NEW EPISODE OUT EVERY TUESDAY

Dive into the pilot of Hold to Talk—where sisters span geographies and cultures collide.

In this inaugural episode, we introduce ourselves, explain why each of us moved to the USA and Portugal, and set the tone with our trademark blend of sister banter, honesty, and big emotions.

From the initial culture shock and that one moment that had us gasping, to our first-week surprises and the “Would Mum & Dad Approve?” segment—where we laugh about early missteps that only family can forgive—this episode is all about grounding you in who we are and what to expect. T

hink of it as your emotional welcome to our world: heartfelt, raw, and filled with laughs. Whether you're an expat, a daydreamer, or just love honest stories, you're in the right seat. Stick around—we’re just getting started.
