Ugh. Are You The Affirmation Friend?

Subscribe to Mamamia

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.
