CockTales: Dirty Discussions

I went to Bali to find my peace, prayed for God to remove everything that wasn't meant for me, and came home to a LAYOFF! 😭 Be careful what you pray for, because apparently God does same-day processing! This week on **CockTales with Kiki**, I'm catching y'all up on my Bali girls' trip, the luxury villas, wild group challenges, spiritual revelations, and why I'm seriously considering relocating my entire nervous system overseas. But the real plot twist? After 12 years at my radio job, I got called into the office just to be laid off! We're talking unexpected life changes, career transitions, knowing your worth, and whether Venus retrograde has everybody's life in shambles. Is this a setback or the blessing I've been asking for? And because this is CockTales, we can't get too inspirational without getting into some MESS! 😂 In this week's **Sip & Spill**, one listener shares a disastrous date with a lawyer who couldn't afford the drinks but somehow still managed to talk a big game in the bedroom. Another…

Some of y'all have fake friends, some of y'all talk too damn much, and some of y'all are planning weddings with men who don't even like you. We have a LOT to discuss! Kiki is back for a hilariously unfiltered solo episode of CockTales with Kiki, and this week, she's got questions. Why do people pretend to like someone just to keep a business connection? Is your friend copying your style because she admires you, or is she trying to steal your whole life? And why does your best friend know every intimate detail about your relationship? Before getting into the advice emails, Kiki takes a few hilarious detours through chaotic reality TV, The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia, Game of Thrones family dynasties, overrated baby showers, matcha obsession, and why everybody's boyfriend doesn't need to come to girls' night. Then things get messy in Ask Kiki, where we're tackling: Fake friends who secretly dislike each other A copycat bestie who's taking imitation a little too far Whether to tell your friend…

Comedian, actress, author, and professional truth-teller Ms. Pat joins Kiki for a conversation that goes exactly where you’d expect it to… and then completely off the rails.Ms. Pat is celebrating her new book, Miss American Dream, and opens up about how her idea of “making it” has changed over the years. From once believing success looked like a house with a white picket fence to realizing that family, happiness, and breaking generational cycles are the real dream, she reflects on everything it took to build the life she has now.The two get into believing in yourself when nobody else does, separating friendship from business, learning to set boundaries as your success grows, knowing when it’s time to let people go, and why everyone around you can’t automatically come along for the ride.Of course, it wouldn’t be CockTales without things getting a little chaotic. Kiki finds out very quickly that she would’ve made a TERRIBLE drug dealer, Ms. Pat explains why Kiki has absolutely no street in her, and a Sip &…

Grab a drink and let's hear a few dilemmas. Have you ever just needed to come to a friend a say girl, I need your advice? Well, sometimes we all need a little advice.

This week, Kiki sits down with Nya the Vampire, the woman behind Atlanta’s all-Black burlesque revue, YAMMS, for a conversation all about confidence, sensuality, and taking up space unapologetically. Nya breaks down what burlesque really is, what people can expect at a show, and how the art form can help women reconnect with their bodies, femininity, and confidence. They also get into seduction, self-expression, feeling sexy without performing for anybody else, and what happens when you stop waiting for permission to be bold. Whether you’re already comfortable being the center of attention or still figuring out how to own the room, this one is your reminder that confidence is a practice — and sometimes you just need a little glitter, a little nerve, and a whole lot of audacity. Every sip has a story. 🍸 Follow Nya! @nyathevampire @nyathegod @yammsburlesque Get Your tix to Yamms Fest at www.yammsfest.com Sponsors: INDACLOUD If you’re 21 or older, get 30% OFF your first order @IndaCloud with code COCKTALES at…

