What happens when the life you've been told to want no longer fits?  In this episode of You're Gonna Want To Hear This, Marie Claire Editor Georgie McCourt sits down with broadcaster, author and Better Homes and Gardens presenter Myf Warhurst to discuss her powerful new book Middle Rage and the realities of life, love and womanhood in midlife.  Myf opens up about her experience with perimenopause, the anxiety that left her struggling to go on air, and the late ADHD diagnosis that helped explain so much about her life. Together, Georgie and Myf unpack why so many women feel exhausted, overwhelmed and angry in midlife, and why that anger might actually be one of our greatest strengths.  They discuss the cultural conditioning that teaches women they need to be chosen, how romantic films like The Notebook shaped our expectations of love, and why more women are choosing to live independently, downsize after divorce and create lives on their own terms in the new series, Better at Home, hosted by Myf.   The conversation also explores the gender data gap in medicine, why women's health has been overlooked for generations, the rise of AI-driven ageism in the workplace, and the importance of trusting your intuition, backing yourself and staying visible as you get older.  Funny, thoughtful and deeply honest, this is a conversation about reclaiming your voice, trusting yourself and embracing the freedom that can come with age.  This episode covers:  Myf Warhurst's new book Middle Rage  Perimenopause and menopause symptoms women aren't warned about  Anxiety, burnout and the hidden impact of hormonal changes  Receiving an ADHD diagnosis later in life  Why ADHD often goes undiagnosed in women  Women's anger, people-pleasing and setting boundaries  The cultural pressure to be chosen in relationships  Dating, divorce and finding happiness on your own terms  The reality behind romantic movie tropes  Creating a fulfilling life without following traditional expectations  Better Homes and Gardens and the rise of women designing lives their own way  The gender gap in medical research  Why women's health outcomes are often worse than men's  AI-driven ageism and women in the workplace  Trusting your intuition and backing yourself in midlife  Why knowledge is power for women  Middle Rage is on sale now!

CONTENT WARNING: This episode discusses child loss. Please know help is available contact Lifeline on 13 11 14 for 24/7 crisis support, or Beyond Blue on 1300 224 636.  Danielle Lilley and Melissa Carlton know what it means to have a life changed in an instant. Both are mothers who lost children suddenly, both were left searching for answers, and both eventually discovered that a rare genetic condition called PPA2 was at the centre of their stories.  Marie Claire Australia Editor Georgie McCourt brings Danielle and Melissa together for an incredibly honest conversation about grief, motherhood, unanswered questions and what happens when the answers come too late.  Danielle lost her son Sunny at nine months old after what appeared to be a mild illness. Years later, when her daughter Airlie became critically ill and suffered a cardiac arrest, doctors finally discovered that Danielle and her husband were carriers of PPA2 and that both children had inherited the condition. The diagnosis finally explained what had happened to Sunny, but it came only after another child had been put at risk.   Melissa lost her daughter Abi at nine years old after a sudden cardiac arrest. Then, on Christmas Day 2025, her five-year-old daughter Molly also died after becoming critically ill. It was only after Molly's death, following months of testing, that Melissa and her husband Tom discovered they were carriers of PPA2 and that Abi may have had the same condition.  They speak candidly about anger, particularly the anger that came with discovering that genetic testing might have provided answers earlier. For Danielle, that realisation became the catalyst for The Coroners Project and her advocacy for better genetic testing, referral pathways and support following unexplained childhood deaths. Melissa is also campaigning for greater access to genetic testing after discovering that her family could potentially have known about PPA2 earlier.  Melissa also opens up about sharing grief publicly, the support she found online after Abi's death, and the devastating criticism and abuse she experienced after Molly's death. She talks about why she eventually spoke about the online bullying and how she and Tom created Hello Angel, an app designed to support grieving families and help people maintain a continuing bond with someone they have lost.  And beneath all of it is a conversation about their children who Sunny, Airlie, Abi and Molly were, the memories they have left behind, and what it means to continue being a parent after losing a child.  Read more on Marie Claire: Two Mothers Lived Every Parent’s Worst Nightmare – Twice.

