Reality shows are now a dime a dozen, but back in 2010 (12 years ago) it was a still nascent industry. This week , Kwambox shares her experience on Big Brother Africa which catapulted her into stardom across the continent. But behind the glitz and glam she opens up about her struggle with anxiety brought on by the fame. We also share our experiences being in the limelight and the pressure that brings to maintain a certain image. Let us know your thoughts on reality shows; and if you could join a...

After a two year (unplanned) hiatus we're finally back and we're so excited to resume podcasting! To kick off season two, we invited seasoned media personality Janet Mbugua, to join us as we unpack our toxic traits. Why did we choose this topic? For absolutely no reason, but... it's related, i promise! Loool. This session was nothing short of CATHARTIC! We had deeply missed sharing our experiences on the podcast and it was a beautiful reminder of the wonderful sisterhood & community we had c...

Noni recently came across an interesting tweet with a lady asking “Why are men so secure? What’s the secret? Like, do y’all ever need reassurance?” So we invited our Ghanian hommie Bright Gameli, who also dabbles as a Cyber Security expert; and posed the question to him. We’re hoping to do more of these #AskTheMen topics, so feel free to share any questions you’d like to pose to our future male guests, and you can also recommend men who you'd like us to host on the next edition of #AskTheMen. We...

This week we tried something different, we totally 'FREESTYLED' the session!! We decided to speak off-script, off-the-cuff, and candidly speak about anything and everything. The ensuing result; Julia opens up about speaking to a medium, Noni shares a personal dilemma she’s facing with her sister and Sharon gets real about job insecurity. Show Notes; Here are the links Julia mentioned in the podcast! Enjoy! Ainsile Macleod; Living The Life Your Soul Intended- (Super Soul Conversations by Oprah) h...

One of our lovely listeners sent us a voice note that preempted this conversation; Do we call out our friends? It's definitely not an easy thing to do, but we have to #Normalise calling out our friends. What are your thoughts on this? Ever called your friend out? Ever been the friend who's been called out? Let us know! Remember if you'd like to pre-empt/set the scene for our next episode, you can leave us a voice note with your topic and question. Hosted by Julia Gaitho, Muthoni Muchiri, and Sha...

I’ll start by saying, this was a really cute session; listen to the end and you’ll understand why. Also, we're already 10 EPISODES IN? Wow, Thank You all so much for the incredible support. Today we're talking about Body Insecurities, something we all battle with, however all that matters ultimately is feeling confident in your own skin. We open up about our insecurities, we also share our ‘coming of age’ stories and celebrate each other’s physical features. Hosted by Muthoni Muchiri, Julia Gait...

Let's talk about Ex-Etiquette! How should you engage with your 'former' significant other? It's a slippery slope!

Which way do you sway? All this and much more in today's episode. Hosted by Julia Gaitho, Muthoni Muchiri & Sharon Machira.

In 2020, Privacy is an illusion. Everybody's business is everybody's business...and when you're a media personality your business is LITERALLY someone's BUSINESS. But are we taking this too far? Social Media has turned us all into nosy, prying-ass humans, but maybe its time we channeled our platforms towards more positive outcomes; like when we got Art Cafe to finally #PayCreatives or when someone's tweet got Kenya Airways to lower its flight prices. Social Media is a powerful tool... let's wiel...

Excuse me, I'm asking for a friend...WHY ARE WE DATING THE SAME PEOPLE? " Six degrees of separation" is the idea that all people are six , or fewer, social connections away from each other. In Nairobi, (and other African capitals) you'll be lucky to find even a SINGULAR degree of separation between you and your Ex's last fling. This week we let you know more about our beloved community of "Sister Wives" and "Eskimo Brothers" here in the +254. Wanna know who these are? Give the show a listen! Hos...

ENTANGLEMENT- A word that has found new meaning in 2020! After Jada Pinkett Smith dropped the bomb on the world that she was in an ‘entanglement’ with August Alsina, we knew we had to jump on this topic. We talk about monogamy, open relationships, and Julz introduces us to “Polyamory’ relationships. We also ask; Would you be in an open relationship? So send in your listener notes! iRIP is hosted by Julia Gaitho, Muthoni Muchiri & Sharon Machira.

In this episode, we talk about ’Situationships’, or better yet ‘Friends With Benefits’. Listen, Nairobi is a micro-community and whether you like it or not, if you are single then you’re probably in one! It can be a messy situation, especially if lines get blurred or hearts get broken… but as we say in the +254, WE MOVE REGARDLESS! We also share our Bad B**ch Anthems; So let us know yours on our social media handles @itsrelatedIpromise! Enjoy! Hosted by Muthoni Muchiri, Sharon Machira & Juli...

This week we vulnerably share our initial reaction to this pandemic (still feels weird typing that), and how we settled into living in these 'unprecedented times'.

How you've REALLY been doing! iRIP is hosted by Julia Gaitho, Muthoni Muchiri & Sharon Machira.