It’s Kiki’s birthday episode, and Mandii B is back on the couch — which means there was never a chance this conversation was going to stay on one topic. Kiki and Mandii catch up on friendship, getting older, cutting people off, dating across age groups, and what it means when the relationships you’ve had for years no longer fit the person you’re becoming. Mandii also gets candid about being solo poly, why marriage and kids aren’t part of her end goal, navigating jealousy in non-monogamous relationships, and why knowing exactly what you want makes dating a whole lot easier. Of course, things get messy along the way. They get into who can and cannot say the N-word, why some people are obsessed with leaving a “legacy” through children, the pressure women put on romantic relationships, AI helping the girlies text men, rich auntie expectations, and whether people actually like the people they’re dating. Then Ask Kiki brings the perfect dilemma for Mandii: a listener is considering opening her relationship… except…

What happens when somebody switches up on you — do you protect your peace, address it, or give them exactly the same energy back? This week on CockTales with Kiki, Kiki gets into the difference between setting a boundary and just being petty, why changed energy can tell you everything you need to know, and whether “matching energy” is actually empowering… or just letting somebody else dictate how you move. Then Sip & Spill takes a turn when a caller shares a situation involving an ex resurfacing and a baby, raising some very real questions about old relationships, unexpected circumstances, and what happens when the past comes knocking with a whole new set of complications. Plus: flaky friends, knowing who really shows up for you, and why sometimes the best response to weird energy is not matching it at all.Every sip has a story — and this one comes with boundaries.

In this solo episode of CockTales with Kiki, Kiki gets into what it really means to show up — for your friends, your relationships, and yourself. After a Sip & Spill caller admits she’s nervous about planning a party only to have people cancel, the conversation opens up into flakiness, dating etiquette, last-minute cancellations, and the difference between protecting your peace and simply being inconsiderate. Kiki also answers an Ask Kiki letter from a listener who feels like she’s wasting her twenties waiting for the next chapter of her life to finally begin, plus another very different dilemma involving a boyfriend, old sex videos, and one extremely questionable camera roll. From RSVP anxiety to mixed signals and learning how to enjoy your life before everything is perfectly figured out, this episode is about who shows up, who flakes, and what it really means.

Every sip has a story… and apparently one glass of Prosecco has about 20. Dree Taylor is back, and this week we're catching up on everything from the RHOA reunion and our latest reality TV opinions to moving drama, family updates, expensive weddings, questionable decisions and the very real possibility that Whitley almost sent somebody to the First 48. Then the stories start STORYING. We get into some absolutely unhinged listener submissions—including a workplace hookup with more parts than a Netflix limited series—and Dree and I add a few confessions of our own. Somewhere along the way we're talking broken beds, sex on vacation, old flames, bad decisions, and why some stories only get funnier once enough time has passed. Grab a drink and come sit with us. Because around here, every sip has a story—and this week, we have plenty. Follow My Girl! @_dreetaylor Follow Me! @cocktalespodcast @kikisaidso Contact us!

Dree Taylor is back, and apparently all we needed was a cocktail and a microphone to cover every possible topic known to womanhood. We start with a truly unhinged edition of Weird Sex featuring jewelry made out of semen (yes, you read that correctly), then head to Westeros to discuss dragons, questionable family trees and why Kiki still needs somebody willing to cut a head off on her behalf. From there, we get into the Housewives friendship fallout, men with multiple wives, childhood crimes involving acorn pies, and whether there should be a statute of limitations on airing your ex out online. Somehow, we also end up planning Kiki’s funeral—complete with a hologram, a snatched casket body, possible haunting privileges and a plan to turn her ashes into a diamond. Because obviously. Then we get a little serious about friendship when a listener asks what to do when she realizes she may be the only thing keeping her friend group alive. Is it time for an honest conversation…or time to let that group chat die in…

Welcome to **The Next Chapter of CockTales with Kiki** — new studio, new show, but don’t worry… it’s still the same ol’ Kiki. In this first official episode of the new era, Kiki is catching Production up on what’s changing, what’s staying exactly the same, and why CockTales is becoming even more like the group chat you never want to mute. We’re still talking **sex, dating, relationships and all the questionable decisions that come with them**, but now we’ve got even more room for pop culture, friendship, travel, life updates, random thoughts and whatever else has Kiki asking, “Am I the only one wondering this?” This week, a listener needs advice about mismatched sex drives and how to help his “good girl” girlfriend tap into her freakier side. Kiki has thoughts about libido, intimacy, foreplay, romance novels, sexual compatibility and why sometimes the answer isn’t another position — it’s actually talking to your partner. Then it’s time for the debut of **Questions That Need Answers**, including why everyone…

