    77. We've Tekken it too far. Saying yes to fighting games, combos & esports w/ Sylvia Gathoni Wahome aka QueenArrow
    Jul 25 2025
    Here's what happens when a complete newbie with zero hand-eye coordination says yes to Tekken 8 with the help of Kenya's top esports queen. One crazy Yes challenge, some wild combos, and an eye-opening Yespisode.For this one, Claire picked up a controller and threw herself into the high-speed, high-stakes world of fighting games, with Akumu spectating and silently (okay, loudly) judging from the sidelines. It was her first time doing a combo challenge: the kind where timing, strategy, and lightning reflexes are the name of the game.And guiding her through it all was Sylvia Gathoni Wahome, better known as QueenArrow (@thequeenarrow98) - a trailblazing Kenyan Tekken pro, content creator, Kenya's first Red Bull athlete, and Forbes Africa 30 Under 30 honouree.In this episode, Sylvia breaks down what it really takes to make it in esports, shares how she balances law school with pro gaming (yes, she's doing both), and offers advice to anyone thinking of entering the gaming scene.Along the way, this conversation weaves through the evolution of gaming to the vibrant global communities you can now join right from your console. It also touches on the challenges of being a young female in a male-dominated industry that wasn't built with Africa in mind, as Sylvia points out.Make no mistake: there's more to modern gaming than just flashy graphics.Today, it comes with real discipline and real money. Whether it's through livestreaming, influencing, or climbing the ranks in esports competitions, gaming today is serious business.___Timestamps for Specific Segments:(0:00) Intro(4:19) Meet Sylvia Gathoni Wahome aka QueenArrow(6:33) The Tekken Yes Challenge Sylvia Set for Claire(7:37) What Exactly is a Combo?(9:13) Claire's Experience With Video Games(11:24) Claire's Experience Doing This Yes Challenge(18:26) Do You Need a Coach as a Pro Gamer?(21:16) Are the Yes Girls Cut Out For Pro Gaming?(23:55) Sylvia Rates Claire's Efforts(26:05) Sylvia's Journey From Hobbyist to Pro Gamer(29:15) A Day in the Life of a Pro Gamer(31:29) What's the Hardest Thing About Pro Gaming?(33:51) On Sylvia Balancing Both Law and Pro Gaming(35:12) The Challenges of Being Both African and Female in Gaming(40:43) Sylvia's Advice for Anyone Who Wants to Get Started(43:09) Key Takeaways(45:22) What Sylvia Has Recently Said Yes to(45:59) Outro___Fun fact: The biggest entertainment industry in the world isn't big screen productions, music, or even TV. It's gaming - pulling in over $200 billion a year as of 2025. That's more than film and music combined.So if you're still thinking gaming is just for teens/tweens in basements, this episode might just change your mind. Claire gave it a shot. Sylvia rated her performance. And now it's your turn to press play.Important ResourcesFollow & learn more about Sylvia:https://www.instagram.com/thequeenarrow98https://www.tiktok.com/@thequeenarrow98https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QueenArrowGaming Industry stats:https://www.mordorintelligence.com/industry-reports/global-gaming-marketTekken 8:https://en.bandainamcoent.eu/tekken/tekken-8Steam:https://store.steampowered.com/about/Video game genres:https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/tech-takes/video-game-genres*******If you enjoy the podcast, we love you!

    76. It's a touchy topic. Sexual intelligence & sex ed for women ready to reclaim their body (and their pleasure) without shame w/ Maurice Matheka
    Jul 11 2025
    What happens when a woman in her 30s decides it's time to truly know her body, not just anatomically, but sensually, emotionally, and unapologetically? In this Yespisode, Akumu says yes to one of the most intimate challenges yet: reclaiming her body (and her pleasure) - without shame.With Claire listening in and learning alongside you, the Yes Girls dive into the world of sexual intelligence, somatic awareness, and body literacy — led by none other than Maurice Matheka, a certified sex therapist since 2002 and your go-to guru for turning awkward moans into toe-curling yes moments.Whether he's untangling relationship knots or helping couples (and singles) hit the right rhythm, Maurice is all about ditching shame and mastering the fine art of satisfaction. For him, great sex isn't just chemistry, it's communication, confidence, and knowing exactly what hits the spot (yes, THAT spot)… then asking for it, out loud._____Timestamps for Specific Segments:(0:00) Intro(4:51) Introducing Maurice Matheka and the Yes Challenge(8:09) Akumu shares her experience(10:42) Kegels during sex?! Do they work?(13:07) Are men simply semen dispensers?(14:58) Setting sexual expectations & having such conversations(17:50) The conditioning necessary for a woman to have an orgasm(20:42) Sexual pleasure vs. romance or romantic notions?!(26:19) Women encouraging their husbands or long-term partners(30:46) Is women's sexual peak connected to maturity or vulva changes?(32:15) Long-term relationships & obligational sex(33:52) Penis girth & vagina depth/alignment - do they matter?(35:04) Body shape changes and penis shrinkage?!(36:41) The challenges of trying to spice things up in the bedroom(39:38) A man's diet & how it can affect his erection(42:28) Maurice rates Akumu's efforts in this Yes Challenge(49:11) Societal shame vs. self pleasure & women being taught to hate their body(52:00) If you're a woman who's never had an orgasm, where do you even start?!(53:50) Long-term relationship tips, rekindling the sexual spark & the importance of out-of-town role playing for sexual pleasure(1:01:58) A small thing anyone can start doing today for a better sex life(1:06:40) What Maurice has recently said "yes" to(1:08:36) Outro_____Together, Maurice and Akumu unpack what it means to be intimate with yourself before anyone else, and the rest of the discussion explores everything from pleasure as self-care and feminine embodiment to the long process of unlearning sexual shame. This episode isn't about being provocative or clickbait-y; it's about being present, curious, and empowered in your skin.If you've ever felt disconnected from your partner or your body, confused about what you enjoy, or silenced by outdated beliefs around sex and sensuality, this one's for you.Tune in for a bold, healing, and radically honest conversation that reminds us all: you don't just deserve pleasure. You were built for it._______Important resources:Find Maurice online:https://mauricetherapy.comFollow him:https://www.facebook.com/maurice.mathekamakauhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maurice_therapy254https://www.instagram.com/mauricemathekahttps://x.com/mauricetherapyWhat is an akashic record:https://www.britannica.com/topic/Akashic-record ____________________If you enjoy the podcast, we love you!
