Life's Messes with the Hess's

Episode 18 gets real about something nobody really prepares you for as an adult... trying to figure out the balance between isolating and actually having a social life. Why do we hit a point where staying home sounds better than out out? Is it age, burnout, anxiety... or just peace?Basically.. are we healing, aging, avoiding, or just becoming little raccoons that don't leave the house? Tune in and decide with us.

Life be lifin'... and we're just here trying to keep up.This week we get real about how it feels like the only time we see old friends anymore are at visitations and funeral and why that hits way harder as we get older. We talk about how life gets busy, relationships fade, and those unexpected moments that make you stop and think, damn... when did everything change?Betty shares her exciting new job news and of course, we spiral a little into that feeling of finally having something good, but still low key waiting for the next shoe to drop. Why are we like that?It's real, it's a little heavy, but still us...laughing through the chaos and figuring it out as we go.

We're taking it way back...and yeah, we were a messThis episode is full of teenage chaos, partying, bad decisions, and the kind of stories that make you question how we even made it to adulthood.We're laughing, cringing, and reliving the moments that probably should've stayed in the past...but here we are.If you had a wild phase, this one's gonna hit home, lol.

Alright...we're going there.In this episode, we're talking about sex...the real, awkward, funny, and honest side of it. From dirty talk to total silence, we're breaking down what we're comfortable with, what makes us cringe, and what actually works or doesn't in the bedroom.No filters. No pretending. Just two cousins keeping it real about things people think about, but don't always say out loud.

In this episode, there is no script or real topic. It's just two cousins laughing, talking about all the chaos going on and having fun with it.If you like lack of structure, humor, and a little bit of mystery, lol, than this one is for you.

Pop culture is unhinged right now and we've got thoughts. In this episode we're diving headfirst into celebrity chaos, internet drama, and the moments that have everyone talking.

This one hit different.This wee, we're getting real about Betty's heart attack...what happened, what it felt like, and the moments that changed everything.

Seriously.

This episode is exactly what the title promises. Unhinged. No agenda, no structure, just two cousins letting the conversation run completely off the rails.From random stories to questionable life choices, we bounce between topics like a pinball machine and somehow still make it make sense...kind of. Expect laughs, side tangents, and a few moments where we probably should've stayed quiet, but didn't. Basically, if you've ever had one of those conversation that starts normal and ends with "how the hell did we get here?"...this episode is that.Welcome to the chaos

This week on Life's Messes with the Hess's we're stepping into the weird, the spooky, and the slightly unexplainable. From paranormal experiences to eerie moments we still can't explain to tarot cards, energy shifts, and those gut feelings that refuse to be ignored, we're diving into the world of vibes, intuition, and the possibility that there might be more going on around us than we realize.Are ghosts real or are our brains just dramatic? Is tarot a tool for insight or just really good storytelling? How many of those "something feels off" moments have actually turned out to be right?We're sharing our own experiences, questioning the universe, and probably laughing at ourselves along the way. Whether you're a full believer, a total skeptic, or somewhere in the middle, this episode might make you think twice about those strange little moments that don't quite make sense.So grab your crystals, shuffle the tarot deck, or just sit back and enjoy the chaos. This one gets a little spooky.

In this episode, we get real about past relationships that shaped us, stretched us, and sometimes straight broke us. We talk about the chaos we confused for comfort, the trauma we carried longer than we should have, and the quiet anxiety that follows you into something new.Healing is not cute. It is messy. It is humbling. It forces you to look at your patterns, your triggers, and the stories you keep telling yourself about what you deserve.We unpack what it actually looks like to survive unhealthy love, do the hard internal work, and move toward relationships that feel safe instead of stressful. If you have ever loved someone who was not good for you, stayed too long, or wondered why peace feels unfamiliar, this one is for you.Love is beautiful with the right person, but it will test you. Healing, is where the real strength shows up.

This week we tackle the greatest lie ever sold to children: grow up, get a job, and life makes sense. Instead you get passwords you can't remember, taxes you don't understand, emails that could've been one sentence, and a to do list that somehow breeds overnight.We vent about work expectations versus reality, the mental gymnastics of taxes, and the everyday nonsense that turns functioning adults into exhausted raccoons digging through responsibility bins.If you've ever paid a bill and immediately needed a nap, this episode is for you

In this episode, we get honest about the parts no one puts on the cute Instagram reels. Postpartum struggles. Raising adult children. The guilt we carry. The boundaries we should have set sooner. The regrets that sneak up at 2 am.We talk about loving our kids fiercely while also learning how to let go. We unpack what happens when their mistakes feel like our failures, and we say the quiet parts out loud about parenting that most people are afraid to admit.This one is raw. It is reflective. It is a little chaotic. If you have ever questioned yourself as a parent, you will feel seenParenting might be beautiful, but it is also brutalJust know you are not alone in it.

In this episode, we dive headfirst into habits. The ones we refuse to give up, the ones we know we should probably break, and the ones that somehow run our entire lives without asking permission. From bad routines to coping mechanisms to the everyday chaos we call normal, this conversation goes exactly where you would expect and also absolutely nowhere at the same time.We talk about life, survival mode, self awareness we sometimes ignore, and all the bullshit that comes with trying to be better while still being very human. No expert advice. No perfect answers. Just real talk, messy thoughts, and chaotic honesty.If you have habits you defend with your whole chest and others you keep saying you will work on next wee, this one is for you.

This week we get real about being kidnapped by our own parents, generational trauma dumping, and boundaries being optional in our childhoods.We unpack how our parents' trauma became our personality traits, how we accidently trauma dump too, and why healing feels rude and uncomfortable. Our lives were weird like that, we casually had Nobel Peace Prize winners at our house for Thanksgiving. You know, normal family stuff, lol. It is funny. It is dark, It is oddly heartwarming. Welcome to the mess

In this episode, we talk about what friendship means to us, how we show up for our friends, who has stuck around and who we had to ditch.Whether you're a friends friend or you only show up when needed, this episode is your you.

We're exhausted. LIke, emotionally. In this episode, we talk about burnout, setting boundaries (badly), and why "just relax" makes us want to scream. If you're running on caffeine, guilt, and vibes, welcome, you're out people

You're in the right place
