Episode Details

What messages did you receive about yourself as a child and how have they shaped the way you love, trust and show up in the world today? In part one of this deeply moving two-part story, Wanjirah Kimani takes us back to her childhood in Murang’a, being raised by her grandmother, navigating parental absence, experiencing shame at home, and growing up believing love had to be earned through performance. This episode explores childhood wounds, worthiness, unlearning inherited shame, and the quiet ways early experiences shape us long into adulthood.

In this episode, Wanjirah shares:

• Growing up raised by her grandmother in a loving but chaotic environment
• How shame entered her life through family dynamics and childhood experiences
• Learning to perform for love and approval
• The impact of emotional wounds from parents and caregivers
• How faith became an anchor through it all
• Entering adulthood carrying a deep hunger to be chosen and loved

This is part one of Wanjirah’s story. Part two drops next week.
