Marcella’s back from Greece and glowing with stories from Santorini, wisdom from white wine-fueled beach reflections, and a new appreciation for nude beaches and lip gloss confidence. Erika’s sharing her own local third-place revelation: a perfect backyard party and a once-in-a-decade reunion with a soul friend. Together, they explore how we reset, reconnect, and reflect when life gives us the rare gift of stillness.

This episode is a sun kissed love letter to travel, friendship, and the power of real connection. Also: Brad Pitt’s voice makes a surprise cameo in Marcella’s earbuds...and Erika has thoughts (and a syllabus).

Glow Guide this week:
→ Find your third place. Not work, not home. The place where you linger, laugh, connect, and feel human again.
→ And if the world feels heavy, maybe share some harmless celeb gossip with your bestie. Just for fun.
