Kenyan entrepreneur Sarah Mtalli, the founder of Bonfire Adventures, recently appeared on Dr. Ofweneke’s show Lessons at 30, where she shared intimate details of her personal life, career, and thoughts on love, relationships, and women’s empowerment. During the conversation, Mtalli discussed the emotional separation from her husband, Simon Kabu, prior to their official divorce, shedding light on the complexities of her marriage and the challenges she faced.
One of the most revealing moments of the interview was when Mtalli spoke about an incident involving an employee of one of Simon Kabu’s baby mamas. She explained that the employee had been bringing friends to the home where their children lived, which led to a heated confrontation. It was in this context that Mtalli attacked the individual in the now-viral video. Mtalli clarified that her actions were not directed towards her husband, but rather at the employee who had caused distress in her family life. This incident highlighted the emotional strain she had been under, contributing to her eventual decision to part ways with her husband.
Mtalli also spoke candidly about her journey as a successful entrepreneur, discussing her early ambitions, educational background, and the obstacles she overcame in building Bonfire Adventures. Despite the challenges, she emphasized the importance of persistence and maintaining a strong support system, particularly for women in business.
The discussion also touched on marriage counseling, where Mtalli shared her experiences and the toll it took on her mental and emotional well-being. She stressed the significance of finding a balance between work and personal life, especially for women who often juggle both professional and family responsibilities.
As the conversation shifted to women’s empowerment, Mtalli encouraged women to prioritize self-care and happiness, urging them to build robust support systems that can uplift them. She reiterated the importance of women taking charge of their lives, making decisions that are in their best interests, and not being afraid to walk away from toxic situations.
