The authenticity of this season 😊 just woow!! sisi watu wa deep naked conversations are really enjoying.

[@alldaynyoro-sims]

So true… my favorite season so far

[@sheemusic2698]

Wanjiru, please hold Tawa as he sleeps for as long as you can 🤣 soon he won't be wanting those cuddles. Those moments are priceless for moms🥰

[@justbeingmeciru]

Soooo truew

[@AdhiamboChelangat]

I am really loving this season. These authentic and important conversations are needed because they are so relatable but so rare. I also wish you would have touched, even vaguely about sex after childbirth as it is among the pressure points and also a very tense conversation to have. From a woman feeling touched out, to the hormonal fluctuations and alienation from your body because of the changes you've gone through to a man being very eager about the 6 week mark and the contraceptive conversation. I also definitely understand the need to separate certain aspects of your life from the pod. But thank you both for this space, the fun and important conversations and the Joyous Ride you give us every week. Blessings 🙌

[@wendymarion8571]

if they aren't open about talking about it, maybe they can invite guests who can, just my opinion

Every episode of this new season has been triggering 😢I am leaving my partner because why is everything not okay in our relationship!! Boundaries, money,sex,time.... Everything!I am glad you guys are happy and growing.Loving this new season.

[@dianaflora6156]

I love this episode. Watching all the way from ireland. I love your level of handling issues. You guys are really mature. Wanjiru you are great . In the earlier episodes when you guys talked about kids wanjiru was very scared for sure. But you didn't need to be cause you are doing a great Job. I have a last comment...I think you guys are shy around sex conversations. You struggle with what's to consider private or public. I respect your stand on it. I just wish you could still talk about it in depth. Not the act but just have depth conversations about it when questions around it come up. Loved the episode alot

[@TheJoyridepod]

Thank you so much Diana❤

[@monicahnjoki9975]

[@joyceyugi9266]

First and foremost... ROAD TO JOY🎉🎉. Second this is the best season HANDS DOWN. The conversations are too real. Just the way I like it. Still requesting for a drip check segment. I really rock with Ben's style. Share the plugs. Hio question ya sex mmekimbiza though 😂😂😂 but I get it. I get the shyness.

[@monicahnjoki9975]

"I'm very well rested thanks for asking" lakini Ben hushikwa off guard all the time 😅😅😅😅 .... love you guys loads ❤

[@corporatefoodie]

😂😂😂 I love this episode. Clearly you guys are uncomfortable talking about sex😂😂😂 it's okay to keep somethings to yourselves we understand

[@waihiga124]

Ben. Eish, that look is A-1. As for Wanjiru, you just look good and glow naturally - ata ukivaa dera na kiremba, you will just drip with style.

[@MollyAgnes1]

I'm loving the level of self awareness and communication ❤❤

[@ruthmokeiri1819]

Am loving the intro and outro. The cutest parents i know. You look too good together

[@moniquemwangi18]

This is so informative thank you so much @Ben and @ Wanjiru. Ben makes everything feel relaxed and fun..Salimia Tawa ❤.

[@cocollader7049]

Been seen you guys since you were dating, and one thing I admire is the authenticity and honesty you guys have. I love this season, I appreciate you guys so much❤❤ sending love your way❤❤

[@MwangiTshikoh]

Watching you two is a breath of fresh air. It’s so inspiring to see such genuine, mature love from a young couple-you’re proof that real connections are about depth, respect, and authenticity. The way you support and listen to each other is beautiful, and it’s clear you’re building something real. Keep being yourselves; you’re inspiring people to aim for love that’s built on friendship and understanding. Thank you for sharing your journey with us!

[@deenyaga]

Hi Ben and Wanjiru..I really enjoyed the show. Am from Embu..I agree with Wanjiru.i was named after my grandma's 'trait'..she loves cooking so I was named Murugi, instead of her original name.. Also my bro was named after my granddad's 'trait'..he is a wealthy farmer so he chose the name Gitonga for him..

Hey Ben and Wanjiru, for the naming part my husband and I agreed way before having kids that we would not name after our parents.My husband is Kalenjin and I'm Kikuyu, we agrred that our children will have their own name without any influence from both our cultures so we settled on 2 English names for our 3 children.

