The holidays are not a Hallmark movie, they’re more like a group text with too many people and not enough boundaries.
In this Thanksgiving episode of The Luminous Life Podcast, Erika and Marcella talk about:
Learning to say no after years of being the “of course, I’ll be there!” friend
Splitting every holiday between two families in one day (and why that stopped fast)
Hosting 25–30 people and tweaking traditions so you don’t hate the day
Dressing the table instead of dressing yourself and why that’s enough this year
Feeling the pressure to look perfect while you’re sweating in the kitchen
Giving yourself permission to make Thanksgiving what you need this season
Hit play if you’re feeling the weight of expectations and want a new script for the holidays, one that’s honest, grounded, and a little silly… like choosing pumpkin pie for the texture and still calling apple “the best pie.”

The "We Don’t Care" Club + Skincare Reactions & Lash Drama
This week, Erika and Marcella react to the internet’s hottest takes on perimenopause, skincare routines, and DIY lash extensions. From Bethenny Frankel’s SPF steps to @JustBeingMelani’s viral “We Don’t Care” club, we’re laughing, learning, and (gently) judging.
We’re talking:
✨ Why SPF always goes on last
✨ What to use instead of Vitamin C if you're sensitive
✨ Lash extensions vs. DIY clusters (spoiler: we have strong feelings)
✨ The glorious freedom of not caring about the back of your head (or your bikini line)
Whether you're in your “IDGAF” era or still figuring it out, this episode will leave you feeling seen, validated, and glowing with real beauty wisdom.
Glow Guide Takeaways:
✔ Join the “We Don’t Care” Club (seriously, it’s liberating)
✔ SPF is your final step! No exceptions
✔ Please don’t do DIY lash extensions... we beg you
✔ Change your skincare with the season, not just the trends
