Show Notes
Welcome to the DA group chat where everyone is late to the pop culture moments but somehow still screaming with excitement!! 🩵✨
We’re catching up on the MOST important, VERY unserious business from the week: Sabrina Carpenter and Madonna, Hailey Bieber’s new Rhode beauty products, Zendaya and Tom Holland’s very private wedding, Shrek 5, Kyle Sandilands’ huge radio settlement, and a new mermaid movie with major Dance Academy universe energy.
And of course, because we apparently cannot help ourselves, there’s more Off Campus spiralling, Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders chat, Shrinking, Taylor Swift’s Toy Story 5 song, and a little audition chaos thrown in for good measure 🎭
Grab something cosy, come catch up with us, and tell us which pop culture rabbit hole you’re currently living in. Love you SO much dAlings!!! 🩵

Dena’s away, so Alicia’s long-term Disney friend Nicole Gulasekharam is stepping in—and her audition stories deserve their own headlines 😂🎬
We’re talking girl code, dating your bestie’s ex, toddler meltdowns and the parenting win Dena has waited nearly four years for. Plus, we’re handing ourselves a weekly report card—and introducing Big Sister Pen Pal with a listener dilemma that brings out some very personal confessions.
We start with a heartfelt conversation about raising daughters in a world that still asks girls to protect themselves.
Have we left it too late for another baby? dAlings, this one gets personal 🩵 Between Bali belly before Bali and birthday chaos, we’re talking about trying for another baby—and the feelings we don’t always want to admit.