It’s the end of an era...but not CockTales. Medinah returns to CockTales one final time to share what she’s been up to, what she’s learned during this season of transition, and why she made the difficult decision to step away from the show after nearly 500 episodes. Kiki and Medinah reflect on growing up publicly, doing things scared, navigating new relationships, unlearning old patterns, and accepting when something meaningful no longer aligns with the direction your life is taking. They also discuss the pressure to give people every detail, why closure does not always come with a dramatic explanation, and how walking away does not have to erase the love, memories, and work that came before it. There are tears, laughter, old CockTales memories, a few final confessions, and an honest goodbye to the chapter they created together. Thank you to everyone who listened, supported, laughed, traveled, attended live shows, and grew alongside CockTales over the years. One chapter is closing, but the story is far from…

Kiki is recording on fumes in the middle of moving week, surrounded by boxes, broken nails, damaged furniture, and enough bickering to make her wonder whether the stress is coming from the move or Mercury being in Gatorade again. She shares the chaotic reality of combining households with her man that’s not her man, why his approach to the homebuying process has left her feeling out of the loop, and how to support a partner who is stressed without sounding controlling or turning into their unpaid project manager. Kiki also breaks down how Mercury retrograde may be affecting communication, relationships, collaborations, and major life transitions, plus what everyone should watch for during the post-retrograde shadow period. Then, she opens up a conversation about breakups, closure, ghosting, and whether every relationship deserves an exit interview. Production, tap in with your advice, and get ready for Sip & Spill, the new segment where listeners can call the Nightcap Number with anonymous confessions,…

QTNA: Questions That Need Answers Kiki has questions…and apparently, y’all are production now, so it’s time to clock in. 😂 This week, she’s catching you up on the chaos, the changes happening behind the scenes at CockTales, and why some updates may need to stay on mute until the keys are in hand. Then we’re getting into the real questions that need answers: Are your friends’ former hookups permanently off limits? Is keeping it a secret worse than actually doing it? Have you ever seen a man so fine you didn’t care if you or your homegirl got him—as long as SOMEBODY did? Why don’t men listen? And when does “being the bigger person” stop being maturity and start feeling like self-abandonment? Plus, Kiki wants to know why everybody is so serious on the internet, why some of y’all stopped listening to CockTales, what brought you back, and most importantly…what’s going to make you stay? Grab a drink, get in the comments, and answer the damn questions. QTNA. 🍸 VB Health- Try DRIVE BOOST Get 10% off DRIVE BOOST from…

This week, Kiki is taking roll call: Production, where y’all at? From the pressure to be a “girl’s girl” to the very real question of whether we need everybody to like us, Kiki gets into the complicated ways we show up for other women, and when “support” turns into blindly backing somebody who may be dead wrong. She also addresses the nosy-bitch paradox: Why do we hate when people are in our business… but suddenly know exactly who to call when we need the tea? Is being nosy actually the problem, or is it what people do with the information once they get it? Plus, Kiki shares a show update, talks about the difference between online personas and real life, answers an advice letter from a listener who feels like she has made her boyfriend her whole personality, and makes a case for maintaining your own life...even in a loving relationship.

Kiki and Dree dive into everything from Real Housewives of Atlanta drama and celebrity gossip to sex talk, conspiracy theories, broke men with too much free time, and why spaghetti might just be the official meal of economic struggle.

