Ignition Point Kenya

Online and physical sessions are available.

Family experiences shape most of the decision we make especially our attitude towards life or circumstances.

Book a session.... I'll tell you more about it😉

Ever wonder why emotions are so powerful? Like, they can make you do things that you will either regret, feel guilty, make you more angry and if lucky do things that make you excited.
Reminder, when high on emotions be careful of decision making. I recommend you pause✌️till you are calm enough to say yes or no.

" Wellness is not just physical, it encompasses the mental and emotional aspects of your life too. If you are not okay, or at peace with the inner self, you will react more than respond to your daily challenges. Mental wellness is a choice and therapy is a self-care tool that everyone needs"

Happy new year 2021

Nothing ever changes if you won't take the initiative!

Any teen can do this...

With the Corona virus pandemic, schools were closed leaving students at their own mercies. This cohort is of 28 adolescents who built their business from scratch through our virtual mentorship. The team raised a capital of 4,000 in 1 month through rope making and have now ventured into the soap making business. The girls in this community have found a way to cater for their personal needs as well as purchase their personal effects. They have in addition, gained self-confidence, leadership skills and assertiveness.

If a dream doesn't scare you, it ain't big enough. A true mentor wants to see you rise to the top and is willing to let you stand on his/her shoulders for you to get there.

Registration for the next cohort is ongoing.

Men's perspective on teen pregnancy

If you look back to when you were a teenager, you most likely remember the greatest struggle; finding your why in life. The adolescence period is the peak of development. It's when you realize you are different to those around you. You have different priorities, interests, dislikes and aspirations. When you have people around you to help navigate the transition period, it becomes so easy to pursue valuable paths of life. This year, our leadership camp is virtual. Every teen will be attached to a mentor who will walk you through till you are able to identify your purpose in life, formulate your goals, strategise and start acting. You (the teen) will gain leadership and interaction skills. Registration for the next cohort is open till 19th september 2020.

Note// All registrations made before 12th September 2020 will receive a 30% discount.

Let's make a lemonade...what's your dream?!

So you don't like where you were born to, you don't like that you have to struggle to earn that extra cash that will get you the dress you want at Prada or the channel bag you saw or the range rover evoque that you see your seniors driving? You lay there angry and wonder why some people are so lucky! Why did they get that which was maybe supposed to be yours?

Think of this:

Life is 10% what happens to you....90% is what you will do with it.

You meet someone and they are like are you male or female? They go on, but you don't look like as a matter of fact I can't even figure out whether you're Philippino or Jamaican. See you look kenyan but those eyes right there are Chinese like...is your dad Chinese?

One of the things that can really tamper with your ability to be confident is identity crisis. Identity crisis is usually at its peak as an adolescent when you can't figure out who or what your body says. Most often they describe it as a trap. You feel male but your body is like of a man...or you develop feelings for a certain girl but it feels wrong because you are female.

Today's talk is about s*xual and gender identity crisis. Join us live at 5pm, let's talk

One of the things that can ruin your potential to remain confident is identity crisis. The point where you have no idea what to be or who you were born to be because everyone else has an opinion about who you should be. They tell you what to eat, how much to eat, when to eat and it's not just about eating, it's everything. Listen, you can not please everyone, at one point you have to choose you over them.

Tune in sunday 5pm, we will be sharing more on identity crisis. The tomboy, gay, le***an etc.... let's talk👌

Being confident means that you are fully aware of your weaknesses and strengths, your thought patterns, beliefs, actions, reactions. You are not only aware but have accepted them/ you as you are. You are at a point where you appreciate you are different and find no ground for comparison.

You walk into a room and you can immediately spot a groupie at the back corner. There's this loud person in the group, they say anything, stand up to anyone and most importantly talk to anyone without anxieties or fear of judgement. Is that confidence? At another corner is a quiet person, has their hands on their magazine, some earphones on and doesn't seem to care whether people are around or not? Is it confidence? What does confidence look like? Join us live 5pm this Sunday

No Matter what your definition for confidence, some people say confidence is inborn but that's just a common lie we tell ourselves. Truth is, confidence takes practice. Its putting effort till you make it happen. Like a muscle you have to exercise. You believe yourself whether others do or not, you find peace with your inner person and act on what your fears tell you is impossible.

Confidence takes practice!

