Inner Circle

We absolutely love music (so much that we can't go a day without it) and in this week's episode, we talk all about it. Being an artist's OG fan, our dream of attending an Ariana Grande concert, making up our own lyrics to songs we don't fully understand *cough* *cough* SZA *cough*, and super smart lyricism in songs like Cupid's Chokehold / Breakfast In America by Gym Class Heroes and Cardigan by Taylor Swift. We also explore different songwriting concepts such as story-telling and breaking the fourth wall as well as our current song obsessions and artist discoveries like John Mayer, Kacey Musgraves, and Hamilton. Finally, we briefly discuss lyrics that are a bit of a headscratcher and that we choose not to utter, for example, "cooking in the kitchen" and "cater 2 u"... um chile anyways...

Raise your hand if you own anything from Shein, Fashion Nova, Princess Polly, H&M, Forever 21, Zara.... yea, so basically everyone?? Well, we do too, and in this week's episode, we discuss the negative effects that these companies and so many others have on society. From bigger brands stealing from small POC designers and child labor in third world countries, all the way to the trend of thrifting and wasting makeup products. Plus, some tips on how to make the most of your wardrobe and stop supporting fast fashion. Enjoy!

We all went through that phase of wanting to be older than we were just so we could have the freedom to do whatever we wanted like eat ice cream for breakfast or not have to do our chores, but over time we realized that growing up/being an adult is totally overrated. Looking back on our past, we three are actually thankful for that awkward transition stage between middle school and high school, but apparently, that's not even a thing anymore. So here's what we want to know: Where did all the tweens go? Why is Justice disappearing? And why do 13-year-olds look like they're 19? The tween phase is slowly disappearing as more kids are being influenced by what they see on social media. In this episode, we address the current fading of childhood, peaking in elementary school, empowerment vs. sexualizing, and relationships at a young age. Plus, the struggles of being older and the responsibility that comes with it. Even Dr. Meredith Grey once said, "Responsibility. It really does suck. Unfortunately, once you get past the age of braces and training bras, responsibility doesn't go away. It can't be avoided. Either someone makes us face it or we suffer the consequences." 

Ah, yes... remote learning... where do we even begin? This year was rough, especially for all our juniors out there. But we finally made it :) and this week we are reflecting on all the ways covid affected our school experience. From sleeping through classes and AP exams, deteriorated social skills, and pinpointing the exact moment we gave up, we talk about it ALL in this episode. Plus, how we are coping and plan to recover this #hotgirlsummer. Enjoy!!

In this age of technology, being discovered is becoming a more common way of rising to stardom. In this week's episode, we share our thoughts on having talent at such a young age with Oliva Rodrigo's debut album, SOUR, and how it's actually pretty sweet, the cliche story of being a theatrical child to then becoming a famous singer-songwriter/actress, and parents being a barrier to their child's success. Plus, how Billie Eilish made history and how she and Olivia O'Brien were found through SoundCloud. We also talk about what it's like having the help of mentors to guide these wunderkinds through the world of show business.

So we've all heard about body positivity but in this episode, we introduce the seldom-talked-about philosophy of body neutrality. Which one we should value more, body trends, the unnecessary hate on Sienna Gomez, and Victoria's Secret's definition of "plus-size." Make sure to check out the links below to support Palestine!!

We three are the absolute queens of being indecisive. If it's choosing classes, picking majors, or sticking with one aesthetic, we can never seem to be 100% sure about anything. In this episode, we also discuss our feeling of delayed appreciation for things such as songs, gifts, and trendy clothes. Towards the end, we imagine what our ideal future of fame would be like and the concept of being an "untouchable demigod" of a celebrity. We finish the episode off with an ambiguous fortune from Dalya :) Enjoy!!

In this week's episode, we pick up where we left off in our chaotic conversation about ... well ... dying. The possibility of our pets being our beneficiaries, the theory behind the comedy television series The Good Place, inexplicable guilt manifested in self-hatred, and where we go when we die. Plus, a random discussion about cancel culture and our deep-seated aversion to STEM :D  Enjoy!!

For part 1 of this profound conversation, we have an exchange of views on conforming to societal norms. Settling down, our definition of success, lessons learned from Breakfast at Tiffany's, the line between protective and possessive, looking out for yourself, and feeling lost. Stick around to hear us go deeper into the conversation where we discuss growing old, the afterlife, and which one of us would end up in The Bad Place...

I’m sure all of you have heard about the whole Nessa and Jxdn situation… but if you have been living under a rock for the past couple of weeks, we briefly summarize the juicy TikTok drama and what happened in this “love square (???)” We also segue into the struggles of constantly being in the public eye, having stalkers …  *cough* Kendall and Kylie Jenner *cough* … our mild case of an identity crisis, wanting to become successful without a significant other, and so much more. This is a good one guys… enjoy!