What does it really mean to be a woman today? Is progress making life easier, or are we just facing a new set of challenges? This episode discusses domestic violence and other strong themes. Please know support is available, contact Lifeline on 13 11 14 for 24/7 crisis support, 1800RESPECT on 1800 737 732 for domestic, family and sexual violence support. In this special October Issue episode of You're Gonna Want To Hear This, Marie Claire Editor Georgie McCourt and Deputy Editor Mel Gaudron dive into the stories shaping this month's issue, from the realities of growing up as a girl in the age of social media to the men working to end violence against women. They unpack the pressures facing girls today, including online safety, body image, digital culture and the growing influence of misogynistic online communities. They also discuss the mental load women carry at home, asking what would happen if mums simply stopped doing everything, and whether "doing less" might actually be the key to a happier family. The episode also explores the booming longevity industry and why ageing has become the latest frontier for wellness marketing. Georgie and Mel question whether biohacking, supplements and expensive treatments are really helping us live longer, or simply giving us another impossible standard to chase. Plus, they discuss one of the most astonishing true stories featured in the issue: an adopted woman who reunites with her biological father, only for the relationship to take an unexpected turn. And they celebrate cover star Teresa Palmer, who opens up about motherhood, ambition, self-belief and landing the biggest role of her career at 40. This episode covers: Marie Claire Australia's October Issue and Teresa Palmer cover story What it's really like to grow up as a girl today Social media, online safety, consent and the challenges facing teenage girls Advice from inspiring women on confidence, ambition and backing yourself The mental load and what happens when mums stop managing everyone's lives Gender roles, household labour and modern relationships Male advocates working to end violence against women Why men need to be part of the conversation on gendered violence The longevity boom, biohacking and the business of wellness Whether expensive anti-ageing treatments actually deliver results The extraordinary adoption reunion that led to a five-year relationship Genetic sexual attraction and the complexities of identity and belonging Teresa Palmer on motherhood, career reinvention and her new role in God of War "Vagina maxxing", intimate wellness trends and the growing commercialisation of women's bodies Why women's health should be based on evidence, not perfectionism   Further reading from the October Issue: International Day Of The Girl: Three Young Women On What Needs To Change For Australian Girls By Harriet Sim Can Women Really Stop Doing Invisible Labour?

Money can be a source of stress, confusion and avoidance, but what if being good with money wasn’t just about building wealth but an act of self-care?  This week, Marie Claire Australia Editor Georgie McCourt is joined by financial adviser, author and SugarMamma founder Canna Campbell to talk about money mindset, financial freedom and how taking control of your finances can be a powerful way of taking care of yourself.  Canna shares practical advice on setting specific financial goals, creating a simple budget, spending intentionally, and building additional income streams. They also discuss superannuation, investing, income protection, the gender retirement gap and FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early).  Plus, how childhood beliefs can shape our relationship with money, why social media can distort our perception of wealth, how couples can have better conversations about finances, why decluttering can reveal more about our spending habits, and the one financial task Canna says you should stop putting off.   If you've ever felt overwhelmed, ashamed or simply unsure about your finances, this is a reminder that getting better with money doesn't have to mean doing everything at once. Sometimes, looking after your money is simply another way of looking after yourself.  This episode covers:  Canna Campbell on what financial freedom really means  Changing your mindset around money  Letting go of shame and inherited beliefs about finances  Setting specific, meaningful financial goals  Why you don’t need to fix your entire financial life at once  Taking small, achievable steps towards financial freedom  Creating a simple budget that actually works for you  Building a financial “float” for unexpected and annual expenses  Spending intentionally and prioritising what you value  How social media can distort our perception of wealth  Canna’s “Thousand Dollar Project” and the power of compounding  Understanding and taking control of your superannuation  Income protection and protecting your ability to earn  FIRE: Financial Independence, Retire Early  Money and relationships, and how couples can talk about finances  Why having your own financial assets matters  Decluttering and what your