  • Maximizing the current Healthcare System - Kenya (NHIF & SHIF)

    In this episode we discuss, Healthcare specifically, how do we overcome the statement:" We are only one illness away from poverty?

  • Successfully Identifying and Navigating Childhood Traumas

    Nobody escapes trauma while growing up - Yes or No?
    Thing is we are a product of the people and environment that we live in.

    Trauma is an emotional response to a terrible event(s) and it mostly comes back as a reaction not a memory.

    In this episode J&J discuss:
    1. What is Childhood trauma
    2. How to identify your Childhood trauma
    3. Tips to overcome Childhood trauma

    As an adult there is no excuse for misbehaving/bad manners/unhealthy characteristics because you are now the Background!

    The goal is to stop the cycle, you end up unconsciously replaying/reacting to that trauma through our choices of friends, careers, relationships etc. then pass it down to the next generation.
