Show Notes
On this episode of The Dash, the ladies sit with the part of divorce no one puts on the paperwork. The day your partner becomes a stranger. The accusations of things you would never do. The character assassination that makes you want to get dirty, even when you know you shouldn’t. And the quiet, practical theory they keep coming back to: the oxygen mask. You cannot hand your children a calm version of you if you have not put yours on first.
So they talk about how to get through this day. How you cry in the car and then walk into the pickup line like you are fine. The steps that get you from furious to functional when figuring it out alone is not working. Elizabeth walks through what she did, day after day, in a divorce the whole world was watching — how she protected her kids without disappearing herself. How you keep the court in one room and parenting in the other, so your ex can still be the hero to the children, even while you are swallowing your anger. Why you never speak poorly of them in front of your kids. Why divorce breeds shame and embarrassment even when you did nothing to earn it. And the friends who choose a side, or quietly leave, in a split you did not see coming.

Marissa Hermer kicks off this episode of The Dash with embarrassment from butt-dialing her rabbi — then gets honest about converting so her children know their religious background.

Have you ever been left off a friend’s invite list and felt it in your stomach?

Marissa Hermer needs champagne, a tablescape, and a theme. Period. On this episode of The Dash, Elizabeth Chambers and Marissa swap the kind of best-friend energy that only works if Marissa has cell service.
In this episode of The Dash, Marissa and Elizabeth get brutally honest about everything they’re doing (and sometimes barely doing) to look and feel their best—from peptides, supplements, hair masks, lasers, Botox, and facelifts to lash lifts, Aquaphor, Korean face masks, and the elusive secret to effortless hair. They compare their very different approaches to beauty, share the routines and products they actually swear by, reveal their most questionable beauty decisions, and debate just how high-maintenance you need to be to look low-maintenance. Plus, there’s a 90-second makeup tutorial, hair hacks, towel time, rollerblading disasters, and plenty of oversharing along the way. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Elizabeth and Marissa are back with a very eventful update on dating, divorce, motherhood, and trying to keep it all together. Elizabeth gives the full story on her date with “Bowtie,” the very tall, very hot, very mature man she originally met on OfferUp… including their first date, an unexpected makeout, why she’s taking things slow, and why dating a divorced dad in your 40s might be the ultimate green flag. Plus, the girls debate age gaps, “boyfriend sickness,” dating apps vs. resale apps, and whether every man inevitably becomes content for the group chat.
