The White Lotus mirror effect

Hello! On today’s show: The White Lotus is turning a mirror onto female friendships. And you could say it’s not the most flattering reflection.

But first - we gotta talk about Meghan Markle’s new lifestyle show… On today’s episode, Zara recommended ‘There’s Only One Aimee Lou Wood’ in The Cut.
