Voice Hugs – Details, episodes & analysis

Okay so we've been keeping a secret 👀 One of us is pregnant… and we're finally sharing everything!!! From the moment she found out, to the feelings nobody warned her about, to the dog who somehow knew before she did 🐶 We talk about wanting to be a mom since literally six years old, getting pregnant ten days after the wedding (!?!!), and then the unexpected part: sitting on the bathroom floor in shock instead of jumping for joy. Beyond grateful to be able to share another incredible milestone with you all 🥹 Let’s all strive to be gardeners in our loved ones lives!! 🌱 ☎️ HUGS HOTLINE: Got a juicy question yourself?

Have you ever given a friend advice, watched them nod along, and then do the exact opposite? Or caught yourself nagging your partner about the same thing for the hundredth time knowing full well it's not going to work? Yeah, us too 😅 This episode we're breaking down The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins — a deceptively simple framework that's honestly changed how we think about every relationship in our lives. Viv & Ro share how they used to get so worked up trying to protect their friends from unworthy boys (spoiler: they went back every time). As well as wanting their partners to have a morning routine so badly… until they realized the person who actually needed to change was themselves. Where in your life do you need to "let them" right now? And what's the "let me" that follows? Tell us everything 💛 ☎️ HUGS HOTLINE: Got a juicy question yourself? A sticky situation?

Ring ringggg Hi, hello! We’re back with another Hugs Hotline 📟✨ This time, we’re diving deep into the mystical and often confusing land of ~aDuLt FrIeNdShIpS~ “How do you have meaningful conversations with friends? And how do you build real trust over time?” —Long time listener, M 🌸 From the art of listening to asking thoughtful questions, we talk about how we’ve personally navigated making friends and deepening connection over the years. Whether you're naturally shy, struggle with vulnerability, or just want to feel more connected to the people you care about, this one's for you. It's honest, warm, and full of stories about what it really takes to show up as yourself—nervous, imperfect, and real. ☎️ HUGS HOTLINE: Got a juicy question yourself? A sticky situation?
