This week on The One Circle, I sit down with Monja Vermaak. Who is a mother, wife, and a foster parent whose story is a reminder of how love can rebuild the village.

Together with her husband, Monja opened their home to newborn babies who needed care, and in the process, they adopted their daughter Aliyah.

Her journey is about faith, compassion, and the quiet strength of stepping in when life throws curveballs.

Monja shows us that being someone’s anchor, even for a short while, can change lives forever.

This episode is a celebration of ordinary people doing extraordinary things, and the light that shines when community becomes more than a word and becomes lived.

In this first episode, I step fully into my vulnerable era, where strength lives right alongside it.

Sharing the vision behind The One Circle: rebuilding the village, a concept long forgotten, and creating a space where parenthood, community, and every story can belong.

From my journey into motherhood, to the wins and pockets of joy that carry me, to the hard questions about what truly fills our cups this episode is about presence, resilience, and the beginning of a circle that holds us all.
