“You Say You Deserve Better… So Why Are You Still There?”

“You Say You Deserve Better… So Why Are You Still There?”

Author: Kiki Said So & Medinah Monroe April 30, 2026 Duration: 57:32
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.

Dear Lover Girl :

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.
