Spellbound Chronicles

For years, I toiled under the sun, ploughing and planting maize on my farm in Kitale. I did everything right—bought quality seeds, followed the farming calendar, and worked tirelessly. But each season ended the same: with empty granaries and a heart full of frustration. Thieves. That was my biggest enemy. No matter how hard I …

"Fortune favors the bold." I’ve always believed in this saying, but for years, I didn’t quite understand what it meant. Boldness, I thought, was about taking risks investing in a business, asking for a promotion, or even speaking your mind when no one else does. But then, something happened that made me rethink everything. It …

Starting a business can feel like a rollercoaster ride. Some days everything flows, and you feel unstoppable, but on other days, it feels like you're pushing against a wall. Customers disappear, suppliers fall behind, and your once-bright idea feels like it's weighed down by a thousand burdens. It's easy to get stuck, wondering where things …

I remember the day I received my class 8 exam results. While others celebrated, my heart was heavy. My relatives—those I had looked up to—whispered that I would never make it in life. Maybe they were right, I thought. My parents couldn’t afford to send me to secondary school, and that marked the beginning of …

If someone had told me last year that I would be talking about money attraction spells in Kenya, I would have probably laughed and changed the subject. Not because I am too educated for that kind of thing, but because life had never pushed me to consider it seriously. Back then, I still believed I …

"From Cleaner to Corporate: How Dr. Mugwenu Changed My Life" There was a time I felt like all hope was gone. I had spent six years in university, working hard, believing that one day my degree would open doors to a better future. But after graduation, reality hit me like a storm. No job. No …

Ever feel like no matter how hard you try, something’s always working against you? You’re hustling day and night, but things just don’t seem to add up. Your business isn’t picking up, your relationships feel strained, and even your health seems to take a hit for no reason. Sounds familiar, right? Well, you might be …

Let’s be honest because ife in Kenya right now is tough. Prices are rising, taxes are heavy, jobs are scarce, and even if you’re employed, money just never seems to stretch. You work hard, but by mid-month, you’re already counting coins and managing loan messages. The worst part? You see others doing well driving nice …

Let’s be honest heartbreak is no joke. It messes with your mind, your mood, even your money. You can’t eat, can’t sleep, can’t focus. One minute you’re fine, the next you see their photo and your heart breaks all over again. In Kenya, most of us don’t rush to talk about love problems. We hide …

Sometimes, life gets hard in ways we can’t fully explain. Maybe your relationship is falling apart. Maybe you’ve tried business after business with no success. Or you’re dealing with strange bad luck that just doesn’t go away. When nothing seems to work, some people turn to something that has always been part of our culture  …

There was a time in my life when I truly believed everything was over. My wife left me, and with her went the light, the laughter, and the life I once knew. Every morning, I used to hear my two daughters calling me “dad.” Their voices filled our home with warmth and purpose. But then—silence. …

I remember the days when my business was just a dream turned reality. I had put in everything—my savings, my time, my energy. But instead of growing, it started to crumble before my eyes. Each day brought more losses. Customers stopped coming. I tried changing strategies, promotions, even shifting products, but nothing worked. It was …

I never thought I’d share this part of my life, but here I am, telling my story in hopes that it might help someone going through something similar.
