Introducing: Don't Lie To Me
At its core, the podcast is about an age-gap friendship that feels both unexpected and completely natural. Two women at different points in life, bonded by shared chaos and girlhood in all its forms. Lisa, fifty-something, glamorous, and gloriously unfiltered, has lived through it all and has the stories (and hot takes) to prove it. Lexi, thirty and running her own shoe brand, grew up on reality TV and now navigates real life with equal parts ambition and humor. Together, they cover everything from dating and divorce to beauty maintenance and emotional survival, all through a comedic lens. It’s raw, funny, and a little too honest…the kind of conversation women actually want to have. Listen here and subscribe to Don't Lie To Me on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts!
