Sasa sits down with board-certified dermatologist Dr. Joyce Park, who was making derm content before TikTok existed. She shares her unlikely path from eye surgery to journalism to dermatology, why brands started partnering with derms during COVID, and why haircare is where skincare was 20 years ago.

Fertility is a Team Sport— WeNatal Founders Explain the Sperm Crisis
Two women, four "geriatric" pregnancies, back-to-back losses — and the fix that finally worked wasn't about her eggs. It was about him. This week on GlowJob Podcast, Vita and Roni, co-founders of WeNatal, break down the 72-day sperm turnaround, why 50% of miscarriages trace back to male fertility, and the "trimester zero" protocol that got them both pregnant naturally in their 40s. Plus: the unregulated supplement industry, plastics and sperm decline, and why fiber might be the most underrated fertility hack.

We talk bleached brows as a signature, why orange blush is criminally underrated on Asian skin, and the SPF-40-means-it's-made-for-America theory. Plus Julia, Sasa, and Steffie talk beauty shopping in Shanghai and Seoul, hunting down beauty stores that don't exist stateside, and packing an empty suitcase just for the haul.

What's Actually Worth It: Skincare, Lasers, Manis & More (No BS Spending Guide)
Julia and Sasa break down what's actually worth your money — skincare, facials, lasers, manicures, mattresses, groceries — and what's just good marketing. This is your permission slip to spend AND your intervention to stop wasting cash. They cover the two rules for when skincare spending goes wrong, why they'll never recommend an expensive cleanser, the professional treatments worth the splurge (chemical peels, microneedling, lasers) vs. the one that isn't (hydrafacials), an unpopular take on manicures, and the wellness purchases with the highest ROI — from mattresses to where they actually…

Colt Paulsen joins Sasa solo (Julia's out sick!) to break down why self-tanner streaks, goes orange, or fades fast — and it's never the product's fault.

This week we're breaking down three of the biggest brand comebacks happening right now — how gap went from worst rebrand ever to the met gala, why coach intentionally shrank itself to survive, and the marc jacobs beauty relaunch that sold out in days. nostalgia is part of it, but the real story is in the financial decisions, creative direction, and cultural timing that separate a true comeback from a one-off tiktok moment.

Devil Wears Prada 2: Hollywood's Expensive Nostalgia Trap (+ MUA Kelly Zhang)
This week on GlowJob, Sasa and Julia break down the long-awaited Devil Wears Prada sequel with the deep dive it deserves. They set the scene by unpacking the seismic cultural shifts of the past 20 years — the collapse of print media, the rise of fast fashion, how TikTok killed seasonality, and why Miranda Priestly's kind of power simply doesn't exist anymore. The cerulean sweater speech made sense in 2006. Does the sequel make sense in 2026? They dig into everything: the character arcs (or lack thereof), the surprisingly softened Miranda Priestly, the Emily-as-Lauren-Bezos subplot, the AAPI…

The $795 Mirror, A Private Jet & the Family Funding it All
A bachelorette party on a private Boeing 737. Sixteen influencers. A villa in St. Barts. And a beauty brand with under 3,000 Instagram followers footing the bill.

In this episode of GlowJob, Julia & Sasa pull back the curtain on Swan Beauty, the $795 AI mirror founded by Colby Mitchell — and the powerful family office quietly backing it. We also get into what a family office actually is versus venture capital (and why those rules are completely…

The Oxford Study Is a Lie —Two Asian Women Explain Why
If you've ever been on the receiving end of an "Oxford study 👀" comment on TikTok (or been the one to drop it), this episode is for you. This week on GlowJob, Sasa and Julia are breaking down one of the most misused, misunderstood, and weaponized pieces of internet "evidence" in AAPI culture: the so-called Oxford Study. Spoiler: it's a media analysis paper about TV commercials. It has nothing to do with Asian women's psychology — and the original author is horrified by how it's being used.

We break down the chaos: from Anyma's last-minute set cancellation due to 40 mph desert winds, to the wave of influencers posting sob stories about canceled brand trips (and why the whole thing might be fake).
