About Dance With Change
Background
Dr. Khutso Madubanya is the founder of the Dance With Change initiative. Originally from South Africa, she has lived in 8 countries and is a mother of 3—including a set of twins. Her life has been shaped by a series of unconventional marriages and divorces, as well as a diverse array of career pursuits. She embraces the title of “international unicorn” to reflect her rich global experiences and the sense of never quite fitting into traditional societal norms.
These experiences make her a master change navigator.
After several decades of life, she told a new friend the other day, she feels like a cat - she has literally lived and survived several lives. She has reinvented herself personally and professionally quite a few times and has learned how to be versatile in any situation - dance with whatever life throws at her!
She is keen to share her journey and learnings with anyone who is paralyzed by the fear of change. She has developed a systematic step-by-step program that helps individuals push past fear, reinvent themselves into their authentic selves, and create their dream lives no matter what curveballs arise in their way!
A passionate dancer, runner, yogi and traveler, her mantra is, we all hate it but we all have to do it, so we might as well dance with it!

Books
Just launched No More Free Passes (Winter 2025)!!! This mini e-book is a part-memoir, part-manifesto that builds on the Dance With Change™ philosophy to confront the modern myth of strength. In this book, Dr. Khutso Madubanya boldly exposes how hyper-independence—especially among women and mothers—has become a quiet form of self-erasure. Through personal insight and cultural critique, she invites readers to reclaim connection, worth, and power that no longer depends on “doing it all.”
Dancing With Change (Spring 2026) elaborately introduces Dr. Khutso Madubanya’s P.I.V.O.T. Method™—a simple, powerful framework for navigating life’s transitions with agility, clarity, and agency. Through real stories and practical tools, it helps readers stop fearing change and start moving with it - what she calls "dancing with change".
Podcast Series: Dance With Change
Every other week, join Dr. Khutso Madubanya for candid, heart-centered conversations about life’s many transitions. In each episode of Dancing With Change, Dr. Madubanya explores the full spectrum of transformation — from relationships (marriage, divorce, and everything in between) to career pivots, relocations, aging, and the everyday shifts that shape who we become.
At the heart of every discussion is one purpose: to help you navigate whatever change you’re facing with confidence and clarity.
This isn’t a lecture — it’s a dialogue. Your voice, your story, and your reflections matter just as much as hers. Come dance with change — one conversation at a time.
