#69 - No more people pleasing
Oct 30, 202400:48:43Tap to summarizeDo you find it difficult setting boundaries? How about saying “no” without feeling guilty? Or are you constantly thinking about what others are thinking about you? People pleasers, put your hand up 🙋♀️🙋♀️ From best friendships to romantic relationships, it’s easy to overextend ourselves and sacrifice our own needs in the name of “being a good friend” or “being a fantastic girlfriend.” But are we really doing all that we’re doing to be a “good” person? 👀 In today’s episode, we share when such people pleasing tendencies tend to pop up, how they manifest in our lives, and what we’ve been doing to try to live more authentically true to ourselves, while still being absolute angels, ofc ~ All aboard the sunset cruise ⛵️😉✨ Voice Hugs: 🎀 Voice Hugs Shop: www.voicehugspodcast.com ▶️ Youtube: @voicehugs 💌 Email: hello@voicehugspodcast.com 📷 IG: @voicehugspodcast 🦈 Ro's IG: @rowenatsai 🫧 Viv's IG: @vivianxvan
Transcribe →#68 - How do you feel about growing up & getting older?
Oct 23, 202400:47:32Tap to summarizeWas it just us, or were we the only ones SO ready and excited to grow up 🐣 We couldn’t wait to get our drivers license, make our own money, and taste that sweet independence. Isn’t it interesting how when we’re young, we can’t wait for time to move faster, but as we grow older, we often wish we could slow it down? There is a delicate balance ~ a dance if you will 🩰 ~ between striving for the future and cherishing the present. How do we stay grounded and grateful for the here & now and the age we are at, while still dreaming big? What started as a playful comparison of our younger years to today’s “youth” quickly turned into a classic voice hugs episode with big reflections on time, mindfulness, and appreciation of life. P.S. the way this convo journeys is a true peek into the kind of chats we often have off-camera!

Transcribe →#67 - Societal expectations in your 20s vs 30s: marriage, motherhood, & career
Oct 16, 202400:39:21Tap to summarizeEver found yourself trying to dodge questions like, “when are you getting married?” or “when are you having kids?” at family gatherings? You’re definitely not alone! While we’ve touched on societal expectations before, hitting your 30s brings a whole new level of pressure that we now have to navigate ✌🏼 This week, we dive into how our views on marriage, motherhood, and career have changed since our 20s and how to maneuver through the expectations surrounding these big life pillars ~wooo! A little reminder that personal growth and life decisions aren’t defined by age (ps. age is just a number!!) but by self-awareness and authenticity 🐣🌟🌼 friends, it’s time to redefine what it means to thrive in your 30s—because your journey is uniquely yours! ♡ Mentions: E65: Navigating hard conversations in friendships Amy Liu, Founder of Tower 26 Beauty Voice Hugs: 🎀 Voice Hugs Shop: www.voicehugspodcast.com 💌 Email: hello@voicehugspodcast.com 📷 IG: @voicehugspodcast 🫧 Viv's IG: @vivianxvan 🦈 Ro's IG: @rowenatsai
Transcribe →#66 - I just want to be happy & successful........? 🫠 (solo ep)
Oct 9, 202400:23:16Tap to summarizeHi friends ◡̈ Viv here with an October voicemail. Sharing my recent thoughts on (what feels like) this never ending chase for success & happiness and how it often stems from deeper issues - like tying our self-worth on external validation and possessions 🙃 They say it's not about the destination, it's about the journey ~ but embracing the art of living in the moment can be pretty dang hard sometimes. Regardless, time doesn't stop and what we do have is the here and now. I hope this voice note inspires you to look within and find more moments to truly live in the present ♡ Mentions: Podcast: You Learn This Too Late: This One Idea Might Change Your Entire Life with Mel Robbins & Dr. Shefali Book: A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle Book: Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert M.
