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

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 mix1 oz fresh orange juice1 oz agave syrupClub soda to topOptional: salt/Tajín rim + jalapeño slicesCocktail Add-On:2 oz sparkling wineDirections:Shake lime, orange, and agave over ice.
