High Five Hot Mess Podcast

IIn this episode of High Five Hot Mess Podcast, Lisa sits down with entrepreneur and author Sherif Said to talk about what really happens when things don’t go your way.

Sometimes you take big swings… and miss. Sometimes you follow the plan… and it still doesn’t work.

So what do you do next?

👉 Continue this conversation in the bonus episode: How Do You Keep Going When Everything Is Working Against You?

This episode is about what happens after the “no.”

From getting professionally humbled to writing two books during a career pause, Sherif shares what it actually takes to keep going when things feel uncertain.

In this episode:
• Taking big swings — and getting rejected
• Why rejection isn’t failure (even when it feels like it)
• The real cost (and surprise) of writing and publishing a book
• How to pivot when life forces you to
• The mindset that keeps you moving forward
• Why the meanest voice is often your own
• Building something from nothing — and doing it again

Listener Homework:
What would you do if you didn’t stop after the “no”? And are you being harder on yourself than anyone else ever could be?

Roll your shoulders back. Unclench your jaw. Drink your water. And go find your High Five.

She manifested a free tire… and that was just the beginning.
A flight delay reversed. A missing bag showed up 500 miles away. Coincidence—or something more?

What if the reason things never seem to work out… is because you’re trying too hard to control how they will?

In this episode of High Five Hot Mess, we share three real-life stories that might completely shift how you see manifestation, coincidence, and control.

• A flat tire that somehow got fixed for free 

• A Trader Joe’s bag that traveled 500 miles… and showed up anyway 

• A flight delay that reversed itself the moment one simple thought changed 

Whether you’re skeptical or fully in, this episode makes manifestation feel real, practical, and honestly kind of wild.

If you’ve ever felt like life should be working—but isn’t—this episode is for you.

HIGH FIVE HOT MESS PODCAST

EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of High Five Hot Mess, Lisa Wilson and Lisa Smith unpack a week that felt cosmically chaotic — thanks to Mercury retrograde colliding with the Year of the Fire Horse. They explore authenticity, emotional overwhelm, and the pressure to perform versions of ourselves that don’t always match who we are behind closed doors.

The Lisas dive into loneliness, energy shifts, and the importance of catching yourself in the moment. They also share their pop culture escapes, updates to “the board,” and a full breakdown of their transformative head spa experience — complete with scalp cameras, water halos, and pod massages.

It’s introspective, hilarious, vulnerable, and deeply human.
