After numerous conversations on Parental Trauma and Dating Relationships, it is truly good to know there is a place to find healing. You just need to be tired enough to decide to heal.

On this episode of Conversations with Kalekye, we are honoured to have a seasoned therapist, Ruth Waithira, who admits that she herself found out that being un-fathered from age two showed up as trauma in her relationships and that led her to seeking to heal and help others as a certified emotional wellness coach and author.

Ruth helps us breakdown the way Parental Trauma manifests, its disregard for boundaries and the journey to healing. Learn more from her book 'Hidden Abuse' https://ruthwaithira.com/step/thehabook

As we gear up from 2026, we would love to hear your feedback.

Children learn more from what they see than what they're told.

In this episode of Conversations with Kalekye, Korry Bachia shares how witnessing her father's violence toward her mother shaped her view of men, love, and self-worth.

Determined not to repeat her mother's story, she built her life in full masculine energy — always showing up for everyone but herself. Korry opens up about self-abandonment, healing from parental trauma, and rediscovering purpose beyond the roles of wife and mother.

Parental Trauma is often defined by what a child perceives of how they were treated or spoken to - but it also appears in what a child grew up watching. There are two ways it could go - completely avoid it successfully OR go in trying to run away from through the same situation without recognising it.

That is the story of author, Agatha Mwende whose life flipped and turned when her single mum got married to a man who was polygamous. The trauma she observed watching her mum cry herself to sleep after having arguments over her step father's infidelity got her afraid thinking every man will cheat or end-up polygamous.

In the twist of it all she shares with our host Kalekye that how she built an idea that turned out to be the illusion of forever - her desire to have a solid relationship and family put her into a state that led her to trauma in her own relationship.

Agatha's story gives perspective that we may often be subconsciously influenced by the dysfunction we witness.
