JIPENDE! A lesson in Self-Love | TMI Podcast KE | Episode 28 

📍Be a good friend to yourself. 📍 Accept your softness. 📍 Listen to yourself more than others. 📍 Reciting affirmations. 📍 Invest in Financial literacy. 📍 Prioritizing the future. 📍Asking yourself which discomforts have I been prioritizing and change that. 📍 Normalize affirmations. 📍 Setting boundaries - saying no.

Beyoncé once admitted that she doesn't like her ears, I think acceptance is a good place to start

Our bodies are just housing us. We are our souls. I have worked on unlearning a lot of the physical things that we are told from childhood through adulthood. There are so many expectations especially on us women. Meditation has really made me realize that naturing your your soul is the foundation of true self love. I know this because the soul is the source of our existence. Think of your attitude, behaviour, personality, perception..all these stems from the soul. If your soul is natured (feed it just as you regularly eat food for physical body) and you will have the utmost form of self love.

When Lydia said she's keen about how she treats other people, very true a true sweet soul, a gorgeous blessing to the world, love you so much Lydia ur a gem❤️

I can listen to Lyd for days and still want to hear more from her. I learn so much Gosh. Am grateful am hear with you guys.

On the pads/cup/tampons..issue, my opinion...use what works for you. Those 3,4,5 days are never fun for any woman and getting all the comfort you can get is key. I am a pads girl and i hardly get infection or a rush, Never actually. Baseline, just like contraceptives,just go with what works for you🤗

Lydia you do nurture relationships. Even online relationships. You are definitely a people person. ❤️

I love the fact that I no longer look up to people validations/opinions for me to feel beautiful..nowadays you don't even have to comment on my pics for me to feel cute cause I know what I bring to the table(I already know am bold,beautiful and unapologetic)🥰😍

Hey Lydia - our mamas used to use cotton cloths/materials . I remember my first period - I told my aunty and she folded a clean cloth which I used. Fast forward, I am now able to afford pads but not all girls are and in the villages where I went to distribute pads in December to high school children , they were wondering whether menstrual cups interfere with someone's virginity. This is a great conversation going on here

Not me marathoning TMI like it's a series with 10 seasons😅 Ladies you are amazing , I'm mad I dint find this channel sooner.... I'm here for all of it❤

Financial literacy Financial goals Tapping into own softness Listening to myself Being a better friend to myself Self affirmation Setting boundaries auuuuh🙏 ❤️❤️👏

My first time listening. Compartmentalizing is not a strength. If you feel too much you might be an empath. I used to hate my body ...now I love it.

I relate with Murugi on feeling like you are too much and saying and doing things people wouldn't.

Am on that journey and am loving it ... feeling liberated. You feel and look confident when you love yourself and appreciate who you are and what you can do make a better version of yourself. Am in love with myself

Lydia kiiiiiillllllleeeeed this episode! A pure gem! Lydia, you such a beautiful person. Also, being soft actually shows how strong, bold and emotionally intelligent you are.

Thanks guys for this episode, I am actually in the process of self love, worth and self forgiveness. Practising gratitude. Ya'll had me confessing love to myself..I love my.. i've never said out loud..it's nice. Always thought it's wrong to think-accept that am beautiful. Never reaally accepting compliments. ♥️

Thank you ladies, you are God sent .Since starting watching TMI am so self aware and I am loving the new me

I am sooooooooo proud of how far I've come with my self-love journey. Watching this made me realize how well I'm loving myself

This is amazing Joan and Lydia, I actually had one before but I went back because I realized I couldn't do long hours it could lick before 12 hours, not sure if the size was small or I didn't put it correctly. But from here we are giving it another chance of financial breakthrough. Thanks guys 😘😘😘🥰🥰🥰🥰

Wow , I never miss a tmi episode coz you girls make me so confident, you are like the female friends I never had

i have had self doubt before, the f*******ng big toe cracked when i was seven, my nose pointy AF, Anxiety AF this are things i constantly try to breath through, through my journey i have learnt alot and dealing with this issues is easier now. i meditate ,i work out,i read books its now easier but sometimes its still hard. Am just trying gurl!!!

Feeling emotions so deeply is both a blessing and a curse.

Listening to this now and i love the topic.self love is a journey and the view of ones image should be personal(society has defined to us what beauty is like..who told us having thin legs is not beautiful?having a big bum is goals?)work on your body and learn to embrace those parts that you can never change.Highlight what you love most and above all work towards being healthy.Just embrace you and stay focussed

I missed you guys like crazyyyy 😍.. I kept refreshing just to check new video..and finally here we are!! .. always on point ☝️

My phone froze and gave me the opportunity to enjoy Lydia’s smile. 😍😍 Am in love😻

i had the same issue of always feeling like iam too much in a room....it really affected me because it forced me to start keeping quiet when iam in a crowd. until i realized it started affecting my confidence. thank God for the realization of it was a situation of i was bothered by what people thought about me....since that day iam me whenever, wherever,however.so long i keep my boundaries, i am me 100%

I agree with Murunyi controlling your emotions requires discipline...but that shouldn't stop us from adressing our emotions and letting it out

Self love muhimu sana,,,I can relate,,,was struggling with my body juu apparently people know how you should look🤦,,but when I came to realize I am my own person,,then it was a partyyyyy 🎉🎉🎉 for me n since then ,,daamn am great 🥳🥳🤗🤗

I love you girls soooooo much...love the way you look after yourself...