This week on CockTales: Dirty Discussions, Kiki and Medinah are joined by board-certified sex and relationship coach Bryanna Gená for an honest (and hilarious) conversation about orgasms, fake moans, emotional foreplay, and why so many women struggle to speak up in the bedroom. The ladies break down the myths women were taught about sex, why penetration alone doesn’t work for everyone, and how emotional safety, chemistry, anticipation, and communication all play a role in pleasure. They also get into bad sex, “warming the Buick up,” men with too much confidence, masturbation, sex shame in the Black community, and why some people are literally counting sheep during sex. Plus: living apart while married, period diaper discourse, being attracted to men with “curated sex playlists,” and asking a date if he might be on the spectrum.

This week, we’re joined by Kitty Roberts — founder of Worst Behavior Tour — for a conversation about luxury travel, relationship drama, sexual curiosity, girls trips, and why everybody is NOT built for international travel. We talk about: the reality of hosting trips to places like Jamaica, Bali, Thailand, and the Philippines relationship drama that unfolds on vacation why some couples should NEVER travel together balancing freedom, trust, and boundaries while dating sex clubs, open-minded relationships, and curiosity travel scams and red flags people miss when booking group trips why travel changes the way you see dating, men, and yourself the pressure women face when dating publicly Meg Thee Stallion’s breakup discourse and why women are exhausted with cheating culture Kitty also shares stories from hosting trips to Hedonism II, wild travel moments, why communication matters before couples trips, and the difference between traveling for fun versus traveling for healing, freedom, and self-discovery.

This week on CockTales: Dirty Discussions, we’re unpacking a word we use all the time but rarely question… deserve. What does it actually mean to deserve something? Is it earned… aligned… or just something we say we want? From dating standards and “soft life” expectations to the reality of accepting less than we claim we deserve, we get real about confidence, self-worth, and the disconnect between what we say and how we move. Plus, one of us shares a wild dating story that quickly turned into a lesson in knowing when to walk away… immediately. If you’ve ever said “I deserve better” but stayed anyway… this episode is for you.

This week, we’re joined by the CEO of The Power of Girls, a program dedicated to building confidence, leadership, and cultural awareness in young girls. From international trips to real-life mentorship, they’re shaping the next generation of women in a major way. We get into what “power” really means (and why it’s not what you think), how confidence actually shows up in real life, and the fine line between being confident and being a people pleaser. Plus, we talk about social media pressure, body image, and why exposure matters more than perfection when it comes to raising girls. It’s funny, it’s honest, and it might have you rethinking your own definition of confidence.

This week on CockTales: Dirty Discussions, we start things off light with a “hydration station” cocktail (because apparently water is the drink of the day 😭) before spiraling into a conversation that goes everywhere — and we mean everywhere. From reflections on Harriet Tubman’s no-nonsense leadership to debates about whether we’d survive the apocalypse, the girls get into family compounds, doomsday prepper plans, and what skills actually matter when everything falls apart. Let’s just say… not everyone is making the cut. Somehow, we also find time to debate fast food favorites, question what’s really in our food, and discuss helping others versus minding your business when life choices get questionable. And of course, the advice segment does not disappoint: – One listener wants to surprise her husband with anal sex but is TERRIFIED 😅 – Another shares a church story that took a turn she absolutely did not see coming… It’s unhinged, it’s hilarious, it’s a little deep, and it’s very much CockTales.

This week, we’re outside (literally) with a real Atlanta insider. We’re joined by Shanita, the woman behind @blackgirlsguideatl, and she came through with the blueprint for actually enjoying this city—whether you’re dating, solo, or outside with your girls. We kick things off with a round of I’m Curious to Know that gets a little personal (as usual), then get into everything Atlanta: where to go, what to do, and how to stop defaulting to the same tired dinner + drinks routine. From Beltline staples and hidden gems to interactive date ideas, museums, wine tastings, and even where to meet quality men (yes… she gave real strategy), this episode is basically your Atlanta starter pack. We’re talking daytime vibes, girl dates, family-friendly options, and experiences that actually make dating fun again. We also get into real conversation about confidence, self-worth, and dating from a place of abundance—not desperation. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overlooked, or unsure where to start, this part is for you. Plus, we…

