On this week's solo episode, I'm coming to you, kind of live, from my hotel room in LA with a mixture of gratitude and Wellbutrin. We're reminding ourselves that our mental state is not always an accurate reflection of what the reality is around us, and that having sad moments doesn't make us sad people, it just makes us people. For those of you who find yourselves in struggle city this time of year, tune in for my advice on how to light the fire under you to get yourself going when you're in a rut, and what to do when you're tired of dating, but not tired of hoping to find love. I answer your voicemails about how to stop being fetishized as an Asian-American woman on dates, and how to cope with your ex moving on and getting engaged to someone else.

Beauty influencer and TV host Cyrus Veyssi wants us all to know that if a space wasn’t made for you, you can make a space for yourself. On this week’s episode, Cyrus discusses their experience as a non-binary child of immigrants in suburban Boston, why it’s important to understand the difference between someone’s intent versus their impact, and how they use beauty as an act of forgiveness to themselves.
We discuss queer dating, why Cyrus prefers to set up straight men and women, and their opinions for how couples should approach money in relationships. If you’ve ever felt limited by the social constructs of gender, sexuality, and identity, this episode is here to remind you that the only right identity is the one that frees you instead of limits you.

On this week's solo episode, I discuss why sometimes, losing everything you have is the key to getting everything you want. If you're wondering how to keep your life together when it appears to insist on falling apart, tune into this episode as we chat about how your "all is lost" moment is not your demise, but your redemption. I dive into the "all is lost" moment in my life that led me to my TikTok career, and why everyone should learn to dine alone. I answer your voicemails on how to determine what a man's intentions are on a date, when you should or shouldn't meet his parents, and how to move on from a man who fell out of love with you.

The queen of confidence, Serena F*cking Kerrigan, wants us all to know that you’re not delulu (*delusional in non-TikTok speak), you just haven’t been taught how to ask for what you want. This week, we discuss the importance of listening to your intuition, why Serena believes that we need to emphasize the importance of a woman being confident over a woman being palatable, and why she would never go back to an ex (spoiler: it’s like trying to un-spoil spoiled milk). Using her life as her muse, Serena reminds us all that no one knows what they’re doing, but that the ones who are successful are the ones who dare to try.
My conversation with Serena sheds light on how the scarcity mentality implemented by the patriarchy forces women to settle and why you should never be confused in relationships. For anyone who has ever felt like they’ve taken the wrong turn in life, this week’s episode shows us all that sometimes, the wrong turn can lead you to the right destination in the end.

On this bonus solo episode, we're diving into why dating apps are the gift wrapping of men and why I'm the not-so-proud owner of no less than a dozen cheese boards. Tune in as I unpack the psychology about why gift wrapping influences how much we like the gift itself, how it relates to dating, as well as why sometimes, the safe choice and the safe man isn't actually safe at all. I answer a listener's question about how to handle dealing with the fallout of choosing the wrong man when she was choosing between two men and why we should all look for the squatty potty of a man versus the cheeseboard of a man.

Vanderpump Rules star and entrepreneur Katie Maloney shows us why the path not taken is often the path we’re meant to take. On this week’s episode Katie details her life as a college dropout, her days before reality TV and VPR, and how she decided that she could only find her best life if she found the courage to end her marriage. We discuss whether she would ever get married again, how she’s found peace as a single thirty-something in L.A., and how she’s no longer willing to be dragged into anyone’s drama, even if it means being alone.
For anyone who has felt like their life has, metaphorically, ended, Katie’s story of overcoming a traumatic brain injury and her divorce shows us that there’s no limit, in her words, to the amount of software updates you can have in life.

We’re kicking things off with Violet Benson, host of the podcast Almost Adulting and the brain behind the viral Instagram account @daddyissues_. On this episode, we dive into how Violet managed to break the intergenerational trauma of her upbringing, why she thinks you keep attracting all the wrong men (aka Chads), and whether she really believes that you can meet the right person at the wrong time.
Violet dives into her childhood as the daughter of Russian immigrants, the first boy that ever broke her heart, and the active practice of letting go of who you were so you can become who you’re meant to be.

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.
