What if the person you're most afraid of becoming is yourself? Every month, writer Emma Hardy found herself trapped in a cycle of rage, despair, anxiety and emotional chaos. Then it would pass, and life would return to normal - until the cycle began again. In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Marie Claire Editor Georgie McCourt sits down with Emma to discuss her debut memoir, Periodic Bitch: A Memoir of Menstruation, Madness and Monsters, a raw exploration of life with premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). Together, they discuss PMDD, from uncontrollable anger and emotional outbursts to the relief and complexity of finally receiving a diagnosis. The conversation moves beyond the condition itself, examining how women's pain is misunderstood, dismissed or pathologised, and why conversations about female rage remain so uncomfortable. Emma also explores the surprising cultural influences behind the book, from horror stories and hysteria to medical research conducted on rats, and the question at the heart of Periodic Bitch: when is a mood just a mood, and when does it become an illness? In this episode: What PMDD actually is, and why it's often mistaken for severe PMS Emma's journey to diagnosis Georgie's personal experience living with PMDD The impact PMDD can have on relationships, careers and self-worth Why female anger is so often labelled as madness The link between PMDD, mental health and emotional regulation <li aria-setsize="-1" data-leveltex
What if the worst thing anyone ever said to you became the story that changed your life? This week, Marie Claire Editor Georgie McCourt sits down with playwright, screenwriter and memoirist Lally Katz to talk about My Cursed Vagina, her brutally funny, wildly honest and unexpectedly moving memoir drawn from the past fifteen years of her life. Before the awards, theatre acclaim and Hollywood success, Lally was a woman searching for love in all the wrong places: emotionally unavailable men, disastrous dates, psychic readings, one-night stands, impulsive decisions and relationships that left her questioning whether something inside her was fundamentally broken. Then, during a snowstorm in New York, a psychic named Cookie told her she was cursed. According to Cookie, the problem was not just Lally’s love life. It was her vagina. What follows is a conversation that moves between laugh-out-loud absurdity and profound emotional honesty. Georgie and Lally unpack the stories women tell themselves about love, desirability, self-worth and the dangerous habit of mistaking longing for intimacy. In this conversation, Lally and Georgie talk about love, sex, shame, motherhood, creativity, heartbreak and the messy, humiliating, funny, deeply human things women do while trying to be chosen, understood and loved. This episode covers: The psychic reading in New York that inspired My Cursed Vagina Why women can mistake intensity, longing and obsession for love The boyfriend who called Lally his “flatmate” for eighteen months and refused to give her a key Chasing emotionally unavailable men across cities and continents Tinder, one-night stands, dating chaos and romantic fantasy Receiving a herpes diagnosis and deciding to talk openly about STI stigma <li aria-setsize="-1" data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="3" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559683":0,&
Why do so many women wake up one day and feel like they want out? In this episode of You’re Gonna Want to Hear This, Marie Claire Editor Georgie McCourt sits down with renowned psychoanalyst and bestselling author Stephen Grosz for a conversation about love, resentment, affairs, marriage, desire, emotional labour, and the complicated reality of trying to build a life with another person without losing yourself. After more than 40 years inside the consulting room, and more than 75,000 hours listening to people talk about heartbreak, betrayal, longing and intimacy, Stephen has come to believe that love is not simply something we fall into. It is something we work at. Often, that work begins at the exact moment relationships stop feeling easy. Together, Georgie and Stephen unpack why resentment can quietly poison even strong relationships, why contempt is often far more dangerous than anger, and why many people do not leave because they have stopped loving their partner, but because they no longer recognise themselves inside the relationship. They also talk about affairs and what people are really searching for when they step outside a marriage, the emotional complexity of long-term love, the impact children can have on intimacy and desire, and why some couples emerge stronger after betrayal while others cannot recover. Georgie opens up about her own experience with marriage counselling, co-parenting, and the small daily rituals that can soften even the hardest relationships. This episode covers: Why love requires labour The resentment that can destroy relationships Why contempt is often more dangerous than anger The real psychology behind affairs How children can change intimacy and desire Why people leave because they dislike who they have become <li aria-setsize="-1" data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="3" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559683":0,"
What does it take to sit across from one of the world’s most powerful men… and not flinch? In this week’s episode of You’re Gonna Want To Hear This, Georgie McCourt sits down with legendary British broadcaster, journalist and author Emily Maitlis for a riveting conversation about career-defining interviews, the discipline of preparation, and why the best journalists never move on until they get an answer. From the now-iconic Prince Andrew interview to covering revolutions, elections and some of the biggest global stories of our time, Emily reveals what was really going through her mind inside Buckingham Palace, why she locked herself in a bathroom moments before that interview… and how years of being underestimated as a “silly little girl” became her greatest strength. She also opens up about motherhood in the public eye, the brutal early years of balancing young children with a high-pressure career, learning to lean into discomfort, and why women often become more powerful - - not less—as they get older. Plus, Emily shares the one piece of advice every woman needs to hear right now. In this episode, Emily shares: Why great journalism is 80% preparation, 20% surrendering to chaos The interview technique she swears by: “Don’t move on.” What happened in the five minutes before the Prince Andrew interview Why she never got angry sitting across from powerful men she believed weren’t telling the truth How repetition, rejection and public mistakes built her confidence The reality of raising children while living in the glare of public scrutiny <li aria-setsize="-1" data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="4" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559683":0,"335559684":-2,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"4

CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains discussion about abuse and trauma. Maggie Walters has lived a life most people could barely comprehend. Diagnosed in her twenties with Dissociative Identity Disorder, formerly known as Multiple Personality Disorder, Maggie came to understand that her mind had created different parts, or “alters”, to help her survive severe childhood trauma. In her first book Split, Maggie shared the story of that trauma and introduced readers to “the girls”, the parts of her who protected her through experiences no child should ever have to endure. Now, in her new book Fractured Motherhood, Maggie explores what came next: becoming a mother, adopting three children from the Philippines, and learning how to parent with love, courage and honesty while navigating DID, trauma and fear. In this deeply powerful conversation, Maggie joins You’re Gonna Want To Hear This and tells Marie Claire Editor Georgie McCourt about what DID really is, why it is so misunderstood, how trauma shaped her childhood, and how motherhood helped her break a cycle of intergenerational harm. This is not a story about being defined by trauma. It is a story about survival, hope, identity, parenting, and the extraordinary ways people find a path forward. This episode covers: * Maggie Walters’ diagnosis with Dissociative Identity Disorder / Multiple Personality Disorder * What DID really feels like from the inside * How childhood trauma can lead to dissociation * Why Maggie calls her alters “the girls” * Writing Split and Fractured Motherhood * Adopting her three children from the Philippines * The fear of passing trauma on to your children * Mothering while navigating mental health challenges * Breaking cycles of intergenerational trauma * Why Maggie believes change and hope are always possible If this conversation raises issues for you, support is available.

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.
