The format

What is Ask Phetso?

Once a month, Phetso opens a live conversation on Zoom built around a single, carefully chosen theme. No slides, no pitch. Just a considered conversation together.

Before the session, participants send in the questions they are genuinely sitting with. Phetso reads them all, notices the patterns, and responds to a selection live, weaving individual questions into the shared ones so the conversation belongs to everyone in the room.

It's less a webinar and more a considered conversation you happen to be invited into.

November 2026 · This month’s conversation

“When You Know What You Want, But You’re Afraid of What It Will Cost You”

Sometimes I know what I want before I am ready to admit it. I can see the direction. I can name what needs to change. But then I begin thinking about what choosing it might cost me: the stability I have worked hard to build, the approval of people I care about, or an identity I have carried for years.

In October, we explored what happens when I know I am capable, but still doubt myself. In November, I want to take that conversation further. What happens when I trust myself enough to acknowledge what I want—but feel afraid of what choosing it might change?

I believe those fears deserve an honest conversation. There are responsibilities to consider, consequences to prepare for, and relationships that matter. There is also a cost to repeatedly postponing something I know matters to me.

Together, we will explore what we already know, what we fear losing, and how to make a considered choice without needing certainty or everyone’s agreement. If there is a decision you have been carrying quietly, I would love to have you in this conversation.

The Knowing

What do I already know that I keep trying not to know?

The Cost

What am I afraid I will lose if I choose what I want? Explore approval, security, belonging, money, identity and relationships, alongside the cost of staying.

The Choice

What does it look like to make a self-trusting decision without needing certainty or everyone’s agreement?

Self-trust does not remove the cost of a decision. It helps me assess that cost honestly, prepare for it, and remain on my own side afterward.

How it works

Three simple steps

  1. 01

    Reserve your seat

    Add your name, email and country. Seats are limited to keep the conversation intimate.

  2. 02

    Submit one question

    If question spots remain, share the one thing you're genuinely wondering about this month's theme — now, or later through your private link, up to 48 hours before the session.

  3. 03

    Join Phetso live

    Come to Zoom, settle in, and listen as the conversation unfolds around the questions in the room.

Submitting a question doesn't guarantee an individual answer. Phetso may group similar questions and speak to the shared themes during the session.

What to expect live

Present, unhurried, and yours

Ask Phetso is designed to be experienced live. Sessions are not recorded, and no replay will be available — that's part of what makes the room feel honest.

  • 90 minutes

    Enough time to go somewhere real, without overstaying.

  • Pre-submitted questions lead

    The conversation is built mostly around the questions sent in beforehand.

  • Read anonymously

    Questions are read without names. Your details are never shown to other attendees.

  • Grouped where they overlap

    Phetso may bring similar questions together and speak to the shared thread.

  • Live questions, if time allows

    The final 10–15 minutes may open for questions from the room.

  • Cameras optional

    Come as you are. Camera on or off is entirely your choice.
