Ah! Self-awareness!! That is my current journey and the most freeing, yet the most scary to say the least. I am going deep into my habits and questioning why I react to certain things in certain ways, why I fear certain things, the patterns I am breaking in relationships and finding out why it was recurring etc. All those 'why's' have their roots in my childhood and in very specific instances. My childhood was not bad at all, but as you have mentioned, we are so impressionable growing up and the slightest things have a ripple effect to our outlook on life and ourselves. The ripple goes out into adulthood. If not confronted we just end up living as broken people. Happy that I am taking a look in the mirror, into my past, and into my shadows and breaking the wheel! As for money, I say this all the time bana! Money is freedom! It is power! It guarantees choice! It is a stress reliever. It gives you elasticity of variety! Especially as women. Please lady, if you are reading this, SECURE THOSE BAGS!!!! Work very hard and get that money!!! It is often seen as shameful to want money but please, ignore that and get money and mutiply it! Let's live large, and live to our best because we damn sure deserve it! Also, #TeamBeyonce!!

I'm 36. What I know for sure...God is real!! there is NO SUBSTITUTE for seeking an intimate relationship with Him. He is your number ONE RIDE or DIE. I know for sure that you MUST NEVER ISOLATE yourself (a hectic life with toxic relationships can isolate). You MUST ALWAYS have someone you can talk to from your authentic self. You don't know everything so you will definitely benefit from the input of someone who loves you. Finally, SELF CARE is mandatory to life and it must be fitted into our everyday living by setting time to reconnect with yourself and living within your boundaries.

All I’ve learned is man constructed God and we Kenyans need to especially let go of the western construction of God. Many societies on earth tend to be peaceful and mindful without worship a God and unsurprisingly, they are some of the most safest and organized places on earth. Instead of burdening your problems to a God, learn to cope with them.

If you didn't use your 20's to screw up, 30's is not the place. Use your 30's to put things into perspective and in order then work on creating a balance of everything you have chosen to juggle.

In my 30 I have learnt nothing/no one stays the same :Forgiving is essential for growth, happiness and success and that step upwards :No one is responsible for anything in your life(except God) :How you think about anything matter way waaaaay much :People will hurt you,put you down,tell you you not good enough but how you duck that is entirely upto you :If you live your life for someone else you are actually dying and lossing yourself by the time you realise it you will never remember where you left yourself. :In order to take care ,love, worry,lift somebody else start with yourself. :Words can kill and build (especially Inthis time)etc

I am not yet thirty but, there's one thing that I have learnt. " Love is yours to give and your heart is yours to keep". Most often than not; we give people our hearts to keep,nurture and care for...what a huge responsibility we accord people yet we ourselves can't handle. Also, be kind to yourself💕

Uuuuuuum, actually, for anyone who believes in God, life does come with an instruction manual. It is the Bible. But just like anything good out there, it takes alot of hard work coz you have to read it and rely on God to help you interpret it and then apply it in your life, and for sure following these instructions isn't a walk in the park. It's one of the things i'm working on in my life and it's quite interesting. Cheers!!!

I know for sure at least for me: never expect anything from anyone, your siblings, spouse, children, friends etc. Do what you want to do without expecting people to give or do anything for you. These expectations can bring a lot of pain. And when the pain hits always find a way to vent it out in a positive, sane, and calm way...never bottle it up.

I think I learnt that self love is POWER in my 20’s. Especially if you’re a woman in this patriarchy society!

Books are awesome. However, I've seen this trend where people are so focussed on self development books. It's not a bad place to begin, but I'm on a mission to encourage everyone to read books to improve a skill that they are working on. I'm a writer and I've been enjoying books that speak about both non-fiction and fiction writing techniques, tips and anecdotes. I just want to share one thing with whomever is reading this comment: move beyond 'who you are' in your reading adventure and start reading about 'how you can do what you are in this world to do', better. Remember, you don't need school to learn. PS: Don't forget to apply all those self improvement skills that you've been reading about as you read and improve other additional practical skills.

