Pleasure, Freedom & The Myth Of The Good Woman | Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah
What does it mean to be a "good woman"?
And who benefits when women spend their lives trying to fit into that role?
In the first episode of this special season of For Mannerless Women, Adelle Onyango sits down with writer, activist and author Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah for a deeply liberating conversation about pleasure, freedom, womanhood and self-definition! Together, they unpack the fear-based messages many African women receive about intimacy, the pressure to be socially acceptable, the complicated relationship many women have with their bodies, and what it takes to build a life rooted in curiosity, autonomy and joy.
Nana also reflects on lessons from documenting the stories of African women across the continent, the inspiration behind her books The Sex Lives of African Women and Seeking Sexual Freedom, and why reclaiming pleasure is about far more than intimacy, it's about reclaiming ourselves. In this episode:
The messages African girls receive about being a "good woman"Growing up with fear, shame and silence around intimacyLearning to feel at home in your bodyBody image, beauty standards and self-acceptanceWhy pleasure is politicalThe freedom to define womanhood for yourselfUnlearning what no longer serves youReclaiming African traditions around pleasure and womanhoodWhy curiosity can be a pathway to liberationCreating a life that feels like freedomConnect With Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah:

This week on Mid Week Tease, we're talking about generational cycles! Not just the obvious ones, but the invisible family rules, coping mechanisms, beliefs and survival strategies that quietly shape our lives. Many of us inherit ways of thinking, loving, communicating and surviving long before we're old enough to question them. We grow up believing they're simply part of who we are. But what happens when we begin to realize some of what we've called personality is actually inherited pain?
In this episode, Adelle explores:
The unspoken rules every family passes downThe survival strategies we mistake for personality traitsWhy the first person to choose differently is often labelled difficultThe difference between understanding and excusing our parentsHow trauma can be passed down through behaviours, not just experiencesWhat it truly means to become a cycle breakerThe legacy we're creating through our healingBecause breaking generational cycles isn't just about what you're refusing to pass on. It's also about what you're choosing to build.

For years, Annkia knew something wasn't right. At just 9 years old, she was living with constant pain, countless trips to the bathroom, and long periods away from school. As doctors searched for answers, she found herself navigating a childhood marked by hospital visits, procedures, medication, and the loneliness of being misunderstood.
In Part 1 of her story, Annkia shares what it was like growing up with a chronic health condition, being dismissed by adults who should have helped, missing school because of pain, and carrying the emotional weight of an illness that nobody seemed able to explain.This is a story about resilience, survival, and the lasting impact of not being believed.

This week on The Mid Week Tease, Adelle explores one of the most confusing relationship dynamics: loving someone who is deeply attached to being the victim. Not everyone who has experienced pain is stuck in victimhood. Many people carry trauma, grief and heartbreak while still taking accountability for their actions. But what happens when someone's wounds become their identity? When every ex was toxic, every friendship ended in betrayal, every boss was unfair, and every conflict somehow ends with them being the injured party? In this episode, Adelle unpacks:
The difference between pain and victimhoodWhy empathy can sometimes become self-abandonmentThe hidden entitlement that often sits beneath chronic victimhoodHow accountability gets reversed in unhealthy relationshipsWhy so many women become trapped in the role of healer, rescuer or saviourThe difference between someone who is healing and someone who is attached to staying hurtWhy you cannot do someone else's healing for themThe question every woman should ask herself before staying in these dynamicsIf you've ever found yourself exhausted from carrying the emotional weight of a relationship, this episode is for you.

As a child, Jeanette Soi was repeatedly made to feel like she wasn't smart enough. In part two of her story, she shares how years of favoritism, public humiliation, and discouraging comments from teachers followed her into high school, shaping how she saw herself and her future.
By Form Two, the pressure had become so overwhelming that she began questioning whether life was worth living. But through the unwavering support of her parents, a growing belief in herself, and a purpose bigger than her grades, Jeanette slowly began to rewrite the story she had been told about who she was. This is a powerful story about resilience, self-worth, and why a child's potential can never be measured by exam results.
This is part two of Jeanette's story.

