  • Meditation, polarity and gaping holes in the education system
    Feb 11 2024

    This week on 'How It Is with Whitney and Waigwa,' it's just me, Waigwa, flying solo because, well, KPLC decided to do their thing. But fear not, because we've got a packed episode lined up for you!


    Join me as I take a reflective journey through the past week. From delving into Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) to exploring the profound insights of Gestalt therapy, we're diving deep into the world of mental wellness.

    But that's not all—get ready for an inside look at my experience as an intern counselor at a Kenyan public school. I'll be shedding light on some gaps in our education system and the crucial role of mental health support for our students

    .

    So, lets get into it. Because even when the lights go out, the conversation never stops on 'How It Is.'
