But what happens when the life you move into leaves little room for you to be yourself?In Part 2 of Lisa Gaitho’s story, we pick up where we left off: Lisa is back in Kenya, unsure of what to do next, when she meets a boyfriend and decides to move to Nigeria. What follows is a very different life from the one she grew up knowing. Living with her boyfriend’s family, Lisa encounters unfamiliar cultural expectations, struggles with the pressure to conform, and begins to feel increasingly disconnected from herself.Eventually, she returns to Kenya, where her search for belonging takes another unexpected turn. She becomes deeply involved in Christianity, only to begin questioning some of the beliefs she had embraced.This part of Lisa’s story explores relationships, identity, faith and what happens when finding your place in the world starts to feel like losing yourself.This is Part 2 of Lisa’s three-part story.

  They Love Bomb You, Then Break You Down: Understanding Narcissistic Abuse | For Mannerless Women 17.09.2026 1ชม. 4นาที

  What happens when the person who once made you feel like the centre of their world becomes the person who makes you question your worth?The constant attention. The big promises. The feeling that you've finally found someone who truly understands you. And then, slowly, the affection changes. The criticism begins. Your boundaries are tested. You find yourself holding on to the person they were at the beginning.In Part 1 of this conversation on For Mannerless Women, Adelle sits down with psychologist and trauma therapist Perpetua Chomba to unpack how narcissistic abuse can begin, how it can escalate, and why recognising and leaving a harmful relationship can be so difficult. They explore love bombing, future faking, gaslighting and the cycle of devaluing, discard and hoovering. They also discuss how inconsistent affection can strengthen attachment, why setting boundaries matters, and how our earliest experiences of love can shape the relationships we find ourselves in as adults.In this episode, we explore:Love bombing and future faking: when intensity is mistaken for intimacyHow someone responds when you set a boundaryGaslighting, silent treatment and emotional manipulationFinancial abuse, isolation and other forms of controlThe cycle of devaluing, discard and hooveringNarcissistic patterns in family relationshipsTrauma bonds and why leaving can feel so difficultHow the highs and lows of a relationship can become familiarLearning to recognise consistent love without abandoning yourselfIn Part 2, Adelle and Perpetua explore healing from narcissistic abuse and answer questions sent in by the For Mannerless Women community.CONNECT WITH PERPETUA CHOMBA Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/therapist_perpetuaTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@therapistperpetua RESOURCES RECOMMENDED BY PERPETUA The covert Passive aggressive narcissist by debbie mirza bookWill I ever be good enough healing daughters of narcissistic mothers by karyl McBrideBoundaries by Dr henry cloudJOIN THE LEGALLY CLUELESS AFRICA COMMUNITYWebsite: https://www.legallycluelessafrica.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/legallycluelessafrica/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@legallycluelessafrica YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/LegallyCluelessYoutubeSHARE YOUR STORY https://forms.gle/kMn7Wae5N563JFGQ8 If this conversation helps you put language to something you've experienced, share it with another woman who may need it.Subscribe to For Mannerless Women wherever you get your podcasts so you don't miss Part 2.#ForMannerlessWomen #NarcissisticAbuse #Narcissism #LoveBombing #TraumaBonds #AfricanWomen #LegallyCluelessAfrica

  Why Do We Hate Women We’re Secretly Jealous Of? | Mid Week Tease 16.09.2026 27นาที

  Have you ever disliked a woman who hadn't actually done anything to you? Maybe her confidence irritated you, her success made you uncomfortable, or you found yourself picking apart her life without really understanding why. What if the problem isn't her, but what her life brings up in you?In this week's episode of The Mid Week Tease, Adelle Onyango unpacks jealousy, envy, and the uncomfortable ways comparison can turn into shame, insecurity, and sometimes hostility toward other women. We explore the difference between jealousy and envy, why another woman's success can make us question our own worth, and how the expectations placed on women can make us see one another as competition. Most importantly, Adelle shares seven practical ways to navigate jealousy without projecting it onto other women. Because feeling jealous doesn't make you a bad person. But what you do with that feeling matters.In this episode, we explore:The psychological difference between jealousy and envy.How comparison can trigger shame, fear, and insecurity.Why we sometimes criticise women whose lives reflect something we desire.How to celebrate a friend while navigating your own disappointment.Seven practical ways to understand and manage jealousy.How to turn comparison into a better understanding of what you want for yourself.CONNECT WITH LEGALLY CLUELESS AFRICAWebsite: https://legallycluelessafrica.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/legallycluelessafrica/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LegallyCluelessAfrica New episodes of The Mid Week Tease every Wednesday on the Legally Clueless Africa channels.#TheMidWeekTease #LegallyCluelessAfrica #Jealousy #Envy #WomenSupportingWomen #SelfAwareness

