And, is it narcissistic to post a photo of yourself? A conversation about why some of us feel weird about posting selfies now.

It’s the first day of a brand-new year, and that means it's time for our Word Of The Year episode!

New Year's resolutions are notorious for falling over, so instead, every year we choose a word to set an intention for the 12 months ahead of us. The word of the year is about creating a focus or filter for every moment and decision, big or small, that is to come. 

Holly, Jessie and Mia look back at their words from last year before revealing the new word that will shape the mood of 2024.

The End Bits: 

• Listen to our latest episode: The Must See Movies We Loved In 2023
• Listen to our 2023 Word Of the Year episode: Word Of The Year 2023 & A Special Announcement

The End Bits: 

• Listen to our latest episode: Why Didn’t Jason Bring Jeans For Jason?

Revenge at last for Prince Harry who’s just won his infamous phone hacking lawsuit. But he didn’t do it for the money, so why is it so important that he won? We discuss.

Plus, 2023 is the year of the girl: we’ve got girl math, girl dinner, hot girl walks and movies like Barbie sending us all into a frenzy. But why are we all referring ourselves as “girlies” instead of just women?

And, how much time have you spent “getting ready” this year, when the men in your life have just rolled out of bed? Probably too much.

• Make a difference by donating to RizeUp 
• Read: Harry and Meghan's year of revenge is coming to a righteous end.
• Read: The exact moment you can no longer eat #girldinner or do #girlmaths.