This week on CockTales: Dirty Discussions,the conversation gets real about effort, expectations, and the ongoing struggle of trying to meet people halfway… when they’re barely stepping forward. We’re joined by publicist and conflict coach, Adrienne, of the IPY Agency. We unpack the imbalance that shows up in dating and relationships — from emotional labor to planning, communication, and consistency — and ask: are we asking for too much, or are people just doing too little? The episode dives into what “meeting in the middle” actually looks like, how compromise gets misunderstood, and why so many situationships feel one-sided. Of course, we keep it honest, a little petty, and very relatable.Topics Covered: What “meeting in the middle” really means in dating Feeling like you’re always the one putting in effort Unrealistic expectations vs. bare minimum behavior Why compromise shouldn’t feel like sacrifice Situationship dynamics and uneven energy Emotional labor and communication gaps Knowing when to adjust… and…

This week, we’re joined by comedian Keysha E for a fun, slightly chaotic, and very honest conversation about dating, attraction, and figuring out what we actually want. From celebrity crush debates to whether chemistry is just a toxic addiction (yes, we said it), we get into the difference between a good partner and a good time. We also talk about pretty privilege in comedy, dating in Atlanta vs. LA, finances in relationships, and why “safe” might not be as boring as it sounds. Plus, we answer a listener question about feeling lost in life and share a CockTales story that involves a FaceTime mishap you absolutely don’t want to experience 😭 We kick things off getting to know Keysha—from her journey into comedy to what it’s like being an attractive woman in a space where people don’t always expect you to be funny . The conversation quickly turns into dating (of course), where we unpack everything from celebrity crushes and short king debates to the reality of dating in Atlanta versus Los Angeles. We get into a…

This week on CockTales: Dirty Discussions, Kiki and Medinah sit down with LaToya Shambo, founder and CEO of Black Girl Digital and creator of Creator Palooza. From building a platform that celebrates Black creators to negotiating million-dollar brand deals, LaToya breaks down what it really takes to build influence into a real business. The conversation dives into entrepreneurship, imposter syndrome, and the realities of the creator economy—plus how to determine your value and confidently negotiate what you’re worth. LaToya shares the lessons she learned from working in advertising and media before launching her own company and explains why learning on someone else’s dime can be one of the smartest moves future entrepreneurs make. They also talk about growth, letting go of old situations, the importance of forgiveness, and why knowing your value—whether in business, relationships, or life—is a practice. If you’ve ever wondered how creators turn content into careers, this episode is packed with insight,…

Kiki and Medinah kick off Women’s History Month reflecting on their own journeys through womanhood — though, as usual, the conversation takes a few hilarious detours.

This week on CockTales: Dirty Discussions, we sit down with comedian Trey Moe for a conversation that’s equal parts chaotic and grown. From going through phones and finding out you’re not the only one, to standing firm on financial standards in relationships, Trey explains why he’s quick to say, “You do that again, I’m gone.” But is that emotional maturity… or just control in a cardigan? We also get into: • Open relationships and “roster” culture • Financial responsibility and relationship expectations • Why some women hear “comedian” and think “struggling artist” • Celibacy, discipline, and personal growth • Is it hard to date someone who actually holds you accountable? • Older women, social media posting, and modern dating dynamics Trey shares how growing up fast shaped the man he is today and why growth in relationships isn’t always soft and gentle.

