    Who Are You Beyond Your Wounds? | Mid Week Tease

    This week on The Mid Week Tease, Adelle explores a question many of us rarely ask ourselves: Who are you beyond your wounds? As women, we're often praised for how much we can endure. We celebrate resilience, sacrifice, and survival. But what happens when pain becomes the primary way we understand ourselves? In this episode, Adelle unpacks why so many women build identities around struggle, why suffering is often mistaken for strength, and how pain can quietly become the centre of our lives. She also explores the radical possibility that joy, delight, pleasure, beauty, and aliveness are not rewards we earn after healing, they are part of what it means to be human. If you've ever found yourself defining yourself by what you've survived, this episode is an invitation to imagine who you might be beyond your pain. In this episode: How pain can become part of our identityWhy women are often rewarded for sufferingThe difference between honouring pain and living inside itHow struggle becomes a measure of worthWhy joy, delight and pleasure deserve a place in our livesThe question every healing journey must eventually answer: What am I healing toward?Connect with us: Newsletter: https://www.legallycluelessafrica.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/legallycluelessafrica/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@legallycluelessafrica YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/LegallyCluelessYoutube Share your story: https://forms.gle/kMn7Wae5N563JFGQ8

    My Teacher Said I Would Amount To Nothing | Legally Clueless Ep 380

    When Jeanette Soi was growing up, school became a place where she slowly began to question her worth. In this deeply relatable episode, Jeanette shares memories of being publicly shamed for her grades, experiencing favoritism from teachers, and carrying the painful belief that her academic performance determined her future. As teachers and classmates repeatedly reinforced the idea that she wasn't smart enough, she began to internalize those messages and doubt herself. But behind her was a family that never stopped believing in her. This is part one of Jeanette's story.

    You’re Probably Resting Wrong. The 7 Types Of Rest We Actually Need | Mid Week Tease

    This week on The Mid Week Tease, Adelle Onyango unpacks the different kinds of rest and why sleep alone may not be fixing your exhaustion. So many of us are burnt out in ways we haven’t learned to name. We sleep, take breaks, scroll online, binge shows and still feel tired. Why? Because not all exhaustion is physical. In this episode, Adelle explores the 7 different types of rest, from emotional rest and sensory rest to creative, mental, social, physical, and spiritual rest, and how chronic overstimulation, emotional labor, burnout, and constant productivity culture are affecting our wellbeing. This episode is a reminder that rest is not laziness. It is restoration.

In this episode, Adelle explores: What emotional abuse actually isThe psychology behind gaslighting and trauma bondsWhy emotionally abusive relationships are difficult to leaveHow emotional abuse impacts your nervous systemSigns a relationship may be emotionally unsafeRebuilding self-trust after emotional harmThe episode also references insights from therapists and trauma experts including Dr. Ramani Durvasula, Dr. Gabor Maté, Nedra Glover Tawwab and Lundy Bancroft.