  She Quit School, Moved Countries & Questioned Everything She Believed | Legally Clueless Ep 395 13.09.2026 41นาที

  How do you figure out what you want to do with your life when nothing seems to quite fit?In Part 1 of Lisa Gaitho’s story, she takes us from a playful childhood growing up in Nairobi West to a high school experience she desperately wanted to escape and into years of trying to figure out where she belonged. Lisa tried journalism. She tried hotel and restaurant management. She eventually found culinary school, which took her from Nairobi to South Africa. But when she returned home ready to begin her career, the reality she encountered made her question whether this was the life she wanted after all. Suddenly, she was back home watching the people around her move forward while she wrestled with one overwhelming question: What am I actually doing with my life? Lisa speaks candidly about the pressure she put on herself to have everything figured out, feeling like she was wasting time, and how dark that period of uncertainty became. And just when she has no idea what comes next, she meets someone who will take her life in a completely unexpected direction. This is Part 1 of Lisa’s three-part story.CONTENT NOTE: This episode includes a brief discussion of suicidal ideation.Connect with Lisa Gaitho: https://www.instagram.com/lisagaithoHave a story you’d like to share on Legally Clueless?Submit your story here:https://forms.gle/JMrQD55jcrazKFKX7CONNECT WITH LEGALLY CLUELESS AFRICAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/legallycluelessafrica/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@legallycluelessafricaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/legallycluelessafrica/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@LegallyCluelessAfrica

  It’s Never Too Late To Start Again | For Mannerless Women 10.09.2026 54นาที

  What if the life you really want begins after the age you were told you should have everything figured out?In this episode of For Mannerless Women, Adelle sits down with Sally Sawe, Co-Founder and COO of The Partnership Agency, for a beautiful conversation about ageing, starting again and giving yourself permission to build a life that is entirely your own. Approaching 40, Sally walked away from a long-term relationship and began questioning the definition of a “full life” she had inherited. Did it have to include marriage? Children? Could she define it differently for herself?Then at 53, after 20 years at WPP Scangroup, Sally made another huge pivot: she co-founded her own advertising agency. What began with five people working from a garden has since grown to a team of more than 100.In this conversation, we talk about:• Starting again at any age• Why ageing can bring more confidence, not less• Being happily single and child-free• Defining a full life outside marriage and motherhood• Leaving relationships that no longer serve you• Learning to enjoy your own company• Building self-trust and listening to your inner voice• Starting a business in your 50s• Beginning again after 20 years in one career• Letting go of ego when you have to start small• Why experience becomes an advantage as you age• Giving yourself permission instead of waiting for it from othersSally’s Mannerless Message is simple: “Be as ungovernable as you can be.”Give yourself permission to change your mind, begin again and live your life fully.CONNECT WITH SALLY SAWE The Partnership Agency:https://www.instagram.com/thepartnershipagencyhttps://thepartnershipafrica.com/ Sally Sawe:https://www.instagram.com/sally.sawe CONNECT WITH LEGALLY CLUELESS AFRICA Sign up for our newsletter:legallycluelessafrica.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/legallycluelessafrica/ Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/legallycluelesspodcast TikTok:www.tiktok.com/@legallycluelessafrica For Mannerless Women is a Legally Clueless Africa production creating space for honest, shame-free conversations about African womanhood.