We talk about how dating changes in your 30s, why moving too fast in relationships can create chaos, and how men and women often misunderstand each other when it comes to vulnerability and emotional needs. The conversation dives into casual dating vs commitment, love languages, communication, and the importance of boundaries in modern relationships. B-Mac opens up about fatherhood, co-parenting, career growth, and learning how to be emotionally available in a world where social media and public opinion never stop talking. We also discuss the pressure to share your life online, handling criticism, and the reality of building relationships while still healing. If you’ve ever struggled with situationships, dating boundaries,…

This week on CockTales: Dirty Discussions, we’re asking the real question: Who has shut-up money?! We kick things off with travel nostalgia and vacation dreams before running straight into the hilarious reality of adulthood. We dive into the chaos of planning family vacations, organizing group trips, setting budgets, and why everyone wants a luxury trip until it’s time to pay the deposit. In this episode, we talk about: • The stress of planning trips with friends and family • Budget conversations nobody wants to have • The difference between work travel vs real vacations • Why group chats can’t plan trips to save their lives • Dream destinations vs real-life responsibilities Then it’s time for Weird Sex, and this story is truly unforgettable. A shocking medical discovery sparks a conversation about embarrassment, health, and the wild things people do in relationships. We wrap things up with Valentine’s Day vibes, listener advice, and plenty of laughs along the way. Cocktail of the Week 🍸The Emotional…

February looks a little different this year… because we are letting men take the mic. To kick off our February Men’s Series, we are joined by actor, producer, veteran and content creator Mike Bless aka Michael Anthony. This conversation dives deep into dating, emotional healing, masculinity and the realities of modern relationships from a male perspective. We talk about how men process heartbreak, the role of honesty in dating, why communication looks different for men, and the idea that many men heal quietly instead of publicly. Mike opens up about accountability, emotional vulnerability, dating expectations and the importance of being honest about intentions early. Of course, we also get into power dynamics in relationships, monogamy vs honesty, the Atlanta dating scene, men wearing purses (yes, we went there), and why giving space in early dating might actually be healthy. This episode kicks off a full month of real conversations with men about love, growth, healing and relationships — and we are…

Are you getting a good Relationship ROI, or are you just operating in chaos? This week, Kiki and Medinah discuss the importance of intentionality—from your wellness routine to your brunch dates. We’re diving into why separated checks at a bottomless mimosa brunch might actually be the ultimate green flag for clarity. In This Episode: The ladies discuss the transition from "brunch friends" to "real life" support and why Medinah appreciated a guy friend being 100% upfront about financial boundaries. We also get into the "weird sex" story of the week: a romantic shower that turned into an Olympic sport when the curtain rod gave up. Plus, Kiki talks about the struggle of people always "outsourcing" their work to her—from party planning to free makeup sessions. We also cover: Intentional Health: Why your "Relationship ROI" starts with your own rest and wellness. The "Ghost" Eyebrow Incident: Why you should always have a backup makeup artist. Advice: Navigating a friendship that went cold during a season of grief…

What’s Your Superpower? In this episode of CockTales: Dirty Discussions, Kiki and Medinah tap into reflection, purpose, and grown-woman clarity as they unpack the question: what’s your real superpower? From unexpected “God wink” moments to conversations about confidence, imposter syndrome, and walking into rooms knowing you belong, this episode is about recognizing your value without needing permission. The ladies open up about how their strengths show up in work, relationships, and community — and why sometimes it takes a stranger, a producer, or a quiet moment to remind you that you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be. They also talk about commitment in this season of life, learning how to say no without guilt, setting boundaries that actually protect your peace, and why burnout isn’t a badge of honor. In Weird Sex, the conversation turns to curiosity, threesomes, and ethical non-monogamy — breaking down how to talk about fantasies honestly, why curiosity doesn’t equal dissatisfaction, and how consent…

This episode is a continuation of last week’s trip down memory lane, pulling standout moments from different years of the show. Some clips had us crying laughing, some had us side-eyeing ourselves, and others took a surprisingly thoughtful turn — because if we’re gonna reflect, we might as well do it honestly. We talk fashion eras (yes, the Martha Stewart linen phase still stands), dating boundaries, bad decisions we didn’t make, and the difference between being open-minded and being open to everything (spoiler: not the same). We also get into why “sex is a skill,” why everybody with a microphone is not a licensed expert, and why…

