She Sed Podcast

Tire Repairs Leads to Friendship

The new episode of She Sed starts with Amy accidentally taking a power nap before recording and turns into a conversation about the surprising ways we find energy, connection, and calm in the middle of everyday life. Lisa shares how short naps helped her get through chemotherapy and why she’s suddenly interested in the growing trend of chair fitness classes. Amy tells the story of a trip to the tire shop that resulted in an unexpected friendship with a woman she had never met before. What started as a simple conversation turned into an hour-and-a-half discussion, exchanged phone numbers, and a reminder that sometimes the best connections happen when you least expect them. The conversation then shifts to the growing problem of large parties at Airbnb rentals, the impact they have on neighborhoods, and the challenges facing law enforcement today. We also dive into sleep struggles, stress-reduction techniques, TMJ relief, and some of the wellness hacks we’ve recently discovered. Finally, we talk about Remarkably Bright Creatures, the movie adaptation starring Sally Field, and why both of us loved the story. As always, it’s a mix of real life, wellness, friendship, and the unexpected conversations that make She Sed what it is.

Lake Girls, Ocean Girls & Life Lessons

This episode of She Sed starts with Lisa sharing what she learned from a neurosurgeon about brain health, including the one thing he says matters most for dementia prevention: getting seven to eight hours of quality sleep. That leads into sleep scores, magnesium, vibration plates, and all the little things we’re trying to actually rest better. Lisa also shares a scary AirTag moment that had her worried one had been placed on her car, while Amy brings a high-protein meal idea she found online and a new foot cream she discovered on Amazon. From there, we debate lake life versus ocean life, tell stories about jellyfish and stingray stings, and somehow end up talking about dry brushing, estradiol cream, and whether Trader Joe’s flowers are secretly magic. Lisa opens up about speaking at a Mother’s Day tea on grief and how emotional it was, only to later learn that her message about her mom being her champion truly landed with someone who needed to hear it. We also get into one of our favorite soapboxes: how disrespectful people can be with trash. Amy shares what she teaches her kids about never leaving trash behind, and Lisa explains why event planners are responsible for cleaning up after events, not the city. The episode wraps with an update on A Seat at the Table, the magic of people connecting around dinner, and Lisa realizing her instinct might be good for introducing men and women since she had five couples meet at her house and ended up getting married.

Nips Up and Real Talk

This episode of She Sed starts light and quickly turns into something deeper. Recorded after a storm Amy didn’t even hear (thanks to dryer balls in the dryer), we kick things off laughing about Magnolia Soap, scenting “everything,” and the moments that make us laugh way harder than they should.  Lisa shares about her first Seat at the Table of Chapter 2 and how, without fail, the women around her table always seem to have unexpected connections. She also opens up about preparing to speak on grief, on what would have been her mom’s 91st birthday and the weight that comes with that. From there, the conversation shifts into a more serious discussion about how people treat each other today. From a situation in a restaurant involving an elderly man asking for consideration for his immune-compromised wife, to the way people respond online, we talk about how quick society is to judge, react, and hide behind screens. That leads into a broader conversation about our culture’s obsession with capturing everything on camera< even in dangerous situations. As always, we find our way back to lighter moments, from a new wrinkle treatment Amy’s eyeing to her latest phrase, “nips up,” and the kind of humor that keeps us grounded even when the conversations get real.

Sun Gazing, Ticks & Totally Random Facts

Episode 52 of She Sed starts with Amy blaming a sleepless night and headache on the weather, which quickly turns into a deeper conversation about sun gazing, grounding, and the ways we’re trying to reset our energy and sleep. Lisa shares how getting back into sun gazing and using red light goggles has helped her circadian rhythm, while Amy talks about grounding and the effects of being outside in the sun. From there, the conversation takes its usual unexpected turns, like whether you can actually eat hostas, the medicinal uses of plantain weeds, and why dandelions might not be weeds after all. Things get even more interesting as we discuss mysterious tick drops affecting farmland, using local honey to help with dog allergies, and the surprising connection between leg workouts and brain health. Of course, it wouldn’t be She Sed without a few completely random moments, including a hilarious conversation about colostrum, the claim that cashews are related to poison ivy, and why putting an ice cube on your foot might help a migraine. We wrap things up with Lisa reflecting on how different dating is in your 60s and sharing a few memorable experiences along the way. It’s wellness, weird facts, and real-life conversation; exactly what you’d expect from us.

When Life Felt Safe & Simple

Episode 51 of She Sed takes a nostalgic turn as Lisa and Amy look back on how different life felt growing up. Amy shares stories of going to tennis camp as a child and staying with strangers, riding around on a snow cone truck, and traveling freely without fear. Lisa reflects on riding her bike all day with her dog in a basket, picking flowers for her mom, and how safe and simple life once felt compared to today. From there, the conversation shifts into modern life, including a brilliant marketing campaign by Alix Earle that caught Lisa’s attention and how much impact it had to have made and cost.  They also talk about aging, with Amy highlighting an 80-year-old influencer she admires and joking about what aging might look like for her down the road. As always, the conversation turns to health and wellness covering new collagen for bone density, magnesium for sleep, sun gazing, and Lisa’s latest peptide addition, KPV. Amy shares a surprising experience with magnesium knocking her out for hours, and the two discuss everything from sleep struggles to the calming effects of music on animals. The episode wraps with a nod to their growing audience, including men and a promise to start bringing in a few “guy hacks” along the way. It’s a mix of nostalgia, wellness, laughter, and real-life conversation that feels both familiar and meaningful.