The conversation! Happening tomorrow .....Facebook live at 5pm.

It happens to others, not me. I know myself, my limits and my values, what's there to lose or be afraid of? My parents should trust that they raised me well and I know better... these are very common patterns for teenagers. Its very normal to think that way and in fact engage in any risky behaviour out of curiosity or desire to explore. Our platform gives information, you are to make the decision.
How risky can it be?
While teen dating can not be wrong or right it can expose you to:
ABUSE ~ emotional turmoils, physical violence, depression, suicidal thoughts, humiliation, insults and obsessive monitoring. Most times these relationships are not stable and can involve cheating, heartbreaks etc. Early exposure to this might distort your view about the opposite gender thus the common saying/stereotypes; 'men are dogs' 'women are cheats'. Establishing stable relationships in the future might also be a challenge. Out of fifteen relationships, one goes to marriage.

LOOSING YOURSELF; dating might get in the way of exploring yourself as a person. You might be too immersed in the relationship or the other person that you end up not knowing what you like, what you want in life, your desires, passions etc if you are too invested in the other person you might miss out in the years of self exploration. Btw? Have you ever thought of taking yourself out? Self treats, self care? You might wanna start now.

S*x. Aside from the common risks; pregnancy, STIs, Addictions (yes addiction) early exposure to s*x can result to;
Self objectification, high levels of body dissatisfaction and poor self image. Watch out for a live chat on this. This week sunday 5pm

The conversation....
You wanna tell your mom or dad that you're dating. How wise is that?
As a parent you just realized there's something fishy going on between your daughter/son and their friend? How do you even start the conversation.
Your parents are not open to the idea of dating as a teenager. To lie/pretend or to tell?

Watch out for the live discussion on Sunday 5pm. Leave a comment

Isn't s*x so confusing, moreso when you are a teenager? Like your parents say this, your friends say that, your body says another thing and even google has its own version? While majority choose abstinence or celibacy we can't hide the fact that s*x is quite enticing. To some, abstinence or celibacy is not an option. S*x might just be it. The big question as an adolescent is: when will it be okay for me to have s*x? What should I look out for?

If that's your dilemma, the first question you probably want to ask yourself is; what does s*x really mean to me. Is it for fun? Is it for fame and recognition? Is it out of curiosity or pressure? Is it hormonal? What is it really that drives you to the desire. Being ready for s*xual engagement means that you are ready to face whatever consequence that comes with the activity. As much as you want the fun, emotions have a way to entangle. Fame, pressure and recognition will only leave you guilty after the act. You will actually worry too much to actually enjoy it. S*x is emotionally powerful. True you might blame it on hormones but remember just because you are physically ready, it's not a guarantee that you are prepared for the consequences.

Is there a way to replace s*x to fulfill this desire? Join us this week (sunday) at 5pm😉

What makes a person choose to be celibate? How is the Journey? What are the benefits?... is it actually possible?

Celibacy is making a conscious decision to abstain from s*xual activities. Most people choose to be celibate for religious reasons while other do so to focus their energy to a certain course for instance creativity, cereer etc. It could take a months, years or till marriage.
How is the journey?
Celibacy is a unique experience to every individual. It requires a lot of patience, persistence and resilience. It is a vow not to engage in s*xual activities thus refraining from touch, kissing, ma********on and any erotic activities that might lead to arousal. Can you date while celibate? Definitely yes. This will require you to inform your partner and ensure that both of you have a desire to pursue celibacy.

What are the benefits?
Growth:Celibacy is a time to focus on you. All your energies and time goes to self improvement. one experiences massive personal development either in career, spirituality, family engagement or emotional intelligence
Self-control: you gain control on what your body desires. You are able to deal with lustful feelings, unintendend crush or obsession and toxic relationships
Always safe😉: Definitely no STIs or pregnancy. You don't have to be anxious about contracting these two or taking emergency pills, contraceptives etc.

Is it actually possible? Very much. There are so many testimonials on social media platforms. Most people who have actually been celibate have showed to enjoy high self esteem, success, lasting relationships and careers.
How to start:
1.Find a reason (where do you want all that energy to flow to)
2.Make a conscious decision
3.Do your research
4.Set boundaries
5. Start

Isn't it so awesome when you walk into a room and everyone wants to be with you? or you are so important to them that they want to be part of your pack?
