Once Bitten

We started this season asking: “What are we really chasing?” and 12 raw, unfiltered episodes later, we’re closing Season 2 with tears, gratitude, and a whole lot of heart. Join Us as we revisit the moments that defined Season 2: from dissecting society’s invisible rules (“Who Let Society Boss Us Around?”) and Alex’s battle with social anxiety (“The Moment That Stole My Voice”), to Kenya’s youth-led revolution (“From Hashtags to Streets”) and the haunting beauty of Nightbirde’s wisdom: “You can’t wait until life isn’t hard anymore to be happy.”And yes, we address the hard stuff; If any words left you feeling unseen or unheard or unrepresented, we’re deeply sorry. But we stand by this, “ Real talk isn’t always pretty…but it’s always human.”Season 3 is coming. But for now, We Pause, We Breathe, We Celebrate how far we’ve come, Together.And as always TOGETHER WE GRIND, TOGETHER WE VIBE!

We’re digging into a phrase we’ve all heard a million times; “It’s okay not to be okay.” But what if constantly repeating it actually traps us in our pain? On this episode, we explore the danger of getting too comfortable with struggle and how the late Nightbirde rewrote the script on suffering. Remember her stunning America’s Got Talent moment? Fighting terminal cancer, she blew the world away not just with her voice, but with her radical truth: “You can’t wait until life isn’t hard anymore to be happy.” Her courage sparked a fire in the lives of millions, Nightbirde showed millions that pain isn’t a life sentence. Yet… we ask: Does obsessing over “normalizing” sadness sometimes become an excuse to stay stuck? We tackle real stories to find the balance between honoring your wounds… and refusing to let them bury your joy. No fluff, no fake smiles , just an honest look at how to hurt without halting your life.This Episode is For anyone who’s ever cried in the shower but wonders, “Is it time to step into the sun?” If Nightbirde’s story taught us anything, it’s this; Your pain isn’t your home…TOGETHER WE GRIND,TOGETHER WE VIBE.Remember to get in touch with us on Instagram @oncebittenpod @alexandermind_ @jamitstudios

We’ve all been there; staring at LinkedIn “success stories” while eating cereal for dinner, wondering, “Am I failing at life?” In this raw, relatable episode, your Host Alexander bring in Guest-Hosts Sam and Karis to tackle the messy intersection of soft life vibes and society’s endless hustle checklist. Why does “follow your passion” sound like a prank when rent is due? How do you silence the voice screaming “You should be farther ahead by now!”? We share our own meltdown moments, dissect why Instagram highlight reels mess with our heads , and debate if “success” should mean quiet joy not burnout badges.From career FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) to ditching the “I’ll be happy when…” mindset, we ask: Can the soft life actually save your sanity, or is it just a fancy word for giving up? No toxic positivity here, just real talk, awkward laughs, and actionable tips to rewrite your own definition of “enough”.Listening is a prescription, commenting is advised, and sharing is recommended. Let's interact @oncebittenpod @jamitstudios @alexandermind @robin254

Picture this; You’re a 24-year-old guy in Nairobi. Your girlfriend just texted “We need to talk” after you forgot her birthday, again because you were juggling your kibarua , your mom’s “Tuma ya fertilizer” demands, and the fact that your “keja” is a curtain-partitioned corner in Kawangware. Society says “Be a man!” but doesn’t tell you how to survive when a plate of beans costs 100 bob, your side hustle imededi kama fish za Nairobi river , and your boys keep tagging you in memes about being broke, unfortunetly.This week on ONCE BITTEN PODCAST, we’re keeping it raw, real, and 100% Sheng. Host Alexander bring in Guest-Hosts, Sam and Gabu in tackling the chaos of being a young African man now.Like; Why she wants “energy” but ghosts when you suggest a “Netflix & Chill” at your Airbnb (aka your cousin’s couch), or Breaking your back on TikTok affiliate marketing just to afford a “flex” weekend at BND… only to end the month na deni ya Fuliza, ama Your uncle’s “We did it barefoot in the 90s!” lectures vs. your reality of sending “Niko na Talent, ntawacha kazi” to dodge his fake promise of giving a job after highschool.The discussion on How to handle stress when your brain feels like a Maandamano ya Genz; overcrowded.We’ll roast the toxic “Man Must Suffer” mindset (looking at you, guy who posts gym selfies but survives on mayai pasua na smocha), share survival hacks. Grab your earphones, mute your auntie’s “When will you marry?” calls, and join the vibe. No scripts, no pretense just your boys keeping it real and unfiltered. Tafadhali, if you do feel like crying, jibambe. Warning: Contains only Sheng words, relatable traumas, and jokes about your ex’s new “business partner” who looks suspiciously like her Insta gym coach.Remember to listen, comment, like and share with your man.

