Inside a life of a 24-year-old pregnant and unemployed woman

If you are a social media freak like me, you know the most trendy thing happening now is people sharing their morning routines and daily lives with us through vlogs.

I have been watching and enjoying different vlogs from different people, but Siphesihle Tshabalala’s one caught me by surprise.

Siphesihle is a 24-year-old unemployed woman who is currently pregnant, taking to TikTok, she shared a vlog showing us what she gets up to on a normal day.

Her raw content and personal life sharing video received attention especially because she mentioned she is unemployed yet has a teaching qualification.

Her worth-watching vlog had many young stars relating to her situation and were eager to see how other people who had been in a similar situation dealt with it.

With her expecting a baby soon, people under her comment section thought she was brave to actually show everything. Some applauded her for waking up and doing her daily routine, which included jogging.

In her vlog’s voiceover, she says, “I have decided that one way of keeping myself sane each and every day is by documenting my life basically showing you girls what I get up to on a daily basis.”

“I make sure I get through each and every day without losing my mind or having mental breakdowns. Most unemployed people go through that merely because of life’s hardships on a daily basis and trying to make it through the day,” she concluded.

Her comment section was filled with many people giving her a thumbs up for keeping herself and the baby healthy. Some gave her hope that her breakthrough is to come, it is just a matter of time.
