- Our birthdays are next week and one thing about us is that we are going to celebrate🥳 but if you've been keeping up with us, you know that things are going to be a little different this year.
We sat down to talk about the good, bad, and ugly things that come with birthdays. Age anxiety, pressure, time with family, a celebration of growth, mourning loss and so much more.
How do you usually feel around your birthday?

My worst birthday was when l was diagnosed with Cancer 5 days to my birthday. I spent my actual birthday getting so many blood tests done, not knowing the extent of it and thinking that was it. I am dying. They should be some form of counselling btw before the Doctor reads out the diagnosis😭😭 l went crying on the road like a mad women. God in heaven, l love you so much, you are amazing because l have gone on to celebrate many more magnificent birthdays after that. So yes, l do not take birthdays or celebrations for that matter for granted. Life can end any time. Growing old is a blessing, l lost two best friends through a tragic car accident at the age of 22 years old😭😭One of them was cremated guys, went to visit her mum after that and my friend was in a pot, in ashes, in the sitting room🙆🏾♀️🙆🏾♀️🙆🏾♀️. Weeeuh
Hugs for next week Lydia, (I suppose it’s always bitter sweet)l love you.
We are sorry you went through this😊
I'm 30 this year, I have no job, no kids, no boyfriend, no money!💔 lol and I can relate so much to your content.
Thank you.🥰 lots of love all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦
Sending love and hugs to you.
You are not alone
Who else is crying with Lyd, Lyd you made all of us cry❤️❤️
I had to pause and take a break from the episode
It broke me to pieces coz I remember my 16th birthday I found out that my mom passed away. It was the most difficult birthday.
@@beatricesloan7063 love and light all through 🤎🤎
@@victoriamunuve4180 thank you Love 💕
@@beatricesloan7063 we are very sorry 🖤🖤love all the way
This episode has been triggering to me… 😢😢growing up, we were 7 kids and my mum never did anything for me, she had her favourites who she celebrated but for the rest of us, nothing, it was just another day, and she pushed it off if you mentioned its your birthday. So for the longest time, it was just another day until i met my boyfriend. He always makes the day special with the simplest of things. Thank God for him❤.
🎉To anyone struggling just do the simple things that you can afford and fill your heart on this day🎉
i love this for you. bless his heart
Ooh God am crying just from the intro .. I am turning 30 in December am soo nervous. No permanent well paying job, no car , no house, no kids, no boyfriend, saying in a bedsitter … I want to screeeeeeemm 😢😢😢 all I have is my wild dreams
I'm screaming same ...but I'm trusting the process ❤❤
Hugs you are not alone am there too
March gang,,,,murugi turning 33,,Lydia turning 32 and me turning 31 periodt,,,we are aligned for greatness ❤
Wow. I honestly thought Murugi was in her early 40s. Surprised she is that young. She and Lydia are in the same age bracket. That explains their connection because they seem to compliment each other so well in their friendship.
Wow..turning 31 too,March gang happy birthday to us in advance😊😊
Turning 31 in june
@Simple Bougie Angel happiest belated birthday,,may all great things follow,,
@@wacekewanjoroge6679 yasss,,when they say 30 is for greatness ,,trust it is
aaw🥺 when lydia broke down i took my phone and felt like hugging her through the screen. love you lyd❤
Coming from a household that didn’t celebrate birthdays,I changed that norm around when i turned 20s,I always take myself out on a date and buy myself a gift.
It don’t matter if no one celebrates you hunnie,celebrate your damn self💜you deserve it baby girl.
Also Thea’s something about turning 30,I had a lil age anxiety buh trust me when I say it gets better.Ain’t nothing better like living life on your terms despite societal pressure and expectations!!
The 30 part, I can totally relate! Its so rejuvenating!!
Grew up in the village. Never celebrated birthdays , can't remember any of my friends either celebrating birthdays. Now I just celebrate myself. I don't hate my birthday I think over the years of no celebrations. Sometimes no one even remembers so I take it as any other day.
Today is my 33rd 🎊
I'm both grateful for life and kinda sad on my milestones
But well,I'm still here!
Happy Birthday 🥳 from a stranger
Happy Birthday, May your new year be filled with Gods blessings.
@@carolnjo8629 thank you gal
@@cikanyoro thank you stranger
Happy birthday 🎉
Great convo Ladies!
@Jo, get rid of that scale. It is a thief of joy and builds anxiety. Let your clothes do the telling of your weight management/progress for you. I’m sure you also know that you could be as light as a bird and still not be healthy inside your body. Please just try this for like a month. I believe your anxiety around food will also reduce. The enemy here is that weighing scale
I legit laugh-cried with Lydia when she said she thought she was okay... I never celebrated birthdays growing up and it just didn't fit the bill and was not a thing for both my parents. However, I went to schools where kids celebrated birthdays and I got invited to some and I swore my kids will KNOW their birthdays... I also promised myself my birthdays but not as much as I promised for my kids. Birthdays are very much a thing for me... I do something for my birthdays but for my son who is 7 men!! do I go out. Literally feel like I would die if it passed by without a thing and cake. My son's birthday is three weeks before mine and I would rather go without...birthdays are just special ...like I came to this world on such a day , like I got to hold you in my arms for the first time a day like today, like this special person in my life got to exist a day like today...Just special...I am turning 30 this year and oh boy, I'm I dreaming of it😍😍
❤️❤️❤️
Jo singing 💯👌🤩😂😂😂
Lyd talking about Eli 😅 love it 😍
Same🤣
Came to the comment section specifically to confirm am not alone in this😅❤💯
March 2 is my birthday. Walking into 30 with ease and joy and expecting the best.
