Are your female friendships being sabotaged by affirmation culture? We discuss how it could be affecting your relationships and why you might need a ‘rage friend' in your life.

Plus, from make-up, to a brilliant read and a Jessie-endorsed true crime doco, we’ve got recommendations for you.

And, we wrap up the week with our best and worst, which include a pet’s death, a break-in, and a dodgy passport photo.
