A special thank you to my friend and fellow queen Grace Nyaruai Mureithi for working with me on this period series.   She reminds us of a fact that our periods are actually listed as a vital sign by the Association of OBGYNS!!!  This basically means that our period chart can be studied to determine whether there are any critical underlying issues with our health and we are here for it!   It is very vital for us to care for our bodies and embrace the changes that come each month. Giving ourselves the best nutrition and TLC.  We only have this one body, we better care for it as it is a temple and a part of creating life.   As always thank you very much for listening to my content and subscribing to my channel.  I appreciate you and remember that you are enough, you are everything and you deserve everything good under the sun!   I do not own any rights to the music used in this video therefore:  Music: Kiwi Musician: Jef   Love, Ellein Nasieku   #MentalHealth #Wellness #MentalWellness #GrowthMindset #Recovery #MentalIllness

If you have a mental illness, you are likely to experience premenstrual dysphoric disorder during the 2 week period towards day 1 of your period. It is a severe form of PMS due to the fact that you already have a mental illness.   It is important to seek medical help during this period in order to manage the situation properly, because sometimes it disrupts normalcy.   As always thank you very much for listening to my content and subscribing to my channel.

Young girls miss school each month because they are ashamed of menstruating. They are ashamed of the journey towards womanhood! Young girls are depressed because they have been bullied in school when they stained their clothes! Young girls refuse to leave the house and leave a normal life for 7 days each month because of shame! Why are we afraid to normalize conversations around menstruation, when it is a girls right of passage into womanhood? Why are period conversations still such a "taboo" topic to tackle? After all, women go through this, wives, mothers, daughters, girlfriends... we go through this every month and for the average woman, it lasts up-to 7 days. And because we have failed to normalize this conversation, menstruation period as a new journey for a girl and an already menstruating woman has become such a tough time. We struggle to navigate and are lost in discovering how our bodies adapt and change each month. Our cycles can literally be affected by a change in environment, a change in diet, a broken relationship, excitement, a loss of job, high levels of stress, exercise... name it. Our hormones require balance each and every time and FUN FACT... for each woman, the journey is totally different. The best we can do is equip women with information and help them understand that it is normal, this is our right of passage into womanhood and it should be celebrated just as equally as a boys right of passage into manhood.

It's been a minute, I have been thinking about you today. I hope you find me soon babe.

I feel so lost internally. I really hope that Allah gives me the strength and reveals to me his purpose. #revert #islamrevert #spiritually #spiritual

I recorded this on the 11th of July and forgot to post.lol.This is fun, randomly thinking about the future and saving my thoughts in time.

We might meet soon or never, but I am allowed to dream and be a hopeless romantic because you deserve it.

Show up and show out in every little thing regardless of what and how it looks or feels. The happy, low, high and sad. Sometimes even in the gutter. One constant thing is God got you.

Happy new month of May! I recorded a catch up session. I have been reconnecting with Allah, I moved, I got a house, I fell in love but.., I am building 2 new businesses.

Don’t worry about anything, but pray and ask God for everything you need, always giving thanks for what you have. And because you belong to Christ Jesus, God’s peace will stand guard over all your thoughts and feelings. His peace can do this far better than our human minds. Philippians 4:6‭-‬7
