We are SO excited about this week’s episode! The one and only Hilary Duff is touring Australia so we thought it was the PERFECT time to release an ep of one of her classics… Raise Your Voice!!
We’re going to talk about valuing skill and personality over appearance, self-worth and what it means to find your own voice.

Too Cool For You – Camp Rock
This week we’re chatting about one of our FAVOURITE noughties Disney movies, Camp Rock!! We’ll chat about all the iconic moments, songs and those super skinny white jeans, but we’re also going to unpack the movie’s bigger themes around wanting to fit in and what it means to be "cool". We’ll chat about Mitchie’s friendship with Tess, the lie she tells to try and fit in, and how she loses sight of herself along the way.
Taylor’s recommendation: Really obscure, niche playlists on Spotify (linked below)
Gel’s recommendations: Zootopia and The Lorax