[@DorisWandia-m4w]

Two English names for African kids is wild to me😮 I wish it was Swahili names

[@sandrawambui5091]

Definitely think Ben and Wanjiru have become more vulnerable. Its so refreshing to see, we're glad you're back.

[@risperkariuki1459]

You guys are amazing. I really enjoy your conversations. Thank you ❤❤

[@evelynmbithe]

I have an issue with the namimg too... I'm with you Wanjiru.

[@Monsterbrawller]

Naming is really a matter of upbringing and connection and understanding of your culture. To each his own really.

[@waihiga124]

With all the taxes this government is piling on fuel, clearly they don't care that long drives calm children down and contribute to the mental wellness of the parents. NKT!!! ____ MUST GO!

[@monicahneemax4495]

Finances in marriage is the elephant in the room that should be addressed exhaustively,otherwise I have seen scenarios where one person is working hard towards family progress while the other one is living a #YOLO kind of lifestyle.

[@Its_Arsenath]

Beautiful season, beautiful conversations ❤🎉

[@nancywangari6847]

Wow beautiful and relatable conversations that I love

[@marywanjiku1586]

I pray i have a beautiful marriage ❤. You guys look beautiful❤❤

[@faithnjoroge3668]

My hubby and I have had freedom with naming all 3 of our boys. I find it's a lot of work finding meaningful complementing names. All of them have names with similar biblical meaning though. (Our 2nd boy we named Tawa). Loved the episode ❤

[@waihiga124]

I expect my kids to name me and/or my spouse if and when the traditional order calls for it. I will be COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY OFFENDED if they do not and NO! I DO NOT NEED THERAPY. Will I continue to love them? Yes. Will I love my grandchildren? Yes. Will I be offended? Yes.

[@rev3577]

I specifically told our families we were not naming our kids after any family member. They will only have the family name, but not after anyone .

[@beatricemumbua6527]

Always Road to Joy🎉🎉❤❤

[@lynnireri]

8:08 I’m always looking forward to your episodes and as always, you never disappoint! Kindly do provide the link for the study mentioned on this time frame😊

[@faithwacheke7601]

We are both kikuyus I also hate naming kids after people I believe I birthed a new person , imagine naming a baby wanjohi 😅😅 and it's meaning . I have girl and a boy so we decide ni kikuyu names mwenye anaitwa atafte jina (christian name) yenye atareplace hio Kikuyu name

[@kandisphere8828]

Aki why Wanjohi? This made me laugh 😅, but also Kinyanjui

[@cynthiamuthoni3509]

Loving the rich conversations.If it is okay, could you guys also kindly have the questions in the description box .

[@idahokumu7673]

Eeeeyyy, it's the awkwardness ilianza hapo Kwa Sex aspect alafu Ben akasema ni worship segment for me😂😂😂😂, eeeeyy tufanyie altar call pale ukambani kwa ile prayer centre, murima imeguswaa

[@jerushawanjiku4815]

I wish mtu anaweza subscribe more than once sahi tungekuwa tumefika 1M. But let me tell you maina, my husband was so excited when I conceived our twins 🤣🤣. But wakiwa wadogo I almost lost my mind. N I made peace at some point that men are very lucky. I think I'm still traumatized I think hata Ben anajaribu sana. Mimi huyu wangu it's a miracle hakupata nimemgonga ngumi akiwa amelala. N I used to be moody na makasiriko hazikuwa zinaisha. Sahi my twins are two years na I'm grateful that I'm still sane n married😂. You guys will be good very soon, they grow really fast. Wanjiru, it's well mama. .

[@mercieshidoc1248]

In the original kikuyu traditions, it was wrong to name your child directly after somebody. Ideally everyone had 2 kikuyu names and you would choose the one they don't actively use(not on the birth cert or ID)

[@jackiekaki9026]

Embu people don't name directly as wanjiru said,you name after a trait of the one you're naming..my mum is from Embu so our middle sister is named after my shosh but not directly,just her hardworking trait..hence Wawira being her name.

