In part one of Steve Ataru’s story, we journey through Nairobi childhoods, the pressure of “golden opportunities,” and the courage it takes to start over. The moment that anchors this episode is raw and unforgettable: Steve’s newborn, Zayn, suddenly needs surgery and his wife’s intuition is the compass that saves precious time. This is a story about choosing alignment over approval, and learning to trust the wisdom right beside you. In this episode, you’ll hear:
- Growing up across Eastlands, Juja, and Lang’ata, and how environments shape resilience.
- Leaving a partial scholarship in Russia to return home and begin again.
- Surviving the in-between: hustling, odd jobs, and rebuilding identity through creativity.
- Dating, intention, and choosing partnership on purpose.
- A mother’s intuition: the Sunday morning crisis that led to Zayn’s surgery, and how it changed Steve’s outlook on partnership and parenting.
