She Was Called “Useless”… So She Chose Herself | For Mannerless Women

She Was Called “Useless”… So She Chose Herself | For Mannerless Women

Author: Legally Clueless March 26, 2026 Duration: 51:14
She was told she was “useless.” In that moment, everything shifted. In this episode of the Legally Clueless Podcast, Terry Muikamba-Gitonga shares her journey from shrinking in toxic work environments to choosing herself and building something of her own. From navigating self-doubt and people-pleasing to doing the inner work and trusting her intuition, Terry opens up about what it really takes to walk away from spaces that diminish you and create a life that feels true. This is a conversation about:
  • Self-worth and trusting yourself
  • Recognising toxic work environments
  • The courage it takes to leave
  • Healing and doing the inner work
  • Building something aligned with who you are
This episode is your reminder: the validation you’re looking for… you already have it.

Each week on Legally Clueless, Adelle Onyango turns the microphone toward the beautifully messy reality of growth. As a well-known Kenyan media personality and social activist, she doesn't offer polished advice from a stage, but instead documents her own unvarnished experiences, framing her life as an evolving and unapologetically African woman. This creates a rare and welcoming atmosphere where uncertainty isn't a flaw but a shared starting point. The heart of this podcast lives in the stories-Adelle opens the space for a chorus of African voices to share personal narratives that might teach you something one moment and have you laughing or crying the next. These aren't theoretical discussions; they're authentic accounts from everyday lives, full of the specific textures and truths that often go unheard. Tuning in feels less like attending a lecture and more like sitting in on a powerful, ongoing conversation where the only requirement is to be human. You'll find a sense of connection in hearing others navigate the same complexities you do, all within the candid and compassionate world this podcast builds every episode.
