Zan-Marie Terblanche balances hospital shifts with triathlon training - How does she do it all?
Up at 3h30 every day to train before she clocks into work at 6h30 often only getting home after 7pm, balancing nursing and competitive sport requires sacrifice and planning. Her weeks are filled with swimming, cycling, running, strength training and recovery sessions, all carefully arranged around demanding hospital shifts. Working with people who are ICU bound and fighting for another day made her realise that you need to grab life by the horns and do the things you always thought you can't.

Why You Remember Pop Lyrics, but Forget Your Work Emails 🧠We unpack the BRAIN With Neurologist Dr Ben Van Niekerk
Ever wonder why you can perfectly recall a commercial jingle from 1998, but completely forget to reply to a crucial work email from 9:00 AM today? The Good Morning Greakfast sat down with renowned neurologist Dr Ben Van Niekerk to explore the staggering mechanics of human memory. It turns out, your brain isn't running out of space. In fact, while an average laptop holds about 250 gigabytes to one terabyte of data, the human brain boasts a jaw-dropping storage capacity of 2.5 million gigabytes. That is enough space to hold nearly one million songs! So, if our internal hard drive is that massive, why does it prioritize the nitty-gritties over our daily to-do lists? Dr Van Niekerk explains down how the brain fills its vast space, why emotional triggers and novelty keep useless memories alive for decades, and the scientific strategies you can use to "force-quit" the background noise and make space for what truly matters today.

Beat the Bug: Dr Chantelle van der Bijl’s Guide surviving flu season
Many people believe that loading up on Vitamin C creates an impenetrable shield against illness. Dr van der Bijl gently corrects this common misconception. "Vitamin C supports immune function, but it is not a cure-all," she explains. "Taking massive doses once you are already sick will not miraculously stop a cold. True immunity is built through consistent, daily habits." Dr Chantelle van der Bijl, is a specialist family physician, she is a mom herself, working full-time and trying to juggle it all in between, makes her relatable to us all.

An Unexpected Musical Mashup - Spoegwolf's Danie on collaborating with the Kaptein
On paper, alternative rock and mainstream Afrikaans pop might seem like opposite ends of the spectrum. However, Danie explained to the breakfast team that the collaboration felt entirely natural. Danie shared behind-the-scenes stories about how the track came together, noting that Kurt’s legendary vocal energy brought a completely fresh dynamic to Spoegwolf’s signature poetic sound.
