“Am taking a break with Baba Huru” Janet Mbugua narrates how marriage and work have weighed down on her
Striking a balance between marriage and work is not easy; Janet Mbugua has been burdened with the two and now she has resorted to start all over again.
Apart from just anchoring news at Citizen TV, Janet Mbugua also runs other projects that require her input; she is the brainchild of Inua Dada, a foundation started to protect the rights of the girl child.
It was during a presentation of her vision of Inua Dada to a group of women at the Karen Country Club on December 14th that Janet realized she was tired, jaded and discouraged.
The Citizen anchor revealed she had burnt out as she struggled to focus on her work and tending to her family.
Janet says she has resorted to going back to her passion projects and taking a break with her son and husband as a measure of fixing her problems.
“I learnt that yesterday, as I presented my vision of Inua Dada to a group of women at the Karen Country Club who so kindly invited me to do so. But I learnt so much more about myself in the process. A few days before this presentation I took a moment to reflect. I realized that I wanted to start over, to re-align myself so that I cam move forward with my projects with clarity. I realized I’m tired, jaded and discouraged, feeling like I’ve been taking on too much at the same time. To top it all of, I’m raising a new family and running a home. I’m burnt out. But I’m glad I know, so that I can fix it. And fixing it for me begins with going back to my passion projects, where my fire burns most. That and taking a break with Baby Huru and Baba Huru, which is in the works So I’m at a point where I’m going back to the beginning, resetting my life and starting over. Pushing reset. That goes for my projects as well. I’ve realized that sometimes it’s ok to go back to basics. It’s ok to feel frustrated and jaded as long as you can get to the root cause and begin working it out. It’s ok not to be ok…sometimes. As long as you’re willing to fix it. People around you may not understand it but that’s fine, because you need to be healthy for you before you can be healthy for others.” Janet Mbugua wrote.
