It’s Never About the Money: How Couples Build a Life Together | Dr. Jennie Karina

What if it’s never really about the money? In this episode of Conversations with Kalekye, I sit down with Dr. Jennie Karina, Founder & Lead Coach of Anchor Relationship Network, Transformation Catalyst, Inspirational Mentor and Legacy Architect, for a candid conversation about love, marriage, money, individuality and building a life together. We explore the money conversations couples need to have — from how our experiences growing up shape our relationship with money, to navigating different financial capacities, building together while maintaining individual financial identity, and understanding where “mine” ends and “ours” begins. Dr. Jennie also shares wisdom from her own journey through marriage and reflects on the choices we make every day — and how those choices ultimately shape the life and legacy we create. Because sometimes, it’s never about the money. It’s about what the money represents. Conversations with Kalekye Where love finds a voice.

I Trusted Love With My Business — Then I Lost It | Prima Ihachi

What happens when love, trust and business finances become intertwined? In this episode of Conversations with Kalekye, I sit down with Prima Ihachi, founder of Prima Elora Beauty, for an honest conversation about love, marriage, trust, money and the difficult lessons that can come when personal relationships and business finances become deeply connected. Prima shares how she and her then-husband approached their finances as a team — discussing their individual goals, their goals as a couple, what needed to be paid and what they wanted to build together. But one financial decision would change everything. When they took a loan to finance a project, Prima put her salon business up as security, trusting that the loan would be repaid as agreed once the project began generating income. When that did not happen, she ultimately lost the business she had spent years building and was forced to start again. Her experience has fundamentally changed the way she thinks about love, trust, financial responsibility and protecting what you build. In this conversation, Prima and Kalekye explore: - Knowing who you're building a life with - The difference between financial partnership and financial protection - The risks of putting your business behind a relationship - Why love should never replace financial clarity - What women need to understand about their own finances and businesses - Rebuilding after losing something you've worked years to create - The lessons Prima now wants other women to learn before making major financial decisions in love This isn't a conversation about refusing to trust the person you love. It's about understanding that you can love deeply, build together and still be wise about your money. Because protecting what you've built isn't a lack of trust. Sometimes, it's wisdom.

What We Carry Into Marriage Matters More Than You Think | Rev. Lee & Apostle Dennis

How much of your relationship with money is really about... MONEY? In this episode of Conversations with Kalekye, I sit down with Rev. Lee, Founder of Fortress Assemblies, and Apostle Dennis, Overseer of Fortress Ministries, for an honest conversation about the intersection of money, relationships and healing. Having both experienced marriages that ended, they share how their individual journeys shaped their perspectives on finances, provision, partnership and marriage—and how those lessons continue to influence the relationship they are building together today. Together, we explore: How our upbringing shapes our relationship with money. The financial expectations we bring into relationships. Why emotional baggage often shows up in financial conversations. Building healthy relationships through trust, communication and shared priorities. Whether you're single, dating or married, this conversation will challenge you to think differently about one of the biggest influences on our relationships. Because sometimes the hardest conversations about money aren't really about money—they're about what we've carried into the relationship.

Has Success Cost Me Love? The Hidden Burden of Being a Successful Woman | Nekesa Wamalwa

Has success come at the cost of love? For many women, building a career, creating financial stability and learning to stand on their own wasn't about proving they didn't need a partner. It was about refusing to put life on hold while waiting for one. In this episode of Conversations with Kalekye, I sit down with Nekesa Stephanie Wamalwa —a lawyer by training and Programme Lead, Next Gen at Trust Africa — for a deeply honest conversation about love, success and the emotional weight of doing life alone. Nekesa shares her personal journey of watching money become the invisible 3rd party in her parents marriage, pursuing an education, building a meaningful career and creating the life she dreamed of, while also asking the difficult questions many successful women quietly wrestle with: - Has my success made finding love harder? - Do men feel intimidated by accomplished women? - Can a woman be independent and still desire partnership? - What does true partnership look like today? This isn't a conversation about choosing career over love. It's about challenging the assumption that women who have built successful lives somehow no longer want to share them. If you've ever wondered whether success changes the way we experience relationships, this conversation is for you. I'd love to hear from you in the comments: Do you think success makes dating more difficult, or does it simply reveal the right partner?

Season 2 Episode 7: Parental Trauma & Partner Choices with Agatha Mwende

Parental Trauma is often defined by what a child perceives of how they were treated or spoken to - but it also appears in what a child grew up watching. There are two ways it could go - completely avoid it successfully OR go in trying to run away from through the same situation without recognising it. That is the story of author, Agatha Mwende whose life flipped and turned when her single mum got married to a man who was polygamous. The trauma she observed watching her mum cry herself to sleep after having arguments over her step father’s infidelity got her afraid thinking every man will cheat or end-up polygamous. In the twist of it all she shares with our host Kalekye that how she built an idea that turned out to be the illusion of forever - her desire to have a solid relationship and family put her into a state that led her to trauma in her own relationship. Agatha's story gives perspective that we may often be subconsciously influenced by the dysfunction we witness.

Season 2 Episode 6: Parental Trauma and Absenteesim with Saiton Righa

Mothers are home. She is an anchor to a child's sense of belonging and comfort - so what happens when she leaves before a child has even understood her place in the world? That is the situation our guest, Saiton Righa, found herself when things became economically tough for her and her mum. From the age of nine, Saiton found herself being raised by silent grandparents and picking up her mother’s load. In this conversation, she shares the motions she went through growing up un-mothered and living on a promise that never came. It is in this conversation that we learn that parental trauma can leave one fighting to survive and making decisions to get some sense of feeling that resembles being alive. It is also in this story we learn how never experiencing what being mothered feels can bring such gripping fear when you yourself become a mother. In this episode, Saiton reveals how faith in God became her anchor and has been her guide as she continues to confront the invisible wound that comes with parental trauma and an absent parent. If you have an urge to crack your parental wound or just share what you’ve learnt about them, it’s time to get in touch with us and come to the show.