[@stellanjuma2780]

Naming is such a big issue especially from us women( kikuyu ).most times we feel like we are not considered. Wanjiru I feel you . Like if you are to name your parents you must have more than two kids. The best is to have a common agreement with your spouse.

[@TheJoyridepod]

For sure 🙏🏾

[@sharonmerongo273]

Even in Kisii culture I am named from my mom's side am my grandma mother to my dad used to complain alot that I was supposed to be named after her.She even wanted my second name to be changed and I be named after her

[@estherwanjiru6655]

Wanjiru " yu see where I come from " Ben interrupting with sarcasm "Embu" nie maaaa😂😂😂Ben niukujuraga

[@iamtimgichia]

Nunueni Simba!...Very good option

[@ceciliamareri2070]

The tension at the last topic 😂😂😂

[@nyamburakahaki6663]

I relate with the issue of naming, We never came into an agreement, kwanza mine stuck with the idea of the child will have the full name of his Dad .i.e no changing even the first name, yaani 5yrs down the line sijawahi kubali kijana wangu anaitwa "Peter" . Soo old school and the way nowadays I see fancy fancy Kids names

[@evastrikings1904]

And on my low days... I search for Joyride and my problems go with the wind😊

[@husnahhawa3866]

African culture is really unfair to women when it comes to naming Ive personally had this fight especially having lost my father And I get wanjiru's suggestion of naming the child after both fathers having made this suggestion myself 😅

[@Agather_wakio]

I have two sons and I chose names that have meaning to me, I have not named them after anyone. Please write us these questions on the description tuende tukaulizane na huko 🤭

[@kandisphere8828]

Wanjiru is right that Embu (and Meru) tribes do not give the exact name of the parent, but give the trait of the grandparent/namesake. For instance, Mukami would be someone whose grandma liked milking/was a dairy farmer. Karimi, would be a farmer/the grandmother liked digging. Mugambi, would be a child named after someone who is a judge or good at solving cases/conflicts.

[@twanjiru5131]

first few moments gave the Whitehalls couple. 😂😅love this

[@carolinewambui5366]

Wewe Wanjiru watu wa Murima wanakuona sana🤣🤣🤣

[@mwendenyaga91]

I missed you guys😊

[@hiukojo]

Naming Follow kikuyu culture with the traditional name then pick a maasai or swahili equivalent for my parent's name as the first name. Everyone is happy

[@j.omondi5826]

On the naming part, my parents passed when I was fairly young and I was taken in by my aunt and uncle who raised me as their own. So the way I see it, I have six parents total: my late parents, my aunt and uncle who I see as my mum and dad and my lovely in-laws. So my husband and I decided we were not going to name our children after any of them because we don't plan to have six kids. Personally, I've always preferred my child to be named after values or positive traits I admire hoping they too will live-up to the name

[@ShineRoberts-x24]

Tuned ❤

[@TheJoyridepod]

Thankyu❤

[@faithsusan4303]

Hi Ben and wanjiru I love the show you are right the name of murugi is a good name of a girls name beacuse the name murugi means cooking

[@GitumaNkatha]

My mum had a friend who really wanted to name one of her kids after the dad... So bad that she kept getting children when in her circumstances she really shouldn't have. She passed away having gotten 5 girls and I am so sure she would have still kept at it.😅

[@wangeciwatene9172]

I agree the naming thing is wild

[@wangarikariuki6522]

Wanjiru, mwacha mila ni mtumwa. That naming story wachana na hiyo activism. Culture and identity are imperative for children and not about personal whims

As me, I have a big issue with naming kids after anyone. I am millennial and my parents never named their first 2kids after any of their parents ( my sisters are 40 for context) only 1 bro is named after our grandpa and we are 7kids) I honestly don't like it, in a fun twist I got married into a family that names kids after uncles, great grandparents etc

[@priscillamureithi77]

I get what wanjiru is saying about the kikuyu naming system.

[@MtotowaNjuru]

It's hilarious how Wanjiru is now the one loading the questions & the way she used to laugh at him back then Always a pleasure to watch Joyride
