started thinking about who I’m called to heal.

🔹 I grew in emotional intelligence—learning to honour my feelings without letting them dictate my future.

🔹 I found purpose—not just escaping poverty but embracing a mission: to inspire, heal, and transform.

🔹 I cultivated discipline—showing up even when depression whispered I wasn’t enough. I built habits that made healing inevitable.

🔹 I gained confidence—no longer shrinking in rooms where I once felt small. I became the man I once needed.

🔹 I chose contribution—using my life story to empower others through mentorship, therapy, and transformation.

Today, I lead an Academy that discovers, develops, and deploys greatness. But it all began with doing the work within.

You don’t need perfection to rise. You need direction. You don’t need to be born into greatness—you can grow into it.

Your past may have shaped you, but it doesn’t have to define you. Grow anyway. Heal anyway. Become anyway.
