    You’re Not Lazy. Maybe You’re Self-Sabotaging | Mid Week Tease

    This week on The Mid Week Tease, Adelle Onyango unpacks self-sabotage, what it really is, where it comes from, and how it quietly shows up in your daily life. If you’ve ever called yourself lazy, inconsistent, or undisciplined, this episode invites you to look deeper. Self-sabotage isn’t random. It’s patterned, protective, and often rooted in early beliefs about who you are and what you deserve. In this episode, Adelle explores the psychology behind self-sabotage, why chaos can feel more comfortable than peace, and how fear of being seen might be keeping you stuck. Most importantly, she shares practical ways to begin shifting these patterns, without shame, and without becoming someone else. In this episode, we cover: What self-sabotage actually is (and why it’s not laziness)How childhood experiences shape your patterns (inspired by Alfred Adler)Why your nervous system chooses familiar pain over unfamiliar peaceThe subtle ways self-sabotage shows up (procrastination, perfectionism, overthinking)The fear of being seen and how it keeps you playing smallWhy it’s so hard to stop self-sabotagingSimple, realistic ways to start shifting your patternsListen to The Mid Week Tease A Legally Clueless Africa show, new episodes out every Wednesday on our podcast channel everywhere you stream podcasts.

    A Man Is Not Oxygen: Choosing Yourself Without Fear | For Mannerless Women

    This week on For Mannerless Women, we sit down with Ciku Cheru, author, journalist, storyteller, and explorer, for a conversation that will challenge everything you’ve been taught about womanhood. From her grandmother who refused marriage and still built a full, thriving life, to her own journey of solo travel across 60+ countries, this episode is a powerful reminder that there is no one way to live. We talk about: • Why marriage is often framed as a “must” for women and why it isn’t • The fear many women carry about being alone and how to unlearn it • Solo travel, independence, and building a life that feels like yours • Outgrowing your “pick me” era and embracing your full self • Why anything that makes you shrink is a red flag Mannerless Message of the Week: Lovebomb yourself. Become the source of the life you’re waiting for.
