Why Are So Many Women Accepting the Bare Minimum?

Update: 2025-10-17

Description

Kiki Said So and Medinah Monroe are back for part two of their extended catch-up episode — and this time they’re tackling why so many women are accepting the bare minimum in dating, health, and life. From low vitamin D and unaddressed hormone issues to low-effort men and unrealized self-worth, this episode blends comedy, confession, and a few uncomfortable truths. Plus, the “Weird Sex” story of the week will leave you in disbelief (hint: it involves an ER visit and a butt plug).Detailed Show NotesSubtitle: From Low Vitamin D to Low Standards — Time to Raise BothTopics Covered

💆🏽‍♀️ Cupping, Muscle Alignment & Back Pain: Kiki’s wild story about her body going on strike and how therapy (of the physical kind) brought her back.
☀️ Low Vitamin D, Hormone Health & Mental Clarity: Medinah opens up about her emotional lows and discovering that her sadness wasn’t just in her head — it was in her bloodwork.
💉 Redefining “Normal”: Why “normal” test results don’t always mean healthy, and how systemic biases in medicine impact Black women.
💕 Dating Culture & the Bare Minimum Epidemic: The ladies react to a shocking revelation — some women have never been taken on a real date. They discuss how to raise standards, heal from bad patterns, and stop mistaking attention for effort.
💬 Community and Connection: From breast cancer awareness walks to social clubs and single-mom dinners, Kiki and Medinah highlight women-centered spaces that foster real sisterhood.
😳 Weird Sex Story of the Week: An ER visit turns into an unforgettable discovery when a routine scan reveals a little… extra hardware.

✨ Final Thoughts: Taking care of your body, guarding your heart, and demanding better in every area of life — from doctors to dates.
