FOR MANNERLESS WOMEN LIVE | ACT 2: OUR 40s; EXPANSION
What if your 40s weren't about achieving more, proving yourself or meeting everyone else's expectations, but finally giving yourself permission to LIVE?
Welcome to Act 2 of our very first For Mannerless Women Live! We're stepping into our 40s, a decade we're calling EXPANSION!
Adelle Onyango is joined by media personality and entrepreneur Janet Mbugua and pleasure advocate and founder of G-Spot Kenya Bev Munga for an honest, hilarious and deeply affirming conversation about what happens when women stop performing for the world and start living on their own terms.
Janet opens up about navigating divorce, setting boundaries with family, redefining success and learning to honour the pause. Bev shares how losing her father transformed her perspective on life, why she's unapologetically childfree and how her 40s have become a season of enjoying everything she worked so hard to build.
Together, they unpack evolving friendships, pleasure and bodily autonomy, the freedom to make unconventional choices and why women don't owe the world an explanation for the lives they choose.
And when the audience takes the mic, the conversation gets even more powerful!
In this conversation, we explore:
•
Setting boundaries without guilt, even with family.
•
Letting go of people-pleasing and the pressure to prove yourself.
•
Redefining ambition, success and what a fulfilling life looks like.
•
Why honouring your season of rest can be an act of courage.
•
Navigating divorce, grief and changing friendships.
•
Reclaiming pleasure, freedom and bodily autonomy.
•
Choosing motherhood, childfreedom or your own unconventional path.
•
Trusting yourself even when others don't understand your decisions.
Because sometimes, expansion isn't about adding more to your life. It's about letting go of everything that keeps you from being fully yourself.
This is Act 2 of For Mannerless Women Live! Catch Act 1, Our 30s: Becoming, on the Legally Clueless Africa Spotify channel, and join us next week as we explore Our 50s & Beyond!
