  • 22: Davis Roe: Fit Checks, TikTok Fame, and Mother-Daughter Love

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this extra special episode of Joy of the Hang, co-hosts Sharon and Lauren welcome their very first mother-daughter guest — TikTok star and Gen Z queen, Davis Roe!

     Davis has built a major following online, but today she’s hanging IRL to talk about her rise on TikTok, what it’s like living life in the public eye, and (of course) what it’s really like being Lauren’s daughter.  We dive into how Davis built her viral TikTok presence, the unexpected magic of their beloved fit check videos, and why she proudly gives her mom credit for helping launch her social media success. It’s less “Moooom, stop!” and more of a full-on love fest (with great outfits and even better vibes).

    Join us for a fun, funny, and occasionally mildly chaotic conversation that proves you can go viral and still get grounded (well… almost). It’s millennial moms meets Gen Z vibes — and no one’s safe.

  • 21: Bonus Episode Alert! Live from the UK with Lauren!

    Send us Fan Mail

    This week on Joy of the Hang, we’re crossing the pond for a remote (and slightly chaotic) episode featuring Lauren live from the UK! With pint in hand and jet lag in full swing, she shares tales of dancing on tables in a London pub, embracing the full British experience, and reflecting on the wild ride to 2,500 downloads in just four months.

    We’re raising a glass to all of you who’ve been hanging with us since day one, and of course, we couldn’t let the moment pass without asking Lauren the big question: Who is her dream hang? Spoiler alert — it’s a good one.

    Whether you’re here for the laughs, the stories, or just to hang, this episode’s got all the vibes. Cheers to 2,500 more! 🥂
