In Episode 363 of the Legally Clueless Podcast, Kenyan stand-up comedian Rahab Kihuha shares Part 1 of her powerful story, a deeply honest journey through grief, addiction, mental health struggles, and the unexpected role comedy played in her survival. Rahab opens up about losing her father, using alcohol to cope with pain, feeling emotionally unseen, and how stepping onto a comedy stage for the first time helped her transform shame into laughter. What began as a way to numb pain slowly became a form of healing and a path toward purpose. This episode explores:
- Grief and how it shows up in the body
- Addiction as a coping mechanism, not a moral failure
- Using humour as armour and medicine
- Mental health struggles among African women
- How creativity can become a lifeline before it becomes a career
