#107 - How Do We Live in an Age of Information Overload?

Wednesday, September 9, 2026 • Duration 45:53

How do you make a decision when there are 24 kinds of everything and the algorithm has an opinion on all of it? 🌀 From the grocery store to your For You page, we're more overwhelmed by information than any generation before us. Whether we’re aware of it or not, this is quietly running our moods, our spending, and our sense of self. We get into a study that proves too many options make us worse at choosing, why your feed can hijack your whole week off a single click, and the sneaky reason marketers target new moms and college kids especially 👀 Mentioned: Marie Kondo's tidying book https://amzn.to/46et2nj Leah Wei's 30-day decluttering challenge https://youtu.be/L4AgMDvunO4?si=vUfW58U_HxfZjyoE ☎️ Hugs Hotline is officially open!

#105 - How to Keep Going When Everything Feels Stuck

Wednesday, August 26, 2026 • Duration 51:06

How do you get through a hard season when you can't see the end of it? There's an "unwritten rule" that says every long stretch of hardship is followed by a quantum leap—all it requires is that you don't give up on yourself ❤️ We get honest about what a hard season actually feels like day to day (not the cleaned-up version), why "high-functioning" struggling is so easy to miss, and where the line is between real hope and toxic positivity. Both of us open up about seasons we almost didn't say out loud 🥹 If you're in the in-between right now, we hope it helps you feel a little less alone.

#104 - Why You Stopped Dreaming Big (And How to Start Again)

Wednesday, August 19, 2026 • Duration 44:06

How can we dream bigger when life has trained us to play it small? As kids we wanted everything, unapologetically—then somewhere along the way we learned to want less, to be realistic, to play it safe 🌱 We get into where that voice actually comes from (hint: you didn't come up with it), why it's so easy to see everyone else “playing small,” and the honest, unglamorous story of how Ro finally got un-stuck after years of feeling creatively flat. Consider this your permission slip 💛 That dream you buried because someone told you to "be realistic" is probably still in there. What is it? And what would it take to say it out loud?

#103 - The 100-Year Calendar That Will Change How You Spend Your Time

Wednesday, August 12, 2026 • Duration 46:37

Viv came back from a work conference with a story she hasn't been able to shake: a Japanese company’s chairman hands every new employee a 100-year calendar and says, “Somewhere on this page is the date of your death.” 🕰️🤯👀 A little morbid, sure, but it's really about awareness. Awareness that our time here is finite, and that most of us don't waste it dramatically… we waste it accidentally (hi, 6 hours of screen time 😭). We get into how to actually be present, the tiny three-minute things that make a life feel alive, and why nothing can replace seeing and interacting with people in person. This isn't an episode about death. It's a soft reminder that life is happening right now 💛 If you could see your life on a 100-year calendar, what would you want more of and less of?

#102 - How Do You Know You're Ready to Be a Mom? (Listener Email 💌)

Wednesday, July 29, 2026 • Duration 49:55

How do you actually know when you're ready to have a baby? It's one of the biggest questions of your 20s and 30s, and no one really prepares you for how much of it is both emotional AND logistical. This was a question from our Aussie listener, Nat—thanks for writing in!! 💌 We break motherhood readiness into two parts: the logistical (finances, division of labor, gender roles, and the conversations to have before baby so resentment doesn't quietly build) and the emotional (grieving your freedom and your body, plus the very real "what if I'm a bad mom / what if I pass down my trauma" fears). Here's the thing though, "ready" probably doesn't look like what you think it does. We get into the reframe that finally took the pressure off both of us 💛 What's making you feel ready (or not)? ☎️ HUGS HOTLINE: Got a juicy question yourself? A sticky situation?

#101 - The Truth About Our Podcast After 100 Episodes

Thursday, July 23, 2026 • Duration 41:16

100 episodes in, and we finally sat down and asked ourselves the questions we'd been avoiding: What have we built?? Do we still want to do it? And where do we actually want it to go from here? 🥹 We're getting honest about the parts of Voice Hugs we've never really said out loud—how we've (not) treated it, what we're a little scared of, and what it would take to dream bigger without losing the soft thing that makes it ours. There's also one thing we learned about you that genuinely surprised us 🌍 This one's an open, honest conversation—and we want you in it. What do you want to see next from Voice Hugs? 💛 ✳️ Please share any & all thoughts with us here: https://forms.gle/LKZFAdku3eJbQC8eA ☎️ HUGS HOTLINE: https://www.speakpipe.com/HugsHotline Got a juicy question yourself?

#99 - The Quiet Panic of ‘Falling Behind’

Wednesday, July 1, 2026 • Duration 51:48

Am I behind? Am I stuck? Is everyone else moving forward except me? We received an email from you feeling behind in all aspects of life—from career to relationships. We hear you & we feel you 🥹 In today’s episode, we’re getting into the difference between feeling behind and feeling stuck (they're not the same thing and it matters!), why comparison has existed since literally the dawn of time, what to do when the job market feels impossible, the "should vs. must" framework, and why sometimes the most important season of your life looks like absolutely nothing is happening. If you're in a quiet season and wondering when things will start moving—they already are, even if you can't see it yet. 💛 What area of your life feels like it's in the line of a theme park right now?

#98 - How to Be Single & Love Your Own Company

Wednesday, June 24, 2026 • Duration 52:41

How do I be single? How do I date myself? How do I be alone? We’ve talked a lot about relationships in Season 3, but we have yet to tackle one of the most important things we can do for our current or future relationships: work on the relationship we have with OURSELVES 🫶 Viv made herself stay single through all four seasons of the year because she wanted to know she could handle the holidays alone—and realized she didn't even know what music she liked anymore because she'd been listening to someone else's playlists for years 🌷☀️🍃☃️ Ro spent years single after back-to-back relationships and realized she didn't even know who she was outside of a relationship. Both of us were honestly scared of being alone—like actually terrified of sitting with our own thoughts 🥹❤️‍🩹🫂 If you're single right now and it feels heavy, or if you're in a relationship but realize you don't really know who you are outside of it, we gotchuuu. Your single era isn't a waiting room.

#97 - The Communication Style No One Taught You (But Everyone Needs)

Season 3 · Episode 97

Wednesday, June 10, 2026 • Duration 49:45

Alright, you know how we say "embracing all seasons of life with open arms" every single episode?? Well, we took a personality assessment and it turns out neither of us are on the warm and accepting side of the spectrum 👀 Exposed!! But honestly that's kind of the whole point of this episode xoxo Viv puts on her professional DISC facilitator hat for the pod and walks us through the four communication styles—Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness—so you can figure out which one you are and more importantly, why the people in your life communicate the way they do. We're talking friendships, relationships, work dynamics, and why that one friend who always finishes your sentences isn't being rude, they're just a D 😇 Are you a “D” who needs everyone to get to the point, an “I” who makes everything fun, an “S” who keeps the peace, or a “C” who needs all the information before making a move? Please share and let us know which personality assessment you’d like us to break down next 💛 ☎️ HUGS HOTLINE: Got a juicy question yourself? A sticky situation?
