Asian Glow Up

Welcome to Asian Glow Up — a podcast centered around sharing stories that help Asian Americans explore their identities and connect with their most authentic selves.

Have you ever been referred to as SO [insert zodiac sign, MBTI, enneagram, etc here]?? In this episode, Jojo and April chat about having a podcast and being perceived, if we relate to all these boxes we’re told we fit, and more.

Inspired by those “tag” videos on YouTube circa 2012, we’re going through a list and chatting through all our firsts!

Who else has been victimized by the MySpace Top Friends ranking?? 🥴 In this episode, we discuss the business of friendships and how sometimes it can feel transactional even if you don't mean it to. We talk about our friendship love languages, courting new friends, and more.

In this episode we called in April’s high school bestie, Timmy, to offer a guy’s perspective on icks and ghosting. Timmy shares some recent dating stories as a single man in SoCal that are equal parts hilarious and toxic.

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.

Hi friends! Welcome to our season four finale 🤯Have you ever found yourself thinking about the things you wished you had done but didn't?
