Paper Pregnant, Real Hormones: Lindsay Diann on Baby Joy, Loss & Ride-or-Die Friendships

Paper Pregnant, Real Hormones: Lindsay Diann on Baby Joy, Loss & Ride-or-Die Friendships

Author: Kiki Said So & Medinah Monroe November 28, 2025 Duration: 1:12:26
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 with a sparkling-wine upgrade for the girls who aren’t pregnant.

🍹 Today’s Cocktail: The Prego-Rita (Mocktail + Cocktail) Base:
  • 2 oz fresh lime juice or alcohol-free margarita mix
  • 1 oz fresh orange juice
  • 1 oz agave syrup
  • Club soda to top
  • Optional: salt/Tajín rim + jalapeño slices
Cocktail Add-On:
  • 2 oz sparkling wine
Directions:
Shake lime, orange, and agave over ice. Pour into a rimmed glass over fresh ice.
Mocktail: top with club soda.
Cocktail: add sparkling wine, then top with club soda.
Garnish with jalapeño for a spicy kick.

Kiki Said So (Kiara Walker)

Grab a drink and get comfortable. CockTales: Dirty Discussions is that unfiltered conversation happening in the corner of your favorite bar, hosted by friends Kiki Said So and Medinah Monroe. With one navigating single life and the other rooted in a long-term relationship, their perspectives clash and complement in the most honest ways. This isn't a clinical advice show; it's a raw, comedic, and deeply personal journal of what modern dating, sex, and relationships actually feel like on the ground, specifically through the lens of life in Atlanta. Each episode feels like you’re pulling up a chair to their table as they dissect their latest encounters, frustrations, and triumphs with zero censorship. The laughter is genuine, the stories are real, and the discussions go to places most are too polite to mention. You’ll find this podcast lives in the messy, human intersection of society, culture, and personal revelation, all served with a hefty side of comedy. Tune in for the kind of candid talk that makes you nod in recognition, laugh out loud, and maybe even rethink your own approach to the complicated sea of love and connection.
