Praise for Finding Balance
In this memoir Naledi opens her heart as she shares the tear-jerking story of her own journey through divorce. At the same time she provides professional tools to navigate the process- from divorce to complete healing, taking the reader through the seasons of grief. Very skilfully articulated, making for a very good read. (Judge Vuyo Noncembu – SA Court Judge)
What I love about this book is that it doesn’t romanticize divorce, nor does it condemn the journey that led there. It simply invites us with compassion and clarity to tell ourselves the truth, and then choose ourselves. I used to regret getting married, but this book reminded me that every chapter in life is part of the journey back home to myself. It affirmed that I’m not alone, not broken, and not defined by my past. I’m evolving and I am enough. If you’re standing at a crossroads, this book will meet you with wisdom, grace, and the reminder that healing is possible and so is joy on the other side. (Nonhli Sephula – Founder of Risima Foundation)
The magic in Naledi Mqhayi’s memoir is its relatability. Through a sincere and vulnerable account of her journey, she affirms women and offers practical tips for before, during and after divorce. A transformative read. (Nobantu Masebelanga – Liberty HR Executive/Clinical Psychologist)
Life is indeed a story of many chapters. The author also gives hope to women who struggle with juggling work, family life, and self- care after a divorce as juggling is not an easy task, but it is possible to find balance. Finding balance is your own personal assignment and basic form of contentment. (Nwabisa Hexana – Attorney & Author)
The author is authentic in her vulnerability, she inspires hope, while exposing the dim reality that comes with divorce. I highly recommend it for all women not only those going through or who have gone through divorce. It is a handbook for any woman who seeks to embark on or is on a journey of self-discovery. (Dr Nomonde Mqhayi – Medical Doctor)
. The book resonates effectively with those women dreaming of their marriages and those already going through the divorce. I fully agree with your statement that healing follows a natural progression and that we go through seasons. Nothing is impossible if we put more to life, despite the odds that we go through. I thoroughly enjoyed reading your book. (Professor Zethu Nkosi – Head of schools in UNISA)
Her writing is beautifully layered, compassionate without pity, instructional without prescriptiveness. From courtroom realities to emotional hurricanes, from spiritual reflection to financial rebirth, Naledi covers the full terrain of rebuilding a life on new terms. Every chapter feels like a gentle hand reaching toward you in the dark, offering reassurance that you’re not alone. This book is not only timely, it is necessary. In a society that often silences divorced women or casts them in shame, Finding Balance boldly affirms: You are not broken. You are becoming. (Gcinashe Gcanga, Author & Self-Love Ambassador)
Naledi also tackles a subject many avoid – finances after divorce. Her practical “roadmap” for navigating financial life independently was eye-opening. It’s not just about budgeting, but about reclaiming financial confidence and freedom. This was especially meaningful for me, as regaining control over money is a huge part of rebuilding after a major life change. I would wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone navigating life after divorce or any personal upheaval. Finding Balance is a reminder that healing is possible, that self-love is non-negotiable, and that every season has a purpose. (Bulelwa Daku – Nurse)
The intersect between psychology and lived experiences has birthed this timely and relatable tool that offers a lifeline to someone going through the motions of a broken relationship. As you read this book, may you experience the peace of knowing that you are not alone, the joy of rewriting and retelling your own narrative and the freedom of finding balance throughout the seasons of your life. Take your time turning the pages, this is not just a read but spiritual journey of finding balance! (Rev Pumla Nzimande – Presiding Bishop of The Methodist Church of Southern Africa)
