In addition to being an actor with an impressive resume filled with award-winning TV productions, Nozuko Ncayiyane has added life coaching to the list.

She started her journey wanting to merge teaching and acting.

While the wellness space is filled with turmeric recipes, fitness junkies, and all the buzzwords that come with taking care of oneself, she instead went into a space where she could mentor young women and help them find their purpose.

Speaking to News24,the actor said pursuing life coaching was an organic decision.

In 2022, shejuggled her studies at Subconscious Frequency Academy with the demands of being an actor in Diep City.

"I've always known that I like teaching; hence, when I got to Skeem Saam, I was studying teaching, but I've never really understood how I [can] merge teaching and acting. I then thought it would be lovely to do facilitating or life coaching so that I still get to exercise my passion for teaching. For years, I just started manifesting ideas of doing life coaching until I heard about subconscious frequency, an educational platform where they teach you to become a life coach. I did the course for three months, and then I got the certificate; I got certified to be a life coach to give guidance and mentorship."

The wellness business applies to everyone; life coaching [I have] been able to merge teaching and acting but also consciousness, awakening people and teaching them about who they are and finding their purpose. So, that is the kind of work I do mostly with young women to give guidance and mentorship.

Feeling a lot of joy

Reflecting on this year and all her milestones, Ncayiyane said the chapter she is in is one where she is whole.

"I'm feeling a lot of joy. I am exactly where I need to be. However, there are some things that I've always known: that I will be here.

"It has always been inside of me. I've had doubts and doubted a lot throughout the years. And I can only say that now I'm at a point where I feel like I am where I need to be, and like I was supposed to be an actor and that I am an actor. I didn't even believe for years that I was an actor and that I could act."
