I'm here for Lornzie's hair!!! It. Is. Giving.

I wish Jules all the happiness in this world aki

You know you're an adult when you wake yourself up to go hustle!

Jules! Don’t worry about geriatric pregnancy. I am 43 with my first . It all works out!

There are some people like me who feel like we have been adulting all our lives. #FirstbornDaughter. Ever since I was young, I always had to put others first before myself. I learnt how to take care of the home, know what is needed, what has run out. Stepping into adulthood has not been as hard for me because I have always had to do a lot of stuff for others and also for myself from a young age. I moved to France about 3 years ago and I did all the processes myself (school application, visa, passport, scholarship) and I would pass on the information to my dad 🤓 but it is not easy because while I am just in my twenties, at times I feel like i have lived 60 years 😵‍💫

You know you're an adult when you can't visit your parents empty handed. Or when you start getting shopping even when you live with them

I became an adult when i was comfortable saying no. Period, no explanation.

Wow ivy is so thoughtful to actually ask them, how they are. She is such a darling 💕

I knew I was an adult when I gave birth to my daughter,, and I looked at her tiny self and thought to myself...am all she got!!!!

1. You know you are adult when you start doing self introspection. 2. You know you are adult when you start going out of your way to learn about finances. 3. Yoy know you are an adult when you start being keen on matters global system, how it operates and the economics behind it. 4. You know you are an adult when you come to the realisation that everything in your life depends on YOU. 5. You know you are an adult when you start aligning your energy and time to the things that matter to you irrespective of any one’s opinions.

I knew I was an adult when I started watching and enjoying every episode of over 25✨✨

I realised that I'm an adult (I'm 26) when I had to take this year to study and upgrade my skills because I couldn't get decent employment!

Maaahn Ivy should be paiiiid for her marketing skills. The number of apps I have solely based on her input …🤯

You know you’re an adult when you have to be your own motivational speaker, pep yourself up to do the hard things. Such a lovely episode, had me reflecting on a couple of things. Loved it!

You know you're an adult when you start fixing things like a blocked sink coz plumbers are expensive

When you start wearing Kamatas and Spanx to hold the stomach in 😂😭😅

Julia said the ocean just looked sad AND I FELT THAT 😂😂😂

Ivy just threw "when i used to live with my baby daddy" in there

Lornzie looks so beautiful😍😍😍... This is very educative,,, I'm under 25 yet learning alot and preparing myself for some of the things

I knew I was an adult when my laptop was no longer for watching movies.

I sit every Monday and watch these 4 ladies and what comes to my mind every time is I would love to watch a Netflix movie about their lives. You four are so different and diverse and that's what makes your friendship so unique and keeps it thriving.

I am 100 percent on board with Jules in that the idea of paying for healthcare in unethical. People are dying because they are poor and it cannot be allowed to happen

The hardest part of living alone as a single person,is being sick when there's no one around to help.Waah😭

That point on health by Julia really resonates with me. Especially if you work in healthcare in Kenya and see how those who do not have money cannot get treatment. Some public hospitals do not even have basic medication. It really is sad since health is a basic human right.

The way Ivy calls Lornzie "baby" at 5:35 🥰🥰 The love you guys have for each other is so authentic, it radiates so effortlessly and that's what makes this channel so special. You feel like you're at the feet of wise women, soaking up wisdom, and love.

This has been a very important conversation and I believe its time that we ask why we always feel not ready for adulting. Truth is, we are barely prepared for what real life looks like. There is a lot of cushioning children from what real life entails and I think its about time that changes. We feel unprepared for adulthood because all through childhood and teenagehood, parents try to create a perfect picture and not share the challenges of life and then one day you wake up and realize life is hard. 😑

It's the, " Hio ni wash wash " comment from Lornzie from me. I'm literally on floor because that's what I always say! Hahaaa.

