It only makes sense then, that local actress and businesswoman, Omuhle Gela decided to invite the veteran broadcaster as one of the guest speakers at the upcoming Moms’ Day Off – because who better to advise women on juggling career, personal well-being and motherhood than Melanie herself!
“Gorgeous Melanie Bala joins us for this edition of MDO. She’s a Metro FM DJ and yummy mommy who will share tips on being so successful and managing hectic mom life and taking care of ourselves mentally and physically. We can’t wait!” Omuhle says.
The reason why Omuhle started this initiative was to encourage mothers to take care of themselves, and make sure they take the necessary time outs, so that they are able to be fully present for their children, and that’s exactly in line with Melanie’s beliefs, as she has shared on her social media.
“One of the biggest lessons I’ve learnt as a mother is that I need to show up for myself. It makes me a better mother to them. And hopefully sets an example, to both of them, that to go after the things you desire, requires discipline, commitment & sacrifice. That even when you hold one really important role, you must make & hold space for the totality of you. The things that bring you joy and feed your spirit are important, because when you’re happy and fulfilled, that joy cannot help but spill over into your home and family.”
