Happy 2026 | Holiday Recap, Fresh Reflections, Lessons, Goals & Gratitude
Oct 31, 2026
Happy 2026 🤍✨
In this first podcast episode of the year, I take some time to reflect on the festive season, the moments I enjoyed, the lessons I learnt, and the little things that stayed with me after the holidays.
I also share some fresh reflections as I step into the new year, including a few goals and intentions I’m holding for 2026, nothing too heavy, just honest thoughts about growth, gratitude, and moving forward with clarity.
This episode is all about slowing down, looking back with appreciation, and gently setting the tone for the year ahead.
Thank you for being here and for walking into 2026 with me 🌱
Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more episodes every Wednesday!
Thanks for watching!
So unapata kuna msi hataki holiday ifike.
Because his holiday is coming to an end.
Kwanza those people who host.
Him?
Hehehehe.
Someone told me that next year will be the year of the goat.
I am going to stay at the hotel.
I'm so happy to see my children as if we had just arrived with a smart device.
Come here, come to me.
Now we are back at school.
And him?
Him?
No, I need to clarify a few things.
STEM students.
I am interested in STEM.
Students in Grade 10.
Oh, what a beautiful sight this is.
Parents, please, let me hug you. Mimi ni kwa KG1 playgroup.
Of course, my biggest challenge with KG1 was getting the child to listen.
Analia, day one, I can't help but tell the teacher,
I'm not here today, I'm not here, it's a talk.
Chana kwa mbio, we enda, enda, enda, tanyamaza tena.
That one is for KG1. But now I'm hearing about the challenges faced by people...
My uncle's grid 10, like the previous one, performs very well,
Akona 78 of 72, Akona 67 of 72, Ametua shule ikombali,
Ama Ametua Primary School is a day school.
Music
You, my dear friend, oh, happy, happy new year.
Happy 2026, everyone.
I've missed you so much.
Welcome back to Seller's Reflection.
I'm so happy to be back.
Nimuwa miss everything.
Nimuwa missed the shoot, missed the e-R.
Miss Nimuwa, I'm just happy to be back at work.
Of course, by the time this airs, I'll be filming this on the 21st.
of January, and this is when I'm back on set
I'm so excited to be back on set, I'm so excited.
For the New Year, I'm feeling like Tuniko to get excited
My excitement to meet Mingi, my excitement to meet Sana
So maybe we can just catch up during your holiday.
You were like that when I told you the rumors were spreading
My holiday was amazing. My highlight of the holiday was one.
My babies have grown.
My boys have grown.
Nona, I hope you have a wonderful holiday!
Oh, our nannies have left.
Oh, Sasa I'm doing housework.
For the first time,
Since I became a mom,
I became a mother eight years ago,
for the first time
The holiday was easy.
For the first time, this holiday, mata hii
We didn't eat out as much as we did before, or during previous holidays.
I was like, take out, take out, take out.
For the first time, the big youth helped me clean the equipment.
So my holiday, for once, was just like resting, I was just sleeping.
Not entirely 90, but much,
Much better than the previous holidays.
So that one was a win for me.
Why
Two
Of course we spend time with the boys,
Spend time with family, which is a good thing.
I know most of our holidays might not be the best thing for you.
Of course, if everyone says holiday, everyone will be on holiday.
just like that
I'm sorry for those who might miss out because of holidays
Their loved ones, Ama holidays inambu tu, maybe holiday ndo wako jobu
The engine won't work.
Everyone at the holiday
That's why we're catching up.
I would like to know how your holiday was.
Just in the comments, tuna catch up
What did you say, you're talking about what?
There is someone who keeps saying
I have a friend who told me about his holiday in Limbo.
because holidays come with so much pressure
of
Is it hosting?
Ah, the holiday pressure, really.
The holiday pressure.
Yeah, today I have to take the kids here.
We have to go and visit so and so who
We said we would visit during the holiday.
We have to buy this.
We have to cook this.
So unapata kuna mse hata ki holiday ifike.
Because his holiday is coming to an end.
Kwanza those people who host.
Huh?
Someone told me next year will be the year of the goat.
Mimi saa donotaka kuhostiwa
Mimi donotaka kufika sananya na watoto wangu kama tumweka smart
I'm sorry, but I can't assist with that request.
So I just want to hear how was your holiday?
25th was how, 1st was how
Love you for the entire 75 days
Those CBC stones we had our kids for 75 days
How was it? Ama the December holiday
Yeah, my other highlight would be,
Of course, spending time with the family.
That's a highlight.
Of course, bonding.
Bonding with the guys.
At MKO home.
Big man.
You can watch a movie.
