- 35 - Speaking up for yourself
For many of us, it is easier to advocate for others than it is to speak up for ourselves. However, when we don't speak up for ourselves, we erode our sense of self-worth.
I share how I am learning how to speak up for myself in the workplace (not an easy feat but I will get there eventually)---

Moving out is an amazing feeling, until you realize that you in this process alone. To be honest, it gets anxious when you remember that you will have to buy things to fill your house, pay rent and fix the holes in your bathroom. Sucks right?
But there is a joy of being able to live under your own roof and throw the “as long as I am under my roof card.”
In this week’s episode, I share my tips on what to do when looking for a house.

You know how someone can decide to cut you off without an explanation, then show up on your door or call you after months? Some may never have the audacity to re-appear. Well... There is a word for it... Ghosting.
To find out more about this topic, I am speaking to Chris Hart, who shares his nuggets of wisdom and why ghosting is never an option when it comes to having those tough conversations.

You have probably heard of a doctor who is a DJ, a writer and a social media expert. You have probably asked yourself, how do they take the time to fill all these shoes and remain extraordinary. I ask myself the same question. Truth is in a competitive world today, having one skill may not cut out for you. Sometimes, you might need to stack them up and keep learning to remain relevant in the society.

Of all the annoyances you can have- like an alarm going on too early or the crazy rush hour, having a toxic boss can make your day terrible. While bad bosses come in different flavours, it can have a negative impact on an individual's mental health.
For Esther Mutungi, it meant a mind-shift that saw her quit her job to pursue her dreams.
You can also share your experiences where you traded your health for a paycheck. Was it all worth it. If not, what did you do next?

The environment that one grows often (but not always) determines how one turns. For Irene Yamo, she grew up in poverty, but caught a chance to further her education, went to the best high schools in Kenya. She made it to the university only to drop out and do business which she later left to pursue a course in nursing. Despite the challenges she faced, she is now an amazing Ophthalmic nurse and still forging on.

Hey guys.
Today's episode focusses on Internships- The new word for cheap Labor. Internship is a platform to engage students who are fresh from school to gain real corporate experience, which is a good thing. What is uncalled for, is the exploitation of individuals by paying them zero.

Happy New Year!!! What a time to be alive.
I spent my time in the countryside during the festive season and my oh my...I got to learn a lot. The questions of what my career path is were also quite overwhelming. I mean, if you are not doing medicine or engineering, it becomes hard to explain to your folks and relatives what you are doing with your life.
Question- How do you deal with such questions?

Finishing school is always exciting- until you realize the harsh experiences one has to go through.
There are Skills we were not taught in school, yet they are relevant in our day to day life. I mean, Undergrad was meant to sharpen us and make us better people. Instead, we left not knowing how to communicate, how to file tax returns, how to think and how to repair broken stuff.
Join me as I expound more on Postgrad hustles, and discuss solutions that we can use to navigate through adulting.
