Planning your life
DJ Zinhle is a planner. She plans everything from her annual career goals to her daily life as a mom.
“Juggling it all in heels has been tough, but planning helps – together with a supportive team and family. We all need better time-management skills. I would like to advise other women and moms to avoid burnout by taking it a day at a time. Planning is key,” she told Living and Loving in 2017.
Being a single mom
“Do it your way, figure things out, learn as much as you can, be open minded and don’t stress so much. As mothers, we stress ourselves a lot and it’s not worth it.
“Also, have fun with it! Enjoy being a mother. When I was pregnant, I heard a lot of stories about how hard motherhood is – try not to pay attention to that. People on social media always say that I make motherhood look easy. Obviously there are times that are difficult but just try to enjoy it as much as possible,” she told True Love magazine.

Learn to forgive
Zinhle has had her heart broken in the past, but she has learned that holding onto grudges doesn’t do you any favours.
“The energy of not forgiving and letting go is a lot. It takes away from you more than anyone else. You have to let things go for the sake of yourself. And there’s a lot that you can learn from it. Learning comes from accepting that this was meant to happen and understanding that there’s a lesson,” she told Dennis Ngango in an interview earlier this month.