You can, you know.
Some things are small, the fact that I'm
Not looking at emails, I'm just checking if this video was posted.
I was editing this video, I really tried during the holiday, by the way, I'm on the phone.
like Siangali, as a client, someone who just wants to rest, because you see
That's why I'm so excited right now because I took a rest, like
Just a really relaxed Celestine is all I need, a happy one, rested, you know.
Yeah, then maybe the other thing
Are there any lessons or reflections we had during the holiday?
Personally, if there's one lesson,
He is not a pet, he is a human being.
But if there's one lesson to be learned,
I became a gospel preacher this January.
Do you see those festive offers?
Yes, those ones. Your people, oh, shop and win, oh,
Buy one, get one free. Oh, you see those festive deals. Please,
Next time, December this year, December, ukizisikia, take advantage.
For the first time in a very long time, my January is so good.
For the first time, sijui,
There is someone who has climbed up high and is sitting on the branches.
Maybe, but for the first time, this January has felt so short.
What you told me, I didn't hear it, I didn't listen.
Oh, I hear the oil drums clanking, the pots are boiling, kukukuku, let's go, let's go.
because, and then also, Iyo isn't eating out in Disema, I think for once,
That was so, you were happy, you were joyful, January came.
So if it's a uniform in November, if it's a school, like I think,
and that's where we talk about money with Kina Susan and Kina,
Like everyone who tells you about money, plan ahead.
I'm not saying that if you're having a tough January, you shouldn't plan ahead, no.
I'm not saying that if you're having a tough January,
Do not take advantage of the offers, no.
I'm just saying the lessons I learned in December.
So taking advantage of those offers and planning ahead for January.
We all know January is tough.
I am not going to do it.
What is the reason for your sadness?
No worries about January
Nianze is located in December
Sometimes it's good to be wise
If there's anything moving forward
I was not concerned.
December is approaching.
Learn how to start preparing for Valentine's Day
Those who helped me in times of need
But zile za December
Hey, Mizo Zili came through.
Hey, Zili, you came through with a good one.
I'm not particularly fond of hosting.
So, yeah
If I were to be hacked, I would be very upset.
but what I know is
if at all, kwa wenyo ata comment
Hosting or watching, maybe next time
It's good to
What do you call it? Delegate. Look.
for someone to come and help you there.
House chores. Jua geni must be treated.
Wagons are necessary, they must be entertaining.
I mean, it's the holiday season.
We are in the spirit of sharing, in the spirit of,
You know, spending time with your loved ones, having a good time.
Something else I did during the holiday.
Something that during the holiday,
We did a CSR with a couple of our friends at Kwa Gym.
Our gym, actually.
Mimi, that was another beautiful, beautiful day.
Like giving back. I don't know if we'll ever realize it.
Like we have so much to be grateful for.
And I hope you watch my first January vlog.
It was also a CSR initiative we carried out with Jambo Jet in Kilifi.
Today, we from CSR went to Kahawa West.
Kahawa West School is there.
I can't remember his name.
Of course, we'll spend the day with the kids.
Eat your own food, eat with your own people.
And sometimes you reflect, un-realize.
By the way, sis, we worry, worry, worry too much.
Like we truly care.
Besides that worry, you have no power over
As if you're worried
For example, we are back at school now
And he, he, enye, he has many things to remember
STEM people are called STEM
Students in Grade 10
Oh, wake up, it's time to rise
Parents, please, let me hug you
Mimi is in KG1 Playgroup
Of course, my biggest challenge, ya KG1, was taking care of the child, he was crying
Analia dewa, I hear you saying, teacher,
I will not go today, I will not go, if I am to be scolded,
I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm so tired.
That was my biggest challenge.
I have seen the kind of challenges,
Or rather, I've also heard, we've seen on KWA News, parents of Grade 10 students.
Eh, grade 10, like, at the end, this is,
It was in conjunction with the fact that we worry too much.
I'm trying to maybe give you some hope.
To the parents who say the child, apparently, they are being called
At schools where Ikona Hile Pathway, Nikituka hiyo, Pathway.
So, as for the future,/module, stick to sciences and I don't know.
hiyo STEM, sciences, and sijui what,
Hito Ma Engineering, Anaitua School, that one.
If I'm understanding it correctly, Your Honor,
I have a child in KG1, we are in KG1.
But Sasa na Sikia challenges from people
I'm in grade 10, and I've been performing very well lately.
78 out of 72, 67 out of 72, ameitua shule ikombali,
Ama Amaitua Primary School is a day school.
Sometimes in life, we worry about things that we cannot control.
I'm not saying don't worry—that's your child, you have to worry.
