About 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. 💛

   What Do You Believe That You Can’t Explain?

   What Do You Believe That You Can’t Explain? Have you ever had a gut feeling that something terrible was about to happen—and then it did? Or seen something so strange that you're still trying to explain it years later? This week on High Five Hot Mess, Lisa Wilson and Lisa Smith are talking about women's intuition, premonitions, unexplained experiences and all the things we believe even when we can't prove them. We're getting into bad-news premonitions, mysterious visions, doppelgangers, guardian ancestors, synchronicities, energy healing and the possibility that one of us might actually be a witch. Yes, Etsy is involved. From a gargoyle appearing beside the bed to a fiery chariot crossing the sky, these are the stories that make you call your best friend and ask, "Am I losing my mind, or has something like this happened to you?" Whether you trust your gut, believe in the supernatural or need proof before you'll believe anything, come hang out with us. We're not experts. We're two friends with some very strange stories and a lot of questions. YOUR TURN: Have you ever had a premonition, experienced something you couldn't explain or trusted your intuition when everyone else thought you were crazy? Tell us your story!

   Your House Is Haunted. What Are You Going to Do About It?

   You finally moved into your fresh-start house after your divorce. Then your five-year-old looks at the foot of the bed and says, "Mom, there are three men standing there." Lisa S had to move out of her first house fast because something in it did not want her there. The blessing she asked for ended with "maybe you should get therapy." Lisa W is a ghost hunter who carries salt in her car and was raised to believe she's the boss of the ghosts. Together they tackle the question they completely disagree on: your house is haunted. What are you going to do about it? Real haunted house stories, signs a house is haunted, whether burning sage actually works, what to do if someone pulls out a Ouija board, and why your stress might make a haunting worse. Whether you're a believer, a skeptic, or you just sleep with the lights on, you're not alone. 00:00 What Would You Do If Your House Was Haunted? 00:32 My Dad Taught Me I'm the Boss of the Ghosts 04:10 Someone Pulls Out a Ouija Board.
