#85 - How to Actually Live by The Four Agreements (and Why It’s So Hard)

Ever been left on read and convinced yourself it's because they secretly hate you? 😅 Yeah, us too. In this episode, we're diving into The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz and pairing it with the psychology concept of "rupture and repair." How do we stop taking things so personally? How do we catch ourselves before we spiral into Assumption Land? And how do we actually repair when things get messy in our friendships and relationships? We share real stories from our own lives — from the friend who ghosted texts for months (turns out it had nothing to do with Viv), to navigating family gossip, to learning the hard way that the goal isn't rupture-free relationships but repair-rich ones. Which agreement do you struggle with the most? 🌱 ☎️ HUGS HOTLINE: Got a juicy question yourself? A sticky situation? Something you just need to voice HUG-it-out?
