They laughed.
I launched.

Her face is partially hidden by a vintage computer monitor and keyboard, with the computer display reading "Y NOT BABES" repeated three times. Pink text over the image says "Y NOT" and a sarcastic phrase at the bottom says "they laugh we launch".

A woman smiling and sitting on her knees on the carpet in front of a sofa with arms outstretched, wearing a pink oversized hoodie, a pink headband, and blue jeans. Behind her is a television screen displaying the name 'Ynot' and the handle '@ynotbabes,' with a camera setup on a tripod nearby.

From “you can’t” to “just did”

When someone told me I couldn’t start a podcast, I laughed and said, “Y Not, Babes?”.

This show is a mic’d-up reminder that you don’t need permission to take up space. It’s for anyone who's ever been underestimated, silenced, or doubted. Every episode unpacks the raw, funny, real, and sometimes spiritual journeys of people who dared to create something powerful in spite of it all.

MEET YOUR babe

Hey cutie! I’m your host, the babes behind the mic, and your digital bestie. I’m a creative, a little chaotic, and a lot unapologetic. The show was born during a casual conversation when I told somebody that I wanted to launch a podcast (Truthfully, at the moment it kind of slipped and wasn’t actually planning on doing it—not yet at least). The reaction was nothing shy from negative and discouraging. I could have let that person make me feel small and inadequate. But instead, that moment inspired a spark, within. It was the unexpected nudge that I needed to do this thing. Not out of petty, not to prove a point but merely because I know what I am capable of. And I will never let anyone tell me otherwise. My voice is my superpower and it’s time we challenge the “you can’t” narrative—one mic drop at a time.

Love-bombed, Blocked, and Blessed

Sometimes closure looks like peace, a playlist, and a blocked number. Heal loud. Love louder. And remember: you're not hard to love, they are just not the one."
