Charlie Verco: He Paddled Towards The Shark To Save Her

When everyone else swam for shore, Charlie Verco paddled the other way: straight towards a great white shark. On a clear, busy Saturday morning at Coogee Beach in June 2026, the 25-year-old surf lifesaver and elite board paddler was training when a woman, Leah Stewart, was attacked just ahead of him. What he did next made headlines around the world. CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains detailed descriptions of a shark attack and serious injury that some listeners may find distressing. Charlie grew up a North Bondi nipper and is now one of the country’s best ocean paddlers, the youngest ever winner of the Molokai to Oahu Paddleboard World Championships. In this conversation he walks Marie Claire Editor Georgie McCourt through the rescue minute by minute: reading the shark’s behaviour, the moment Leah was dragged under, towing her to shore one-armed when she lost consciousness, and the lifeguards and paramedics whose training saved her life on the sand. It is a story about courage, but Charlie is uneasy with the word hero. He talks honestly about fear, adrenaline and imposter syndrome, how surf lifesaving and sport trained him to think under extreme stress, what a shark expert later told him, and why he is now urging two things: better shark safety on Australian beaches, and for people to donate blood. In this conversation, Charlie Verco joins Marie Claire Editor Georgie McCourt to talk about the Coogee Beach shark attack, what it takes to act in a crisis, fear of the ocean, surf life saving, and why blood donation saves lives. This episode covers: The Coogee Beach great white shark attack: what Charlie Verco saw on Saturday 13 June 2026 Why he paddled towards the shark instead of swimming to safety What it is like to come face to face with a great white shark How surf lifesaving training and Ironman racing prepared him to act under extreme stress Towing an unconscious woman to shore one-armed on a paddleboard What a shark expert later told him about great white behaviour The beach response: tourniquets, lifeguards and the teamwork that saved a life Managing fear, adrenaline and the shakes after a traumatic rescue Going back into the ocean: how Charlie feels about the water now Shark safety in Australia: drones, detection and what he thinks needs to change On being called a hero, and the imposter syndrome that comes with it Why he is urging Australians to donate blood, especially O negative If this conversation raises issues for you, support is available. In Australia, contact Lifeline on 13 11 14 for 24/7 crisis support.

Cate & Bronte Campbell: Two Sisters, Twelve Olympic Medals And The Love Behind It All

They grew up in the same house, chased the same dream and spent two decades racing each other to the wall. Now, without any medals on the line, Cate and Bronte Campbell are sitting down to talk about the love story at the heart of it all: sisterhood. In this episode of The Australian Women's Weekly Love Stories, Cate and Bronte join host Tiffany Dunk to reflect on two decades of shared sacrifice, rivalry and unwavering support. They share moments from their childhood in Malawi, what it felt like to stand on an Olympic podium and the private heartbreaks that tested them along the way. Plus, they open up about what it really feels like to race your sister in front of the nation, how they held each other together when things fell apart, and the role their brother Hamish, who has cerebral palsy, has played in grounding them throughout their careers. And now with both in retirement, they talk about what it means to step away from a lifelong dream and the projects they're pursuing next. Moments you’ll hear: Growing up in Malawi with a big family How their love of swimming began Their brother Hamish, who has cerebral palsy, and what he taught them about perspective How they navigated sibling rivalry in the public eye Qualifying for the London 2012 Olympics together The message they received on the night of the closing ceremony; “Hamish is in ICU” Cate’s reflection on her Rio 2016 Olympics performance Life after the pool and what’s next What each sister wants love to look like for the other Listen to the Campbell sisters' podcast: Campbells & Co Bronte's sustainable activewear brand: Earthletica Bronte’s interview with The Weekly on her retirement: Women’s Weekly.

