    Adrianne Palicki on Friday Night Lights, Being Underestimated & Finding Her Voice

    Hey Finding Fearless Listeners! Here's a new episode from Marie Claire's new podcast - You're Gonna Want to Hear This! Hope you enjoy this amazing chat with Friday Night Lights icon Adrianne Palicki, if you love it make sure you pop on over and subscribe, follow or hit the + sign to You're Gonna Want to Hear This wherever you like to watch or listen to your podcasts!  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.

    Tash Sefton on Finding Love Again, Turning 50 & Reinventing Your Style | Part 2

    We hope you enjoy this great conversation from Marie Claire's new podcast - You're Gonna Want to Hear This! This little treat is Part 2 of a fab chat with Tash Sefton, if you love it make sure you pop on over and subscribe, follow or hit the + sign to You're Gonna Want to Hear This wherever you like to watch or listen to your podcasts!  🎧 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.   This episode: 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.

    Camilla Franks is not Superwoman

    Camilla Franks is a creative tour de force of the Australian fashion industry. Since 2004 her eponymous label has been renowned for its dazzling designs and beloved by women across the globe including the likes of Beyonce, JLo and Oprah, to name a few. But there's more to Camilla's story than star-studded success. Over the past two decades she's weathered career struggles, grief, breast cancer, and now - like all of us - the global impact of COVID-19. But throughout it all she has remained a pillar of strength and positivity and is the dose of inspiration we all need right now. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Why Khadija Gbla is the kickass women's rights activist we need right now

    Human rights activist, Khadija Gbla first came to our attention through her extraordinary TEDx talk describing how she found out she was a survivor of Female Genital Mutilation (watch it NOW!). The talk was a game-changer. Through sheer force of will, Khadija has forever altered the conversation around FGM in Australia and now, as an ambassador for Our Watch, she continues to fight for those without a voice in the battle to stop violence against women and children. She is both fearlessly passionate, but also funny as (our kind of woman), but mainly a formidable force of nature who compels you to come along for a blast of a ride. Buckle up!

    25 years on: Why Natasha Stott Despoja is still sticking up for women

    Just a warning - this episode deals with the topic of domestic violence - if you need help please call 1800RESPECT now and if you are ever in any danger please call the Police on 000. For more than three decades Natasha Stott Despoja has been a kick-ass part of public life in Australia - firstly as our nation's youngest ever Senator - sitting in Canberra's Parliament House at the tender age of 26. Then in numerous government and representative roles, Natasha has consistently had a passion for the wellbeing of Australian women. Whether it was in her capacity as the former Australian Ambassador for Women and Girls or as the longstanding Chair of Our Watch - our peak body tasked with preventing violence against women and children - Natasha has simply always had our backs. And now at this time of social isolation - where domestic violence victims are more exposed than ever before - she has much to say about how we can all help each other to ensure women at risk are looked after. Natasha's words of wisdom are what we need right now - so listen up.  Thanks for our partners at Mimco for making this episode of Finding Fearless possible.
