Women. Get us into a room and we can talk for hours. About relationships, about faith…about motherhood! There’s always echoes of laughter and nods of appreciation, sighs that say, “At least I’m not alone in that!” Gasps that say, “No way!” The first Resolution Ladies Forum was not only an opportunity to learn about communication skills,...
You know when your partner asks you, “What’s wrong?” and you say, “Nothing?” I know men reading this feel me! When someone knows you in and out, whether or not you’re sulking, even the slightest change in your mood and demeanor tells them you’re not yourself. Sometimes that change is brought about by thoughts you...
So my week of possibilites hit a bit of a glitch ? Yesterday, 24th January, I had a day that started well but didn’t end too great. While I was able take my son to the Nairobi National Museum for the first time and get in some R&R with a close friend, on my way...
I tried out for many things before landing my current gig as News Anchor/Media Personality. I auditioned to be a Radio Presenter (that eventually worked out)! I took a course in counselling psychology because I’ve always been fascinated by human emotions. But then one day, I’m not sure if this was because someone loosely suggested...
I’ll never forget standing in front of a dozen or so schools, giving a summary of my final argument during the inter-school debate competition in Mombasa. The year was 1998.

Let me begin this post by thanking all of you immensely! In overwhelmed by the love and birthday wishes, from friends, family, fans. As I turn a year older I’m beginning to reflect more (if you’ve been following my posts you know what I mean!) and become for accepting of myself. It’s liberating and daunting...
I’m lying in bed, bloated, restless. I shouldn’t have nibbled on that plate of fries, then again I shouldn’t have indulged in a lot of things I’ve been eating lately. Emotional eating, they call it. An increase in food intake in response to negative emotions. So where exactly is this stemming from? I feel like...
By Eddie Ndichu It has been over 14 months but I remember the day vividly. I was escorted to the doctors changing rooms to wear pair of scrubs. I was shaking with nerves. I couldn’t feel my entire body as I changed. The thoughts going through my head were that this is really happening and...
We all want success. We all want to be better versions of ourselves. But how many of us are hungry and foolish enough to get there? To build our legacy? To prove the naysayers wrong? For the title of this post I’ve quoted Steve Jobs, co-founder, chairman and CEO of Apple Inc. So it is...
