Interview With A Vampire with Nya The Vampire
ListenedThis 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…

Love, Friendship & Other Bad Decisions ft. Mandii B
ListenedIt’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…

Don't Make Me Match Your Energy
ListenedWhat 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.
