Tunza pesa, pesa ikutunze : A conversation on financial discipline and men's mental health

Money brings its own kind of pressure “presha” that many men carry silently, rarely naming it as a mental health issue in its own right. In this episode, host Michael Baruti opens up that conversation with real, lived experience and expert insight.

At the center of the discussion is Freddy Mbunda, a banker with over 10 years in the industry, who turned his own struggles with money into something bigger: Pesaplan, a platform built to help everyday people escape the cycle of financial stress by building real financial discipline.

Pesaplan isn't theory, it's shaped directly by Freddy's personal journey, offering practical tools and structure for people who want to take control of their money instead of being controlled by it.

Joining him is his friend, partner, and strategist behind the platform, Syakaa William, who brings the bigger-picture thinking behind turning financial prudence into a sustainable, everyday practice.

Rounding out the conversation is Nadia Ahmed, our resident counselor and in-house mental health expert, who connects the dots between financial pressure and emotional wellbeing, helping listeners see “presha” not as weakness, but as a signal worth addressing.

Together, they unpack how financial discipline for your pesa isn't just about numbers , it’s a form of self-care, discipline, and ultimately, freedom.
