Hi!! 

Coming up on today’s show, don’t change that channel because we are talking all things Hairspray!! In amongst the joy, laughter and average singing, we unpack the overt body shaming of Tracy and her mum, how we can use food to lean into celebration and of course the incredible music and cast!!

Coming up on today’s show, we’re talking all things Angus Thongs and Perfect Snogging!! We unpack the fear of looking fat, the impact of the physical attractiveness test, and changing ourselves to make us more attractive to boys. Obviously we couldn’t do an episode on this movie without chatting about the olive costume and the snogging scale so be prepared for lots of giggles!

Hello!

Coming up on today’s show- one of our favourite childhood shows, Lizzie McGuire!!! We zoom in on an episode called ‘Inner Beauty’, which explores themes of disordered eating and body image. If either of these topics are close to you, please listen with care. For support you can reach out to The Butterfly Foundation on 1800 33 4673 or Lifeline on 13 11 14.

In this episode we talk about perfectionism as a risk factor for disordered eating, hiding eating behaviours, how to support a friend struggling with disordered eating, and disordered eating as a coping strategy. There was also no way we were going to close off without a sugary chat about The Lizzie McGuire movie, so be prepared for lots of joy and nostalgia! 

Gel recommended writing an ins and outs list for 2026.

Taylor recommended Rental Family.