Lornzie is literally glowingggg😍 dress, hair, lipstick, skin👌👏

Listening to this episode I was struck by how much corruption has affected life in Kenya. I'll explain, first, access to healthcare. NHIF is similar to the government run systems in Europe and the UK, the UK has NHS for example. If you read about these systems online, you will see that they are not perfect, they support millions but even then, sometimes not everyone's needs are met. Healthcare is expensive world over. But in Kenya public hospitals lack even the most basic of supplies in some cases. Why is this the case? Theft of public funds etc that are supposed to cater for these and other needs for the public good. Even in Europe, there are private insurance schemes but usually they supplement the government programs. The same can be extended to education, most people I know are now sending their kids to private schools either because the quality of education in public schools has fallen or they cannot access a good school close to them. It is hard having to pay out of pocket for almost everything, that is why it is important to have a system where you can access some services through the public system. In addition, each of these ladies is working for themselves, so in terms of accounting for certain services, they have to do it on their own. I am not saying it is a bad thing, it is just different. Some of these things are somewhat masked when one is an employee, your employer remits taxes to KRA, they might provide a health insurance cover even though deductions might come from your paycheck etc. So to sum my long comment, I wish Kenyans would realize that some of the difficulties in navigating life as an adult are coming from the dysfunctions in the system, and/or sabotage of systems that were setup to provides services to the public but are left to crumble to benefit individuals out to make money. Coming to this realization might mean people reject corruption and demand more accountability from leaders and really anyone working in an institution designed to serve the public.

Lornzie- your point on the year feeling short is spot on! When you’re busier time flies faster and before you know it, it’s the end of the year. Unlike when we were young and had enough time to get “bored”

I discovered that I'm an adult when I moved out from my parents House 🏠.I realized that the curtains,mops and beddings they don't come with the house 🏠.they actually cost a million.water is not boiled on gas nor beans.Not giving someone money without valid reason is make you stingy.Also doing kra returns, Annual check up without being forced.paying for insurance and groceries.housr repairs.Adulting is real

It hit am an adult when I had a tough day and broke down into tears when I reached home and I had no one to talk to so I had to talk myself out of the situation and say no one is coming get the f**k up and move on

Hey Fellow First Borns. We became adults a short while after the second borns came really. I am 27 now and it hits me that I am an adult when I realize that no one is gonna help me figure my shit out. LIke, it is my responsibility to heal myself in all aspects (especially financially) before I think about committing to someone. Like, I cannot just go about forming relationships carrying so many burdens. And for real, this realization especially came when I turned like 25. Lemme not write and essay

Hapo kwa being mindful of the resources you have in the house is where I truely realized am an adult.

Amazing episode as always. Regarding the expressway, it is under private good not public good. The 72B spent was fully funded by the Chinese, and our governments job was to ensure that the toll was affordable for Kenyans. Other than that the Kenyan Government had no input in much of the operations, as it is not under public good in Economics.

Shout out from Rwanda, You are such an adorable circle, but Jules and Ivy knock me off my feet, I just love the way you express yourselves.

Adulting hit me properly....very well...like a month ago...when my friend lost her husband....for me to imagine that now...my friends are becoming widows....Lord...

Thank you for this and how appropriate you have been. My adulthood kicked in when l decided to move out of my uncle’s house (after moving to Kansas City from Nairobi) at age of close to 20 because he wanted to use his homophobia to control me. I bounced out and since then never asked a dime from him!

First borns need a holiday aki!!

Loved the episode, taking care of your parents thing is so true, that slaps differently

Lornzie, I'm with you. I am always saying adulthood is like Monday- Friday, Monday-Friday, Monday-Friday, oooppppssss!!! Happy New Year!!! Rubbish 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hi ladies, thoroughly enjoyed this episode. This could be a great series, the scam that is ... investing etc etc . Have a wonderful week.

Adulting is hard buana. relocting to Europe was the biggest adulting season for me. Figuring things out wacha tu. Plus I had covid in a foreign country last month I had to parent myself. Anyway Its interesting how in different seasons and challenges you see a different you show up for you. I love you guys.

Wooow, ladies this really resonated with me. Signs that show I've adulted: I check my restaurant bill in detail before I pay. I've been charged a couple of times for something I didn't have/buy.

