We’re dropping something special in your feed this week- we’re reexploring BEING Trans. BEING Trans was the first series of its type when it premiered in 2022- it’s reality TV for your ears. No scripts, no interviews, just real life as it happens. The show follows four trans people as they go about their lives in Los Angeles. You’ll be there for the highs and the lows, the messy, complicated, beautiful moments that make us who we are.
Trans people don’t often get to tell their own stories, in their own voices, on their own terms. That’s why this show is so important. They’re not here to explain themselves or justify who they are. They’re just letting you in—to listen, to experience, to understand.
We’re about to play you an episode from BEING Trans, featuring Chloe, a trans woman who recently transitioned and is very inexperienced with dating, so much so that she's not even sure about her sexuality but is hoping to change all of that in LA. This is BEING Trans. To hear the full series, search for BEING Trans where you are listening right now, or head to https://lemonadamedia.com/show/being

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.

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.
