  • In a World Focused on Pro-Aging, Why is "Old" a Trigger Word?

    In a World Focused on Pro-Aging, Why is "Old" a Trigger Word?
    Jan 14 2025

    It’s been a heartbreaking week in Los Angeles as our community grapples with the devastation of the fires. Kirbie and Sara share ways you can lend a hand and support those who’ve been displaced during this difficult time. For a little lightheartedness, Kirbie reveals her current obsession: Mufasa — but not the movie (she still hasn’t seen it) — the viral soundtrack making waves on TikTok. Are you hooked too? Finally, we break down Allure’s latest buzzworthy piece spotlighting “old ladies.” Is the term offensive? Should it be? Let’s unpack the conversation and what it says about beauty, aging, and language.

  • Tower 28's Amy Liu on Caring for Sensitive Skin (Rewind Episode)

    Tower 28's Amy Liu on Caring for Sensitive Skin (Rewind Episode)
    Jan 11 2025

    As you may know, Los Angeles has been ravaged by fires in the Pacific Palisades, Malibu, Altadena and Pasadena. There is devastation taking place in this beautiful city we love. Instead of our regularly planned guest episode, we wanted to highlight our conversation with Amy Liu of Tower 28 who came on the pod in 2021. Amy has been a longtime friend of ours, as we all launched are brands within a few months of each other. She is a loving, generous and special woman.


    Amy's home in the Palisades is one of the only left standing, and despite being displaced, she has been putting herself to work to help those in need. This is the person Amy is. We're hoping by resharing our conversation that new and longtime listeners alike will learn what an absolute gem Amy and discover what makes her brand so special.