But I knew that by December that child would have entered school.
Truth or just a lie? Really?
This is it, the first week has just ended, as I'm filming this,
It's January 21st, the first term has ended, we have to go back to school.
You're welcome at school, you're welcome to stay, just bring something small.
Just a moment, I'll help you with arts and crafts.
You'll stay here, while the other one will just take a little bit.
I apologize for the letter, like, you know, like life,
We worry so much about so many things over which we have no power.
Sometimes it's just good to
Gaining strength
I know what it is
This child is not yours.
My own house and my own property have arrived at school.
Of course, that's right.
But in the end
My child will go home in December.
Ata arrives in March
As of December, it's a holiday
I was attacked at school.
Somehow
This is me trying to give
Those parents who are feeling
My child is performing well.
I'm part of 65 out of 72
Nijutu, we're suffocating under overcrowding
His path of Nijutu is fate.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I am sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
Grade 10
So it will be harder.
That name is easier
I really hope they are with us.
Your department
Hey, please Aki, please
Parents are suffering
Yeah, sure.
But parents, once again, this is me encouraging you that
Definitely, let's go to school and read and write, so we can learn to read.
When you are a student, you study.
Okay?
So yeah, that's what I meant.
If your ears are those of a 10th grader.
What frustrations are you encountering?
Of course I can't help much.
But regarding comments, just to engage.
Tusikie, tusikie.
Like, you discuss, you think, you understand.
It's a safe space.
This channel is for connecting, communicating, and helping each other wherever we can.
And encourage one another.
Especially if you've been there.
Because I know there's a parent who's been there,
Before the song, there is the dance; before overcoming, there is the challenge.
You could possibly help your other parent by giving them a little praise through comments, you know.
Strength is still within me, ah, this is not the end of life.
People have been there, gone through it,
The children were studying, they finished, you know.
Hey, you know what, I was just telling you
Regarding the CSR we conducted.
You sit there and you realize, hey,
Life has so much, like there's so much in life.
but we choose to focus on things that...
We have no power over it.
Yeah, so here we are in the new year.
I hope you write down our goals.
Many of us who are eager to work out want to do it.
We want to stay fit, we want to start a business,
We want to spend quality time with our family this year.
We want to be intentional in everything we do.
Whatever we are eating, whatever we are.
Now let me give you...
Some of the things that I want to do this year
Of course not in depth, but yeah.
One thing I want to do
On this channel kwanza
We are going to continue with the Founders Series.
The reason I'm going to continue the founders series is
One, I think I'll try again tomorrow
I am
I think one last try
Let me give you a small story
Of the number of businesses I have done
The ball is in your court.
But you didn't do anything, and I'm leaving
When I
When I
Graduated from college, transferred to an attachment site,
Then I went to Uganda and started a business selling sandals.
It was a very nice business, nilienda Uganda.
When the rain comes, how does Uganda end up?
The Nilienda Pale Tea Room, the tea room is indeed a tea room,
Nikapanda buses to Uganda, I returned to Uganda.
But me, my advantage is that I have a cousin in Uganda.
So my cousin in Uganda, he went to buy a dog from the market,
I'm not going to fall down, I won't fall down at all.
I was just about to say a few things, and I think I had 15,000.
I bought a little bit, I gave it to her, I rested in the afternoon,
His car, the music, the breeze, back to Nairobi.
That's how I did it.
I didn't, Ati, okay, I didn't know much.
I can't tell you how much I know about Uganda.
Then, in about a month or two months, my stock was gone.
So the next time I went to Uganda,
I didn't even tell my cousin I'm coming to Uganda.
I see the market.
Shuka, go to the market in the morning, at night, return to the house.
I remember being told that fever is still present in the child.
I was having a fever and all that.
That's how my first business started.
I only remember that I was with a group of friends.
I had a blister on my foot.
The door has opened.
Nauza sandals
It was a car of money.
Nauza sandals
Nafunga.
Go home.
You have arrived at the place.
Nika choka.
Nika anza ku.
High up in the sky.
My first safari to Uganda.
Miguzi is furious.
hi
Miguzi is burning.
Because you travel at night.
You shop during the day.
You travel back at night.
I don't know, at some point, I just give up.
hi
I think my problem, na nimesikiza founders up, is giving up.
And I think this time, if I start it, I'm not going to give up.
The second business was kitchenware,
And I have so many of you who have bought from me.
hi
I still use my utensils to this day.
Like I have pots in my house, and cups that I used to sell.
Utensils was doing so well, but in between, I think content creation,
You're too much, you're crazy.
On the beach, I got pregnant with Toria, with Tugi.
