As Valentine's Day approaches, many of us are taking a moment to reflect on our love lives. And for women who are looking for something more from their romantic relationships, a new guide is hitting the shelves that promises to bring back some classic, old-school advice. In her second book, "Kitchen Wisdom: What We Hate to Hear but Need to Know About Men and Romance," integral coach and author Nokulinda Mkhize offers readers a refreshing dose of wisdom to help navigate the often confusing and challenging world of love.
Mkhize draws on her extensive experience as a sangoma, or healer, to share valuable insights and lessons that she has learned from working with countless women who are struggling to find love. She identified a common pattern among these women – they were trying to balance being successful modern women while also looking for a loving and supportive partner. However, in the modern world of romance, they were experiencing heartache and disappointment.
"I have observed in my 17 years as a sangoma that many women are struggling to find a decent and nurturing adult romantic relationship with a man," Mkhize shared in a press release. "They often feel torn between their desire for success and independence and their longing for a meaningful and fulfilling relationship."
Mkhize's book reminds women of the tried-and-true principles of love and dating that were once ingrained in Diasporic communities. She emphasizes the importance of taking back one's power and not compromising on one's values and needs in the pursuit of love. According to Mkhize, the modern rules of love have only led to loneliness and disappointment. She encourages women to embrace old-fashioned yet timeless principles such as "Never Chase A Man" and "Do Not Do Wife Things Before You Are The Wife."
"Kitchen Wisdom" also highlights the importance of community among women. Mkhize reminds us that friendship and support are vital in striking a balance in life. She believes that by coming together and sharing our experiences, we can learn from the wisdom of our mothers and grandmothers and apply it to our modern lives.
Nokulinda Mkhize is not only a sangoma and author, but also a mother of four, speaker, and accredited integral coach. She combines her knowledge and experience in African cultures, Indigenous spiritual practices, and academic expertise to offer a unique perspective on love and relationships. Her first book, "Ancestory: Ancient Lessons for Modern Life," was published in 2022 and received critical acclaim.
In addition to her book, Mkhize also hosts workshops and events to share her knowledge and teachings. For those in Johannesburg, South Africa, she is hosting a special Galentine's date to celebrate the launch of "Kitchen Wisdom."
"Kitchen Wisdom" is now available for pre-order and can be downloaded on Amazon Kindle. This guide is a must-read for career-driven women, hopeless romantics, and anyone looking for love without playing games. It offers a refreshing and empowering perspective on love and reminds us to listen to the wisdom of our ancestors.
