About this listen

Welcome back to One in a Millennial! This week’s episode, Glow & Behold, dives into the madness of the Looks Economy, where skincare shelves look like chemistry labs, gyms feel like fashion runways, and even our pets are out here living better lifestyles than us.


From 10-step skincare routines and HydraFacials to beard oils, protein powders, baby serums, and dog spas — it feels like everyone and everything has to glow. But underneath all that glow lies the guilt, the pressure, and a whole lot of capitalism disguised as “self-care.”


Maybe the real glow-up isn’t in 10 serums or protein shakes. Maybe it’s in sipping garam chai in yesterday’s t-shirt and being okay with how we look.


So tune in, laugh along, and tell me: do you think we’ve taken this “glow” obsession too far, or is it just part of being millennial in 2025?