I knew I was an adult when I had to track my tokens use esp. nowadays when elec is so high up....Also, knew it when tracking my expenditure calculating how and where I can reduce costs on and how I can stretch my meals and shopping for longer. Eish! Gherroooo I agree on the pressure thing too. Nowadays it is so hard not to compare since people put most of their highlights on SM and you're huko caught up in between manifesting and moneyfesting when some people just have to ask from home and get it done. I am trying to think that it gets better with time perhaps...because the speeds out here are at 1000 Wueh's per hour because wuuueehhhh! I enjoyed this one ladies.

Guys for the airlock just open your taps and leave them running for like 2mins. I know I am an adult because I understand this.

In university, my laptop and phone got stolen and I couldn't cry to my mum juu she is home. It hit me that you can't cry anymore when yo loose things you have to look for a solution with your OWN MONEY.

Thanks ladies for this great content, I am going through all the things you ladies have said. Paying rent, uni tuition and medical. I am pushing on with my low salary God has been Faithful. Every morning is black tea 😊

honestly am never on KZfaq that much BUT THIS EPISODE!!!! kwanza where Jules says we should just be able to realise we aint competing . Makes me proud of myself and the far I have come!! eh,,,,Aki am proud ,,,my heart is full.

Lonzie, we need your hair stylist's info. Your hair is snatched 😘

Here for this great insights and so needed-content🥰💯s/o to you guys always

My dad also keeps the documents lol. When I went through the passport obtaining process, I had to ask him to bring my birth certificate and before he left he said, ''Ukimaliza uniletee.'' 😆 😆 😆

True, I'm telling you if you don't deal with your issues, they will travel with you wherever you go.

When Jules was talking about comparisons I think it says a lot about the household she grew up in and her parents being comfortable with who they were/ what they have. For kids who grew up with insecure parents/ guardians, they definitely didn't have the same sentiments.

I feel like this topic was not exhausted, Part II please. 💜

How I wish this Over 25 was an episode in a series I have to watch everyday... 🥺🥺💗

Same thing for us in our family. My dad keeps stuff for everyone including my mum...hehe. Enjoyed this episode. Very relatable

💃💃such a nice episode, thank you ladies for acknowledging the APA team(I'm happy our efforts go noticed 😜

Started watching you guys when I was 19, I am 23 now and have started the real adulting and its a scum 😂😂😂. Every lady needs to watch this channel cz it's very relatable and helpful.

Lornzie looks amazing!! The rich colour of her items🙌🏾

Loved your energy girls!!...especially Just Ivy, the moderator today❤️❤️

Adulting hits you start counting on how much your being deducted on NHIF, PENSION, etc. Also when your lazy do anything/cook, and remember breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Also when its weekend and you just want to be in the house sleeping, am 23 lived for 3years alone paying bills. I loved this Chat. Thanks for the AFYA RECORD APP RECOMMENDATIONS.

Ivy is right. Sometimes the supermarket is cheaper. I get some groceries from the supermarket and some in the market because I have noticed the difference.

I knew I was an adult like back in campus. I always wanted to be far from home for the "freedom and like space" which was great I concentrated on my studies never too distracted and all. But I hit a low point and everything was so bleak for me. I pulled myself out of the muck through sheer will and even that was running out. My first employment gave me character development and then I was ushered into the workings of the world. Wueh I mean! It's been very interesting. I'm looking forward to making long term plans for myself. I keep reminding myself "My life is my own." So that I have the courage to make necessary risks.

You guys have an amazing friendship,look at them convincing Ivy to go to the gym the following day

Wherever you go, there you are! I felt that😍😍👌

Bt someone seriously needs to open a group chat for people living alone because weuh😢

I just love you ladies. Like is an understatement. Keep it up.

You know you're an adult when you wake up in the middle of the night to fumigate coackroches 😂😂😂 It's literally 3.23 am when am posting this 🙈

Never watched this early but just finished my morning routine and this is perfect to start the week

So much deepness in the first few minutes 🥺🥺💖 , beautiful friendship!

