We all go through life waiting for bliss to happen to us. We tick these boxes hoping at the end of it all we will feel fulfilled, satisfied and contented. Yet, if we were to be brutally honest with ourselves; this projection of wanting to achieve such key needs that come from within with anything without is a myth! This is so as needs that arise internally can never be matched to things attained externally. A house, a spouse, a child cannot complete, define or even satisfy us. It is the continuous endeavor to keep on rediscovering, redefining and even reconnecting with ourselves that shifts everything. Naomi's story shows how this shift happened for her and how you as a woman can embrace such bold shifts in life. Indulge us.

I had achieved all the things that I had wanted in life, as per my goals at 30 years. Things such as spouse, kids, home. However, I still felt extremely frustrated. I no longer understood myself. Nothing was exciting me anymore. I had lost myself at some point in life. I did not know where I was and what was wrong with me. With time, I became very bitter with everyone. I blamed everyone for my lack of happiness. This emptiness led me to add lots of weight. I relied on food to meet a need within . I had become an emotional feeder.

Additionally, I became very withdrawn and could lock myself in my bedroom all day. I remember after my kids left for school and spouse left for work, I would sleep all day and munch packets of biscuits, chocolates, sodas, much sweetened tea all in one day. [...]

Has life ever made sense for so long yet in one instance everything you thought you knew works just doesn't feel clear anymore? Have you gone through a moment in life that led you to question the lenses through which you viewed life from? Sometimes life has lessons only best learned when experienced, mine led me to a journey of BECOMING a woman I love.

We’ve all experienced pain at different levels in life. However, pain can make us bitter or better. We get to choose whether or not we will grow through our pain. The answers we long to hear and understand is how do we turn our pain into lessons of growth? What do we need to unlock to help us embrace our pain, instead of being shameful? Ho do we embrace a learner’s mindset; carefully analyze our pain to acknowledge lessons that can make us become better? Alabastron’s Renewing Self program was the key that unlocked Bevaline and led her to use her pain shape the woman she is knew she can become. She shares her turn around below.

On a Saturday afternoon, Bevaline recounts how this journey has transformed who she is. In laughter and gratefulness.

“I learned about Alabastron from a friend of a relative who invited me to the open day. On attending the open day event organized at within Nairobi, I was touched by the warmth of the women who welcomed me.” She remembers vividly.

“I decided to take the program because I wanted to know how to deal with the fact that I will never find answers to all the questions I had. I also desired to become like the women who welcomed me. I longed to join these women because they willingly listened to all women without any sense of judgement.” She continues to reveal. [...]

Since the pandemic began, we have ensured that the restorations of women’s significance through emotional wellness continues to happen. This is achieved through the available online channels that we’ve engaged with even while maintaining the excellence, dedication and commitment we offered to our clients during the physical classes.

Most of this year’s seasons of our flagship program, Renewing, has happened online. Whilst, it is practical to compare the two experiences and assume that the experience is of a higher value in the physical sessions, our commitment to women & girls weighs heavily when it comes to our consumer’s experience.

Our online sessions are carried out with the highest quality of standard that can be attained though the unique coaching techniques our coaches apply. Also, the team that enables the smooth running of class is always ready to help in case of anything as technology’s faulty nature is above human control.

Mercy Nderitu’s story shows how the value of our sessions remains whether physical or online. Why we do the way we do them such that online or physical our interaction with each woman or girl is transformative and excellent. Read through her story to learn how her experience of reviewing and renewing her own self has led her to thrive in life. [...]

Alabastron’s commitment to women is that they are able to find answers from within that are driven from an authentic, self-conscious and self-aware perspective. The testimonies of these women differ from each experience because every woman’s journey is personal and unique. Lydia, shares her experience of the Renewing Self Journey and this is what she shared.

I am in RS Season 43 and I am very happy to be writing down this email and share my experience over the last couple of weeks walking in this journey. I had taken the time to write to Laimani before sometime at the beginning of last month as she had urged us in the RS manual to do. I will reiterate here some of the things I already shared with her.

First of all, mine is to really and sincerely thank you for putting this gem that is Alabastron program out there for women. I cannot believe that I did not come here any sooner. Nothing and no one from the people around me that went through the course could have prepared me for the truth and revelation that is contained in this journey. I was searching for answers and feeling very stuck in life. I started to shop around for a personal coach, a course, sermons, motivational books, anything that could jump start me and then God led my feet here. Even though it is an online group program I feel that it has been delivered in a very personal way, with a lot of professionalism, truthfulness and genuine care for the wellbeing of all the participants.
