In this episode we called in April’s high school bestie, Timmy, to offer a guy’s perspective on icks and ghosting.

April and Jojo spent a good chunk of this summer traveling around South Korea (April for over three months and Jojo for about three weeks).

We’re all in the middle of what we’re calling a “transition era” — we’re not really where we need to be but we’ve also definitely moved on from who we were before. The three of us moved out of our Brooklyn apartment earlier this year and have not quite found our footing for our next step yet. In this episode, Jojo and April chat through what we’ve been up to, how to find in the joy in these weird transition moments, and share an update on Jackie stepping away from the podcast. This is our first official episode without Jackie as a host — tune in for why and what to expect from us next! **************** Find us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/asianglowuppod Check out our website for collab inquiries: www.asianglowup.com Get in touch: [email protected] Welcome to season five of Asian Glow Up! ✨ We’re April and Jojo, two besties navigating through our late-twenties and all the different versions of ourselves.