spending habits can reveal about you  What to do when you’ve been avoiding your finances  Why the best time to start is now  Find out more about Canna's book Twelve Months to Financial Freedom and https://www.sugarmamma.tv/ Stay up to date with Marie Claire Australia on Instagram @marieclaireau  🎧 Listen to You're Gonna Want to Hear This and follow us on Apple Podcasts or Spotify    👀 Watch and subscribe to You're Gonna Want to Hear This on YouTube 📺 for full episodes and clips. https://www.youtube.com/marieclaire  Credits:     Host Georgie McCourt     Edited by Helen Smith   Head of Vodcasting Rachel Fountain   With thanks to our amazing team at Marie Claire    You're Gonna Want to Hear This is a production of Marie Claire and Are Media https://www.marieclaire.com.au/life/youre-gonna-want-to-hear-this-podcast/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What can 20 years of working in family law teach you about marriage, divorce and what makes a relationship last?  In Part Two of Georgie McCourt's conversation with family lawyer, author, mum and TikTok sensation Fidan Shevket, Fidan gets candid about her “Don’t worry about it” philosophy, dealing with trolls, her decision to have a breast reduction and everything her career has taught her about relationships.  Fidan reveals what ultimately led her to have a breast reduction after years of people commenting on her body, and how the procedure changed her life after she began experiencing chronic back pain.  As a family lawyer, Fidan has spent more than two decades watching relationships break down. She shares what she believes are some of the most common reasons marriages end, from communication problems and falling out of love to couples gradually living separate lives. She also talks about what she's learnt from those experiences and how she applies them to her own relationship.  Fidan and Georgie also get into the world of prenups, or binding financial agreements, including when Fidan believes they can make sense, why they can be complicated, and the importance of getting good legal advice before signing one.  And, of course, there's food. Fidan gives Georgie a glimpse into her latest cookbook project and explains why salads, platters and finding joy in the everyday have become such a big part of her online world.  This episode covers:  Fidan's “Don't worry about it” philosophy  Dealing with trolls and criticism online  Why she eventually decided to have a breast reduction  The back pain that led to the decision  What 20 years in family law has taught her about relationships  The common reasons marriages break down  Communication, compromise and making an effort in a relationship  Why couples need to maintain their own interests  Fidan's views on prenups and financial protection  What women should consider before signing a settlement  Her advice for anyone feeling worn down during a divorce  Her approach to intimidation and confidence  Her latest cookbook project  Finding joy in the everyday  Stay up to date with Marie Claire Australia on Instagram @marieclaireau  🎧 Listen to You're Gonna Want to Hear This and follow us on Apple Podcasts or Spotify    👀 Watch and subscribe to You're Gonna Want to Hear This on YouTube 📺 for full episodes and clips. https://www.youtube.com/marieclaire  Credits:     Host Georgie McCourt     Edited by Helen Smith   Head of Vodcasting Rachel Fountain   With thanks to our amazing team at Marie Claire    You're Gonna Want to Hear This is a production of Marie Claire and Are Media https://www.marieclaire.com.au/life/youre-gonna-want-to-hear-this-podcast/  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What happens when the person you loved, the person you trusted with your future, wasn’t who they said they were?  Marie Claire Australia Editor Georgie McCourt sits down with author, advocate and marketing executive Tracy Hall, whose extraordinary story became known through the hit investigative podcast Who the Hell Is Hamish? Tracy was Hamish McLaren’s final known victim, after an 18-month relationship, she discovered that the man she knew as Max Tavita was in fact one of Australia’s most notorious con men. He had stolen $317,000 of her life savings.  Now, years after her story first captivated listeners, Tracy joins Georgie to tell the story in her own words. From falling in love with a man who appeared to share her values and ambitions, to discovering that almost everything she knew about him was a lie.  Tracy takes us inside the sophisticated manipulation that kept her from seeing what was happening, including the slow-building relationship, the carefully manufactured similarities, future promises and conversations about money that ultimately led to her investing her savings. She explains why romance scams aren’t about intelligence or naivety, why anyone can be vulnerable to manipulation, and why the shame should belong with the perpetrator, not the victim.  