So I had to
I can go to the market, you come and buy, ah, the one who was mine
There, at that distant place, ah, that's where he lived.
So, your pregnancy, Nazisama.
Otherwise, Saini became E.
Anyway, we keep starting over until we learn it.
The third one was Binit.
Binit was really good, by the way.
Actually, Binit, I don't know.
Do I have any reason why we stopped? I don't know.
But Binit was doing very well.
with
I think you should learn entrepreneurship specifically.
And that's why I think one of the things I have
What I need to do this year is join that centronomy class.
I've been inspired enough.
Thus
I have been inspired by Kemani, I have been inspired by Judy.
I have been inspired by Abel, I have been inspired by Philip.
It's time I joined that class, so please, guys.
I am the one who is being punished like a criminal in class
I won't give up on the Nile
because I am one of those few who
but this one this year, Mungu
Yes, please.
then the other one was get serious
Get serious, you were doing very well.
I think stock ilisha
But here we had brought in a lot
That's one thing I'm learning.
When you're starting, please start small
Even if you have an investor
Even if you have money
It's good, wanzi, pole pole, ugro
So this small, small, you get feedback from your
As Susan was saying
You receive feedback from your customers
So you know what to adjust
You know what to
Najwa
So, Nikona, some nuggets here and there.
And that's why I feel like I'll keep hosting founders.
Because with these founders, you realize you're not alone.
Your problems are not yours alone.
If Susan is facing it with good watches,
then Joanne is also facing it with.
Like hearing someone else's farm
A man of many souls, a man of my people, a man.
You're like, okay.
So, see rocket science.
Well, it's probably not rocket science.
But if these people are doing it, it's like a community.
Actually, the Founders Series is like a community.
So, if you're like me and you feel like
This year you want to start a business,
I'll try again, my dear.
I suggest subscribing to Kwanza.
Alafu, you're tuned in to the Founders Series.
Catch up on the December issue,
But moving forward, Itakuanga might be one episode per month.
Because the founders are also very busy people.
But then, it's a nice community I'm trying to build where we can learn,
including me
We learn so we network; we network so we learn.
From someone's journey, you learn from this one's experiences
so you don't have to go through the same AMA
if you're in that challenge, you see
At the very least, yes, then the other thing would be
Bim.
Yeah, so part of what I'm trying to do is
Like part of my goals this year.
Workout is not a goal.
Workout routine.
I am proud to say that.
This year I did not set working out as a goal.
I said we continue with marathons.
Actually, the goal this year is to try
and receive a medal every other month.
This medal means so many things to me.
That is, my marathon medal is the one I won in the race.
Stronger than you think, seleba itheyo.
I will not affirm anything else, just this one journey.
You know what?
I know you.
You've got this.
I know you.
I know it's tough, but you're strong.
So, continue with marathons.
Continue with working out.
I will try to eat clean this year.
Therefore.
Musicheke junajua chapati is a challenge
But I'm saying, we're going to try and eat clean, guys.
Hopefully by March, I'll have made one episode of telling it here.
My journey with weight loss.
Weight has never been a problem for me, but I know that when you eat clean,
Of course, when you stay in shape.
You lose weight.
So it's not like I'm fighting.
Clang!
But yeah, this year we're really trying to eat clean.
Yes?
Okay?
I'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
What are the plants that grow in your backyard?
Hi.
What are your goals?
Of course, traveling hiko.
It is not a goal.
But continue traveling.
Quality time with your family.
You know?
They are all here.
So guys, wanna make a vision board?
I don't feel like doing it.
There are no goals, there is no direction,
There's that one thing you want to accomplish this year.
One thing I'll tell you is please,
First of all, there is a very strong wind.
I've been sharing some stories on my Instagram where
When Toria started school, the first day was tough.
Day two was tough.
Day three, Akagonjeka.
So, day one, school.
Day two, shuleni.
Kulia.
Day three, no school.
And the entire next week, Hakuwa Shuleni.
So, when we went back after a week,
We were starting all over again from day one.
Oh, my God.
It was tough.
Remember Sue saying at some point,
I had a feeling that he had lost his business.
And I'm referring to Sue Sana,
Yeah, this was the previous episode that aired.
As in January, we didn't hear all of them in December.
So there's a part she said, "I was thinking, I'd open it first,"
Reflect, analyze your personal life, and then return.
I mean, I'm just going to skip this nonsense.
The night returned, beginning once more.
You'll have to put in a lot of work.
So you'd rather just keep on, like, heri pesi yenange.
Actually, there's that graph that shows consistency looks like this.
Consistency is not like this.
Some days you show up, some days you're just here like this,
Some days are like that graph.