Is being pounded really self love?heh y'all made me happy there😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂great episode as usual lovelies ❤️

Thank you guys I really loved this episode,I just realised that I never asked myself what I love about me,and I feel like it is hard for me to see what I love about myself,because of lack of discipline,but now I understand what self-love is and I am going to practice self-love more,much love ladies xx

Love this beautiful empowered smart women

I love myself just because. Like I could find a billion reasons why.. because they're definitely there. But even if they weren't, I'd love myself just as much.

I love how real you ladies are❤

I love how this episode is on doing internal work because this capitalistic facade that associates self love with spending money on massages, spas, salons, is really BS. Also the thing on masculine and feminine energy is very patriarchical and I completely agree with Joe, we associate relevant qualities to succes in this men's world like assertiveness and being bold to masculine energy and fragile qualities to feminine energy. Energies are just that energy. Anyways you guys ROCK 💪🏽

Glad to be part of the premier gang🎉😄❤️❤️💃🏿. Currently on that journey,more like dating myself😆. #SelfLove ni muhimu. Great topic warembo👏🏾👏🏾.

Lydia smiles like a baby🥰🥰

I loooove Murugi's laugh 😅 and Lydia's giggles.... overall your content is always insightful and interesting 💯

We don't deserve Lydia!❤ Okay we do, but we don't 😂 We love you girl!

Definitely loving the ladies😍....I know I no nothing about production n quality but this video 😍😍the quality, space , the ladies ofcourse😍🔥....Cudos to the production team ...

Lol, the last part was hilarious. Thank you ladies for being authentic and real.

Did you just say a nappy rash @ 30! Wow!! The shade !!

Boundaries....NO is a complete answer....not today, not now, no thanks, I dont want to, I dont have time to.

Aah thank you Needed this just right now

uuuwiiii Beryl surely...I was just chilling then boom! not Beryl hahahahahahahahaaa

Wow , just man up got me on the floor 😂😂😂😂- I can relate to Joane

Lydia is my new bestie! Love your self-awareness and empathy!

That headboard story is definitely self love 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Listen to yourself more than others👌 If you truly love yourself, you will. Do what it takes to get yourself where you need to be. 80 🍩doughnuts 😂😂😂😂

Among the first today....so excited for this discussion

Not lydia talking about eating 20 donuts. I was about to! But a gal toto is going to bed now, I will honour my words Outshalllah 😂

Yes Joannnnnnnn and Lydia

I can relate with Murugi about being too much.this is my feeling all the time after talking or spending a day with people i go home and I start reflecting what i talked about and the answer that comes to my mind all the time is that i talk too much i would not have said this and that. They are not things that can offend someone am very careful on that anyone but like personal things.

Haiti it is .... 💗💗💗. I am going to 🇭🇹

Parabéns pelo tema e pelo canal, o youtube me recomendou e estou amando ver vocês. o coletor menstrual é ótimo pois ajuda na conservação do ambiente a medida que reduz o resíduo resultante do uso do absorvente.

I loved this talk about self love. It’s so important especially as we get older and responsibilities pile up.

I love this episode so much 😂I thought I loved myself until I watched this💀 Journey to discpline😂

Wuuuuu everything here is eye opening. Such great content. You know what I'm taking a pen and paper I feel I really need to write down what I like and don't like about myself, it's kinda too much yet again too less. Thank you TMI

@lyd. The emotions part.I also have alot of emotions, and my mom told me it's a trauma response from having daddy issues..absentee dad..I have the same issue and sometime's it annoys me because it makes me a cry baby most of the times

The episode has served not only me but its going to also girls I mentor who are between age 15-17 in regards to the topic of jipende and the topier is that they get to learn about the cup because I don't have one but I wanted to get a video to demonstrate it to them having talked about in one of our sessions.

Murugi that hair is giving me life! You ate that look with a big spoon!

I think also respecting other people's boundaries is part of self-love

Omg. Just went through the energy shift this week. Best thing observe then bring it up, if you care about the person. If not, move on they can also look for you.

Yes I love myself and I have start to this journey last year and am working on it at least am getting to know myself better

I like the fact that you guys are opposites. That way we see what you are talking about from two sides.

I am those people who feel. Like Lydia was saying like all the emotions come at me so bad I feel like I will explode.

I totally struggle with being vulnerable even to my loved ones. I'm so like Jo

I really love all your episodes this one is sooo real and relatable

Not me realizing I have been watching and I'm not subscribed. Yuck. Haha oldie but a new subbie.

I enjoyed the deeper self love discussion, intentional self love🥰

🌸🌸🌸 we are badasses ,all of us here ❤️❤️❤️

The thing about ati you don't try to make your body better ati you've reached the level where you truly love yourself is so wrong....just because i go to the gym ama i wear make up doesn't mean ati i hate how i look....i believe these are the steps we take towards that self love journey....whatever you do to your body to make it 'better' ama more appealing is def self love language...you are taking of your goddamn self...i don't think ati it means you don't love yourself ....sasa utakaa hapo kama gunia ya viazi ndio useme sasa umefika self love,no...... Always mob love for #tmi

Lydia: back to sender mother of six, back to you 🤣🤣🤣

Thankyu big sisters😊.. the 10% discount with ur code is legit, oredi have my mini package delivered today in less than 24hrs. I hope to enjoy using it as u made it sound.

Pardon my ignorance and allow me to ask, when using a menstrual cup, where does the discharge go? Does the cup have absorption properties like a pad or it just holds the discharge until you remove and clean it?

Very nice add section around the cup... Easy to understand, fun, and relaxed.

Amazing content 👌...Murugi is me..it just feels we too much...

Be a friend to myself

Second time watching this coz that’s how good this episode is, but 53:32 has got me laughing so hard both times. Thank you for your recommendation girls😂😂