She also talks about The Last Victim, her memoir about the experience, and the work she is now doing to advocate for safer online dating, financial empowerment and a different way of talking about victims of scams. She explains why she believes dating apps need stronger identity verification, what happened when she discovered Hamish had appeared on a dating app again, and why she wants better safeguards in place before her own daughter enters the world of online dating.  And in one of the most timely parts of the conversation, Tracy explores the next generation of deception, AI scams, deepfakes and voice cloning and why “trust literacy” may become as important as financial and digital literacy.  This episode covers:  Tracy Hall’s role as Hamish McLaren’s last known victim  Her story as featured in Who the Hell Is Hamish?  Meeting Hamish, who she knew as Max Tavita, on a dating app  How an 18-month relationship was carefully constructed  The manipulation tactics and warning signs she missed  How $317,000 of her savings was stolen  Why intelligent, successful people can become victims of romance scams  The psychological impact of intimate fraud and betrayal  Rebuilding her confidence, identity and ability to trust  Becoming financially empowered after the scam  Writing The Last Victim  Victim blaming and the language we use around scams  Why dating apps need stronger safety measures  Hamish McLaren appearing on a dating app after his release  Dating again and learning to trust herself  “Trust literacy” and navigating deception in the digital age. AI scams, deepfakes and voice cloning  Why shame belongs with the perpetrator, not the victim  Stay up to date with Marie Claire Australia on Instagram @marieclaireau 🎧 Listen to You're Gonna Want to Hear This and follow us on Apple Podcasts or Spotify   👀 Watch and subscribe to You're Gonna Want to Hear This on YouTube 📺 for full episodes and clips. https://www.youtube.com/marieclaire Credits:    Host Georgie McCourt    Edited by Helen Smith  Head of Vodcasting Rachel Fountain  With thanks to our amazing team at Marie Claire   You're Gonna Want to Hear This is a production of Marie Claire and Are Media.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if being “nice” isn’t the same as being kind? And what happens when women stop making themselves smaller to keep everyone else comfortable?  This week, Marie Claire Australia Editor Georgie McCourt is joined by political journalist, author and cultural commentator Amy Remeikis to unpack women, power, anger, civility and the pressure to be “good”.  The author of Screw Nice, Amy explores why women are often judged for being direct, angry or emotional, while the same behaviour can be interpreted very differently in men. She discusses the double standards behind labels like “difficult”, the expectation that women make themselves smaller, and why refusing to be compliant can be an act of power.  Amy also shares her own experiences of learning to speak up, including a childhood moment that made her question why the way a woman responds to injustice can become more important than the injustice itself. She explains how she approaches uncomfortable conversations with people whose political views differ from her own, and why asking “why?” can be more productive than immediately shutting down a difficult conversation.  Plus, Amy shares her advice for dealing with being called “emotional”, “hysterical” or “difficult”, why women should stop apologising unless they have actually done something wrong, and how walking away from an argument can sometimes be the most empowering response.  This episode covers:  The politics of being “nice”  Why women are labelled “difficult”  Anger, protest and speaking up  Grace Tame and the policing of women’s behaviour  Double standards for women in leadership  Political disagreement and finding common ground  Gaslighting and emotional dismissal  Why women need to stop apologising for everything  Taking up space and using your power  The difference between being nice and being decent  You can find Amy's book Screw Nice here https://www.hachette.com.au/amy-remeikis/screw-nice Stay up to date with Marie Claire Australia on Instagram @marieclaireau 🎧 Listen to You're Gonna Want to Hear This and follow us on Apple Podcasts or Spotify   👀 Watch and subscribe to You're Gonna Want to Hear This on YouTube 📺 for full episodes and clips. https://www.youtube.com/marieclaire Credits:    Host Georgie McCourt    Edited by Helen Smith  Head of Vodcasting Rachel Fountain  With thanks to our amazing team at Marie Claire   You're Gonna Want to Hear This is a production of Marie Claire and Are Media.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Anine Bing has spent more than a decade building the kind of fashion empire most entrepreneurs dream of, launching ANINE BING from a Los Angeles garage and turning her signature blend of Scandinavian simplicity and LA cool into a global brand. But now, the designer, entrepreneur and creative is asking a different question: what success actually look like when it feels like it’s time to start again?  This week, Marie Claire Australia Editor Georgie McCourt is joined by Anine for a deeply personal conversation about awakening, ambition, burnout, divorce, motherhood, creativity and the journey of finding her way back to herself.  