This Cant Be Lyfe Podcast

This week Kay poses a question regarding the lack of support and compassion for one another amongst Black folks. Where is the community? Why are we so quick to dismiss each other's pain/trauma? Why are we so comfortable turning the cheek when we see someone stumbling or falling? Where is the encouragement? Why aren't we doing more uplifting and instead tearing down within our community?

On this week's episode, KayThe Rebel talks about a trigger of her which she remains silent about; feeling unappreciated. She touches base on getting the short end of the stick in a lot of situations in love, friendship and even family. It is very bothersome how people don't return the same energy/love that you give them. Will there ever be some sort of balance between the givers and the takers?

After another brief hiatus, KayTheRebel returns with a short and sweet episode addressing an issue that she no longer glorifies; exes reconnecting and re-engaging without pure intentions. She talked about how it can be damaging sometimes or that she often feels triggered by it. Do these men do this to only her or all their other exes too? She's tired of the false narrative that she's "missed" or t...

After hearing all of the chatter regarding black women not being married, KayTheRebel decided it was best to approach the mic and spin her perspective on the topic.

This week KayTheRebel talks about what the year 2022 looked like when it came to dating.

May...

After a very long break, KayTheRebel comes through emptying the entire clip as she expresses her disdain for the "Protect black women" movement.

This week KayTheRebel returns from a two month break and discusses friendships amongst women. She discussed her experience with coming to the realization that although someone is your close friend, there are sometimes levels to it. Just because someone labels you a "bestie" doesn't mean that you truly are. Why don't more women show up for their friends as they do for men? Why is love and energy ov...

This week KayTheRebel dropped an episode filled with unsolicited advice. LOL. Be happy when people find love (even if it doesn't fit your standard). Many of y'all have twisted the definition of loyalty to your liking & need to quit the BS. Forgiveness is trash; it doesn't do anything except encourage ppl to keep playing with you. Stop personalizing other people's journey. Not everyone is worthy of...

This week KayTheRebel shares her perspective on how folks should start shying away from saying they want love like someone else (whether celebrities, movies, parents etc).

The episode ended with her talking about being unable to establish a connectio...
