Sara Tan is the Global Beauty Director for Refinery29 and Co-Host of the Glossangeles Podcast. Her life, like so many parents, is one of stark contrasts. One day she’s hanging out with Hailey Beiber at a Rhode popup, or talking shop and parenthood with Rihanna, fully glammed up, and the next she’s knee deep in breakfast and lunch prep while wrangling kiddos after her husband leaves for work and before reinforcements arrive. Professionally, Sara has known since she was a kid what she wanted in a

Alright alright alright. Today we hang out with an OG Austin native who has somehow married the old Austin (hippy whimsy a la Dazed and Confused) with the new Austin (creative hub for a new crop of national businesses and entrepeneurs). Because that's kind of who she is - taking the best of the old and bringing it to the new, while staying steadfast to a set of deeply ingrained core values from her own childhood.

Mutha Life ·

2025/03/12

Chris Mann, accomplished singer and comedian, got extremely real in the closet. We cover how Wichita is low key the perfect place to grow up if you want to be a professional singer one day. How we aren’t sure what the Drake-Kendrick beef is actually about. How, it turns out, midlife crises make a lot of sense if you look at all that is foisted upon people in their 40s and 50s - aging and ailing parents, raising kids (and how some kids need more and you just can’t plan for that up front), and often

2025/03/05

This week we get to hang out with DIY and style expert, founder and mutha, Orly Shani. The way this woman is so fiercely independent AND ALSO deeply rooted in her family is something worth listening to. Her whole life credo seems to be: take stuff that’s there and make it your own. Look at what’s in front of you and find the opportunity - even if what’s in front of you is a DUI at a young age, figure out how to turn that low point into a learning experience that will be foundational to the rest of

2025/02/26

This week we get to hang in the closet with Vanessa Dew, co-founder of Health-Ade kombucha. There are so many reasons to love this conversation. Chief among them is how self aware Vanessa is. This is a woman who has danced the delicate tango between her own family’s expectations of her growing up as a first-born daughter of immigrants (she’s 1.5 generation American, according to her), and the dogged pursuit of what will lead to a happy meaningful life. Building and selling the company she co-founded

When you were a kid, who did you go to for advice on things that were sensitive? That required you to be vulnerable? Where you required a real education on bodies and relationships? Certainly not your parents, YOUR CAMP COUNSELOR. So, in keeping with that tradition, this week I sit down with my summer camp counselor from when I was a young teen. These days she’s a GURU on being a stay at home parent and someone I really look up to for wisdom on the big important things that matter when it comes to

Today we have Betsy Riley, co-Founder of Swehl in the closet. And goddamn I love being surprised by a conversation. Betsy shares so much in this chat - from career perspectives (if people aren’t going to lift you up to greatness, go build your own thing and lift up others instead), to life perspectives (every day isn’t guaranteed, so make sure you’re doing what you really love and that you’re spending time with those that mean the most to you), to perspectives on community (it’s times that feel most
