Nairobi's social life is shifting, and it doesn't need a drink in hand to feel alive. Coffee parties and padel courts are proving that real connection can happen completely sober.

In this episode, we sit down with Zanelle Wanja, co-founder of Nani's Cafe Party, Africa's first sober party experience, to talk about building community without alcohol at the centre of it.

We get into her own sobriety journey, the social anxiety so many of us numb with a drink instead of facing, and how what they thought would be a 30-person meetup grew into sold-out 250-person editions across Nairobi.

We also talk trust (or the lack of it) in Kenya's healthcare system, her experience with endometriosis and eventually seeking treatment outside the country, and why gratitude and intentional rest have become her non-negotiables for mental health this year.

Whether you're sober-curious, building a community of your own, healing from burnout, or just want an honest conversation about wellness beyond the gym, this episode is for you.