It’s time to look back… and immediately ask ourselves, “Wait—who said that?!” In Part 1 of this two-part recap episode, Kiki and Medinah revisit some of the wildest, funniest, most unhinged moments from 2025 (with a few older classics sprinkled in), reacting to past clips in real time and reliving everything from comedian guests and dating rants to weird sex stories, hair debates, pop culture takes, and those signature CockTales side quests that somehow always lead back to food. This episode is pure commentary chaos: – Comedians we loved (and clips that still hold up… mostly) – Dating opinions that aged interestingly – Hair, weaves, man-weaves, and why honesty matters – Weird sex facts that somehow turn into social commentary – Pop culture deep dives (yes, including Game of Thrones) – Rants that start one place and end somewhere completely different Think of this as a highlight reel with commentary, context, and a little “wow… we really said that” energy. And don’t worry — this is just Part 1. There’s plenty…

In this episode, Kiki and Medinah get into one of the hardest parts of adulthood: how to say uncomfortable things with love, tact, and intention. What starts as a casual conversation quickly turns into a deeper discussion about honesty, boundaries, emotional awareness, and why so many people avoid hard conversations altogether. From awkward truths like bad breath and body odor to deeper emotional feedback that can strain friendships and relationships, the ladies unpack why delivery matters just as much as truth. They talk about when honesty is helpful versus harmful, how personal experiences shape our ability to receive feedback, and why avoidance often feels easier than vulnerability. The episode also explores relationship expectations, emotional maturity, and a listener write-in that sparks a real conversation about compatibility, communication, and knowing when something just isn’t aligned. Along the way, Kiki reflects on personal growth, past embarrassment, family dynamics, and learning how to pause…

This week, we’re talking about vibes — the good ones, the delusional ones, and the ones men swear should replace actual communication. After mixing up our refreshing pH Balance Cocktail, we dig into Medina’s viral moment about dating communication and the wild comments from men who think asking, “What podcasts do you listen to?” is somehow “too much.” We also get into:• A listener’s essential-oil disaster (peppermint should NOT go everywhere) • Why communication is not “being nosy” • New men in elevators & unexpected meet-cutes • Cat-mama initiation tips from Black women with cats • Atlanta life updates, Friendsgiving stories & deconstructed pies • What dating looks like when you’re grown, busy, and intentional 🍸 pH BALANCE COCKTAIL 2 oz vodka 1 oz fresh lemon juice 0.75 oz honey syrup or simple syrup Splash of cranberry juice 2–3 cucumber slices Club soda to top Garnish: cucumber wheel or lemon twist How to make it: Muddle the cucumber gently in a shaker.

This week’s drink is the Naughty Nog Martini, a frothy eggnog latte moment that somehow led us straight into one of the wildest public emergency stories ever told on CockTales. 🍸 Naughty Nog (Eggnog Latte Martini) Recipe Ingredients: 1–2 oz vanilla vodka 1 oz eggnog 1.5 oz cold brew or espresso 0.5 oz simple syrup (optional if you like it sweeter) Dash of cinnamon or nutmeg Ice Instructions: Add everything to a shaker with ice.

In this week’s episode, actress, writer, producer and professional on-screen villain Lindsay Diann pulls up for a raw, funny, and deeply honest conversation about being paper pregnant, navigating miscarriage, and stepping into baby joy after loss. She shares what it was really like inducing her missed miscarriage at home, how hormones had her feeling unhinged, and what partners should—and shouldn’t—do when you’re carrying that emotional load alone. We dive into the mental shift from “outside girl” to “intentional woman,” why friendships change when marriages and babies enter the chat, and how to be a better friend when someone in your circle goes through trauma. Lindsay also spills on playing the unhinged Leslie on “The Team”, the joy of being a villain, and what’s next for her production company, LA Elite Productions, including her upcoming films “Girls Night,” “The Perfect Proposal,” and “Curious.” And because every episode needs something in the glass, today’s drink is the Prego-Rita — a citrusy mocktail…
