Hosts: Dr. Simba Tirima & Gitari Tirima   Episode Overview In this debut episode, father-and-son duo Dr. Simba Tirima and Gitari Tirima open the doors to Generations in Conversation — an unfiltered space where life’s big questions meet lived experience, science meets scripture, and tradition meets the future. From the vulnerability of missed moments to the joy of rediscovery, they share stories of personal growth, generational perspectives, and the lifelong work of “becoming.” This is not a “10 steps to happiness” podcast — it’s an invitation into messy, honest, and transformative dialogue.   Key Themes & Highlights What stays, what changes: Defining the values that remain constant while embracing transformation. Self-kindness over self-flagellation: Lessons from leadership, failure, and redemption. Breaking stereotypes — including our own: How self-imposed labels can limit growth. The Expectation Effect: How mindset shapes physiology and reality, drawing from both science and Romans 12:2. Letting go to let come: Peeling back the layers to reveal your truest self. Rebuilding connection: Choosing hope to shape the future rather than fixing the past.   Resources & Mentions Book: The Expectation Effect by David Robson — how mindset shapes physical and emotional reality. Scripture: Romans 12:2 – “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Concepts Discussed: Placebo & Nocebo effects, mindset science, self-compassion practices.   Join the Conversation What’s one thing you wish you could ask your parent, child, or future self?
