“Being single, sober, and celibate isn’t something I’m flaunting as an achievement. It’s about taking a pause to listen to myself and make critical decisions. I’ve been single, sober, and celibate for over a year. I’m not sure when I’ll resume some of the things I’ve set aside. For now, I’m allowing myself to fully embrace this period.”

She further clarified that her decision stems from self-preservation rather than pleasure, admitting it has been both rewarding and challenging.

“It has brought me immense peace and perspective, but it’s not easy. We live in an overly sexualized society, and being celibate often leads people to assume something is wrong with you,” she said.

Janet also addressed rumors of her being involved with a younger man after posting a cryptic message on social media. In the post, she stated:

“You can meet a 45-year-old boy and a 23-year-old man—because maturity isn’t tied to your birth year. The same goes for women. Age might bring wrinkles, but it doesn’t always bring wisdom. Moral of the story: Don’t let the number fool you. 🎂”

She clarified the context of her post, emphasizing that it was misunderstood.

“People assumed it was about me dating a younger man, but that’s not the case. You can embrace different aspects of life that don’t always align with people’s assumptions,” Janet explained.

On June 25th, demonstrations against the proposed tax hikes and financial measures in the Finance Bill 2024 turned violent. Protests erupted across several Kenyan counties, with clashes between protesters and police escalating in Nairobi’s CBD, where live ammunition was used, resulting in the deaths of several protesters.

Mbugua’s message condemned the violence and urged President Ruto to take decisive action. She highlighted the deep-seated issues of corruption and public distrust that have fueled the anger and disappointment among Kenyans, who feel abandoned by a leadership prioritizing its interests over the citizens’ safety and well-being.

Mbugua called for a complete overhaul of the government, including cabinet changes and legislative reforms. She implored the President to listen to the people and address the root causes of frustration, reflecting the national mood demanding a shift in leadership and a commitment to serving the Kenyan people.

“Years of corruption and deceit have united Kenyans in anger and disappointment… We demand change… Don’t give people more reasons to protest,” Mbugua stated.

As more people continue to share their sentiments on the protests, President Ruto remains under increasing pressure to address the finance bill and respond to the nation’s demands for accountability and change.

Human rights activist and media personality Janet Mbugua is urging people to challenge societal expectations that cause shame and guilt, particularly in personal lives.

Mbugua, a mother of two, shared her thoughts on Instagram, calling shame, guilt, and judgment an “unholy trinity” that disrupts people’s lives. She highlights how societal milestones, like marriage or parenthood, often become benchmarks against which people are judged, especially women. Deviations from these expectations, even situations like co-parenting, can lead to feelings of shame and guilt.

Mbugua emphasizes that these feelings are common, and open discussion can be empowering. “It gives you so much validation when you realize it is global,” she writes.

She encourages her followers to find support in others who have navigated similar challenges and to practice self-compassion as they break free from societal pressures. Mbugua emphasizes the importance of letting go of shame and guilt, “until finally you are free of society’s perception of how life out to be.”

She also acknowledges the importance of faith for some on this journey, stating, “I also believe in the Holy Trinity and that turning our attention to that as we heal is critical.”

Mbugua’s message is a call to embrace personal journeys and challenge the limitations imposed by societal expectations.

Inspired by a movie, media personality Janet Mbugua embarked on a personal journey of reconnection with her high school sweetheart. The film’s theme of childhood friends reuniting in adulthood resonated deeply with Janet, prompting her to explore unresolved feelings from her past.

Taking a bold step, Janet decided to reach out to her former love. A mix of nervousness and curiosity fueled her desire to understand why their teenage romance hadn’t blossomed.

With disarming honesty, Janet shared,

“After the movie, I called someone. It made me think of this person I was with in high school. He was always a constant presence, a friend at the very least. So I called him and simply asked, ‘Why do you think we never ended up together?'”

Open to whatever the conversation might reveal, Janet sought closure and a deeper understanding of their past dynamic. Through their conversation, they unearthed reasons behind their youthful separation.

Janet reflected;

“We realized it might have been about timing or maturity. Maybe neither of us was quite ready. There were times we could have been together, but someone would back out, claiming to be too busy or overwhelmed. Now, years later, we’re both grown.”

Despite the road not taken, Janet found solace in the knowledge that both she and her former flame had matured and grown as individuals since their high school days.

Author and philanthropist Janet Mbugua isn’t afraid to get real. In a recent Instagram video, she bared her soul, talking about crying herself to sleep, wrestling with past trauma, and the importance of vulnerability in healing.

This mother of two isn’t just sharing relatable struggles; she’s actively processing them. Her tears, she explains, are an overdue release of unspoken grief from years past. Back then, living as a “big girl” meant holding everything in, a shield preventing true self-care.

But now, Janet’s letting go.

“Now when the tears come, I just let them flow,” she says, “and that is healing to me.” It’s a powerful message about confronting pain, not bypassing it.

While there are aspects of her journey she’s not ready to share yet, she assures her followers that she’s doing okay, in a much better place than before. “I’m still resolving what I’ve been through,” she admits, “but I’m not hiding anymore.”

Janet’s vulnerability isn’t just personal; it’s a beacon for others navigating their own emotional complexities. By openly acknowledging her struggles, she sends a powerful message: it’s okay to not be okay, and letting the tears flow can be part of the path to healing.

Media personality and philanthropist Janet Mbugua recently shared her journey to sobriety, almost two years after quitting alcohol.

Mbugua said that she made the decision to quit alcohol on her own, without any pressure from anyone or anything. She also said that she did not set a deadline for her sobriety, as she wanted to give herself the time and space to heal.

