Kathy Lette: Your Husband Isn’t Forever. Your Girlfriends Are.

In this episode of You’re Gonna Want To Hear This, marie claire editor Georgie McCourt sits down with one of Australia’s most fearless, funny and enduring voices - Kathy Lette.With more than 20 bestselling novels and a career spanning five decades, Lette has built a legacy out of saying the things women are often told not to say out loud - and making us laugh while she does it.In this conversation, Kathy unpacks the realities of modern womanhood - from the politics of ageing and the persistence of sexism, to the power of female friendship and the truth about love, marriage and divorce.She also opens up about her latest book The Sisterhood Rules, which explores the intensity of female relationships - including loyalty, betrayal, and why the friendships we build can be the most enduring relationships of our lives.This is a conversation about finding your voice, owning your power, and why life - and confidence - only gets better with age.In this episode, we cover:

Why Kathy believes ageist sexism is the next big battle for women
The moment she was told “no one wants to read about middle-aged women” - and how she proved them wrong
Why women come into their power after 50 (and the “I’ll feck it” effect)
The truth about marriage, divorce, and starting again
Why female friendship can be life-saving - and sometimes devastating
The inspiration behind The Sisterhood Rules
The “pleasure gap” - and why equality still hasn’t made it into the bedroom
Why humour is one of the most powerful tools women have

As Kathy tells us, never wait to be rescued. Build a life - and a sisterhood - that sustains you. Follow You’re Gonna Want To Hear This so you never miss an episode.