Belle Burden: My Husband Of 20 Years Became A Stranger Overnight

In this episode of You’re Gonna Want To Hear This, marie claire editor Georgie McCourt sits down with writer and author Belle Burden for a conversation about love, loss - and what happens when your life changes overnight. During the early days of Covid lockdown, Belle believed she was safe inside a happy, 20-year marriage. Then, within 24 hours, everything changed. A phone call from a stranger revealed her husband was having an affair. By the next morning, he had packed a bag, told her he wanted a divorce, and left. There was no warning. Just what he later described as “a switch” that had flipped. In this raw and deeply honest conversation, Belle takes us inside that moment - and the aftermath that followed. From the shock of abandonment and the physical reality of heartbreak, to the patterns many women are now recognising in their own lives, this episode explores what it means to lose not just a partner, but the life you thought you were living. Belle also speaks candidly about the financial lessons she learned, the expectations placed on women to stay quiet, and how writing her memoir Strangers became a way of reclaiming her voice.This is a conversation about devastation, but also about rebuilding. About identity. About resilience. And about the possibility that, even in the wake of something unimaginable, a new life can take shape. In this episode, we cover: The moment Belle’s marriage ended - and what happened the night before The psychology of sudden abandonment and “runaway husbands” The physical and emotional impact of shock and heartbreak Why so many women are recognising themselves in this story The financial blind spots that can leave women vulnerable in long marriages Co-parenting, emotional detachment, and navigating life after divorce Rebuilding identity - and finding yourself again after everything changes About Belle: Belle Burden is a writer and former lawyer. Her Modern Love essay for The New York Times was one of the most widely read columns of the year. Her memoir, Strangers, expands on that story - exploring marriage, betrayal, and the process of rebuilding a life from the ground up. A note to listeners:This episode discusses themes of infidelity, divorce, and emotional distress. Please listen with care.

The Day I Learned My Stepdad Was A Child Killer - Sherele Moody

For more than a decade, journalist and activist Sherele Moody has been documenting the stories too often reduced to statistics - every known Australian woman and child killed by violence. Through Australian Femicide Watch and the Red Heart Movement, her work has become a powerful, living record - one that ensures these lives are seen, named and never forgotten. But this isn’t just advocacy for Sherele, it’s very personal. In this deeply confronting and essential conversation, Sherele joins You’re Gonna Want To Hear This to share the story that changed her life - the moment she discovered her stepfather was responsible for the murder of two young girls. A revelation that would go on to shape her life’s work. From a childhood marked by abuse and instability, to building one of the most significant databases of violence against women in Australia, Sherele speaks with unflinching honesty about trauma, survival, and the cost of speaking out. She also unpacks the systemic failures that continue to put women at risk - and why the question isn’t why women stay, but why it remains so difficult to leave. This episode covers: The personal story behind Sherele’s activism The reality of femicide in Australia - and what the numbers miss Why domestic violence systems are failing women The emotional toll of documenting over 3,000 deaths How community, connection and action can drive change If this conversation raises issues for you, support is available. In Australia, contact 1800RESPECT (1800 737 732) or Lifeline (13 11 14).

Robbed Of Her Childhood: Bek Condello On Escaping A Cult

CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains themes of childhood abuse, physical punishment, sexual trauma and coercive control. If you or someone you know needs immediate assistance, call 000. For confidential 24/7 crisis support, contact Lifeline on 13 11 14 or visit lifeline.org.au. Support is also available through Beyond Blue on 1300 22 4636 or at beyondblue.org.au. What if leaving your faith meant losing everyone you'd ever loved? This week on You're Gonna Want To Hear This, Marie Claire Australia Editor Georgie McCourt speaks with author Bek Condello about her extraordinary journey out of one of Australia's most controlling Pentecostal churches. Raised inside the Geelong Revival Centre, Bek grew up believing the outside world was dangerous. Every aspect of life, from education and friendships to marriage and work was dictated by church leaders. Curiosity was discouraged, obedience was demanded, and fear shaped almost every decision. In this deeply personal conversation, Bek reflects on the childhood she now recognises as abusive, the lasting impact of religious trauma and the heartbreaking reality that leaving meant losing her family, community and identity. She also opens up about purity culture, consent, body shame, marrying to escape one form of control only to enter another, and the years it took to trust herself and build a life on her own terms. Today, Bek has transformed unimaginable loss into purpose. As the state of Victoria investigates high-control religious groups, she explains why sharing her story has become about much more than personal healing... it's about helping others recognise coercion, reclaim their autonomy and know they're not alone. This episode covers: Growing up inside the Geelong Revival Centre How high-control religions shape identity Religious trauma and childhood abuse The psychological impact of fear-based faith Purity culture, consent and bodily autonomy Escaping a controlling church Rebuilding life after leaving a cult Learning to trust yourself again Why leaving is a process, not a single moment Bek's advocacy for survivors of coercive religious groups Can You Handle a Girl Like Me? by Bek Condello is available from mid-July.