In a candid video on her YouTube channel, Mbugua revealed that she is excited to have reached this meaningful milestone. She also talked about the importance of discipline and self-compassion on the journey to sobriety.

Mbugua said that she refrains from putting unrealistic expectations on herself, as she knows that discipline does not come easy or naturally. She also said that it is important to be patient and kind to yourself during the healing process.

Mbugua’s decision to share her story is an inspiration to others who are struggling with alcohol addiction. Her message of self-compassion and discipline is a reminder that sobriety is a journey, not a destination.

Janet Mbugua’s second-born son Mali has turned 5 years old. The overjoyed mother threw him a birthday party in an Italian restaurant, where he was praised for being a joy to his family.

In a beautiful message, Mbugua expressed how much Mali means to her family:

Former news anchor Janet Mbugua shared a love poem she wrote for her ex-boyfriend 18 years ago on her Instagram account on August 8.

The poem, which is titled “The End of Us,” is about Janet’s heartbreak and the end of their relationship. She wrote the poem in 2004, after she and her boyfriend broke up.

Janet shared the poem with her followers, saying that she was surprised at how deeply she had been invested in her feelings for her ex-boyfriend 18 years ago.

“Another original poem from my collection. Feels like I’m sharing a super vulnerable piece of me online,” she wrote.

Despite feeling vulnerable, Janet said that she was also excited to share her poetry with her followers. She said that most of her poems are about love, lost love, passion, and relationships.

Janet’s followers were supportive of her decision to share the poem, and they praised her for her honesty and vulnerability.

One follower commented, “Thank you for sharing this beautiful poem. It’s so raw and honest, and it really resonates with me.”

Another follower said, “I’m so glad you shared this poem. It’s beautiful and heartbreaking, and it reminds me of a time in my own life when I was going through a similar heartbreak.”

Janet’s decision to share her poem is a reminder that it is okay to be vulnerable and to share our emotions with others. It is also a reminder that love is a powerful emotion that can both bring us great joy and great pain.

Janet Mbugua is a tireless traveler who uses her platform to raise issues that are important to her.

The first is menstruation. She wants to eradicate the discrimination against girls. She is revealing a very personal thing in the interim.

Janet posted on Instagram about a highly romantic poem she once penned in which she declared her eternal love for an ex-boyfriend. The former Citizen TV presenter is emotional as she remembers the love poetry she has ever written for an ex-lover.

“I found some poetry I wrote, between 2005 and 2007… In fact, the document has over 30 poems! It’s taken me back in time; so many of them are about love, lost love, passion, and relationships…so now I’m trying to think back and figure out who I was then, what I was thinking, dealing with. Who I was with!

This is one of the few I’m posting as I figure out what to do with the rest ???? Don’t laugh! Try not to ???? I was simply expressing myself 🙂 And clearly letting go of lost love!

#mafeelings#poetry#partsofme#love#loss,” she captioned her slight embarrassment.

And the poem was:

Funny I would think that two years ago,

I was the one thing you were certain of.

We were the heart of everything was a flirt,

You were gentle

I was the spoilt one

where you would spend

Funny, we thought we’d stay

Only to throw it all away

Strange that our paths crossed when I was up in arms

You were rational, I’d lost my mind

You were convinced that I was your kind

You talked and charmed me. I looked away

I knew I’d turn back and made you stay

Strange that we stood side by side

Only to find ourselves in this collide

Surreal, so surreal that it’s been two years

You moved on, I moved out, I stood alone, You fell in love

I remember everything

You’ve made it her world

Almost as if we never were

Janet Mbugua recently travelled to the coast to celebrate her birthday.

She needed some time alone away from her hectic routine because she was burnt out.

“I was dealing with something that was difficult and I didn’t know I was dealing with it, and so what this has allowed me to do is just be comfortable with the fact that vulnerability is actually a strength and it’s good for you. But it took me a long time to kind of put that in my mind.”

She was discussing her journey from the media to being a gender/menstrual rights advocate on the Working Smart and Living Well podcast, which was featured on Agenda Women.

The former media celebrity was dealing with a lot of problems.

“I think the last time I was vulnerable was probably last week around my birthday. I allowed myself for the first time ever to get in touch with myself. Coz I hadn’t had space, parental burnout, this burnout, work burnout, allow yourself two days, it is not the end of the world.

“And then I got vulnerable with myself and you know had to come to that place where emotions were let out, but it was within a space safe space, and it allowed me to be vulnerable because I’m like now you know it’s okay to be vulnerable.”

Former TV girl Janet Mbugua shared her take on the horrific video clip of her husband Eddie Ndichu and his twin brother Paul Ndichu being involved in a fight at Ole Sereni Hotel in Nairobi over the weekend.

While reacting to the drama that befell her husband, Janet condemned the incident while calling upon justice to prevail.

”I am sadden by increasing incidents of Gender-Based Violence. Over the last decade, I have joined my voice to efforts to #EndGBV. I condemn all forms of GBV irrespective of who is involved and will continue to speak out against it. We have laws in Kenya and justice must prevail.”

The viral video shared by activist Boniface Mwangi and blogger Edgar Obare also caught the attention of police boss; Hillary Mutyambai after Netizens urged law enforcers to intervene and bring the two brothers to book; following the weekend incident.

In response to the clip during his engage talk on Twitter, he directed the complainants to make a formal report at the nearest police station for immediate action.

“This incident should be reported to the nearest police station for action,” Mutyambai said.

Legal action is yet to be undertaken for the two ladies that were assaulted.
