2024 HFP Wrapped!

<description>&lt;p&gt;Maddie and Alia are back, and this time they’re letting their guts do the talking—figuratively, of course. They dive headfirst into the wild world of intuition — why your inner voice sometimes goes on vacation, how to invite it back, and why it’s the ultimate decision-making sidekick. From big life choices to the eternal dilemma of “should I order dessert?” (spoiler: the answer is always yes), they unpack how trusting your gut can boost your confidence and self-worth. They share all the laughs, insights, and practical tips you didn’t know you needed. &lt;/p&gt;
