The girls sit down with guest, Leisa Hans just a little over a month after losing her sister to a 4 year long battle with cancer. She touches on her close relationship with her own mother, the guilt she feels when losing patience with her teenager and why you should always say “no, thank you” to the student that’s volunteering to administer your epidural.

About our guest:

Leisa Hans is a Mississippi girl who has called Nashville home for more than 26 years, long enough to have watched the city grow, change, reinvent itself, and still know where some of the good stuff is hiding.

Before real estate, Leisa spent time in the music world, singing and touring with successful recording artists. That life gave her a front-row seat to Nashville’s creative community and introduced her to many of the people who would eventually become friends, clients, collaborators, and a big part of the life she’s built here.

She found her way into real estate in 2014 and started her own team in 2017. Today, she leads Lolly Estates, a boutique Nashville real estate team with a particular connection to the city’s music and creative communities. For Leisa, though, real estate has never just been about houses. It’s about people, how they want to live, and helping them find their place in a city she genuinely loves.

A connector by nature, Leisa gets a ridiculous amount of joy from putting the right people in the same room, whether that means finding someone a home, introducing two people who need to know each other, or sharing the perfect antique shop, restaurant, designer, contractor, or hidden Nashville gem.

She has a deep love for fashion, interiors, design, antiquing, thrifting, grocery shopping, and the art of making a home feel collected rather than decorated. Cooking is one of her absolute favorite things in the world, especially when it ends with the people she loves gathered around the table. Give her an afternoon digging through an antique store, a trip to the grocery store with no particular plan, a beautifully set table, a great outfit, a house with soul, or a long dinner with friends and family, and she’s happy.

At the center of all of it is something Leisa values above almost everything else: authenticity. In homes, in style, in friendships, in business, and in people. She believes the most interesting things are rarely the most perfect ones, and she has built both her career and her life around that idea.

Leisa shares her Nashville home with her longtime partner, Rod, her daughter, Hattie, two dogs, Rosie and Tex, and two cats, Emma and Bailey.

The Momcult is officially on YouTube! Join us as we chatted over zoom with Nicole Lim — Nashville based makeup artist turned director, screenwriter, and producer! Joy is feeling anxious about getting her shit together and Sarah is more at peace with baby #2.

For this first episode of Season Six, the gals discuss the hopes of expanding the Momcult Brand and Nichole shares everything from the pull and pray years, finding out you’re pregnant on Christmas morning, and pumping on a film set 3 weeks postpartum. We also got into the real stuff — what it’s like when your husband tours for weeks at a time and you have to build a shell to survive him being gone, then peel it back off when he walks back through the door. The kids change while he’s away. You change. And somehow you have to find your way back to each other every single time.

Nichole is the creative partner Joy met at the Nashville Film Festival last year, and together they’re developing Joy’s “I’m A Winner” short film into an episodic series.

About our guest:
Nichole Lim is a Nashville-based director, screenwriter, and producer with more than fifteen years in the film industry. She began her career in the makeup department, eventually becoming an IATSE Local 798 Key Makeup Artist and working across studio features, independent films, television, and commercials before moving behind the camera herself.

Her films have screened nationally and internationally, including at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Nashville Film Festival, and Defy Film Festival, earning recognition for both directing and screenwriting.

Nichole loves ensemble casts, female-driven stories, and complicated, imperfect characters. She’s endlessly interested in why people are the way they are, the things they don’t say, and the relationships that shape them, especially when it’s funny, awkward, heartbreaking, or somehow all three. She lives in Nashville with her husband and two kids, where she is usually writing something, making something, or standing in a room trying to remember why she went in there.

We had such a fun time getting to sit down and chat with one of our most seasoned friends from our party days, Meg Perry! She so graciously shares with us everything from her unexpected pregnancy to her traumatic birth story to her divorce and the logistical struggles of coparenting. Sarah ‘s been traveling, Joy needs a new car and Meg is recovering from a case of vertigo. Join us.

About our guest:
Originally from Oklahoma City, Meg Perry is a Nashville-based mom of an 11-year-old son. In 2004, she moved to Nashville with dreams of becoming a singer, gave up on that immediately, spent 15 years teaching Spanish, and somehow ended up in real estate. Things mostly didn’t go as planned — but she loves life and is always trying to figure it out, usually while co-parenting and stressed AF.