At 43, Anine found herself questioning whether she was truly living her truth or feeling fulfilled. After years of building her global fashion brand while raising her children, she realised she had been so busy “building, building, building” that she hadn’t had time to sit with herself and understand how she really felt. What followed was a period of deep inner work, major personal change and, ultimately, a new sense of freedom.  Anine also talks candidly about divorce, starting again in her 40s and the unexpected happiness she found on the other side. From creating a new home on her own terms to discovering that she is genuinely happy being alone, Anine reflects on what freedom means to her now and why she feels she has finally come back to herself.  The conversation also explores the evolution of ANINE BING, from packing orders on the garage floor while pregnant to building a global fashion business, and the importance of staying in your own lane rather than getting distracted by what everyone else is doing. She shares her philosophy on personal style, buying less but better, and why the right clothes can change how you feel about yourself.  Plus, Anine opens up about music as a form of healing, her album Chapter Two, motherhood, raising teenagers, finding her voice and why she now feels an obligation to share her experiences if they might help another woman.  This episode covers:  Anine Bing on her awakening in her 40s   Finding your way back to yourself   The hidden reality of burnout and ambition  Balancing motherhood and building a global business   Learning to prioritise yourself   Divorce and finding happiness on the other side   Starting a new chapter on your own terms   The freedom of being alone   Staying in your own lane   Building a successful fashion brand   Buying less and better and finding your personal uniform   Fashion, confidence and how clothes make us feel  Music as therapy and healing and Anine’s new album, Chapter Two   Motherhood and raising teenagers   Being comfortable in your own skin   The power of starting over   Why you shouldn’t give up  Stay up to date with Marie Claire Australia on Instagram   🎧 Listen to You're Gonna Want to Hear This and follow us on Apple Podcasts or Spotify   👀 Watch and subscribe to You're Gonna Want to Hear This on YouTube 📺 for full episodes and clips.   Credits:    Host Georgie McCourt    Edited by Helen Smith  Head of Vodcasting Rachel Fountain  With thanks to our amazing team at Marie Claire   You're Gonna Want to Hear This is a production of Marie Claire and Are Media.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What does it really mean to find your personal style? Our bodies change. Our lives change. So why do we expect our wardrobes to stay the same? In this special Style Issue episode of You're Gonna Want To Hear This, Marie Claire Editor Georgie McCourt and Deputy Editor Mel Gaudron take us inside the pages of the magazine's biggest fashion issue of the year, from Anne Hathaway's career renaissance to the messy reality of getting dressed in the morning. They unpack what it means to find your own style after motherhood and through perimenopause, why comfort becomes increasingly important as we get older, and how major life experiences can completely transform the way we dress. They also explore the growing acceptance of grey hair, the power of dopamine dressing, and the unspoken fashion rules that make us question whether we're getting it "right." The episode also looks beyond fashion, exploring the booming bumpfluencer economy and the way pregnancy and motherhood have become increasingly commercialised online. Georgie and Mel discuss the benefits and risks of monetising motherhood, the products being marketed to pregnant women, and why social media can make every stage of a woman's life feel like a commodity. They also share the extraordinary story of Jess Denham, who survived horrific childhood abuse and has gone on to become an advocate for better mental health support and greater confidentiality for sexual assault survivors. Plus, they discuss Marie Claire's investigation into voluntary assisted dying in Australia, Leighton Meester on success, self-worth and beauty, and why style ultimately comes down to feeling confident enough to be yourself. This episode covers: Marie Claire Australia's September Style Issue and Anne Hathaway's cover story Anne Hathaway's career renaissance, The Devil Wears Prada 2 and The Odyssey Finding your personal style and the pressure to follow fashion trends How motherhood changes the way women dress Perimenopause, body image and dressing for comfort Going grey and embracing ageing Dopamine dressing and using colour as a form of self-expression The "bumpfluencer" economy and the commercialisation of motherhood Jess Denham's extraordinary story of survival and advocacy Voluntary assisted dying and the personal stories behind the debate Leighton Meester on success, self-worth and beauty Why personal style is ultimately about confidence and being yourself The September issue of Marie Claire Australia, starring Anne Hathaway, is on sale now.