My twenties were the ghetto 😭😂 nie ma! I collected toxic men, I made very questionable, problematic, controversial decisions especially my early 20s. It's like I was living outside my body 😭.
Turning 30 already feels different. Good different. 29 I was more settled and sure of myself. I can imagine how 30 is. Halafu Murugi and I share a birthday, it doesn't get better than that.
#piscesseason
Hey ...what about career wise....how was it for you in your 20s....coz me aki am confused Af...in my mid twenties and am terrified
We love to hear it!
@@lifeofsheila4041 I was fortunate to get a job at 23 as banker. So far so good but obviously as time goes purpose is important. I know what I want to do I just need the boldness to step out and do it. Take it easy. Everything unfolds on the go. No pressure.
Turning 25 yrs on 28th Feb . Am super excited about it. Can't wait to see what 25 holds for me. ❤️❤️
Love this video ❤️❤️. That statement on "the luxury of slowing down" made me think of a future topic: Life's underrated luxuries. Happy pre-birthday queens💟💟
owls' "superstitions" have been 100% accurate in my life. When my grandma passed on it hooted for a week and stopped the Sunday morning that she passed on. For my grandfather's sister it hooted for two days, and she passed on the morning of the last night's hoot. My cousin also heard an owl and the following day their landlord passed on (to her those were unrelated events. I'm the one who told her about owls and deaths). There are numerous similar stories, and they have always fascinated me. Mind you hearing an owl hoot is soo rare and yet.. once googled and found that a tribe in South America believes owls escort people into the afterlife. FYI before my grandma's passing away i'd have easily disregarded the stories as superstitions. our ancestors were however very in tune with nature and somehow knew these things.
So true❤️
First murugi's voice 😍
Also, I turned 31 on 20th February. Age anxiety is real 😥😥. Its not so much about getting older itself but its more of the fact that for some of us birthdays are triggering because they are a reminder that we are getting older and we are nowhere near where we would like to be.
Also hugs lyd, I can relate about painful events happening around a birthday and the memories of that.
In 2018, on February 1st ( 19 days to my 26th birthday), I found out during my cousin's funeral ( he died of cancer) that my mom died ( suicide). So the next few birthdays after that were hard. Hugs again Lyd.
#piscesgang
My birthday is on 1st March😍, I'm turning 22 and I'm obsessing over it alot cuz I want to give myself the whole world🌹🥰. You guys are the sisters and older sisters I don't have. You inspire me alot😊❤
Hello ladies, looking gorgeous.I have not celebrated my birthday for 14 Years now, my mum was such a big fun of birthdays and after she passed on when I was 11,birthdays became emotional days for me😭.
Am obssesed with tmi podcast asf❤️ we need a million people like lyd and murugi
I think I can officially say that I'm obssesed with Tmi podcast, I have binge watched a lot of your episodes. Good job ladies, you look amazing!
I' m so sorry Lyd, for those dark memories! I hope you find all the comfort you need!
Also Murugi, we all see the effort you put in for your babies, you really are healing your inner child and being a good mother! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU BOTH. You shared your light with us and ever since life hasn't been the same.❤❤
Am always waiting for Wednesday coz of you guys...first you look sharp, beautiful as always. Am always listening to various podcasts but so far tmi is the besttttt!!!!!
Am 23 and am addicted to your channel...learned so much...love you guys!!!
I feel you Lyd ♥️♥️♥️. Thankfully, the days get better and we grow in remembering such.
Ladies, I wish you both the most blessed birthday. Lydia, you made me cry, bila brakes. My list of too old is a whole book!!!!!!
It’s interesting how u get so absorbed in your stories..
you guys are the best… Appreciate you
50:55 GOD‼️Who knew Murugi can sing like that🙌🏽!🥰💝
the undeniable chemistry between these two wah !
Lyd and my son share a birthday yaaaay💫!!!! So grateful he will be turning 1🎊!!!
I absolutely enjoyed this episode, thank you ladies for being authentic and vulnerable, happiest birthday in advance❤
I love the authenticity from you two. Kudos!
This year was the 1st birthday I celebrated for me. Took me for a vacation I love and self-care. I loved the feeling
I want to cry like Lydia , soo classy, I usually just Weil
girl stop🤣
TMI is absolutel awesomeness,you guys are trending on Facebook with am too old too.....i can't yahoo you guys you're not on facebook
We cried with you lyd.........love and light to you.
