Anine Bing on Life After Divorce, Finding Herself Again & Being Happier in Her 40s 16 Sep 202600:37:35

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? 

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 fab chat with the one and only Sabrina Dhowre Elba! 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! 

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

CONTENT WARNING: This episode covers violence, death and sexual assault. In Australia, contact Lifeline on 13 11 14 for 24/7 crisis support, 1800RESPECT on 1800 737 732 for domestic, family and sexual violence support.  

What does it mean to be a good man and what happens when we stop teaching boys that masculinity has to fit inside a box? 

This week, Marie Claire Australia Editor Georgie McCourt is joined by writer, speaker and anti-violence campaigner Tarang Chawla for a deeply personal and wide-ranging conversation about grief, masculinity, violence against women, the manosphere and what it means to create change. 

Tarang is the founder of Not One More Nikki, an organisation named in memory of his sister Nikki, who was murdered by her husband in 2015 at just 23 years old. He opens up about Nikki’s life, the abuse and coercive control she experienced, the devastating impact of her death, and how grief ultimately became a catalyst for his work advocating for an Australia free from violence against women. 

He reflects on the conversations we need to have with boys and men about power, empathy and accountability, and why “not all men” distracts from the more important question: what can men do to be part of the solution? 

Tarang also explores the rise of the manosphere, and the online spaces drawing young men towards misogyny and unpacks the “Man Box” - the expectations that tell boys and men to be tough, dominant and unemotional.  

Plus, Tarang shares the heartfelt message he would give to Nikki if she were here today, a deeply personal reflection on love, loss and the sibling bond they shared. 

This is a conversation about grief, masculinity, accountability and what it takes to create meaningful change. 

This episode covers: 

  • Tarang Chawla on the death of his sister Nikki 
  • Nikki’s story and the reality of coercive control 
  • Turning grief into advocacy and action 
  • Violence against women and men’s responsibility 
  • Why “not all men” is a useless response 
  • What men can do to be part of the solution 
  • The rise of the manosphere and why young boys are drawn to online misogyny 
  • The “Man Box” and expectations of masculinity 
  • Accountability, bystander intervention and male friendship 
  • Why “why doesn’t she just leave?” misses the point 
  • Pauline Hanson’s comments on domestic violence 
  • Challenging misogyny without turning away from boys and men 
  • Grief, memory and living with the loss of Nikki 
  • What Tarang wants men to understand about violence 
  • Creating a healthier, more expansive idea of masculinity 

If this conversation raises issues for you, support is available.

Sabrina Elba on Finding Purpose, Marrying the Internet’s Husband & Building S’Able Labs02 Sep 202601:12:49

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 fab chat with the one and only Sabrina Dhowre Elba! 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! 

The episode: 
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

Adrianne Palicki on Friday Night Lights, Being Underestimated & Finding Her Voice26 Aug 202600:40:06

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

Tash Sefton on Finding Love Again, Turning 50 & Reinventing Your Style | Part 219 Aug 202600:36:22

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

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.

  • Discovering fashion through her grandmother and mother 
  • Building a career as a fashion buyer, entrepreneur and digital creator

Camilla Franks is not Superwoman20 May 202000:34:09
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.

Why Khadija Gbla is the kickass women's rights activist we need right now30 Apr 202000:34:52
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!

From the battlefield to the boardroom: Matina Jewell’s lessons from the frontlines06 Mar 202000:31:03
Retired Army Major Matina Jewell has paid a hefty price for a decorated 15-year Army career. While on one of her five overseas missions, posted to the Middle East, tensions rapidly escalated. Within days of war breaking out, all her close colleagues were dead from an airstrike and she was lying lifeless on a tiled floor desperately needing medical attention for a broken back. With painful physical injuries to contend with and mounting mental ones due to the heartbreaking losses, Mattie has managed to rebuild her life emotionally and physically to become one of the top female leadership speakers in the country. Her story is what happens when you lose everything you believe to be important - your career, your status, your physical capabilities and your dreams for the future - and you have to start over.

Jessica Mauboy is taking a stand09 Jan 202000:36:54
From her signature husky full-body laugh and impromptu singing of familiar tunes by Mariah, Whitney (and even Billy Ray Cyrus), Jessica Mauboy is joy in motion.

The interview is equally uplifting and heartbreaking, and confirms why Jess is such an inspiring national treasure.

How Melanie Gleeson changed Australia's wellness industry21 Nov 201900:27:47
Back in 2000 when Melanie Gleeson tried to open a little day spa called Endota, the local council rejected her because they assumed she was opening a brothel. Two decades later she now oversees the Endota empire - Australia's biggest spa network, a booming beauty product business, and a therapy beauty school. While she has helped shaped Australia's billion-dollar wellness industry, she is also a thought-leader in how women work and has many things to say about what women need to thrive and survive in the workplace (and we couldn't agree with her more). See if you do too.

It's the story of women who wait and wish to be thinner and more beautiful, so then their lives can start. It's the story of women who believe that they somehow need to be more. She is here to remind us that we are all more than enough. Clare Bowditch makes you feel lucky to be alive - and who doesn't need that message? We dare you to not fall in love with this unsung Aussie treasure.

For 20 years Julie Bishop was the best leader the Liberal Party never had. As one political writer quipped, Bishop ''spent a whole career smiling at ambitious male careerists intent on pushing her over on the travellator''. Not any more. The transformation of Julie Bishop from impenetrable pollie to liberated lady-boss is a lesson for us all in the power of female resilience and reinvention. Best of all? She is more like the rest of us than we ever gave her credit for. Meet Julie V3.0.

And if that battle wasn't big enough - she now has a new life mission to save the planet. Watch out world.
