Sun, 18 May 2025 23:08:35 GMT

#30. In the first episode of this deeply personal 5-part series, I, Anne Mbugua, reflect on one of the most profound lessons my mother taught me: perseverance. Through her journey—especially after losing her sight—my mum showed me that perseverance isn’t loud or showy. It’s steady. It’s the quiet decision to keep going when life gets hard.

💡 Key Takeaways:

The Norms We Break

Sun, 04 May 2025 06:00:00 GMT

#29. In this episode, Anne Mbugua shares a childhood story that may sound wild — eating half a mini tub of Vaseline to win a dare and earn a week on her brother’s prized BMX bike. But beneath the mischief was something deeper: a desire to prove herself, test her limits, and challenge the norms set around her.

We explore:

✅ What social norms are and why we care about them

✅ How childhood challenges can shape adult resilience

✅ Why doing something outside the norm can feel scary — but also deeply empowering

I reflect on how that same guts and grit attitude has guided me through adulthood, helping me navigate change, uncertainty, and risk with bravery and curiosity.

Key Takeaways

Norms shape us but don’t have to define us. We have the power to question and reshape the rules we live by.
Bravery comes in all forms. It’s not always dramatic; sometimes it’s in small, unexpected acts that build our resilience.
Failure is part of growth. When we step outside the norm, we open ourselves to both failure and success — and both are valuable teachers.

Conversations with Viki Cumberbatch: Part 3

Sun, 23 Feb 2025 07:00:02 GMT

#24. In this episode, Anne Mbugua and Viki Cumberbatch converse about the importance of hope as a guiding force and how it relates to creating meaningful change in our lives. They reflect on how easy it is to stay in situations that feel comfortable but aren’t necessarily aligned with our true potential. The conversation turns toward integrity, courage, and the small yet powerful moments of self-reflection that lead to personal growth. They discuss the concept of the "Zone of Genius"—a space where you feel fulfilled, aligned, and energized—and how to make the leap from just being "comfortable" to truly living in that space.

Takeaways:

Hope is about certainty—Instead of just wishing for change, adopt a mindset of certainty that transformation will happen in areas like health, career, and relationships. Belief in this certainty is the key to activating change.
Finding your Zone of Genius—To step into your Zone of Genius, reflect on where you’re comfortable but unfulfilled. Identify what truly energizes you and start making shifts, even if they’re small. Change doesn’t have to be drastic to be meaningful—start with awareness and intentional choices.

How to Get to Your Zone of Genius:

Slow down—Take time for introspection in quiet moments to tune into your true desires and values. Whether it’s through journaling, walking, or even a solo activity, create space to reflect on what truly excites and fulfills you.
Courage to act—Don’t wait for a drastic change to force you out of comfort. The courage to make small changes or take risks, even when unsure, is what helps you move toward your true genius.
