therapy struggles, pretty privilege & australian fatphobia - episode 21

in episode 21, we cover a lot - starting with the absolute chaos of trying to find a therapist who actually gets you, followed by a quick astrology tangent (naturally), and a mini merch update.


from there, we dive into pretty privilege, fatphobia in australia, and meg’s ongoing body journey. we also talk about the way boomers and their negativity as well as the many negative aspects of parenting in australia.

it’s part cultural critique, part personal unpacking, and very on-brand for us.


go listen to the fully evolved version of the new 5sos album "everyone's a star" and here's a link to the bonus track "cool dad" (it's a must listen): https://youtu.be/4qg03A3Y81o?si=uVdhsBxMsdYJucuk
