  • Can you hear us? Are the radio waves breaking? Because we have almost too much goodness for one episode. We revisit one of our favorite episodes joined by the blonde versions of Kulap and SuChin –– June Diane Raphael and Jessica St. Clair. The dynamic foursome talk about their dream vacation alter egos, their dream vacations, and how to bring both into their everyday, not at all vacation, lives. Hint: start bedtime around approx. 4:00pm.

  • We revisit the very first episode of Add to Cart, when Kulap shares her newest book purchase, her recent Christmas splurge (dogs are involved), and why she’s giving up on her home modeling career. Meanwhile, SuChin is investigating how to improve her hand strength and reveals the one beauty product she actually believes isn’t a scam. The two delve into why creature comforts feel so important right now and how to best address the Amazon in the room.

  • This week we revisit an episode that made it out of the groupchat. Besties of the pod Casey Wilson and Danielle Schneider of Bitch Sesh join the Aunties to catch up. First, SuChin regales them with tales of laser treatments in South Korea, which means they’ll be adding to cart some plane tickets soon. Then, Danielle shares an inspiring book and Casey is swayed by a 24-year-old beauty influencer. We’re all about the yin and yang here.

  • Carters, we are so excited to share with you an episode from Model Minority Moms, co-hosted by a beloved previous guest Susan Lieu (The Manicurist's Daughter), Jeanette Park and Kate Wang, three millenial Asian American moms. In this episode, Kulap talks about making of her documentary Origin Story. Talking about your life story with three other women who just understand you so well because they are fellow parents, fellow women, fellow immigrants... it just lets you get to another level of your story, real quick. Model Minority Moms started as a lengthy text-chain between a couple of working moms who were having babies during the pandemic and it morphed into a podcast that gets into the honest and deep conversations about parenthood, careers, relationships, growing up as an immigrant and everything in between. After you listen to Kulap's interview, check out more episodes of Model Minority Moms on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

  • Love is in the air…but also, not really. It’s still really rough out there, which is why the Aunties are continuing to strategize for joy. Ku is dreaming of monthly Sunday dinners that are easy and delicious. Su is reading, watching and listening to stories that are fascinating and hopeful. And nothing screams joy like a little kid jamming out to music. The Aunties talk about their kids' awesome (if slightly confusing) music tastes.
