このコンテンツについて

We’re Jess and Lisa, two best friends in our 40s living in Maryland. This podcast is about life, motherhood, leadership, and everything in between. We’re navigating the “messy middle” of personal and professional life and have learned that having someone who just gets it makes the journey less hard.


Each week, we’ll share something real from our own lives and unpack it together in real time. Our hope is that as we process and reflect, it’ll inspire and help you do the same—wherever you are.

  • Lisa is a Social Crockpot
    2025/08/10

    Send us a text

    Jess and Lisa explore the changing nature of social connections and unpack their contrasting approaches to building relationships.

    • Beginning with a discussion about the decline of casual social gatherings like potlucks
    • Reflecting on how the pandemic accelerated our disconnection from casual adult socializing
    • Examining how parents now prioritize child-centered activities over adult gatherings
    • Lisa shares her "breadcrumb" approach to relationships—revealing herself slowly and strategically
    • Contrasting Lisa's measured approach with Jess's preference for immediate deep connection
    • Discussing how Lisa's approach evolved from trying to be perfect for everyone to authentic but measured
    • Exploring their different "rings" of friendship—Jess with fewer close connections, Lisa with a wider middle circle
    • Reflecting on the transient nature of relationships and how people move between different levels of closeness
    • Appreciating the complementary differences in their friendship styles

    We'd love to hear how you approach relationships! Are you a breadcrumb-dropper or do you dive deep right away? Connect with us on social media and share your thoughts.

  • Music as Memory and Finding Your Happy Place
    2025/08/03

    Send us a text

    Music creates powerful emotional connections and serves as a unique memory trigger, sometimes functioning as a sixth sense for those who experience it as a full-body phenomenon.

    • Music can transport us back to specific memories and moments in our lives
    • For some people, music is physically overwhelming and makes multitasking impossible
    • Using music strategically to alter moods or validate feelings is common
    • Sound creates beautiful visual patterns when visualized through mediums like sand
    • Children can develop specific music preferences linked to emotional states from an early age
    • Having a personal "happy place" provides mental refuge during difficult times
    • Happy places aren't always physical locations but can be emotional states
    • Incorporating elements of your happy place into everyday life creates ongoing comfort
    • Coffee plays a significant role in many people's comfort rituals
    • Finding moments of peace and control helps manage daily stress
