Growing Up With A Summer Birthday (Ft. Hayden Mattingly)

Sandwiched between Liv’s 29th and her fiancé Hayden’s 31st, we’re leaning all in to the joy (and drama) of birthdays. Back on the mic with us is Hayden Mattingly—golf lover, dog dad, and summer birthday enthusiast—who’s here to defend the superiority of warm-weather celebrations.

Together, we unpack childhood birthday memories, the heated debate over singing “Happy Birthday” (are we doing this for fun or torture?), and the ultimate showdown: ice cream cake vs. cookie cake vs. bundt cake vs. cream cheese frosting supremacy. Plus, we dive into why birthdays really matter—especially for kids—and how they shape the way we celebrate ourselves and others.

Let’s make a wish and hit play. 🎂✨