I really enjoyed this episode. Looks like I could use some of the content here to trigger conversations in my family and small social circles. Thank you for mature content.

Any episode with Jules around is a must watch 😌😌

I love Jules I relate to her so much, I wish her and all the over 25 everything great🙌🏾❤️

Hi! 27 I knew i was an adult When i was finding out which courses my younger siblings wanted to do and started thinking which universities they would go to way before they finished high school....then started looking up scholarships for them and guiding them in applying. Because bruh! When you know the price of bread you look for many ways to save elsewhere. The school fees headache ild see my mum get every new school term was real, something had to be done. Result: both got scholarships to study abroad(thank God). Yes there were many fails and rejections but after a long time of not giving up,guess who can buy 2loaves of bread without a headache now😜

Great point about health care Julia. I live in Canada and we have Healthcare. It's such a huge relief.

I think the noticeable differences in lifestyle has been amplified by social media especially because nowadays people are posting their (almost daily) lives and we have access to them so you keep seeing how they’re going for all these holidays whereas before social media you wouldn’t know if so and so went on holiday and if you did you wouldn’t be having access to the type of holiday they went on.. idk if it makes sense Even down to the house someone lives in ata the car they drive where they shop.. sometimes I miss the sort of oblivious life we had before social media anyway we have to adapt I think there needs to be a deep study on how social media has had an impact on humans as technology continues evolving Other than that this was a very interesting and insightful video.. loved every minute of it as I continue to ask myself why I wanted to grow up so bad 😂😂

I'm a Firstborn so I started adulting quite early I guess around 20...but adulting slapped me hard when I first took myself to the hospital. Trust me, I was in awe. To date, I still remember the day, month, and year.

That excel sheet, very important. As usual, enjoying the show.

Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhh, sasa lonzie, you just want all my money??? Cos that outfit I got to gerrit 🤭looking fab queen

Wueh! JULES😍 umeamua vayolens on monday, love it😂😂. Amen to smart,beautiful👶🏾. Learn new apps thanks to IVY😍. Nie reke ngwere adulting is a scam🤦🏿‍♀️

Y’all are the reason i love mondays 💃💃

adulting is overwhelming....... lots of love😘

One of the best video! love it

Yaaaaey... Love love love this episode💕💕

I share Jules energy it's crazy!!

I related to this soo much.My life is currently just chaos but am glad am coping.Adulting is a total scam

😂😂😂😂 Ivy on the DL... guess we're many whose licenses expire in Dec and we've had to cram that expiration month courtesy of an episode with the cops. It's like cops can smell an expired DL, you'll go for months without a cop stopping you and then boom! a day after your DL expires wako hapo "madam, leta license" 😬 machos.,

Hindiot 😂 😂 😂 even the ocean was sad. 😂 😂 😂

I just love this channel❤❤👏keep up

You know you’re an adult when you look for billing options that do not charge transaction fee.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this episode. I could relate to all your experiences. I knew i was an adult when i started losing track of time... I wake up some days and im not even sure if its friday or tuesday 😅😅😅

Jules is so deep and I love it!

The comparison lifestyle is a very Kenyan thing speaking from someone who lives abroad. Here people focus on their lives and work towards individual goals. There’s no pressure to live like akina nani.

I used to compare myself too with my agemates until I put into perspective that I'm taking care of my son and he's joined school and is well taken care of all by me so it's a different lane

Am in the pits for real real..😂 Getting into debts to keep up with this adulting thing..Help me God!

I discovered I was an adult when I signed my life insurance documents, I was like wow, I'm really doing this adult thing now...wow.

On the expressway there are 3 modes of payment. Cash is one of them. You don’t have to register. No you don’t need to stop at every spot you go express to your exit. You also don’t pay at the entry you pay at the exit. At the entry, you pick a “pass voucher” which you present at the exit.

Descendants Jules :) Predecessors come before.

I knew I was adult when I noticed there's certain things I don't eat anymore because they are for my kids school lunches
