We are thrilled to introduce Happier with Gretchen Rubin, which recently joined the Lemonada family! Each week, join #1 bestselling author Gretchen Rubin (The Happiness Project and Better Than Before) as she teams up with her sister, Elizabeth Craft, a celebrated TV writer and producer. Together, they offer practical advice, relatable stories, and actionable strategies to help you build a happier, more fulfilling life. 

In this episode, they talk about why the familiar advice “use it or lose it” has an additional useful meaning. They also share many imaginative ideas for one-word themes from listeners, as well as some further thoughts on our own one-word themes (“Bounce” and “Door.”) Plus they discuss an easy way to make everyday life more festive.

We are heartbroken and grieving the immense loss caused by the Los Angeles wildfires this past week. And while our Aunties are thankfully safe, we’re not in the clear yet. The real work is what lies in the weeks, months and years ahead. Ku talks about evacuating her home, and what she’s doing to protect her family. Su talks about the community of  Altadena, and who we leave behind when we move on too quickly. Plus, how you can help support those impacted by the wildfires.

No need for FOMO because if you weren't at our live show and somehow missed it the first time, we're airing this gem once again! Ku and Su take the stage at Neuehouse Hollywood for their first ever live show, with head-turning outfits, hilarious guests and, of course, free stuff! Friends, family and fans cheer on our intrepid hosts as they cover everything from Kulap’s fierce “playsuit,” to SuChin’s husband’s dating history. Then shopping superhero Jessica Gao breaks down why Costco is her go-to spot for toilet paper, booze, sweatsuits and even fine jewelry. And finally, Jason Mantzoukas returns for the next episode of “Zouk’s Cubes” — and let’s just say there’s a lot to unpack.

This is the moment to maximize Tree Time, which is why we're sharing our inaugural episode from 2023. The extreme-to-some Christmas decorating plans of Kulap and friends are moving from the groupchat to the roundtable. June Diane Raphael, Jessica St. Clair and Casey Wilson are here to talk about how they’re maximizing cozy Christmas time. SuChin, meanwhile, is hanging on by an email thread but ready to learn. Everyone has a tree (or three, or eight) to talk about, and they’re keeping score. Regardless, it’s a celebration of #TreeTime in all of its many beautiful forms.
