Don has always loved women. That much he will admit freely. What took him longer to understand was what it meant to love one. Despite growing up in an environment that exposed him to the world of erotism at a young age, Don somehow became a late bloomer, eventually catching his rhythm and enjoying every bit of what his good looks garnered him.  And then he met Tatu, and something shifted in a way he never saw coming.

This is a conversation about desire, growing up, and the moment a man realises the life he built no longer fits the person he wants to be.

Hera learned early that the adults meant to protect you don't always do it. And when she finally spoke up about the abuse that threatened her innocence, she learned that telling the truth doesn't mean anyone will believe you. Through much difficulty, she found her own way out because no one else was going to give her one.

However, getting out of a place is different from getting free of it. For years Hera moved through men lightly. She kept things easy and brief, and she always made sure she was in control. And then she met Tory. A steady force against her internal turbulence. On this episode of So This Is Love, Hera sits down to tell us what happened next.

Content note: this episode discusses childhood abuse and suicide.

She came for a friends-with-benefits but stayed for a love story.

When Luna met Adam on campus, a serious relationship was the last thing on her mind. She was a self-described conservative girl with a curious streak and was fresh out of a previous relationship that had started to turn dark. At this point, Luna was ready to say yes to things she'd never tried before. What began as something casual became something neither of them saw coming.

Years later, after marriage, motherhood, and the moments that test even the strongest couples, Luna joins us to talk about a partnership built on rules they wrote themselves. Because in a world that keeps telling women good men don't exist, her story makes a quiet, powerful case for the other side.

Everyone in their corner of Kisumu knew Brian's name. Tall, sharp-tongued, and effortlessly charming, he had girls lining up, and never seemed to slow down long enough to choose just one.

Then came Charity. Cool, composed, and completely unmoved by his lure, she was the one girl who didn't fall in line, and that, more than anything, is what pulled Brian in.

What follows is a story about what happens when the right person walks into a life that wasn't built for commitment, and how a single, high-stakes turn of events forced two young individuals to grow up fast and decide, together, what kind of future they actually wanted.

She used to run towards the wrong kind of fire, you know, the kind that burns fast and leaves you cold. Loise knew this pattern well. Handsome trouble, charming exits, a heart she kept handing to partners who kept dropping it. And sometimes, she did the same. Especially to the good ones.

Then came a heartbreak that forced her to ask herself the harder question: not "why do they fail me," but "why do I keep choosing this?"

Eventually, Clark, who was always in the background, steps into the foreground.

Some love stories start with lightning. This one started with someone looking in and finally looking up.

A father-daughter relationship is one of the most important bonds a girl can have. It is often where she first learns her own worth. Eva didn't get that early on. She grew up the odd one out in her own home with a mother who saved her warmth for her two brothers and a stepfather who filled a space but never quite stepped into the role. Then, in walks Captain; calm, confident and even a little bit flashy. Here stood the father she did not know she had and one who, through gentle persistence, teaches Eva something she had never been taught: what it feels like to have someone in your corner.

Athens and London found each other in that classic boy-meets-girl love story, one many of us wish for. Their connection was almost inevitable, unhurried and felt certain.

They said "I do", ready to start their lives anew, eager and optimistic with their faith, love for one another and ambition steering the ship. What they didn't know yet was how one word would touch every part of their lives: endometriosis. It would move into their relationship without warning, rearrange the furniture, and stay.

This is a story about a body that felt as though it was at war with itself, and how two people refused to let that war become their ending.

After years of talking to people on the other side of relationship breakdowns, this season, we’re doing something different. We are going in search of the ones who made it, those who are still together and continually choose each other. Relationships that have stood the test of time. 

Kicking things off, we have Candice, who met Henry at work while deep in her “sprinkle sprinkle” era; juggling multiple men in search of financial security. And then, in a twist of fate, we see her falling for someone who was actually all in for her, but this meant confronting habits that almost cost her everything. This is a story about how a young woman found her way to becoming a one-man woman and what’s kept her and Henry together since. Support this podcast via our mpesa till number
