In this intro episode she shares her ‘why’ for starting the Young Well Africa podcast. It is a space where stories of resilience are shared by young adults all over Africa living their truth. You get to learn how a typical modern young adults coped with difficult moments in their lives that led them to transform into who they are today

This year she is turning 35 and reflecting on her young adulthood journey and how listening to adulting stories from her three elder sisters helped her to create her own definition of success and cope better.

She hopes that the stories in the YWA podcast will help you reflect on what is best for you as well and deal with the pressure placed on the young adult by society.

DESCRIPTION OF THE YOUNG WELL AFRICA PODCAST

A collection of resilience stories from young adults across Africa.

Kagendo Munene is a therapist working with young adults and the founder of Beyonder, a wellness consultancy that works with young adults to innovate wellness in Africa.

She has decided to embark on a journey to contextualize wellness by sharing the lived experiences of young adults across the continent. She has noticed how stories of resilience are told in ways that do not fully capture the actual timeline where one was deep in the struggle. It minimizes the impact of the situation on their self-worth, relationships, and goals.

Young well Africa is a space where stories of resilience are shared by young adults all over Africa living their truth. You get to learn how a typical modern young adults coped with difficult moments in their lives that led them to transform into who they are today.

By listening to the stories of ordinary young adults she hopes you are encouraged to reflect on your personal way of coping and know that you are not alone on your young adulthood journey.