  You Left. So Why Do You Still Want to Go Back? | Mid Week Tease 08.09.2026 28นาที

  Leaving a harmful relationship is one thing. Staying gone can be another battle entirely.Inspired by Ann’s story on the Legally Clueless podcast, this week Adelle explores what it actually means to choose yourself while trying to leave an emotionally abusive or harmful relationship and in the days, weeks and months after you’ve walked away. Because going back doesn’t make you weak.In this episode, we unpack why you can know someone is hurting you and still miss them, the role attachment and intermittent reinforcement can play in keeping us connected to harmful relationships, and why shame isn’t a useful tool for helping women leave.Adelle also shares 8 practical ways to keep choosing yourself, including therapist Atsede Scarseth’s advice to create a “reality list,” use a 24-hour rule before making contact, remove easy access to an ex, ask yourself what you actually miss, and allow grief to exist without interpreting it as a sign that you should go back.Plus: why you need a “don’t go back alone” system, how replacing the routines of a relationship can help you rebuild your life, and why returning to someone who hurt you can be treated as information rather than evidence that you’ve failed.In this episode:• Why leaving a harmful relationship can be so difficult• Why going back does not make you weak• Trauma bonds and intermittent reinforcement• Making a reality list for moments of nostalgia• The 24-hour rule when you want to reach out• Removing easy access and creating boundaries• Asking yourself what you actually miss• Why missing someone doesn't mean leaving was a mistake• Building a support system that doesn't shame you• Replacing the routines your relationship once occupied• What to ask yourself if you do go back• Rebuilding self-trust after a harmful relationshipTherapist mentioned:Atsede Scarseth:https://www.tiktok.com/@atsedescarseth If you are experiencing abuse, coercive control, stalking or threats, please consider creating a safety plan and reaching out to a trusted person or domestic violence support service. Leaving an abusive relationship can sometimes increase risk, and you do not have to navigate that process alone.Keep up with Legally Clueless Africa:Website: https://legallycluelessafrica.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/legallycluelessafrica/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LegallyCluelessTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@legallycluelessafrica New episodes of the Mid Week Tease every Wednesday.

  After eight years of loving someone, what happens when you finally find the answers to the questions you’ve been asking all along?In the final part of Ann Wachera’s story, we pick up after another painful breakup with the man Ann once believed she would marry.Ann tries to move forward. She blocks him. Unblocks him. Goes to therapy. And eventually, the two find themselves back in each other’s lives.Then one day, he comes to Ann’s apartment. When he steps away to move his car, he leaves his phone behind.Ann knows the password. She opens WhatsApp.And what she finds forces her to confront the truth about the relationship she had spent eight years trying to understand. There are multiple women, including women Ann had questioned him about while they were together. There are conversations, photographs and eventually admissions that make Ann question not only who this man was, but who she had become inside this relationship.In this final chapter, Ann reflects on betrayal, waiting until marriage, the difficulty of letting go, the questions she still has, and what healing looks like when part of you still loves the person who hurt you. Ann’s story also leaves us with a bigger question: what does it mean to choose yourself when you have spent years choosing someone who repeatedly did not choose you?

