How do we begin to recognise our purpose after a difficult season?

Madelaine Gomes Counseling explains that sometimes purpose begins to reveal itself through the doors that open after a difficult season.

There may be times when it feels like every door has closed. We can keep knocking, keep trying and keep pushing but nothing seems to move.

For Dr. Maddie, this is where surrender becomes important.

“I'm ready. Show me where you want me to go.”

When a new door does open, we also need the courage to walk through it.

We may question whether we're ready. We may believe we don't have the right skills or that we won't be good enough.

But Dr. Maddie reminds us that we can learn, grow and become excellent at something we never imagined for ourselves.

Sometimes purpose isn't something we have to force. It begins with recognising the doors that are opening and having the courage to say yes.

This is part of our ongoing Q&A series with Dr. Maddie, exploring healing, mindset, purpose and personal transformation.

How do we move beyond the programming that has shaped us?

Madelaine Gomes Counseling explains that much of what we believe about ourselves is shaped by our upbringing, our parents, school, community, environment and the patterns we experience along the way.

Over time, these influences can become our programming — shaping the way we think, behave and see ourselves.

But what happens when we begin to realise:

“This is not who I am.”

Dr. Maddie describes this as moving from the “worldly image” of ourselves towards the divine image within us.

For her, that means becoming aware of the beliefs and behaviours that no longer serve us, learning from our pain and choosing to renew our minds.

Because beneath the layers of programming, she believes there is something deeper — a purpose, gifts and values that have always been within us.

We all have something within us that can be used to serve others.

The challenge is that we cannot fully step into our purpose while remaining trapped in the programming that tells us who we are supposed to be.

This is part of our ongoing Q&A series with Dr. Maddie, exploring healing, mindset, faith, purpose and personal transformation.

Your programming may have shaped you, but it doesn't have to define you.

As we continue introducing the people helping shape Brothers from the Hood, we’d like you to meet Rome Naidoo, the Programme Lead for Dr Phil-Afel Foundation’s Young Brotherhood Programme.

Many people may not know that before the Dr Phil-Afel Foundation existed as a nonprofit organisation, there was Dr Phil-Afel (Pty) Ltd and Rome was one of the original founders who helped shape that early journey.

Since then, Rome has dedicated much of his time to men’s work, coaching, mentorship and facilitating men’s circles, helping men build stronger relationships with themselves, their families and their communities.

Now, in what feels like a full-circle moment, Rome has returned to help lead Brothers from the Hood.

Starting this month, he will be working with 15 young men from Hanover Park through monthly mentorship sessions focused on brotherhood, leadership, personal growth and emotional wellbeing, while helping build a network of mentors and positive male role models committed to supporting the next generation.

We believe that when young men are given guidance, positive role models and a safe space to grow, entire families and communities benefit.

Our pilot session takes place this Saturday, 13 June, and we’re raising R3,000 to cover transport, food, materials and activities for the boys.

If you’d like to support this work, volunteer, partner with us, or simply have a conversation about the programme, we’d love to hear from you: 📧 [email protected]

Some places represent fear.

For Chazz, Pollsmoor Correctional Centre was one of them.

As a child, it was a place he never imagined going near, let alone walking through its gates with a purpose. Today, that same place has become somewhere our team has the opportunity to serve, mentor and help create lasting change.

Sometimes the places we fear most become the places we're called to make the biggest difference.

Our Reform & Reintegration Programme isn't just about people leaving prison. It's about helping people rebuild their lives.

Through mentorship, life coaching, personal development and practical reintegration support, we're working to ensure that a release date becomes the beginning of a new chapter rather than the start of another cycle.

This programme is also strengthened by the involvement of Gavin and Mervaline Hare, whose lived experience, including time spent at Pollsmoor, brings understanding, credibility and hope to those beginning their own journey of change.

Real transformation starts from within. When people are given the right support, accountability and opportunities, lives can change.

Now we need your help to make that possible.

Whether you donate, become a partner, volunteer your skills, share this post or simply keep this programme in your prayers, you're helping someone take another step towards rebuilding their future.

💙 Be part of someone's second chance.

Everyone deserves someone who believes in them.

That belief is at the heart of our Reform & Reintegration Programme.

As the Lead Facilitator of our Women's Programme at Pollsmoor Correctional Centre, Kirsten Adams will be walking alongside women as they begin the journey of rebuilding their lives.

Correctional Services welcomed this partnership because they recognise that rehabilitation isn't something they can do alone. Lasting transformation happens when communities step forward to mentor, educate and support those who are ready to change.

Kirsten believes every woman deserves to be heard.

Every woman deserves the opportunity to heal, grow and discover strengths she may never have realised she had.

Through mentorship, life coaching, personal development and practical reintegration support, our programme creates a safe space where women can rebuild confidence, develop life skills and prepare for a future beyond prison.

Because when a woman changes her life, the impact reaches far beyond herself. It strengthens families, children and entire communities.

After months of planning, preparation and collaboration, we're honoured to finally begin this journey.

Now we need your help to continue it.

Whether you donate, become a partner, volunteer your skills, share this post or simply keep this programme in your prayers, you're helping someone take another step towards rebuilding their future.

💙 Be part of someone's second chance.

Learning about nature, in nature 🌿🐾

Our BWC Troopers recently headed to Tygerberg Nature Reserve for another hands-on environmental learning experience, in collaboration with Dr Phil-Afel

The outing was facilitated by Mike,OWL BOX MAN, who had the Troopers searching for animal spoor, exploring porcupine burrows and learning about the wildlife found within the reserve. Along the way, they discovered how animals, plants, insects, fungi and even the smallest organisms all play an important role in the web of life 🦅🌱

A huge thank you to Mike for sharing his knowledge, enthusiasm and passion for the natural world with our Troopers.

We’d also like to thank Coffee Café for providing our lunches at a discounted rate. The vegan hummus and vegetable sandwiches were a huge hit with the kids! 🥪💚

The Troopers Programme is about giving young people opportunities to experience animals and nature firsthand, while nurturing compassion and respect for animals, people and our planet.

If you’d like to help us continue creating experiences like these for our Troopers, you can support our campaign and donate here:
