“HOW I LANDED IN THE PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL”

A story never to be forgotten.

What do you think about this method of instilling discipline?

Let’s talk about the questions nobody asks about therapy…”

You’ve had the questions…
You just didn’t know who to ask.

📌“Do I actually need therapy?”
📌“Will a therapist judge me?”
📌“What really happens in a session?”

So I’m starting something honest. Real. Necessary.

For the next few days, I’ll be answering the most asked—but least spoken—questions about therapy, mental health, relationships, trauma, anxiety, and healing.

No fluff. No jargon. Just clarity.

Because confusion keeps people stuck…
and the right information can change your life.

“CUSTOMERS ARE ALWAYS RIGHT...”
The missing second half (often ignored)

An eye-opening insight to protect your mental health from t0xic clients/customers.

In retail and business circles, a more complete version exists:

“The customer is always right in matters of taste.”

This changes everything.

It means:

If a customer likes something you think is ugly → they’re right
If they prefer a product you think is inferior → they’re right
If they value something differently → they’re right

It does NOT mean:

Customers are factually correct
Customers can behave abusively
Customers can override policies, ethics, or reality

When it applies (proper context)
1. Customer preferences
Style, taste, choices, expectations
Example: A guest prefers a specific room setup you wouldn’t choose
2. Customer experience
How they feel about your service
Even if you disagree, their experience is still valid.
3. Service recovery
When something goes wrong, you prioritise:
Listening
Empathy
Resolution over argument
When it does NOT apply

This is where many businesses get it wrong.

The phrase should NOT justify:

❌ Abuse or disrespect

Customers are not “right” when they:

Insult staff
Manipulate policies
Demand unreasonable concessions
❌ Violating policy or fairness
Refund fraud
Queue jumping
Special treatment that harms other customers
❌ Ignoring expertise
A customer insisting on something unsafe or technically wrong
(e.g., in healthcare, engineering, or even hospitality operations)
The modern, expert interpretation

In high-level customer experience strategy, the phrase is reframed as:

“The customer is always heard, understood, and valued—but not always obeyed.”

This balances:

Empathy + Boundaries
Experience + Operational integrity

CHILD MARRIAGE: HARM OR PROTECTION

Some take away I shared from my speaking Engagement yesterday with and other amazing professionals.

📌 Child marriage is not a cultural nuance.
It is a developmental interruption, a psychological injury and a rights violation.

📌 A child is not a wife.

📌 A child is not ready for negotiation, submission or survival within marriage.

📌 She is ready for safety, education, identity and choice.

📌 A system cannot be called protective of the person it protects is not safe within it.

📌 The real question is not ‘Is child marriage protection or harm?’

The real question is- ‘Why are we still calling harm by a softer name?’

📌 Poverty is a crisis- but marrying off a child is not a solution, it’s a transfer of vulnerability.
We’re not solving poverty- we’re relocating the risk from the family to the child.

Finally, wherever you sit- parent/guardian, policy maker, educator, community leader- you have influence.
Use it.

Because every time we delay action, another girl is told her life can wait.

And it cannot.👌💯

15 Y/O completes su***de because her dad took her phone from her as a disciplinary measure to curtail excesses.

Dear Parents,

Are we still sleeping?

Are we a@rming and weaponising our children by giving them phones, I mean smart phones?

We see infants and toddlers being given phones, screens as their parent, companions, instructors and these children end up getting screen-addicted, missing out on necessary milestones achievement, show neurodivergent traits typical of ADHD, ASD- Autism Spectrum Disorder, delayed speech amongst others.

Parents arm their children with phones at underaged.
No digital sensitization, no parental control.
Just vibes and nonchalance.

We allow society full of depr@ves minds to teach, model and groom our children while we focus on chasing status, class and social media validation and suddenly expect to raise wholesome children like it’s an abracadabra jinx.

No child should have any business with a Smart phone until:
📌 they are done with Secondary/High School
📌 They have been sensitized about sexuality education
📌 Sensitised on digital media, digital safety
📌Taught phone and digital space etiquettes, identifying red flags

Generally, you must have taught your child well enough about life, family values before handing them a we@pon whose trigger they would pull against themselves.

We also need to raise wholesome, emotionally intelligent, resilient, grateful, disciplined children that understand that “No” is a part of a response.
That life is not a bed of roses.
That rejections would come, but they shouldn’t define you.
That they shouldn’t shrink, d1e or become a different bad version of themselves because life didn’t go the way they envisaged.

Parents, our duty isn’t limited to providing funds, paying bills and meeting needs, it includes showing up, and showing up correct, being emotionally and physically available, understanding all your children they way they are, instilling discipline, modeling values and character, enforcing reward and punishment systems, so children know that there is a thing called “cause and effect.”

I can write on and on, but do we learn?😔

Parents we have a lot of work to do.

It’s time to wake up!

24/04/2026

Somebody should catch that DJ for me.🙄👀👀

My husband lied that I was kidnapped.
He lies unprovoked.

I received this story after I shared about Pathological Lying/Liars in light of the trending events surrounded popular influencer who lies about having stage 4 cancer and all the charades and embarrassment that went with it.