In this raw, unflinching episode, Alex breaks his silence to share his darkest year, a haunting journey through grief, guilt, and the invisible wars of ADHD and social anxiety.After losing a friend to suicide, Alex is crushed by questions he can’t answer: “Why didn’t I see it? Why wasn’t I there?” But the storm doesn’t stop there. A toxic work project eats away at his confidence, ulcers burn through his stomach.For the first time, Alex opens up about the invisible chains of ADHD: days spent paralyzed by deadlines, nights lost to panic attacks. He doesn’t sugarcoat the mess, the unread texts, the abandoned friendshipsBut in the rubble, tiny sparks of hope flicker. “Acknowledging there is a problem” A stubborn houseplant. Learning to say “no.” This isn’t a story about “healing.” It’s about surviving minute by minute, even when the world feels like a pit with no way out.Why listen?1. If you’ve ever felt “broken” by your own mind…2. If guilt has kept you awake, whispering “You should’ve done more”…3. If you’re tired of pretending you’re “fine”……this episode is a hand in the dark. No platitudes. No easy fixes. Just one person’s truth, told through tears, rage, and fragile resilience.Join the conversation that’s as uncomfortable as it is necessary. Because sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is admit you’re still learning how to breathe.

Ever shared a post about a cause and wondered, Does this even matter? You’re not scrolling alone. In this episode of Once Bitten, Alex, Roba and Sam dive into the messy, powerful world of social media activism and how young people are turning tweets into real-world revolutions.Take Nigeria’s #EndSARS movement in 2020: Millions flooded Twitter to demand an end to police brutality, leading to nationwide protests that forced the government to disband the notorious SARS unit. Or Kenya’s #MyDressMyChoice in 2014, where viral outrage over a woman assaulted for her clothing sparked street marches for women’s rights. Fast-forward to Kenya’s 2024 protests against the Finance Bill? Thousands of GenZ flooded TikTok and X (formerly Twitter) to slam unfair taxes, then hit the streets to make their voices unignorable. Spoiler: The government backed down. They break down how hashtags like #RejectFinanceBill2024 became battle cries, and why memes, TikTok skits, and viral threads are now as vital as protest signs.But it’s not all victory dances. They ask tough questions: Can liking a post replace showing up? Does online outrage fade faster than a Snapchat streak?You’ll laugh at their takes on “Instagram vs. reality” activism, get tips on turning digital rage into offline action (no, you don’t need to chain yourself to a building), and hear why Kenya’s youth are the blueprint for balancing phones in one hand and protest posters in the other.Whether you’re a Keyboard warrior, a rally newbie, or just tired of being told “young people don’t care,” this episode is your kick in the pants: Change starts with a click, but it doesn’t end there.Leave a comment, drop a share to a friend, and follow us @oncebittenpodOnce Bitten: Together we Grind,Together we Vibe!

Ever wondered if leaning into the “soft life” might accidentally make you too cozy? You’re not alone. In this episode of Once Bitten, We tackle the big question: How soft is too soft? And how do we stop feeling guilty for wanting balance? We’ve all been there, trading hustle culture for lazy Sundays, saying “no” to burnout, but then… wondering, wait, am I being kind to myself or just avoiding life? We get real about our own struggles. We chat about where self-care ends and self-sabotage begins, and why society still side-eyes folks who choose peace over grind. But it’s not all deep talk! We share funny fails, practical tips (like how to set boundaries without sounding like a robot), and why “balance” doesn’t mean splitting every day 50/50 between work and play. Spoiler: Sometimes it’s okay to be 90% to hide in your duvets.Whether you’re a burnout survivor, a hustle-mode addict, or just someone who wants to enjoy life without feeling lazy, this episode is your reminder;It’s not about being soft or tough, it’s about being human. Tune in, laugh, and finally give yourself permission to chill (or hustle) guilt-free. Remember to follow us on all socials @oncebittenpod .

Should your partner be smarter than you? And does it even matter? In Episode 6 of Once Bitten, We will dive into the tricky debate about love, smarts, and power. We are asking tough questions: Is a super-smart partner exciting… or intimidating? Why do some people prefer a stay-at-home partner vs. someone with a career? Is it about love, pride, or old-fashioned rules? With jokes, stories, and honest talk, we will share our own views (and insecurities!) while digging into why these topics feel so personal, and why society judges them. No fancy answers here, just real talk about what we "say" we want vs. what we "actually" want. Can love survive ego? Are we scared of being outshined? Tune in for a chat that’s smart, funny, and maybe a little uncomfortable. Whether you’re dating, married, or just curious, this episode will make you rethink what really matters in a relationship.