  Your Body Was Never The Problem | For Mannerless Women 03.09.2026 52นาที

  What if the shame you carry about your body was never yours to begin with? In this episode of For Mannerless Women, Adelle sits down with Connie Tipis, clinical psychologist and Co-Founder & CEO of Double Dee’s Lingerie Kenya & Uganda for a conversation about body shame, body confidence and learning to come home to ourselves. Connie shares how growing up fuller-busted changed the way she moved through the world. She stopped swimming, covered her body and learnt very early that having breasts could attract judgement, assumptions and shame.That experience would eventually lead her to co-found Double Dee’s and spend the next decade having intimate conversations with women about our bodies from inside fitting rooms across East Africa. Adelle and Connie talk about the ways girls learn to hide their bodies, the striking differences Connie has observed between Kenyan and Ugandan women, wearing beautiful underwear for yourself, mirror work, taking pictures of the body you have today, and why caring for your body can look very different when the goal becomes health and longevity rather than making yourself acceptable to other people.IN THIS EPISODE:– How body shame begins for African girls– Growing up fuller-busted and being sexualised early– Why body shame can stop girls from participating in sports– How our upbringing shapes our relationship with our bodies– What Connie has observed about women in Kenya vs Uganda– African traditions around women’s bodies, sexuality and pleasure– Wearing lingerie for yourself, not somebody else– Mirror work and learning to actually look at your body– Why you should take pictures of yourself now– Choosing strength, health and longevity over appearance– Connie’s reminder to become a “selfless, selfish woman”RESOURCES MENTIONED:Double Dee’s Lingerie — Kenya & Ugandahttps://doubledees.co.ke/The Sex Lives of African Women by Nana Darkoa Sekyiamahhttps://www.darkoathewriter.com/sex-lives-of-african-women Seeking Sexual Freedom by Nana Darkoa Sekyiamahhttps://www.darkoathewriter.com/seeking-sexual-freedomShare this episode with a mannerless or almost-mannerless woman in your life.Follow Legally Clueless Africa and subscribe to For Mannerless Women wherever you get your podcasts. #ForMannerlessWomen #AfricanWomen #BodyImage #BodyShame #BodyConfidence #AfricanPodcast

  10 Of The Worst Pieces Of Advice Women Are Given | Mid Week Tease 01.09.2026 35นาที

  This week on The Mid Week Tease, Adelle is looking at 10 of the worst pieces of advice women are given, in her opinion.From being told to reduce your financial ambitions so you don’t intimidate a man, to submitting for the sake of peace, enduring because “marriage is hard,” putting your career second, maintaining your appearance so a man doesn’t cheat, and being told that ultimately, every woman needs a man. Some of this advice is so familiar that we rarely stop to ask where it came from or who it actually benefits.In this episode, Adelle explores how much of the advice women inherit about love, marriage, motherhood, money and ambition can quietly ask us to shrink, serve, endure and perform in order to fit comfortably into patriarchal expectations. We get into:Why women are still encouraged to make themselves smaller so men don’t feel intimidated.The difference between respect and submission in relationships.Why “keep your marriage private” can sometimes become dangerous advice.How “men are just like that” shifts responsibility from men onto women.The invisible labour hidden inside the idea that women are “the heart of the home.”Why female endurance is so often romanticised as strength.Why a man's fidelity is not a woman's responsibility to manage.The expectation that a woman’s career should be the flexible one once family enters the picture.Why motherhood should be a choice not an inevitable destination for every woman.And the bigger question underneath all of it: what choices would women make if having a man wasn’t treated as one of the greatest validations of our lives?Adelle also reflects on some of the advice she received while married and asks whether some of what previous generations passed down as wisdom may actually have been survival strategies for navigating systems women did not design. Because we can honour the women who survived using those strategies without deciding that we have to inherit them.Connect With Us:Website:https://legallycluelessafrica.com/Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/legallycluelessafrica/YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@LegallyCluelessAfricaNew episodes of The Mid Week Tease are out every Wednesday.

  I Thought I’d Marry Him. Then I Learned the Truth PART 2 | Legally Cueless Ep 393 30.08.2026 58นาที

  What happens when you see the red flags, ask the questions and even find some of the answers but you’re still not ready to let go of the future you imagined with someone?In Part 2 of Ann’s story, we pick up after Ann discovers the first lie in a relationship she believes is leading to marriage. As the relationship continues, Ann and her partner move in together and begin imagining a future. But alongside those plans come more questions. Other women. Stories that don’t quite add up. Moments that leave Ann searching for answers and wondering whether she can trust what she’s being told.Ann takes us through moving in together, investigating one of the women she suspects is connected to her partner, walking away from the relationship, finding her footing in her career, and eventually finding her way back to him. Years into their relationship, they begin seriously talking about marriage and the life they want to build together. And then, seemingly out of nowhere, he tells Ann he has lost interest in her.In this episode, Adelle also shares some of your responses to the question: What’s one lesson your 30s have given you so far? and teases the conversations we’ll be having at For Mannerless Women Live about identity, love, friendship, career, boundaries, starting over and learning to choose yourself.This is Part 2 of Ann’s three-part story.