David & Emily's Farmer Wants a Wife Love Story: Speed Dates, A Farm Wedding & Baby Willa

Emily wasn't sure she wanted to apply for Farmer Wants a Wife – until David's photo popped up on Facebook and changed her mind. Meanwhile, David had tried the apps, was living on his family farm and quietly hoping for something more. In this episode of The Australian Women’s Weekly Love Stories, David and Emily sit down with Tiffany Dunk – with seven-week-old Willa in tow – to talk about the speed date where Emily was saved for last, the blind date that changed everything, and what it actually felt like to fall in love in front of the nation. They open up about the post-COVID loneliness that led them both to the show, what it was like to watch friends and family celebrate their love at a big farm wedding, and how Emily navigated morning sickness on a 40-minute commute before she could tell anyone why. David reflects on the moment he told his producer, “I feel so light, so happy around her,” and Emily shares why moving to the farm two weeks after filming wrapped never felt scary. Plus, the pregnancy announcement that happened in the middle of a backpacker dinner, the emergency C-section that brought Willa safely into the world, and the new venture that means their farm will soon be hosting other people’s love stories too. Moments you’ll hear: Why Emily applied for Farmer Wants a Wife after spotting David’s photo on Facebook – and the puppy she bought first. The speed date where David’s producer saved Emily for last. The blind date that was “no turning back” and how their feelings shifted from that moment. What being filmed constantly and living together for eight weeks does to a relationship. Emily moving to the farm two weeks after filming and finding a dance teaching job. The Mudgee proposal: gin tastings, a fake photo shoot, a jetty – and the ring size Emily had handed over at breakfast that morning. A 220-person farm wedding, a big tipi, and a dance floor people still talk about. The pregnancy announcement in the middle of a chaotic backpacker dinner. Emily’s morning sickness, a 40-minute commute, and keeping a big secret. Baby Willa’s arrival. Their new wedding venue, Lagnicourt, where others can celebrate love where theirs began.

Health Anxiety, Chronic Illness and Online Misinformation Cost One Woman Her Life

What happens when the search for answers becomes a dangerous obsession? Georgie sits down with journalist and author Hannah McElhinney to discuss her book Wormhole, the true story of her cousin Lauren. Lauren spent much of her life battling debilitating symptoms and collecting diagnoses including chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia and POTS, while struggling to find meaningful answers from the healthcare system. As her trust in traditional medicine eroded, she was drawn deeper into online communities promoting controversial and unproven treatments - including coffee enemas, bleach protocols, ozone therapy and hyperthermia treatment. At just 37 years old, Lauren travelled alone to Malaysia for an alternative treatment she hoped would finally make her well. She never came home. Hannah shares the heartbreaking story behind Lauren’s death, and the broader questions her story raises about health anxiety and the booming wellness industry.

Feng Shui Money Corners and Why Mirrors are EVERYTHING with Jane Langof

Welcome on into The Edit. In this episode, Feng Shui expert and author Jane Langof gently dismantles everything you think you know about “just moving the sofa” and explains how your floor plan, front door and even your bedside table are quietly shaping your mood, money and sleep. Alongside editor Elle Lovelock, Jane demystifies all the talk about 'coffin‑position' beds and mirrors that bounce your energy straight back out the door, explains why skylights in bedrooms are a hard no, and how to fix classic “bad chi” layouts with rugs, lighting, artwork and a bit of clever buffering - rather than a full rebuild. You’ll hear Jane bust the most viral TikTok myths (no, leaving the toilet lid up is not flushing your wealth away; yes, clutter is public enemy number one), walk through what to do if you’ve moved into a “divorce house” or a place with heavy history, and share simple rituals to clear energy from saging to gratitude journaling... without buying a single crystal lion. She also lets us into her own gloriously human side: messy teen bedrooms, laundry on the floor, her international karaoke ribbon and the netball obsession she took up at 40, all in service of what she calls a “Feng Shui lifestyle” - one that’s as much about the people and habits you invite in as the cushions on your couch.