Do you have some example of reading material as an example

i will be turning 32 in December and what i have come to learn is: 1. self awareness is key to a lot of things 2. i will be okay regardless of what i might be going through 3. learn to be the best version of yourself .that is always improve on yourself in every aspect of your life 4. Always try to see the bright side of something regardless of how bad things might look 5. learn to enjoy your own company 6.Take time to smile, laugh, breath, dance, sing, travel, read and basically enjoy life 7. learn to be a grateful, cheerful and thankful soul.always have a positive spirit 8. There is a God 9. Take a step at a time 10. Be kind and more loving to yourself

Been 30 for all of 3 weeks lol, and what I know for sure is that nothing is worth my peace. Letting less things get to me and I’ve learned to LOVE alone time whether it’s solo traveling, dancing to Afro beats around my house or indulging my inner foodie in a fancy restaurant...there’s something about living on your own terms and being 💯 comfortable in your own skin. 🙌🏾

Turning 30 soon and i wanna add,its okay not to realize that goal at the time you had set for it to hapen..dont beat yourself!! Above all,Gods plans are different from ours

I totally relate with 23.I have never been so much confident ever since i cut my hair out really short into a natural hairstyle .I just realised I was slowly losing my self confidence hiding behind those wigs.😊 P.s. invest in financial literacy. take hold of your personal finances,especially in your early twenties.

Let's appreciate how beautiful Sharon is guys!

I just turned #33 and what I know for sure is...life is about evolving from day to day, hour to hour, minute to minute and second to second. Life is about evolving into the person you want to be. Creating your self by allowing yourself to gro and evolve. It is about constantly becoming you.

First of all ...Seeing what you have become in the past 6 years from vlogging this is by far the most mature content I have ever heard from a Kenyan. The flow , the authenticity the growth all wrapped in one. You are the future of not just women but the youth!. Kudos Ess!. you are finally 30 ! I cant wait to see what the next 6 years have in store for you.Peace!

I really love how wholesome your videos are.

Powerful Sharon thanks for this....and happy birthday.

This was so enriching Ess thank you darling and Happy Birthday.

This is so precious Sharon, thank you ♥️. Have a great 30!

I really love this, it is very intimate for sure. I really love it, especially the thing about cutting your hair, I want to do that and it has just given me even more encouragement. Thank you for sharing these 30 things, I love

Thank you so much for sharing this!

I am 39 :) and the one thing I know for sure is that there are no short cuts in life... because good things take time.

It's crazy that everything you have mentioned are things I have discovered and re-discovered recently . Happy birthday in advance !

Thank you Sharon! I love everything about this video. I love and appreciate the fact that we as the youth (the future) are slowly warming up and embracing self awareness & consciousness. It's truly beautiful. We can only become the best version of ourselves when we know ourselves, love ourselves and work at growing/evolving each day. May God keep you and your family. Keep growing, keep evolving...we're supporting you! Road to 50k yaaay!

I love your hair your style and your philosophy about life. Keep up the good work.

Totally agree with no. 23 its liberating. You feel a type of elevated confidence

You're always an inspiration. At 32 I learnt many of these way before and some i continue to learn. Thanks for sharing.

Always looking forward to your vlogs... You really inspire me Sharon. Thank you 😄

This is amazing Sharon! I can't say I've religiously been keeping up but this is one of those videos that makes me want to get hooked. Happy 30th in advance . Such a darling

20 y/o here! Things I know for sure: 1. Whatever you do; do out of love 2. In a conflicting situation I ask myself: What would Jesus do? 3. The fruit comes last on the tree. 4. Social media whoaa, I finally got the courage to just delete my social media accounts i.e Instagram and Snapchat and I have never loved turing 20 more! Life is so different, more wholesome. I have made deeper connections with my friends! 5. As you make new friends, get to know the ones you already have more. 6. Do not go to sleep upset, deal with it before you sleep.

Sharon, this is the best video from you I have ever watched. Self awareness is the biggest and best one can do for oneself. I’m hitting 30 later this year and I’m content with myself, and I appreciate with my journey, regardless of where others are. The bit about motherhood resonated with me so much! I’m learning so much about myself through my little girl..I can’t even say how much. Thank you for this.

I'm just 21 and I am so glad that there's this army of black women inspiring me to thrive and do better

I watch this video almost everyday... Am going through tough times and this video gives me some form of encouragement thank you

Reading books is liberating. And reading a book that resonates with you, it brings so much purpose in your life. Thank you for this Sharon.

Waoh Sharon this was amazing. I turned 30 in December 2018 and mmh I'm loving it. I'm just working towards starting my own startup in California and it's scary but I need to push. I'm currently reading the Rooster bar by John Grisham for the month of March and it's great.
