Many of us are programmed to believe that we have to focus on making others happy instead of listening to ourselves because otherwise we're selfish.
But sometimes the only Way is to hear what your intuition and body are telling YOU and to take action accordingly, even if your mind tries to stop you.
This is what Frankie, Zoë, Kate, Mymoena, Rhafiek and Lee-Ann need to do on Suidooster this month.
You've seen the July teasers
HERE, now wrap up warm for these details on six of the lead storylines, followed by a poll at the end:
Wade, Zoë and Angie reach breaking point
Wade and Zoë are trying hard to make their relationship work, but Angie’s pregnancy makes that much easier said than done.
A doctor’s appointment becomes a source of conflict, while a social media storm only adds fuel to the fire.
When Angie is later hospitalised, the fragile peace between the three falls apart completely.
Wade is left wrestling with an impossible situation: how does he balance his love for the woman he wants to spend the rest of his life with, with his instinct to protect his unborn child?
Zoë, meanwhile, becomes increasingly uncertain about where she fits into Wade’s life – and whether this complicated future is still worth fighting for.
A bitter pill for Ruiterbosch
Ava is determined to become the new owner of Aalwyn Apteek, but it soon becomes clear that she is willing to do almost anything to make that dream come true.
Her ambition pushes her deeper into dangerous territory – and Nazeem, as always, is never far from a hidden agenda.
Mymoena starts to suspect that something is very wrong, and the risks surrounding the pharmacy grow bigger by the day.
Then something unthinkable happens, leaving the entire community deeply shaken – and suddenly, everything in Ruiterbosch looks very different.
Bianca and Rhafiek’s feud intensifies
The tension between Bianca and her brother Rhafiek has been building for some time, but in the coming weeks their conflict reaches breaking point.
Siya does his best to restore peace in the family, but brother and sister are both too stubborn, too hurt and too proud to admit their part in the fallout.
Can this family still find a way through the pain, or has too much damage already been done?
Frankie’s future gets complicated
Frankie is forced to make important decisions about her future when a new opportunity at Oos Wes comes her way.
Her father Mike wants to help, but his good intentions are quickly seen as interference.
Frankie is also not being completely honest about what is really going on with her.
In truth, she may unknowingly be on a journey of self-discovery, rethinking her life while trying to keep everyone around her happy.
The past catches up with Kate
Kate’s family history leads her to questions she never thought she would have to ask. What begins as ordinary curiosity about her roots soon becomes something much deeper.
Old photographs, memories and a troubling suspicion send her on an emotional search for the truth.
Kate becomes determined to get answers – even if the truth could have far-reaching consequences for everyone she loves.
Zahra’s arrival spells trouble
Zahra, a family member of Kaashifa's, causes problems almost from the moment she arrives in Ruiterbosch.
Rhafiek is soon far from pleased with her presence, while Lee-Ann becomes suspicious of Zahra’s intentions with Carlo.
It quickly becomes clear that Zahra may not be quite as innocent as she pretends to be – and before long, trouble is brewing.
