Ep. 445 "Mothers, Sons & the Boundaries You Refuse to Set"

Author: Kiki Said So & Medinah Monroe May 15, 2025 Duration: 1:31:07
In this heartfelt and hilarious episode, Kiki and Medinah are back in their original studio space catching up on life—both the beautiful and the hard parts. Kiki opens up about the recent passing of her grandfather, sharing intimate, funny, and touching memories that remind us how fleeting life can be. Medinah reflects on her trip to Pittsburgh for Mother's Day and the emotional rollercoaster of spending time with her grandmother, who’s battling dementia. The duo also dives into a trending quote from Marlon Wayans about not marrying because of his mom—and unpack the emotional and generational dynamics around “emotional incest,” legacy, and mother-in-law drama. Plus, why some old-school family values still matter, why fried catfish can cure anything (sorta), and a very necessary PSA on checking in on our elders.