What happens when you refuse to be defined by just one version of yourself?  This week, Marie Claire Australia Editor Georgie McCourt is joined by Sabrina Dhowre Elba for a wide-ranging conversation about beauty, ambition, heritage, purpose and finding your own path.  Sabrina is a model, entrepreneur, beauty founder, activist, philanthropist and UN Goodwill Ambassador, but she’s also someone who has spent much of her life challenging the idea that women have to fit neatly into one box. She opens up about growing up in a Somali family in Canada, the influence of her mother Maryam, and how her heritage shaped the way she thinks about advocacy, philanthropy and representation.  She also talks about building S’Able Labs with Idris Elba, her husband, and the frustration with an industry that historically failed to properly cater to melanin-rich skin. Which ultimately lead to why she wanted to create a beauty brand that celebrates African ingredients and knowledge without making the product feel exclusive.   Sabrina also shares her hopes for changing the way the world talks about Africa, her work around agriculture and economic independence, and what she has learnt about using her platform to create long-term change. And, in a new chapter, she opens up about taking on her first lead film role, and what she discovered about herself while stepping into acting.  This is a conversation about identity, ambition, culture, purpose and the freedom to explore every side of yourself. As Sabrina puts it, her message is simple: don’t be afraid to explore different sides of yourself and just do the thing.  This episode covers:  Sabrina Dhowre Elba on refusing to be put in a box  Growing up in a Somali family in Canada  The influence of her mother, Maryam  Heritage, identity and representation  Building S’Able Labs with Idris Elba  Creating more inclusive skincare  African botanicals and traditional knowledge  The realities of self-funding a beauty brand  Purpose, philanthropy and meaningful impact  Changing the way the world talks about Africa  Agriculture, climate change and economic independence  Marriage, partnership and working with Idris  Sabrina's first lead film role  Why you should never be afraid to explore different sides of yourself  Check out S'Able Labs here https://bit.ly/4x3WzLd Stay up to date with Marie Claire Australia on Instagram   🎧 Listen to You're Gonna Want to Hear This and follow us on Apple Podcasts or Spotify   👀 Watch and subscribe to You're Gonna Want to Hear This on YouTube 📺 for full episodes and clips.   Credits:    Host Georgie McCourt    Edited by Helen Smith  Head of Vodcasting Rachel Fountain  With thanks to our amazing team at Marie Claire   You're Gonna Want to Hear This is a production of Marie Claire and Are Media.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What does it mean to define yourself when so much of your life has been shaped by other people's expectations?   This week on You're Gonna Want To Hear This, Marie Claire Australia Editor Georgie McCourt is joined by actress Adrianne Palicki for an intimate conversation about growing up in Hollywood, finding your voice, and the women she's played who have stayed with audiences long after the cameras stopped rolling.  Nearly 20 years after Friday Night Lights first premiered, Adrianne reflects on the enduring legacy of Tyra Collette, a character who spent much of the series being underestimated and defined by others, before finally choosing to imagine a different future for herself. As the show celebrates its anniversary, Adrianne talks about reconnecting with the cast and fans, why Tyra's famous college essay still resonates with her, and the extraordinary messages she's received from women whose lives were changed by the character.  She also opens up about navigating Hollywood as a woman, from being judged by appearances and underestimated early in her career, to the pressure to be strong, likeable and youthful.   Adrianne also speaks about her new indie drama Due West, reuniting with fellow Friday Night Lights alumni and playing a woman forced to take control of her future when the systems around her fail. She discusses the power of independent filmmaking, the stories she wants to tell about women, and why she's drawn to characters who refuse to be defined by their circumstances.  This is a conversation about ambition, resilience, identity, ageing, rejection and reinvention, and what happens when you stop asking other people who you're supposed to be.  