Micropettiness & A Generation Of Try-Hards

Today on the pod, we're tackling everything from your wardrobe's existential crisis to if trying hard is ever enough (and yes, there's a connection... sort of).

Mia, Jessie and Holly unpack:

• The Gen Z fashion police strike again. Another beloved item has been sent to the cells. But we have a defence prepared and we're taking this to the Supreme (Fashion) Court 👩‍⚖️

• A+ For Effort? A viral essay has everyone asking if we should reward trying hard over actually succeeding. Spoiler: It's complicated, and we're all feeling very seen right now.

Plus, our recommendations that will enhance your life (massive claim but we're sticking by it).

🌟 Mia's streaming: A show about... bitches? Trust us, it's not what you think.

🌟 Holly's eating: The perfect meal to enjoy while wearing your weighted vest (as one does).

🌟 Jessie's watching: A tear-jerker that requires a tissue warning (and possibly a support group).

And we wrap with a Best & Worst so juicy that Mia had to make an announcement about it. Enjoy!
