We can’t believe 2025 just started. This episode was recorded after the double whammy of the inauguration and the ongoing LA wildfires, and the Aunties are feeling it. In order to survive these four years, they need to claw back some joy. Su shares what she did on a family trip that left everyone in shock. Ku, meanwhile, is neck-deep in the world of mahjong, which means small dollar bets and gold glitter mahjong tiles. For her sanity, she’s not leaving anytime soon.

We are thrilled to introduce Happier with Gretchen Rubin, which recently joined the Lemonada family! Each week, join #1 bestselling author Gretchen Rubin (The Happiness Project and Better Than Before) as she teams up with her sister, Elizabeth Craft, a celebrated TV writer and producer. Together, they offer practical advice, relatable stories, and actionable strategies to help you build a happier, more fulfilling life.

In this episode, they talk about why the familiar advice “use it or lose it” has an additional useful meaning. They also share many imaginative ideas for one-word themes from listeners, as well as some further thoughts on our own one-word themes (“Bounce” and “Door.”) Plus they discuss an easy way to make everyday life more festive.

We are heartbroken and grieving the immense loss caused by the Los Angeles wildfires this past week. And while our Aunties are thankfully safe, we’re not in the clear yet. The real work is what lies in the weeks, months and years ahead. Ku talks about evacuating her home, and what she’s doing to protect her family. Su talks about the community of Altadena, and who we leave behind when we move on too quickly. Plus, how you can help support those impacted by the wildfires.
