Pabi Moloi sits down for a candid Off The Clock conversation that explores her personal rhythms, career journey, and future aspirations.
She begins by reflecting on sleep and stress management, noting her sensitivity to world events and the need for spiritual practice, meditation, and exercise to reset. A childhood story of being steered away from sports and toward performance shaped her early passion for theatre and public speaking. Today, blackout curtains and eight hours of sleep safeguard her cognitive sharpness for broadcasting.
On personal life, she describes exercise and dance as both catharsis and spirituality, and motherhood as central to her schedule. Her son’s independence brings humor to family life. Career-wise, she recounts filming her first commercial at age three, presenting on KTV, and later winning a competitive radio audition at 18 that launched her into professional broadcasting. Radio enabled her to shift from children’s TV to adult audiences, and she soon returned to television with stronger credibility.
Travel through Africa with corporate television work broadened her perspective Kenya, Ghana, Zambia, and especially Nigeria, where she admired the drive around “human capital” despite logistical challenges. She shares her adventurous streak, from driving an Audi R8 on the track to shark-cage diving, hiking Table Mountain, and walking the Great Wall of China.
Her stress philosophy centers on controlling only what can be controlled, carefully managing commitments, and relying on prayer and gym time for balance. Looking ahead, Pabi values freedom, time, voice, and creative choice above predefined roles. She hints at future study in sociology or psychology, more travel, and potential new media ventures. The episode closes with reflections on leadership, parenting, and managing stress in high-responsibility roles.