I love birthdays so much because I didn’t get to enjoy most of them from 4yrs-17yrs but now I over do and even with my son it’s party after party ❤❤
i just turned 26 and i was literary freaking out but you guys made me actually appreciate my gains
Now am becoming obsessed with this podcast😍😍Manh#Team TMI❤️
Always here on time for some tea 🥳🥳..Love you guys 🫶❤️
Leave alone celebrating,let's talk about those birthdays when you don't know the direction which your life is going. Especially in your 20s your birthday is a day to remind how you are so behind. I can't wait to hit 30s and see if it's true what they say life gets better at 30 coz 20 is a no for me.
Enjoy your 20s.
@@maryasiko1683 depends with how you define 'enjoy'
The up and down of emotion in this episode is legit the good, bad and ugly of birthdays...
It's definitely TMIIII 🎶💃🏿. What a topic, as a January baby sema T for Tuff😢. Turning big 3 has been made a big deal and pressure by society😌. Murugi outfit🔥👌🏾. #WCW❤️
Ooh my! Lydia we literally share same birth dates. 3rd March. The podcast came at the right tiiiiime. March babies are awesome. Happy early birthday to you two.
When they said nothing much changes after thirty! You don't die! That was directed to me🤗😊My name was just silent😆
Sorry Lydia for the bad birthdays, hugs 🫂 to you
This is the most beautiful episode of TMI...the vulnerability & genuine friendship btn Murugi & Lydia is palpable & admirable.
❤️ this for u both!
We love that you loved it❤️
Whew. I teared up so much when Lyd cried. Hugs hun❤❤❤
I used to get triggered by my birthday😳 because my family always made it feel special 🎉 then 💣 nothing anymore. Turns out it's because my elder sister went far away for high school🙆. When I turned 18 they happened to come visit me at my aunts' (we share birthdays) during half-term and abruptly threw a party for us. Best experience ever. Now I'm going into every birthday knowing just because they don't do something doesn't mean they don't value it and want to celebrate it😄💕. I love that no spite is accompanied by birthday anymore and just that is enough.
Happy birthday to you lovely Queens ❤
We love this positivity❤️
I can relate with Murugi on the over-indulging part.
It's definitely TMI🎶🎶🎶🎶😘
This one has been an emotional one. Hugs Lyd
Oh how i love you ladies! So much fun and genuineness. Every episode feels like the best!
We love that you love this❤️
Am turning 25 this April and my last birthday was the first time I ever had a cake and it was really a big deal for me am learning to celebrate myself on all my next birthdays
Thank you for being so vulnerable Lydia ❤
You are so welcome
It's definitely TMI🥂
I loved this episode, The energy is right, Murugi is clearly going through a transition and we can feel it and we are here for it ,She has taken back seat energetically and Lyd has a fully blown energy and I am here for it, Both of you are truelly made for each other. I AM turning 33.Happy birthday Pisces.
I thought I was the only one noticing. Even on IG....
My mum was the best. On my birthday she would have 3 cakes baked, for my sister, my brother and I. And she did this on everyone’s birthday.
This was such a GREAT topic!! I really enjoyed it, well done Murugi & Lyd.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The rawness in this episode! So relatable.
It is "I was actually telling Eli" for me 😍
My birthday is like 8months away🤣. Every birthday for me is always different. I got age anxiety on my 25th birthday..seemed like such a "BIG" age😅. Making a comparison each year makes one appreciate the progress & wins however small.
I love the episode as usual❤️. Happiest birthday Pisces babies❤️
Aawww ..so cute Rose....how are you doing now
@@lifeofsheila4041 am great. Thanks. At almost 27 life is lifing in a good way
TMI is just getting better and better my goodness. It’s Oprah level all the way ❤❤😍😍
I agree
Ooh it's Wednesday 💃💃💃🥂 TMI for life
Looking lovely ladies!

Not me crying with Lydia! hugs lydia!
Not me bursting into tears while Lyd spoke😭. Am Happy also having stepped into thirty, It's definetly the age of maturity for me and am also turning 32 in June💞
We love that you enjoyed this episode ❤️
FIRST OF ALL!!! The quality of this video👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Yay! Thank you!
From it's definitely TMI! ...to it's definitely TMIIIIIIIII🎼🎵🎶🎶🎵🎼
I love that chorus ❤️😂
Wow,,,,,birthdays are a thing in my family though we never have cakes,,,,its just coz honestly we kind of can't afford it. We prepare special meal ,,,, we treat the birthday person as special that day like no house chores though no gifts 😂 . Our youngest now is 21 and mum still calls us to remind us to call the birthday person.
Thank you Lydia!!!
I'm also turning 18 on the 11th of March. I've celebrated my birthday only once that was my 5th that my late grandma outdid herself. Birthdays have always been the worst for me since something always makes me cry. I'm just hoping this year's will be happy 🙂
Omg mine Is also 11th march
I always cry on mine too😂don't worry
Beautiful girls cry on their birthday
@@akumumercy1534 lemme just agree with you 😂
