Throughout the series, Mkongi aimed at positively showing viewers how successful people structure their lives to ensure productivity and fulfilment.
She also shared her own morning routine which involved an early wake-up call of 5am, tidying up, meditation and a gym session before starting her day with any work or set calls.
The trio also shared opinions on mental health, an issue that is really close to Mkongi’s heart, since she openly disclosed late last year that she suffers from a mental illness.
After the first episode aired, Mkongi tweeted, “I can’t believe you guys like the web series. My stomach is burning from the nerves I had. My anxiety made a young come back but wow thank you guys. The response is amazing. Y’all are amazing man”.
South African actress, presenter and voice artist is best known for her roles as Ashanti on SABC 2's Keeping Score, Portia on Mzansi Magic’s Nkululeko and currently Nthabiseng on Isithembiso.
