  • FEELS LIKE A WARM HUG

    Dear Rowena and Vivian, thank you for making my days brighter and helping me feel less lonely while navigating my confusing 20s šŸ«¶šŸ» I can relate to so many thoughts and emotions you have touched on, it’s crazy how universal some experiences are, even though we feel like we’re alone in those moments. Your podcast feels like a warm hug from an older sister (never had one but pretty sure this might be it - comforting and understanding) 😌

  • Always a warm voice hug ā™„ļø

    Ro and Viv’s warmth and reflective discussions are absolutely Voice Hugs! Episodes are filled with introspection which offer moments to pause and consider my own growth as a person. I love to make myself a comforting drink, listen to a few episodes, and check in with myself. So grateful for you both and this podcast!

  • My favorite!

    My favorite podcast to listen to! The talks are raw, real, and introspective which I love. I love casting the episodes on Spotify onto my TV and watching their videos in the background while I do my own thing. They’re like the sisters I never had and who have great life advice! Definitely recommend listening!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#99 - The Quiet Panic of ā€˜Falling Behind’
Q: What do you do when you feel stuck and what are ways you would reframe when you're in that mindset?
First, understand what specifically feels stuck, then gather information about the area (career, industry trends, etc.), and finally apply that knowledge to decide a concrete next step. Focus on strengthening your own must rather than shoulds, explore small experiments (like relocation or changes in routine), and build confidence through skill development and exposure to new information.
#93 - Quarter Life Crisis? Let's Talk About It | Hugs Hotline (ep. 3) ā˜Žļø
Q: Shawnee asks how to approach finding a job that feels meaningful without sacrificing financial stability, and how to balance passion with practicality.
The hosts recommend discovering a role that suits one's skills and energy levels, consider part-time or side work that aligns with creative goals, and stress that healing and growth can be non-linear. They highlight the value of a supportive network and possibly keeping a stable job while building toward creative independence.
#93 - Quarter Life Crisis? Let's Talk About It | Hugs Hotline (ep. 3) ā˜Žļø
Q: Shawnee asks for tips on breaking into content creation efficiently and how to navigate career direction while balancing passion with financial needs.
Vivian and Rowena acknowledge the challenge, share personal timelines, stress the importance of building a sustainable base (like a steady job) while pursuing side projects, and advise finding a clear audience or 'thesis' to guide content. They emphasize quality over mere speed, recommend developing a personal style, and suggest repurposing long-form content into shorter clips while maintaining heart and authenticity.
#78 - Relationship Hot Takes, Old Flames & Dating Chaos šŸ’Œ Hugs Hotline
Q: A guy you're about to go on a date with is following a lot of baddie influencers. Are you judging?
Yes, many have judged this based on personal experiences and feelings of insecurity related to influencers and body image, implying it raises red flags.
#78 - Relationship Hot Takes, Old Flames & Dating Chaos šŸ’Œ Hugs Hotline
Q: What are your thoughts about marriage as a milestone for your 20s, 30s and relationships in general?
Marriage can be viewed as a milestone, but meaningful growth in a relationship can occur without the need for engagement or marriage; what's important is how couples handle conflicts and grow together instead.
