Ep #12: From Mom Life to Adult Star: Lala Tada’s Unexpected Journey

Send us a text

In this episode of “In the Thickk of It”, Amanda Thickk sits down with creator and performer Lala Tada to talk about her non-linear journey into the adult industry and the life she’s built around it. Lala shares how she went from working as a Toby Keith “Whiskey Girl”, doing calendar shoots, and promo modeling in Las Vegas… to creating niche, fetish-style content online, and eventually building a full-time career as an independent creator.

She opens up about stepping away from the industry to get her degree in psychology, becoming a lactation consultant, starting a practice working with moms and babies, burning out in healthcare, and then returning to the adult space on her own terms. Amanda and Lala also dive into life behind the scenes: being in a long-term marriage, navigating ethical non-monogamy / lifestyle spaces, setting clear boundaries, and keeping communication strong while raising a family.

Lala talks about the business side of things—organization, collabs, hiring help, spreadsheets, and how she balances being a mom, wife, and brand without losing herself in the chaos. This episode is a grounded, sex-positive, and human look at what it really takes to build a career in the adult industry while keeping family, mental health, and real life front and center.