This episode covers:  Adrianne Palicki on the enduring legacy of Friday Night Lights  Why Tyra Collette still resonates with women nearly 20 years later  The Friday Night Lights 20th anniversary and reconnecting with the cast  The importance of Tyra's “define myself” college essay  Being underestimated and finding your own sense of possibility  Growing up and finding your way in Hollywood  Being a woman in an industry obsessed with youth and appearance  Rejection, ambition and redefining success  Ageing and finding freedom in your 40s  Adrianne's new film Due West  Reuniting with Friday Night Lights alumni on Due West  Producing Texas Forever: The Legacy of Friday Night Lights  What it means to define yourself on your own terms  You can watch Due West on Apple TV  Friday Night Lights 20th Anniversary Roadshow: www.plex.tv/friday-night-lights-roadtrip  Stay up to date with Marie Claire Australia on Instagram   🎧 Listen to You're Gonna Want to Hear This and follow us on Apple Podcasts or Spotify   👀 Watch and subscribe to You're Gonna Want to Hear This on YouTube 📺 for full episodes and clips.   Credits:    Host Georgie McCourt    Edited by Helen Smith  Head of Vodcasting Rachel Fountain  With thanks to our amazing team at Marie Claire   You're Gonna Want to Hear This is a production of Marie Claire and Are Media.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What does it really take to maintain friendships as an adult, and why do we feel like failures when they fade? In this special Friendship Issue episode of You're Gonna Want To Hear This, Marie Claire Editor Georgie McCourt and Deputy Editor Mel Gaudron go inside the pages of the new issue, from the small joys of catching up to the bigger, messier questions we're all asking: They unpack the emotional labor of adult friendship, whether venting is a form of emotional misconduct or essential intimacy, the seven-year friendship statistic, what to do when you don't like a friend's partner, and the guilt of being the "bad friend." They also discuss "teen-ternity leave" — the phenomenon of mothers stepping back from careers when their kids become teenagers — and the very real cost to women's income, superannuation, and career progression. They also cover Marie Claire's cover star Hannah Waddingham, Ted Lasso season four, her four-octave vocal range, perimenopause journey and why women's careers getting better in their 50s is something to celebrate.

Can starting over at 50 lead to the happiest chapter of your life?  Continuing from part one, Marie Claire editor Georgie McCourt talks to fashion entrepreneur and style icon Tash Sefton about finding love again, turning 50, and the new life she never expected to build.  Tash opens up about meeting her husband Adam and the unexpected way love entered her life after divorce. She talks candidly about self-sabotage, learning to accept kindness after being hurt, and why she believes love often arrives when you stop looking for it. She reflects on the moment she realised she had created an entirely new life for herself — and why she now sees starting again as something she would highly recommend.  Tash also talks about turning 50, the anxiety she felt about the milestone and the beautiful way her friends and family helped her embrace it. Rather than seeing 50 as an ending, she began to recognise it as the beginning of a new chapter: one filled with love, friendship, purpose and a renewed sense of self.  The conversation turns to style and the reason behind her business, Where Did Your Style Go? Tash explores why so many women lose touch with their personal style as their lives change, and why getting dressed should be about feeling like yourself rather than following trends. She shares her approach to building a wardrobe around classics, mixing vintage with contemporary pieces, and helping women understand their own style, while also discussing her relationship with social media and why authenticity matters more than chasing followers.  This is a conversation about reinvention, identity, love and the freedom that can come with getting older. As Tash discovers, sometimes the life you build after everything changes can be even better than the one you thought you were meant to have.  This episode covers:  Finding love again after divorce  Meeting Adam and learning to trust a new relationship  Self-sabotage and the fear of getting hurt again  Why love can arrive when you stop looking for it  Turning 50 and confronting the anxiety around ageing  The friendships that helped her embrace a new chapter  Starting a new life and choosing happiness  Why women can lose their sense of style as their lives change  The philosophy behind Where Did Your Style Go?  Building a wardrobe around classics rather than trends  Mixing vintage, contemporary fashion and personal style  Helping women rediscover who they are through what they wear  Using social media as a tool rather than letting it control you  Why she only promotes products she genuinely believes in  What success, happiness and purpose mean in this chapter of her life    Stay up to date with Marie Claire Australia on Instagram   🎧 Listen to You're Gonna Want to Hear This and follow us on Apple Podcasts or Spotify   👀 Watch and subscribe to You're Gonna Want to Hear This on YouTube 📺 for full episodes and clips.   Credits:    Host Georgie McCourt    Edited by Helen Smith  Head of Vodcasting Rachel Fountain  With thanks to our amazing team at Marie Claire   You're Gonna Want to Hear This is a production of Marie Claire and Are Media.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
