Who Profits When You Don’t Feel Good Enough? | Mid Week Tease
Who taught you that this part of you needed fixing and who makes money when you believe them?This week on The Mid Week Tease, Adelle Onyango explores how women’s insecurities become business opportunities. From beauty standards that keep changing to the pressure to own a home by a certain age, how much of what we want begins with being told we aren’t enough? We unpack: • How ordinary features become “flaws” with solutions for sale. • Colourism, hair texture hierarchies and the pressure on African women’s bodies. • The shame attached to age, money and life milestones. • How even self-love and empowerment can become sales pitches. • Practical ways to pause, question the message and make choices with less shame.You deserve room to want something without first being persuaded to hate yourself.New episodes of The Mid Week Tease every Wednesday on the Legally Clueless Africa channels.

What Part Of Your Day Belongs To You? | Mid Week Tease
You finally sit down with your tea. Then you answer one message, remember something you need to order, and by the time you take a sip, it’s cold.On this week’s Mid Week Tease, Adelle Onyango asks what happens when we get so used to making time for everyone else that our own plans are always the easiest ones to move. From her morning walks in Limuru to the guilt that can show up the minute you sit down, Adelle explores how to make room for rest, pleasure and the things that make you feel like yourself.In this episode, we get into:Why being the woman everyone can count on can make it harder to protect your own time.How even a short break between tasks can help with fatigue.Why having a say in how you spend your time matters for your wellbeing.How to practise savouring and actually enjoy the good parts of an ordinary day.When making space for yourself means asking someone else to take a turn.Your invitation this week is to pick one moment in your day and decide how you’d like to spend it. A slow breakfast, a call with a friend, or your favourite pudding on a Wednesday. The pudding is a plan.

She shares the circumstances that shaped her decisions, the people who offered her refuge when she needed it most, and the challenges she faced as she eventually became a mother.

She Lost Her Parents, Her Home & Had to Fight to Survive | Daughtie's Story (Part 1) What happens when the people who are supposed to protect you become the very people who hurt you? In this episode of the Legally Clueless podcast, we meet Daughtie, whose extraordinary story of survival begins with a childhood marked by loss, sexual abuse, rejection and instability. After losing her parents, Daughtie finds herself moving between relatives' homes, searching for safety and belonging. But instead of receiving the care and protection every child deserves, she encounters betrayal, mistreatment and circumstances that force her to grow up far too quickly. In Part 1 of this three-part story, Daughtie opens up about the experiences that shaped her childhood, the devastating consequences of being failed by the adults around her, and what it means to lose not just your home, but your sense of safety. This is a story that challenges us to think about how we protect vulnerable children, the lasting impact of childhood trauma, and the importance of compassion.

He Called It Love. It Was Coercive Control PART 2 | Legally Clueless Ep 399
In the concluding part of Makena's story, a terrifying suspicion becomes reality when she confronts her partner about accessing her private conversations and information on her phone. What follows is a deeply personal account of digital surveillance, emotional abuse and coercive control, and the lasting impact of having your privacy, independence and sense of safety violated by someone you trusted.Makena reflects on the warning signs she struggled to recognise, how her relationship gradually isolated her from the people she loved, and what it took to begin reclaiming her freedom.Her story reminds us that abuse doesn't have to be physical to be devastating, and control is not love.Catch Part 1 of Makena's story in Episode 398.RESOURCES: UNDERSTANDING COERCIVE CONTROL & GETTING SUPPORT: Coercive control is a pattern of abusive behaviour designed to intimidate, isolate, monitor or restrict another person's freedom and independence.If you or someone you know is experiencing coercive control or other forms of abuse, the following organisations may be able to offer support:UsikimyeSupport and advocacy for survivors of gender-based violence.https://www.usikimye.org Healthcare Assistance Kenya (HAK)National Gender-Based Violence Hotline.Call: 1195Gender Violence Recovery Centre (GVRC)Medical, psychosocial and other support services for survivors of gender-based violence.https://gvrc.co.ke Family Health International (FHI)Psychosocial support for survivors of violence.
