Murugi is so wise/smart and very articulate

[@CAROLCHACHA]

This is exactly what I needed to hear😢...will be back to testify ❤

[@bestkeptsecretspod]

We can’t wait for the testimony! All the best 🎉

[@rachaelmureithi5688]

A thought has come to mind when murugi said men don't really care what other people think about them and it clicked for me that the conversation about a woman's body is even a conversation because we care so much when someone says something about our body whether positive or negative.

[@catemashamemoments2590]

Very empowering conversation.... I have learnt to always trust the voice of the holyspirit....thats how I ended up on the ballot in 2022😂 with so many miracles that followed me after taking a step of faith. Lesson : Don't ever turn your destiny into democracy where everyone must endorse...sikia voice ya God usonge

[@marywairimu8060]

This episode I can confidently say was God responding to my prayers . I have struggled with seeking other people approval for the a long time. My take home; 1. There is a space ordained for me by God I should follow and take up that space. 2. Stop seeking other people approval and even if I share my idea with others I should have a backbone 3. Ask for great and big things ,even at that be ready to do the work. Thanks ladies for being bold to share I appreciate you.

[@perism1586]

This was so wholesome!😊 Thank you ladies❤ And when Murugi talked about the privilege to fail, indeed it is a privilege when one has the freedom to fail knowing they have support to get back up if things don't work out. I hope to give my children that freedom and space. Cheers!

[@daisynjeru8000]

An episode i never knew i needed🥺. I was brainstorming about a certain business idea but wasn't sure about it until i was done watching this episode. All i can say it's now time that i start and take up the space and if it fails we wake up tomorrow and continue. Thank you Murugi, Maureen and Sharon for the gems you've dropped.❤

[@lilianwanjiku2242]

First of all "Sharon's shoe, I love Love it" , this was an amazing conversation 😍

[@flo1171]

What a gem!💎 Thank you ladies. This episode speaks to me as I'm in a stage of transition into the work world. It's often tempting to play small in a new workplace or the self doubt that creeps in before an interview, and I've found that affirming myself beforehand and as many times as need be is working wonders for my confidence. Why should I play small when I so deserve to be here?

[@thealuway]

I'm that one person who's going to TAKE up space after watching this episode. Thank you ladies

[@trizah96]

The fire in me now🔥 Thanks Sharon....what Maureen has said about socializing with bosses is very correct and ALSO with lecturers/professors opportunities come up in schools but they'll only remember those who at least said hi. Just remember to NOT wear 'pick me' mentality and also don't stoop so low IYKYK😂

[@herriethsteven8407]

❤Have your own backbone This is a beautiful session Sharon 🎉

[@gathonimuriuki254]

Thankyou Sharon, Murugi & Maureen, thankyou for being you and giving such wholesome tips.God bless y'all

[@lorineochuodho]

I am not big on listening to podcasts but with this one I sat through the entire episode and really enjoyed it. I particularly loved how well the conversations flowed. Great job on this one Sharon!

[@rachelwavinya519]

Thank you so much for this Sharon! I've learnt so much from you Maureen and Murugi and I'm going to be intentional in taking up space

[@Buyeke]

This resonated so deeply❤ I relate so much to Sharon, I'm probably meaner to myself about my failures because I tie my successes and what I'm doing to my self worth.

[@Caroline.N.K]

God sent discussion Sharon, I have gotten heavy encouragement ❤

[@puritywanjiru99]

Just three words, I am inspired!

[@glarivinnyaribo1962]

I was also brought up with the mindsent you have to be busy always 😂. Failure was never acceptable in our household and have grown with the fear of failure which actually holds me from trying. With the experience i have had in life i have come to accept it is okay to fail and this has actually been a big stepping stone.

[@edeljonnes]

I could watch this episode a million times and will still have different take homes each time. This has been a wake up call for me and I'm truly inspired ❤

[@awinoawiti]

Am gonna do that campus tour🥳❤❤. Thanks fo this episode

[@valarie_tabby]

I'm not sure how many times I'll listen to this but uuuuuuiii🎉🎉 I'm screaming ❤❤ this pod is just Soo needed

[@mwendenyaga91]

As a believer, I tend to disagree with the point the ladies made on prayer.. I believe we pray God to meet us at the point of our needs and their is no right or wrong way to pray for whatever we need and ask of him.

[@Christineidaki]

This was so wholesome and authentic ❤

[@maggieshaka]

My thing is if I get an idea and start it and it’s not working I don’t see it as I have I view it as I pause it to think of the biggest way to do it. So me I say I don’t fail I just look for how to do it bigger because I know things fail because the vision isn’t full

[@maloy3553]

This podcast has helped me grow alot as a person ❤❤,thank you ladies 😊😊was also so afraid of failure but now ,,,,am strong enough to that I tried,,,the blessing in disguise

[@Shephoo]

[@akothhellena4834]

This was a wholesome conversation ❤

[@mumbyvivian9875]

Thank you ❤ I will get out of my own way.

[@josephineotara1487]

This episode is fulfilling to listen to. When Sharon talked about the crippling fear of failure, omd!!!

[@wahito9465]

This!!!!!

[@MissGummybear254]

What a gem!! I follow Murugi Munyi and I just love her outlook on life, and especially how she works hard to get what she wants!! I was so super proud of her when she bought her car! She showed us how to own our wins with our heads held high. I like what was said about God giving us a vision. And I remembered what my pastor said on the same; when God wants to give a vision to a generation, He doesn’t give it to a committee; God gives a vision to one person. God can also give witness to another person - so we should ask God to give someone in our lives witness of the vision - it could be your significant other, friend etc. So we need to tarry in His presence to ensure that we are walking in His will

[@hinesightmind]

So many people give back handed compliments. May God rescue us from the shackles of such people.

[@esthermuthoni624]