  How Much Of Yourself Have You Abandoned For Love? | For Mannerless Women 27.08.2026 40นาที

  What happens when loving someone slowly becomes abandoning yourself?In this episode of For Mannerless Women, Adelle Onyango sits down with businesswoman, creative and MC Dushy Kuria for an honest conversation about divorce, relationships, therapy, self-worth and finding your way back to yourself.For the first time, Dushy speaks publicly about her divorce, from what led her into marriage at 26, to the moment she realised that if someone was going to choose her, it had to be her. They unpack the ways women can be conditioned to confuse love with endless sacrifice, why chaos can feel familiar when you haven't experienced calm love, and how low self-esteem can shape the relationships we choose, even when we appear confident on the outside.Dushy also shares the messier side of healing after divorce: partying, dating, missing her marriage, trying again, going to therapy and learning that knowing better doesn't immediately mean doing better. And eventually, finding her way home to herself. In this conversation:Why women can confuse love with self-abandonmentDushy's journey through marriage and divorceSearching for safety through romantic relationshipsThe pressure of being a firstborn daughterConfidence vs. self-esteemWhy chaos can feel like loveWhat therapy taught Dushy about why she stayedThe messy, nonlinear reality of healingRebuilding self-trust after a relationshipLearning to leave relationships soonerFinding safety within yourselfRediscovering the parts of yourself you lost in loveLetting go of the need to be chosenWhat healthy love and marriage mean to Dushy nowDushy also shares Maya Angelou's Still I Rise as her Mannerless Message, a powerful reminder of our capacity to rise, rebuild and reclaim ourselves.CONNECT WITH DUSHY:https://www.instagram.com/dushykuriaCONNECT WITH LEGALLY CLUELESS AFRICA:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/legallycluelessafrica/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@legallycluelessafricaYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LegallyCluelessWebsite: https://www.legallycluelessafrica.com/ Subscribe/follow For Mannerless Women wherever you get your podcasts and share this episode with a woman who might need the reminder: choosing yourself isn't selfish, sometimes, it's how you find your way back home.#ForMannerlessWomen #DushyKuria #SelfAbandonment #ChoosingYourself #HealingAfterDivorce #SelfTrust #Relationships #AfricanWomen #LegallyCluelessAfrica

  The Lies We Tell Ourselves To Stay In Relationships | Mid Week Tease 25.08.2026 22นาที

  Sometimes the hardest part isn't realising a relationship isn't working. It's admitting that you've known for a while.This week on the Mid Week Tease, Adelle unpacks the stories we tell ourselves when we're trying to stay in relationships we've already begun to outgrow: maybe I need to give it more time, maybe I'm expecting too much, but they're a good person, maybe I haven't communicated clearly enough, what if I regret leaving?She explores self-abandonment, the sunk-cost fallacy, our attachment to potential, the difference between intuition and anxiety, and why we sometimes keep asking for another sign when our bodies have been giving us information all along. Plus, a question worth sitting with:If you trusted yourself completely, what would you already know? In this episode:Why “relationships are hard” can keep us tolerating chronic unhappinessFalling in love with someone's potential instead of the relationship you actually haveWhy someone doesn't have to be a bad person for you to leaveThe sunk-cost fallacy and staying because you've already invested yearsWhen communication becomes negotiating against realityListening to your gut without treating every uncomfortable feeling as intuitionWhy fear of what comes after leaving can masquerade as uncertainty about whether to leaveHow self-abandonment slowly erodes self-trustQuestions to ask yourself when you know something isn't workingNew episodes of the Mid Week Tease every Wednesday.JOIN THE LEGALLY CLUELESS COMMUNITYSign up for our newsletter:https://www.legallycluelessafrica.com/Follow Legally Clueless Africa on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/legallycluelessafrica/Follow us on TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@legallycluelessafricaSubscribe to our YouTube channel:https://www.youtube.com/c/LegallyCluelessYoutubeSHARE YOUR STORY WITH USHave a story you’d like to share on the Legally Clueless podcast?

