High Five Hot Mess Podcast: Daily Summaries Delivered
by High Five Hot Mess Podcast
High Five Hot Mess brings the group chat to the mic: funny, honest, occasionally inappropriate conversations for Gen X and midlife women. We're Lisa Wilson and Lisa Smith, longtime friends and 30-year veterans of the "It's fine. We're fine." mantra. Every week, we ask the questions women are already asking themselves and each other. Marriage, female friendships, family, menopause, aging, therapy, pop culture, identity, and whatever fresh nonsense life throws our way. Nothing is off-limits, and we definitely don't have all the answers. Sometimes it's just the two of us trying to figure things out. Sometimes we invite someone who actually knows what they're talking about. Either way, there are no lectures, no judgment, and absolutely no pretending we've got it all together. Come for the laughs. Stay for the reminder that you're not alone. New episodes every Thursday. 💛

Is It OK to Lie?
Have you ever told someone you were fine when you weren't? Congratulations, you're a liar. Welcome to the club. So... is it OK to lie?Lisa Wilson swears she doesn't lie, she lobbies. Lisa Smith thought she never lied, until she really thought about it. We play two truths and a lie (one involves checking the car for bombs every morning, and it's true), dig into why people lie to the people they love most, and get honest about white lies, the "I'm fine" lie, and the one lie that cost Lisa W a friendship.YOUR TURN: What's your favorite little white lie?Tell us on Instagram @highfivehotmess or in the YouTube comments.CHAPTERS00:00 Is It OK to Lie?04:28 Two Truths and a Lie10:43 Why Women and Men Lie13:05 The "I'm Fine" Lie18:09 The Lie That Cost a Friendship24:42 When a Lie Becomes DangerousWe're Lisa and Lisa, two friends having funny, occasionally inappropriate, and unexpectedly honest conversations about the things that make life interesting.

I Lost Myself in My Marriage and Didn't Even Notice
“For years, I never ordered what I actually wanted.”Losing yourself in a relationship rarely happens all at once. Sometimes it happens one small compromise at a time, until one day you realize you don't even know what you want anymore.Lisa Wilson and Lisa Smith welcome guest Shea Daspin for an honest, funny, and sometimes emotional conversation about people‑pleasing, losing your identity in marriage, and rebuilding after divorce.We're talking about watching whatever your husband wanted on TV, giving up Britney Spears tickets, refusing to change your pink hair, and the chair he never let you buy.When does compromise become sacrifice? And how do you find yourself again after spending years making everyone else happy?Because sometimes getting your life back starts with buying the damn chair. 💛MEET OUR GUEST: SHEA DASPINShea Daspin is a fashion influencer who joins us to share her experience of rebuilding her life after divorce, rediscovering what makes her happy, and learning to make decisions for herself.From Britney Spears tickets to pink hair and the chair she finally bought, Shea reminds us that reclaiming your identity sometimes starts with the smallest decisions.CONNECT WITH SHEAInstagram: @shea.daspinhttps://www.instagram.com/shea.daspin/Website:https://www.sheadaspin.comYOUR TURNWhat's your "bite of his"?What's something you gave up in a relationship without even realizing it?Come tell us on Instagram @highfivehotmess.

Plus: would you want to know the day you'll die, the 7-Eleven psychic Lisa W knocked over with a car door, and our tarot predictions for November.
