About Enabling the How
Our call to action at 5th Place is to focus on developing emotional fitness and mental well-being in order to create positive change in the world. Join us, Chantal and Matthew, co-owners of 5th Place, in our escapades every week as we stumble and trip, dance and whirl our way through very normal and not so normal weeks in their drive to make the world a better place. This “How” comes in many different forms and in this case it comes in the form of sharing life, loves, and loss. It’s also a whole lot of what living is like in South Africa.

Colours on spirals
A week of holidays but no vacation makes a hot bed for sniffles. Through tissues and mugginess we dive into colours on spirals and learn something that can help us connect with our audience better.
Choosing you
A late breakfast, a visit for a walk and a reminder of the value of choosing you and how it can positively impact your life.
Agency and owning it
The after Easter doldrums that seemed to affect everyone resulted in a long wait to get through a bureaucratic hoop. This allowed some time to reflect on how we prefer to be treated.
Honour and belief
A different Easter weekend, connecting, reflecting and swapping stories that matter made for a full and warm time and an opportunity to wonder about what a difference believing in ourselves would make.
The Feedback Loop
Feedback, so important for growth and development, has tracks laid in our youth that say it is unpleasant and difficult. Doing it well is a gift that can be learnt.
Stop all that stress
Reading about ADD, its causes and how to address it leads to learning how impactful stress is on our wellbeing, that of our children and our relationships gives us an opportunity to make different choices.
Loss and Recovery
Loss can come in many guises and recovery can take many forms. Time, patience and care help but it is our connectedness to others that supports the process the most.
Listen to Hear
Listening is an act of creation. We are reminded by watching a movie we did not want to see that when we move away from our egos and positions, when we open our hearts and hear, magic happens.
Preparation makes the dream work
It is always useful to be prepared. Preparation can take hours, days, weeks or longer. In this particular case it has taken years of preparation to make a dream work. Who would have known.