  I Thought I’d Marry Him. Then I Learned the Truth | Legally Clueless Ep 392 23.08.2026 56นาที

  What happens when the beliefs you have about love, marriage and relationships are shaped long before you ever fall in love?In Part 1 of Ann Wachera’s story, Ann takes us back to losing her mum at just seven years old, being raised by her grandparents and the experiences that shaped how she came to understand womanhood, sex, pregnancy and marriage.Years later, at university, Ann meets a man she believes could be the soulmate she has always imagined. What starts as a very sweet campus crush grows into a serious relationship but Ann has always been someone who asks questions, searches for answers and wants to know the truth. So when she hears something about her boyfriend’s past that doesn’t match what he has told her, she goes looking for answers. And she finds her first lie.In this episode, Adelle also shares more about For Mannerless Women Live, happening on 26th September at Trademark Suites at Enaki Town, and teases one of the conversations we’ll be having about what our 30s actually teach us about identity, starting over, boundaries, love, career, motherhood, choosing to be childfree and shame.

  Starting Over in Your 40s: The Life You Didn’t Plan | For Mannerless Women 20.08.2026 1ชม. 3นาที

  Season 6 of For Mannerless Women is here and we're beginning with the brilliant Kaz Lucas.What happens when the life you're living no longer looks like the life women are told we're supposed to want? In this episode, Adelle sits down with Kaz for a deeply honest conversation about divorce in your 40s, grief, loneliness, being childfree, queer womanhood, friendship, community and the courage it takes to build a life outside society's expectations.Kaz opens up about navigating separation and the grief of losing not only a relationship, but the future she thought she would have. She shares why being lonely on her own feels different from being lonely inside a relationship, how she's learning to sit with difficult emotions instead of numbing them, and what it means to come home to yourself even when that journey can feel lonely.They also reflect on losing their mothers, carrying grief through different chapters of adulthood, finding connection with their ancestors, and learning to recognise beauty and magic even while life is difficult. Kaz shares the story behind reopening her pole and movement studio and why she's intentionally creating a shame-free, judgement-free space where women, queer people, Kenyans and Africans can move their bodies, find community and simply be.The conversation also explores the relationships we're taught to prioritise. What happens when we stop placing romantic relationships at the centre of our lives? What could our friendships become if we poured the same intentionality into them? And how do we create community when the structures around us were largely designed for people who followed the conventional path?Kaz's Mannerless Message: "The hardest thing you're ever going to have to do is learn to forgive yourself. Your biggest relationship with any human being is going to be the relationship that you have with yourself.”In this episode:Grief and losing a motherStarting over in your 40sDivorce, separation and the grief of an imagined futureChoosing yourself after a relationship endsBeing childfree in your 40sLoneliness outside conventional womanhood *Queer identity, shame and belongingBuilding intentional female friendshipsLearning to sit with difficult emotionsPole dancing, body connection and shameBuilding community outside traditional structuresCreating safe spaces for African women and queer peopleForgiving yourself and coming home to who you areCONNECT WITH KAZ LUCAS: Website: https://www.kazentertainment.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kazkarenlucasTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kazkarenlucasBIRDS OF PARADISE STUDIO Website: https://www.kazentertainment.com/birdsofparadisepoledancestudioInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/birdsofparadisestudio/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@birdsofparadisestudioFOR MANNERLESS WOMEN LIVE For the first time ever, we're bringing For Mannerless Women off your screen and into a room full of African women.

  What happens when the person you hear most is constantly criticising you? This week on the Mid Week Tease, Adelle unpacks negative self-talk: the cruel, critical and sometimes deeply familiar voice we can mistake for our own truth.

  How to Trust Yourself Again: 7 Ways to Rebuild Self-Trust | Mid Week Tease 12.08.2026 24นาที

