In Episode 364 of the Legally Clueless Podcast, Kenyan stand-up comedian Rahab Kihuha shares Part 2 of her story, a powerful continuation that explores sobriety, motherhood, womanhood in male-dominated spaces, and what it truly means to heal holistically.
In this episode, Rahab reflects on navigating the comedy industry as a woman, performing while pregnant, confronting patriarchy on and off stage, and choosing sobriety as an act of self-preservation. She opens up about becoming a mother, finding community, re-learning how to feed her mind and spirit, and arriving at a place of deep self-acceptance. This conversation dives into:
- Sobriety and recovery as a daily practice
- The connection between addiction and disconnection
- Motherhood as a grounding and transformative experience
- Patriarchy and gendered expectations in comedy
- Healing through community, creativity, and presence
- Choosing a life you no longer want to escape from
This is a story about freedom, freedom of expression, freedom from self-abandonment, and the quiet power of liking your own life.
If you haven’t listened to Part 1 of Rahab’s story, we recommend starting there before this episode.
