    Go Deeper with Coach Alicia - Breaking Free from Fragile Peace.

    Welcome back to "Go Deeper," the segment where host Mpeo Nkosi and Coach Alicia Pieterse dive into the questions that linger after thought-provoking guest interviews. This week, they unpack the concept of "fragile peace" and its impact on individuals and communities.

    Inspired by a conversation with Lesedi Molefi, author of Patient 12A, on the episode “The Cost of Fragile Peace” Mpeo and Coach Alicia explore the idea of "fragile peace" and how we prioritise silence over truth to maintain appearances. We discuss how this dynamic manifests in black and brown communities, the generational impact of suppressing emotions, and the steps individuals can take to break free from these harmful cycles.

    Key Discussion Points:
    • Defining "fragile peace" and its prevalence in certain cultural contexts.
    • The roots of fragile peace in working-class families and the pressure to maintain appearances.
    • The generational impact of fragile peace: how trauma and coping mechanisms are passed down.
    • The cost of suppression and pretence: depression, substance abuse, and numbing behaviours.
    • The importance of breaking the cycle of silence and finding the courage to speak truth.
    • The difference between loyalty and complicity.
    • Practical steps for breaking free from fragile peace: self-reflection, honest conversations, and seeking professional help.
    • The power of finding your voice and creating safety for authentic expression.
    • The importance of starting with small changes in your immediate environment.
