South Africa is one of the world’s unhappiest countries – these are the happiest

The seventh World Happiness Report has been released and it seems we aren’t such a jolly bunch. Out of 156 countries, South Africa has been placed 106th behind other African countries such as Ghana, Cameroon, and Congo. The report shows that over the past decade we have become pretty dissatisfied with our overall life satisfaction. To be precise we are now 0.49 points unhappier on the ten-point scale. Between Stage 4 load shedding, corruption, late trains, and everything else, perhaps it’s not that much of a surprise. We’re adding this dubious achievement to the others of being ...

Workout nutrition explained: What to eat before, during and after a workout

Workout nutrition seems to be complicated. Or perhaps we just tend to overthink it and make it a lot more difficult than it should be? We look at what you should be eating before and after your gym session. Should you eat before hitting the gym or should you workout in a fasted state? If you do eat, should you eat protein? What is a complex carb and should that be eaten after training or during? If you find yourself tired and needing energy during a training session or feeling more sore than usual, you may need to up your nutrition game. What and when you eat can make a difference...

Five of the most common mistakes that beginner runners make

Are you a beginner runner? I am. The most I have ever run is ten kilometres and that was about eight years ago. Recently I decided that I wanted to start running again. As any “newbie” I made a lot of mistakes when I started running. Here are some of the mistakes I made and how to dust your shoes off and get back on the road. I consider myself fit and I can run five kilometres pretty comfortably but I have never trained to run long distance. So, of course, I decided that the first race I am going to train for and attempt to finish is a 21-kilometre trail race. It was late at night ...

Eight common diet myths debunked by science

There are a lot of diet myths and diet trends that circulate on the internet and social media. This fitspo says one thing, another Instagram model says the opposite. All while trying to sell you Fit Tea. We looked to science to give us some answers about the most significant diet lies out there. ALWAYS START YOUR DAY WITH BREAKFAST Eating breakfast isn’t necessary to help promote weight loss. The saying goes “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day” but no single meal is more important than the others. With the onset of popular diets like intermittent fasting, we ha...

If it fits your macros. Here is all you need to know about the non-diet, diet

Imagine a diet that isn’t a diet. You don’t need to cut out any food groups, no magic pills or supplements. You could eat a Snickers for lunch or a pizza for dinner. There is a catch. Of course, there is – nothing that good comes easy when it comes to weight loss. The catch is that you would have to calculate your calories and your set of “macros” based on your goalS. Then you would need to log and measure your food to make sure you stay within those numbers. This way of eating is also known as “flexible dieting” and a quick search of the hashtag on Instagram will show you why. ...

Postpartum exercise: setting you up for success

Slow is fast. Mama, I know you are eager to get back into exercise, eager to feel in control of your body again but I assure you that rushing back into exercise too soon can have long-term negative effects on your physical health. I know you need reminding - you are a superhero after all! But this is why I am here, to guide you back to health in a safe and responsible way. Pregnancy causes a lot of physical change as our bodies compensate for our growing babes. This sometimes results in poor movement patterns and posture, which tend to stick around after pregnancy. Your body does not...

Postpartum role adjustments for dads

The birth of a baby is the birth of a family and with this comes new roles and responsibilities. Significant changes and adjustments will be made, not only for the mother but for other members of the family as well. This one is for the dads. In the first couple of weeks, a father may feel rather useless as the mother-infant relationship intensifies and they grow into an attachment of mutual sensitivity, mother knowing baby and baby knowing mother. Your role is to create an environment that allows this mother-infant attachment to mature and support it. Here are some tips: Keep ...

Pregnancy: The Right and Wrong Way to Exercise

Instagram will show us that there are distinct camps when it comes to exercising during pregnancy and postpartum. We have those that maintain that one should just listen to their bodies and do what they have always done and then we have those who still believe that weightlifting and exercise can result in complications for mama and baby. There is most certainly a right and wrong way of exercising but the factors at play all boil down to the individual. There is no generic “perfect exercise routine” for pregnant or postpartum mamas. The perfect routine takes into account your exer...

I have worked with Soul in the past. Every experience has left me feeling good about the project and leaves me with a feeling of wholesome accomplishment. It rests well with my spirit. She tells me what she truly believes / thinks; which makes it so much easier to make an informed decision. I absolutely will request / invite Soul to work on my future projects. She is trustworthy.

I enjoy working with Soul Oman. It is easy to communicate with her. She speaks honestly, so I am not left wondering what she really thinks.

A customer · 5.0 · September 2025

Soul Oman is an awesome and uplifting spirit. After the original outline had been approved and made ready; I determined that I was uncomfortable with the focus of the book. After a little back and forth about the new target audience, and with no fuss, muss, whine or complaints, Soul immediately began to produce a new outline and great manuscript. I can testify that Soul Oman clearly is: straight forward, principled, upright, conscientious, forthright, candid and ethical.... It is very refreshing to work with this wonderful human being!

It's been a good cooperation with Soul. In case of more projects on the same projects on the same subjects, I would probably hire her again.

A customer · 4.5 · September 2023

Soul was a pleasure to work with. We had a time zone difference so that did cause some delays. But she was very responsive. She wrote in an excellent tone that the reader would like to learn about the health issue. The tone was very encouraging to the reader. I did have to correct some grammar and punctuation issues in each chapter. I appreciate all the follow up with the many technical issues we had with the TUW site.

Soul has been a joy to work with and she has truly written the book that I commissioned TUV and Soul to write. She has also been responsive, even if I sometimes found it difficult to clearly communicate how I really wanted it done. I have no problem recommending her and I will definitely be coming back to Soul for my next project.

Soul delivered before the expected date for the outline and it the nail on the head with everything I was looking for. I am excited to see the final project.

A customer · 5.0 · January 2023

I love Soul, she was just such a pleasure to work with. She took my life experiences and turned it into a cohesive easy to understand book! Exactly what I was looking for. In this day and age there is so much info out there, I just wanted something that was simple, condensed and easy for the layman to understand and use, like I was at the beginning of my journey. I am considering doing a sequel to this book, and if I do, SOul will be the first writer I look for!. Soul is a great communicator, lets know whats shes doing and what direction she is headed with the material. Open to feedback and willingly makes changes based on that feedback. She has a wonderful writing style that seems very conversational, which drew me into the material.

A customer · 5.0 · November 2022

Wonderful Writer!This writer exceeded my expectations! I highly recommend this writer!
