In a recent social media post, Nominated Senator Karen Nyamu shared valuable advice with women on how to lead fulfilling lives independently, without relying on external factors for happiness.
Nyamu, a mother of three, reached out to women from diverse backgrounds, encouraging them to prioritize self-love and personal growth. Her message stems from her own experiences in a complicated relationship with Mugithi singer Samidoh Muchoki, who is married to Edday Nderitu, with whom Nyamu shares two children.
Nyamu’s post underscored the significance of self-love and emphasized the importance of valuing one’s emotional well-being. She urged women not to strive for perfection in every aspect of their lives, acknowledging that it is impossible to be a supermom, super housewife, super professional, and superwoman simultaneously.
Rather than pursuing an unattainable ideal, Nyamu encouraged women to focus on their emotional health as the cornerstone of a fulfilling life. Her message served as a reminder that women should not define their self-worth solely through their relationships, careers, or roles as mothers.
Nyamu eloquently expressed, “Women: You don’t have to do everything, you don’t have to be a supermom, a super housewife, a super professional, a superwoman. Because when your body claims you, there will be few who will remember you tried to be all in one!”
She further advocated for women to step out of their comfort zones, travel, exercise, visit parks or gyms, indulge in foods they enjoy, take care of their physical appearance, and prioritize their own needs. Nyamu emphasized the importance of self-care, self-love, setting boundaries, and making choices that benefit oneself.
In response to a netizen named Martha Mburu, who raised concerns about Nyamu’s recent feud with Sue Gacambi gaining attention in the US, Nyamu confidently defended herself. She stated, “My man has not played me. However, you are free to make up stories and believe them. Trending or not, it doesn’t define everyone. Whether it’s positive or negative attention, we tend to embrace it!”
Nyamu’s empowering advice serves as a valuable reminder to women to prioritize their emotional well-being, love themselves, and lead lives that are fulfilling independently of external sources.
