    #74 - Dealing with insecurities and social anxiety

    Insecurities ~ yep, we all have them (ugh, right?) In this episode, we share moments that have made us feel insecure—from the fear of farting in public to stressing over what to wear to a party, and even the networking and small talk that make you want to hide. Whether it’s the fear of rejection or the constant pressure to fit in, we’re all navigating these uncomfortable, and sometimes overwhelming feelings that come with being human. But here’s the thing, what’s the worst that could happen? (it’s usually not as bad as we think!) We share ways you can you trick yourself into feeling more confident and why opening up to friends about your insecurities can be so helpful, because more likely than not… you’re probably not alone in feeling this way. At the end of the day, we’re all human, hardwired to crave love, acceptance, and connection. So if we can travel through life with that in mind, it can give us more peace in knowing that we're all trying our best and we're in this together friends! Let us overcome one insecurity at a time 💛 Mentions: E2 Let’s talk about our insecurities E23 Feeling insecure? You’re not alone.

    #73 - Lacking motivation *again*

    Lacking motivation? This time of year got us feeling some type of way… Whether we’re beating ourselves over all the things we didn’t do this year, or brimming with hope for a fresh start that’s right around the corner, you’re not alone in feeling either or BOTH feelings at the same time. In this episode, we explore the complex relationship between mental health and motivation, hitting out limits, and how our our relationship with productivity has shifted over the years. Whether you're going through a temporary dip or a longer season of feeling unmotivated, remember that it's okay to not be okay, we’re all in this together, and that better days are ahead 🌤️🥹 🫶 We’re sending you all the biggest, warmest, cuddliest hug ~ p.s. we lost our mic's audio after recording so we apologize for the wonky audio quality on this episode!

    #69 - No more people pleasing

    Do 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

    #68 - How do you feel about growing up & getting older?

    Was 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!
