This week on the RL Podcast, Liv is flying solo and getting real. With less than two months until her wedding, she’s deep in the details — and the doubts. From vendor chaos to last-minute changes, Liv opens up about the relatable anxieties that creep in during crunch time and how she’s managing the emotional rollercoaster of planning a big day that feels bigger than life.

She’s also reflecting on how wedding planning has changed her perspective — including all the things she swore she’d never do. Spoiler: that includes becoming a dog mom. Tune in as Liv shares the heartwarming story of bringing home her pup Canela and how her once “never” turned into a new favorite identity.

It’s a solo episode packed with heart, humor, and some much-needed honesty about life, love, and letting go of the rules we once wrote for ourselves.

After six weeks away, Liv & Rach are finally reunited—and there's a lot to catch up on. In this heartfelt and honest episode, Rachel opens up about her birth story with baby #2: from trusting the pendulum’s predictions to the intense final moments in the delivery room. She shares the highs and lows—the anticipation, the fear, the unexpected brashness of certain medical staff, and the deep gratitude for the nurses who truly showed up for her.

Together, the girls dive into what it feels like to meet your baby and find out their gender in real time, the power of intuition, and how Rachel’s navigating life as a mom of two under two. If you’re into raw stories, real growth, and a little postpartum chaos—we’re so glad you’re here.

Sandwiched between Liv’s 29th and her fiancé Hayden’s 31st, we’re leaning all in to the joy (and drama) of birthdays. Back on the mic with us is Hayden Mattingly—golf lover, dog dad, and summer birthday enthusiast—who’s here to defend the superiority of warm-weather celebrations.

Together, we unpack childhood birthday memories, the heated debate over singing “Happy Birthday” (are we doing this for fun or torture?), and the ultimate showdown: ice cream cake vs. cookie cake vs. bundt cake vs. cream cheese frosting supremacy. Plus, we dive into why birthdays really matter—especially for kids—and how they shape the way we celebrate ourselves and others.

Let’s make a wish and hit play. 🎂✨
