Hey y’all! We’re BACKKKKKKKKK!!!

You might have noticed that the Loud & Louder duo 💁🏼‍♀️💁🏾‍♀️ have been M.I.A. for some time now. While they definitely deserved a break, the true reason for their hiatus was STRESS...lot’s of it! 😱 Both ladies shared the stress of swiftly diving back into the workforce 🙌🏾🙌🏻 and they also have their own stressors. For Mischa 👰🏾 , the wedding is now less than 3 months away...so there’s that. And Holly is trying to write three comedy shows 🎭 all at the same time! In this episode, Holly and Mischa look back on what stressed them out as youngins’ 👶🏼👶🏾 while taking a closer look at what causes them to stress as grown a** women 👸🏾👸🏼. Take a whiff of your essential oils 🧴 as you listen to Stressed & More Stressed discuss healthy ways to cope with the busyness and challenges of life!

Have you ever wondered what you’re supposed to do if a crocodile is coming after you? Or what about a shark? Can you really drink your own urine if you’re stranded in a desert with no water? These are some of the many questions Holly & Mischa answer on this episode all about surviving nature and all its dangers! Join this adventurous duo as they strategize various survival plans, reminisce about camping (and you already know church camp is in the convo) and daydream about going camping together one.

Whether you’re glued to your phone or you deleted all your apps, social media affects us all. Social media allows news, trends, and entertainment to travel quickly and helps connect people from all over the world like never before! However, studies have shown that significant social media use can also lead to anxiety, depression, and cyberbullying so balance is crucial. Open up your podcast app and join Holly & Mischa as they talk about Myspace, what it was like going viral on TikTok, how much the top Instagram influencers in the world get paid, and so much more!

Due to jobs, kids, TV, the Internet, hobbies, and home and family responsibilities, the average married couple spends just four minutes a day alone focused on just eachother. This is pretty crazy to think about! Marriage can be amazing but like any relationship, it can also be very challenging. Divorce is all too common but Holly & Mischa feel that when it comes to their marriages, divorce isn’t an option (as naive as that probably sounds to some of you all). Aside from the stress of it, divorce can also be expensive and it takes an average of 12 months to finalize! Join Holly & Mischa as they discuss the seven year itch, couples sleeping in separate bedrooms, and so much more exciting marriage and divorce topics!

Although most people know the divorce rate in the U.S. is around 50%, many people can’t help themselves from saying “I do”. There are plenty of reasons why people still practice this age-old tradition; whether it be for love, convenience (whatever that means), tax/financial purposes, or even pregnancy (we’ve all heard about shotgun weddings). Although Holly was a child of divorce, she has been happily married for five and a half years. And Mischa, who is a soon-to-be bride, hopes to follow in her parents’ footsteps since they had a beautiful 30+ year marriage.  By now you should know that Holly and Mischa are both hopeless romantics, but they’re not disillusioned from the realities of marriage and divorce. Join these two brides as they vow to give you an amazing episode about everything from arranged marriage to the infamous TV show “The Bachelorette”. And make sure you come back next week for part II, where they dive more into the realms of divorce.

These days, being politically correct is becoming more important than ever. Some polled groups (like women and democrats) are mostly all for it while others (the Latinx community and men) tend to be a little less concerned with being PC. Regardless, cancel culture is a powerful force that’s attacked celebrities like Chrissy Teigen, Kevin Hart, Mel Gibson, and so many more. Accountability and political correctness are important tools that are often used for good but at what point does someone deserve a second chance or forgiveness? Maybe forgiveness should be based on the severity of the offense or how long ago it happened or how good the public apology letter was. Or maybe there are no second chances when you’re in the limelight. Join Holly and Mischa as they attempt to tackle some tricky topics from movies removed from Disney+ to stand up comedy to controversial words and phrases. Set your judgment aside and open your minds as you listen to this bold, new episode!

It's the most wonderful time of the year! No...it's not Christmas, it's Gemini season!!

In this week's episode, Holly & Mischa breakdown the myths about Geminis (no, they're not all crazy), how they feel about aging and what their birthday plans are for this year. So throw on your party hat, toss some confetti in the air and cheers to this week's birthday episode.