This week on The Mid Week Tease, Adelle explores a question many of us rarely ask ourselves:
Who are you beyond your wounds?
As women, we're often praised for how much we can endure. We celebrate resilience, sacrifice, and survival. But what happens when pain becomes the primary way we understand ourselves? In this episode, Adelle unpacks why so many women build identities around struggle, why suffering is often mistaken for strength, and how pain can quietly become the centre of our lives.
She also explores the radical possibility that joy, delight, pleasure, beauty, and aliveness are not rewards we earn after healing, they are part of what it means to be human. If you've ever found yourself defining yourself by what you've survived, this episode is an invitation to imagine who you might be beyond your pain.
In this episode:
How pain can become part of our identityWhy women are often rewarded for sufferingThe difference between honouring pain and living inside itHow struggle becomes a measure of worthWhy joy, delight and pleasure deserve a place in our livesThe question every healing journey must eventually answer: What am I healing toward?Connect with us:

When Jeanette Soi was growing up, school became a place where she slowly began to question her worth. In this deeply relatable episode, Jeanette shares memories of being publicly shamed for her grades, experiencing favoritism from teachers, and carrying the painful belief that her academic performance determined her future.
As teachers and classmates repeatedly reinforced the idea that she wasn't smart enough, she began to internalize those messages and doubt herself. But behind her was a family that never stopped believing in her. This is part one of Jeanette's story.

This week on The Mid Week Tease, Adelle Onyango unpacks the different kinds of rest and why sleep alone may not be fixing your exhaustion. So many of us are burnt out in ways we havenât learned to name. We sleep, take breaks, scroll online, binge shows and still feel tired. Why? Because not all exhaustion is physical.
In this episode, Adelle explores the 7 different types of rest, from emotional rest and sensory rest to creative, mental, social, physical, and spiritual rest, and how chronic overstimulation, emotional labor, burnout, and constant productivity culture are affecting our wellbeing.
This episode is a reminder that rest is not laziness. It is restoration. Listen if youâve been feeling:

This week on The Mid Week Tease, Adelle unpacks emotional abuse in romantic relationships what it is, how it manifests, why itâs often difficult to identify, and the long-term impact it can have on your nervous system, self-worth and sense of reality. Many people only recognize abuse when it becomes physical. But emotional abuse can be quieter, subtler and deeply destabilizing. It can look like gaslighting, emotional withdrawal, control disguised as love, walking on eggshells, chronic criticism, emotional unpredictability and constantly second-guessing yourself.
In this episode, Adelle explores:
What emotional abuse actually isThe psychology behind gaslighting and trauma bondsWhy emotionally abusive relationships are difficult to leaveHow emotional abuse impacts your nervous systemSigns a relationship may be emotionally unsafeRebuilding self-trust after emotional harmThe episode also references insights from therapists and trauma experts including Dr. Ramani Durvasula, Dr. Gabor MatĂŠ, Nedra Glover Tawwab and Lundy Bancroft.

This week on The Mid Week Tease, Adelle Onyango unpacks self-sabotage, what it really is, where it comes from, and how it quietly shows up in your daily life. If youâve ever called yourself lazy, inconsistent, or undisciplined, this episode invites you to look deeper. Self-sabotage isnât random. Itâs patterned, protective, and often rooted in early beliefs about who you are and what you deserve.
In this episode, Adelle explores the psychology behind self-sabotage, why chaos can feel more comfortable than peace, and how fear of being seen might be keeping you stuck. Most importantly, she shares practical ways to begin shifting these patterns, without shame, and without becoming someone else. In this episode, we cover:
What self-sabotage actually is (and why itâs not laziness)How childhood experiences shape your patterns (inspired by Alfred Adler)Why your nervous system chooses familiar pain over unfamiliar peaceThe subtle ways self-sabotage shows up (procrastination, perfectionism, overthinking)The fear of being seen and how it keeps you playing smallWhy itâs so hard to stop self-sabotagingSimple, realistic ways to start shifting your patternsListen to The Mid Week Tease

This week on For Mannerless Women, we sit down with Ciku Cheru, author, journalist, storyteller, and explorer, for a conversation that will challenge everything youâve been taught about womanhood. From her grandmother who refused marriage and still built a full, thriving life, to her own journey of solo travel across 60+ countries, this episode is a powerful reminder that there is no one way to live.

⢠The fear many women carry about being alone and how to unlearn it
⢠Solo travel, independence, and building a life that feels like yours
⢠Outgrowing your âpick meâ era and embracing your full self
⢠Why anything that makes you shrink is a red flag
Mannerless Message of the Week:
Lovebomb yourself. Become the source of the life youâre waiting for.