  What happens when you stop trusting your own decisions, feelings and instincts?This week on The Mid Week Tease, Adelle unpacks how self-trust can slowly erode, through being constantly second-guessed, people-pleasing, gaslighting, overriding your own needs, breaking promises to yourself, or making a decision that went badly and deciding it means you can't trust yourself anymore.But self-trust isn't about always getting it right.It's about knowing that even when you get something wrong, you trust yourself to listen, learn, adjust and meet yourself on the other side.In this episode, Adelle shares 7 practical ways to rebuild self-trust, including:Keeping small promises to yourselfMaking decisions without always seeking external validationLearning the difference between seeking advice and seeking permissionPaying attention to your internal “no”Giving yourself permission to change your mindTreating mistakes as information instead of evidence against yourselfCreating a record of the times trusting yourself served you wellAnd at the end of the episode, there's a 7-Day Self-Trust Experiment designed to help you actually practise what you've heard.Because self-trust isn't something you think yourself into.It's something you practise yourself into.Catch new episodes of The Mid Week Tease every Wednesday on the Legally Clueless Africa channels.Website: https://legallycluelessafrica.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/legallycluelessafrica/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LegallyCluelessAfrica

  What Being a Woman in Aviation Cost Me | Legally Clueless Ep 390 09.08.2026 49นาที

  What Being a Woman in Aviation Cost Me | Ella’s Story Part 1 What does it take to find your place in an industry that constantly makes you feel like you have something to prove? In Part 1 of Ella’s story, she takes us from her childhood in Western Kenya, through moving between different sides of her family, bullying in school and the years she spent trying to figure out who she wanted to become. Eventually, that search leads her to aviation. Ella shares how she found her way into aeronautics, the scholarships she fought for, the unpaid internships, the pressure to prove herself and what it felt like entering aviation maintenance as one of very few women in the space.Along the way, she also reflects on something deeper: how different environments taught her to become different versions of herself and what happened when she finally found spaces where she could be fully Ella.This is Part 1 of Ella’s story.

  There comes a point where many women stop fearing wrinkles and start fearing what they've been taught wrinkles mean.In this week's Mid Week Tease, Adelle unpacks the stories women inherit about aging, from the belief that our worth has an expiry date to the pressure of ticking invisible life milestones before it's "too late."Drawing on psychology, sociology and personal reflection, this episode explores why so many women experience birthdays with anxiety instead of celebration, and what becomes possible when we begin questioning the narratives we've been handed.In this episode:Why women are taught to tie their worth to youthThe psychology behind self-objectificationThe myth that your best years are behind youWhy there is no deadline for becoming who you areThe unexpected freedom many women discover as they grow olderHow fear of aging may actually be fear of losing social approvalWhy protecting your peace often comes with ageIf you've ever felt like you're running out of time or wondered whether life has already peaked, this conversation is for you.Join us at For Mannerless Women LiveThis conversation doesn't end here.On Saturday, 26th September 2026, we're bringing together incredible women in their 30s, 40s and 50s for an unforgettable live experience exploring womanhood, identity, freedom and everything we're still becoming.Get your tickets here: https://legallycluelessafrica.hustlesasa.shop/products/6a6c829bc020be6c5a128f39Subscribe to our weekly newsletter:https://www.legallycluelessafrica.comFollow Legally Clueless Africa:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/legallycluelessafricaTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@legallycluelessafricaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/legallycluelessafrica

In Part Two of Tanya Nyambura's story, the reality of adulthood collides with everything she believed growing up. After years of academic excellence, Tanya enters the job market expecting her hard work to finally pay off.Instead, she encounters rejection, unemployment, workplace politics, and the unsettling realization that school prepared her for exams but not necessarily for life. As she rebuilds her confidence, Tanya begins asking bigger questions about identity, work, purpose, and what success really means in a rapidly changing world. Her journey ultimately leads her to write The Unemployment Handbook, challenging many of the beliefs we've inherited about employment, self-worth and the future of work.This is Part Two of Tanya's story.In this episode:Entering the job market during COVID-19The emotional toll of unemployment and rejectionWhy school doesn't always prepare us for the workplaceLearning communication, negotiation and professional skills as an adultFreelancing, entrepreneurship and creating multiple income streamsSeparating your identity from your job titleThe inspiration behind The Unemployment HandbookRethinking success in an era of AI and changing careersResources mentioned in this episodeThe Unemployment Handbook by Tanya Nyamburahttps://selar.com/e57zvs2770?currency=KESConnect with Tanyahttps://www.instagram.com/nyambura_tanya/For Mannerless Women LiveEarly Bird Tickets are now live!
