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

    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.

    The Friendship Issue: Hannah Waddingham, Teen-ternity & Bad Friends

    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. This episode covers: Marie Claire Australia's Friendship Issue Hannah Waddingham cover story Ted Lasso season four The emotional labor of adult friendship Do friendships have to last forever?

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

    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.

    Tash Sefton on Divorce, Losing Herself & Starting Over After 22 Years | Part 1

    What happens when the life you built no longer feels like your own?   This is part one of a two-part conversation. Marie Claire editor Georgie McCourt sits down with fashion entrepreneur, digital creator and Where Did Your Style Go? founder Tash Sefton to talk about her extraordinary career, motherhood, divorce and the experience of rebuilding your identity from scratch.  Tash takes us back to the beginning, from discovering her love of fashion through her Croatian grandmother and mother, to becoming a fashion buyer, entrepreneur and one of Australia's most recognisable style voices. She reflects on more than two decades spent shaping the way Australian women shop and dress, and why she eventually walked away from parts of the fashion industry that no longer felt authentic.  She opens up about the end of her 22-year marriage, navigating divorce with children, and rediscovering who she was outside of being a wife and mother. Tash reflects on learning to be comfortable alone, rebuilding her confidence and identity, and finding the freedom to start again.  Tash also shares what happened when she stopped looking for love, began dating again, and discovered that a new chapter could be even better than the one she'd left behind.  Part two continues the conversation with Tash on finding love again, turning 50, the evolution of her personal style, authenticity on social media, and why so many women reach a point in life where they no longer recognise themselves.   This episode covers:  Discovering fashion through her grandmother and mother  Building a career as a fashion buyer, entrepreneur and digital creator  More than two decades shaping Australian women's approach to style  Walking away from parts of the fashion industry that no longer felt authentic  The end of her 22-year marriage  Navigating divorce and motherhood  Losing and rebuilding her sense of identity  Learning to have a relationship with herself  Finding freedom and contentment in being alone  Dating after divorce and rediscovering herself  Why she wasn't looking for love when it eventually found her  Starting again and believing life can get better  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.

    Nicole Yade: Why Leaving an Abusive Relationship Is the Most Dangerous Time

    What if the most dangerous moment in an abusive relationship isn't staying, it's trying to leave?   As Australia continues to grapple with the national crisis of domestic violence and violence against women, this week on You're Gonna Want To Hear This, Marie Claire Australia Editor Georgie McCourt speaks with Nicole Yade, CEO of the Women and Girls Emergency Centre, whose own experience surviving family violence and coercive control has shaped decades of frontline advocacy for women and children escaping abuse.  Before Nicole dedicated her life to helping others find safety, she was a child growing up in a home ruled by fear. As an adult, despite promising herself she'd never repeat the cycle, she found herself in an abusive relationship of her own. At 24, she fled with her five-month-old baby, leaving behind violence and stepping into homelessness because staying was no longer safe.  In this deeply personal conversation, Nicole shares why leaving an abusive relationship is far more complicated than people often believe. She unpacks domestic violence nd the invisible barriers that keep women trapped, while drawing on decades of experience supporting victim-survivors on the frontline.  This is a conversation about survival, resilience and rebuilding a life after trauma. Nicole also explains why domestic violence services are at breaking point and what needs to change to better protect women and children.   If you or anyone else you know is experiencing domestic, family or sexual violence, support is available.

    Bianca Spender on Losing Carla Zampatti and Living With Grief: PART 2

    Continuing from part one, Marie Claire editor Georgie McCourt talks to designer Bianca Spender about how she protects her creative energy while running an 18-year-old Australian luxury label: splitting her days into “creative time” and “business time,” and why her most productive hours are between 5pm and 2am, once the emails stop.  Bianca describes the Bianca Spender aesthetic in her own words: clothes built around freedom and movement, designed to make women feel completely themselves, or better yet, want to dance. She also shares why she kept two skin cancer diagnoses private for years, and why launching her first swimwear collection and sun care campaign felt like the right moment to speak about it publicly, including how two separate conversations with friends led her to catch both cancers early.  In the second half of this episode, Bianca reflects on some of the most defining moments of her life: the sudden and very public loss of her mother, and the loss of her father eighteen months later. She talks about the advice on grief that has stayed with her since: “it never leaves, it just visits less frequently,” and how grief reshaped her sense of courage and self-forgiveness. She closes with how she protects her time through boundaries with technology, her “swimming epiphanies,” and a final message for anyone listening: trust yourself.  This episode covers:  Protecting her creative energy by separating “creative days” from “business days”  Why her most creative hours are 5pm to 2am, once the world switches off  The Bianca Spender aesthetic: designing clothes meant to free the body and “make you dance”  Going public with two skin cancer diagnoses after years of privacy  Launching her first swimwear collection and sun care campaign  Navigating the sudden, very public loss of her mother  Living with grief as an ongoing companion: “it never leaves, it just visits less frequently”  Finding courage and self-forgiveness in the wake of loss  Protecting her time with boundaries around technology  Her “swimming epiphanies” and other ways she switches off  A closing message to trust yourself  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.
