Brutally Anna

By: Anna Kai
  • Summary

  • Welcome to Brutally Anna, a podcast about finding love, losing love, and all the things we think about a lot, but don’t talk about enough. I’m your host, Anna Kai aka @maybeboth across social media, here to remind you that life can be beautiful, even when it’s freaking brutal. On this brand new podcast, I’m joined by some of your favorite creators and experts on how they navigate dating, how to stay hopeful when you’ve kissed one-too-many frogs or Chads, and most importantly, how to love yourself when you haven’t yet found someone else to love you. Each week, we tackle everything from dating after divorce, how to ask for what you want from a relationship, and what death can teach us about love and life. If you’ve ever wondered how to begin again when life as you know it has ended, this podcast is here to remind you that the best thing to come out of rejection is often our reinvention. Join me on Mondays as I sit down and get you the brutal truth so that you can find your truth. Don’t forget to follow me @maybeboth across social media and subscribe to Brutally Anna wherever you get your podcasts.

  • Solo Episode: Your Comfort Zone Is Crippling You
    Feb 20 2025
    We lost power for 40 hours in 18 degree weather! On this week's solo episode, I muse on how losing power reinforced the fact that I will never like camping and why my version of being "outdoorsy" involves a screened-in porch and a temperature controlled room nearby. We dive into why your comfort zone is killing your potential, and why you shouldn't settle for what's familiar just because the unfamiliar gives you heebie jeebies. I dive into your voicemails on whether you might be mistaking drama for romance, and why you're really not as old as you think you are.

  • The art of taking life less seriously feat. Hayden Cohen
    Feb 17 2025
    Our favorite influencer who makes us all feel better about sh*tting on influencers, Hayden Cohen (aka @hayderz), shares his journey on this week’s episode from handling social media for brands to becoming a social media sensation himself. Since 2020, Hayden has been known for his humorous and all-too-accurate impersonations of influencers, reminding us that it pays to take life a little less seriously sometimes. Hayden discusses his early days of content creation, the chaos of his days behind-the scenes managing influencers, and his experiences with influencer culture. He also touches on his life before Instagram-fame, including his close-knit family, his experiences growing up gay, and his first (and last!) relationship with his boyfriend, Aaron. Our conversation sheds light on the balance between online personas and real life, the wild world of influencing, and the importance of remaining grounded despite newfound internet fame.

  • Solo Episode: Embracing life's dualities and what you don't know about friendships
    Feb 13 2025
    In this week's solo episode of 'Brutally Anna,' I'm spilling the tea (or at least, half spilling the tea) on the highs of strutting at Fashion Week to the lows of some unexpected personal drama. We're DIY-ing over in our house as I talk about everything I learned from teaching myself how to replace light fixtures and why you're probably more capable than you're giving yourself credit for. I dive into the unpredictability of life, the Philly Eagles' epic Super Bowl win, and why you don't have to believe in yourself to achieve great things. Lastly, I tackle a listener's question about friendships, sharing my thoughts on why quality beats quantity and why you should always be your own bestie. Tune in for laughs, life lessons, and a whole lot of oversharing.