So the graph is a straight line.
So you just keep showing up.
So, if there's anything at all
You've written down why you're here, it's a gym.
I won't start until January.
Imagine when the day begins and you come to know,
Hmm, I don't understand what you're saying.
That's very nice, the night is very nice, you know.
So just start, whatever it is you.
Is it clean eating? Is it drinking water?
And the thing is, at some point, maybe February, March,
May, the goals you scored in May were amazing.
Maybe plan for something, plan maybe for a trip in May,
Plan for rest in May, plan something around that time, I will go there.
You're back on track since January.
Like when I was writing down these goals, I was sober,
This is what I wanted, Saini, your energy is amazing, so.
What do we call it?
Like relaxing.
Yes, you have a lot of energy.
Because Bana Utina's location is just a place.
You haven't even graduated yet, let alone reached May.
I will be there in May.
The mistake is in the challenges.
Like rest.
Take a.
Just take a break.
Hello.
But so.
Give up.
You are the one who answers.
Sita gave up tena last year.
I returned last year.
Therefore.
Na na.
Yeah.
I know I'm laughing, but this year.
There's no room for giving up, okay, yeah.
So the last thing is, maybe you guys can tell me this
year what you want to see
Of course, last year I promised you I'd be doing vlogs.
I tried, I tried last year, I tried this year, I want to try harder.
Nisha did it first.
I hope you've watched it.
Sometimes they might feel short.
Two, also,
Aki, just that sector, no other.
He is a very good man.
Your turn, guys, let's see the challenges from influencers
and Sejui content creators at the supermarket.
Put it in the fridge.
Wanafunga fridge.
They are coming to open it.
Oh, this yogurt.
The wind is blowing from the west.
It's not easy creating content.
And I'm not saying your work is easy either.
Nothing is easy.
So just be patient.
but I'm trying
I will
I will try.
Hi guys
I'm assuming you're saying that, guys
Hi Sele
At least, if I don't feel like my usual self, but yeah, more vlogs this year,
Consistency, of course—last year was very consistent, by the way.
Seles Reflection, I'm stuck only like one or two when is this,
So I was very consistent, maybe in terms of time, I didn't change.
Sazi ngeye ngeye 11, sazi ngeye ngeye 10,
due to some unforeseen circumstances, but of course I shoot at IR,
What I do, of course, is shoot, is capture moments, I have content.
So I don't see, consistency isn't really
A major issue on this channel.
But yeah, in terms of content, of course mental health,
Of course motherhood, anything related to money, absolutely necessary.
The last episode we did about money, we didn't realize there
Those are the topics we touch on, and the engagement is so strong.
That's the episode we did with Susan.
Women and money
Yes, women and money
and I met this lady
half of the medicine
Like randomly, ata ungea ngea tananga story mingi
You have been given the words of wisdom.
Hi, what did you say?
So, tell me about your episode on women and money
It was like a week old.
a few days
You helped me so much
I mean, the episode where people shared
It was full of engagement.
I don't know why those people like it
You said, you heard, you saw
What is your name?
And he helped me
as if you feel a sense of life, if I may say so
a feeling of fulfillment
Like wow, you're really going to do it, aren't you?
But Ali, you must have seen it, it's necessary for me to mention it
so yeah, anything related to money
anything to do with
God
Self, like, is it self-care, is it personal, personal what?
Growth, yeah, anything related to personal development,
and also inspiring stories from, this is the one we did with Chude
Chude, hey, last year we hosted international guests, well,
I can't wait to see the kind of guests I'm going to host this year, so,
personal growth, personal reflection, anything we are reflecting upon
Motherhood is essential, yeah, and entrepreneurship, now for founders,
So tell me what else you'd love to see
Comments on the Nyambiene
And yeah
And I'm excited for 2026
2026, New Year
Same as, of course
But new things, of course
New things like
I am returning to school.
Yeah
It's been so many years since I left school.
I tried Sentonomy, I found the bamboo
Eh, no, I was not there
I am a fisherman by profession, I am a fisherman
This time, guys
What is the problem?
To avoid
Yeah, that's it from me, guys.
Tell me what you want to see
Tell me whom you want me to host.
I can reach out in case it's a founder.
Of course I've reached out to so many founders.
Timeouts are easy
Timing out a bit
Especially since the new year has just begun, everyone is locked in.
Lock in lock in
And that's why I'm saying maybe
To
Indeed,
We are doing founders entirely.
So it's like I'm tweaking in Founders with Celeste Reflection.
with
Itabaki will be on Wednesday at 10 a.m.
However,
The time to change the law has come.
Every Wednesday at 10 a.m.
