Natalie Githinji, a digital content creator and former radio host, shared a message of hope and encouragement for those grappling with childhood trauma. The 27-year-old, widely known for her engaging content, used her platform to reach out to individuals who might be silently struggling with the scars of their past, letting them know they are loved, valued, and not alone.
In her video, Natalie emphasized that no matter how heavy the burden of childhood trauma may feel, healing is possible. She reminded her viewers that despite what they might have gone through, they are still valuable human beings deserving of love and respect. Her message was not only one of empathy but also of strength and resilience, as she urged those suffering from past hurts to keep pushing forward.
“Hey, Natalie Githinji here… to anyone dealing with childhood trauma from parents, relatives or anyone, I pray you heal mahn. I pray that God sees you through,” she began in her heartfelt message. Her words immediately resonated with many viewers, offering solace and reassurance to those who might feel as though their struggles are invisible or misunderstood.
The TikTok sensation didn’t stop there. She continued by encouraging those who feel lost or broken to remember that their pain is not the end of their journey. “I know you are strong so keep on fighting to see another day because you have a purpose,” she stated. Her words served as a reminder that healing takes time, but it is entirely possible.
One of the key elements of Natalie’s message was the grounding technique she shared for those who might be overwhelmed by negative thoughts. She instructed those who feel like giving up to place their right hand on the left side of their chest, over their heart. “That heartbeat should give you a reason to live and see another day,” she said. It was a simple yet profound reminder to focus on the life still present within them. This technique offered a moment of pause and reflection, allowing individuals to reconnect with the most basic and powerful aspect of their existence their heartbeat.
Natalie also shared a powerful message against suicide, a subject often taboo but crucial for those who feel they have nowhere to turn. “Committing suicide is never an option,” she said with conviction, reinforcing the idea that every life has intrinsic value. “We love you, we need you, we want to see you every day,” she added, emphasizing that their presence matters to the world.
The emotional message concluded with an uplifting affirmation: “You are beautiful, you are handsome, and you have a purpose in life. So live to see another day, together forever.” Her message of unity and love left viewers feeling supported and reassured that they are not alone in their struggles.
Natalie’s message came just a week after she openly discussed her own health battles, specifically her ongoing struggle with endometriosis, a chronic condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the womb. In an interview at Kiss FM, she described her experience with the disease as “hell, disgusting, and death,” revealing the emotional and physical toll it takes on her. Yet, despite her challenges, she expressed gratitude for the support of her fans, who have defended her against online bullying regarding her weight.
According to the Endometriosis Foundation of Kenya, endometriosis affects about 10-15% of women of reproductive age. It often leads to severe pain, infertility, and can have a significant impact on a woman’s mental health. The condition is often misdiagnosed, and the emotional strain of dealing with the illness can lead to isolation, depression, and anxiety.
Both Natalie’s open discussion of her personal struggles and her heartfelt video encouraging others are powerful reminders of the importance of mental health and community support. She has used her platform to address some of the most sensitive and difficult topics mental health, childhood trauma, and chronic illness in ways that are accessible, empowering, and full of love.
Her message serves as a beacon of hope for anyone who is silently fighting a battle. Whether it’s the effects of childhood trauma, the daily challenges of managing a chronic illness, or the weight of social expectations, Natalie’s words encourage individuals to keep pushing forward, because no matter how hard life gets, they are worth fighting for. “Always remember that we love you,” she captioned the video, alongside several love emojis, further reinforcing the importance of self-love and community.
In a world where struggles often remain hidden, Natalie Githinji’s message is a reminder that healing begins with kindness, both from others and from within.
