In this opening episode of the series Your Mama Said What?!, Kyng Ty Rivers unpacks one of the most infamous phrases many of us grew up hearing:
“Because I said so.”
What seems like a simple answer is often a mask for power, silence, and emotional shutdown. In this honest and heartfelt conversation, Kyng explores how this phrase shaped our ability to question, trust, and think for ourselves — and what it means to unlearn it in adulthood.
Tune in if you’ve ever been told to “just do it” with no explanation — and want to understand the emotional weight those four words carried.
Because healing starts when we stop repeating what hurt us.
