Feeling the aroha • In a landmark moment for cinema, Disney’s The Lion King has been translated and rerecorded in te reo Māori. Stacey gives it a glowing review.

Super girl • This is the story of a woman who, while in her mid-30s and enjoying a successful corporate career, leaves her job and her house and moves back home with her mum and dad. She puts all of her life savings into a start-up she believes will revolutionise how we shop for groceries.

My brother ELON and me • She’s the sister of the world’s richest man, the billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX. But Tosca Musk is an entrepreneur in her own right, with a female friendly streaming platform. She tells Helena De Bertodano how they both overcame their difficult childhood.

The HOMEGIRL OF GORE • Kiwi singer-songwriter Jenny Mitchell talks to Victoria Spence about her country music roots, singing her achy breaky heart out, and her growing popularity.

No end in sight • Endometriosis affects an estimated 10 to 11.7 percent of people assigned female at birth.

WHAT’S ON

Humming ’round the mountain • New Plymouth isn’t the only hotspot in Taranaki for eats, the arts, and outdoor adventures – in fact, the entire region is buzzing with happening happenings.

Over THE Hedge • Romantic outdoors meets suburban utopia. Tweeds and checks and knitted tops as soft as a baby chick. The warmth of a woollen skirt. The one dress that turns chores into dreamy scenes from a high country station. Baggy trousers. The sheer joy of a yellow raincoat glazed with hose water beside a green hedge.

PRODUCTS that REALLY CARE • Not sure how to decipher all those “clean beauty” buzzwords flying around lately? Amy Houlihan has you covered.
