Transitions in life are inevitable. They are the defining moments that fuel our identity, unforeseen incidences, and the opportunities that drive us to change our paths in life.
Amani Maranga and Kevin Kanyottu look into the situations that define transitions in their lives. These transitions are defined by new initiatives, bold decisions as well and transitions that happen in the due course of time. Such as growing children; dealing with pre-teens and teenagers, and taking care of aging parents. Others are unforeseen such as loss of life, loss of marriage, loss of jobs, disillusionment
Listen in as we establish what these transitions are and how they affect our lives.

Many men, including myself in their 40s are faced with the uphill task of defining who they are, what they do, and why they do what they do. This is a season in a person’s life where terms such as half-time, mid-life crisis, checkpoint, crossroads, junction, and others have been coiled to define the experiences that they face in their lives.
Men, mostly are faced with the hard task of balancing and juggling many balls in life and end up with stress, disappointment, disillusionment as well and suicidal thoughts while they toil with the questions asked around mid-life.
Young men, adult men, and old men begin to act and manifest symptoms of what may seem awkward and unusual to those that are around them leaving their friends, family, and society shocked and confused at the person facing mid-life.
We speak to Zephaniah Ananda author of the book Grafted to Kingdom Sonship: (Check it here: https://tinyurl.com/5n8adkwd) on this topic. We define who Mid-Life affects, the age as well as the reasons.
Chime in with us as we delve into these discussions.

This episode concludes the final episode of the series: The scenarios that lead to extra marital affairs. In this episode, we speak about the couples that have children who have left their homes and become vulnerable to one another. Without friendship and a bond created when the children were there, there is a likelihood that the environment could become unfamiliar to them.
There is also the scenario of having houseboys and house helps that could be outlets for the gaps that are created in the marriage by empty nesting season or in times when the spouses have traveled and have not been emotionally, or physically available in the homes.
