Jazz Thornton has spent years turning some of life’s hardest conversations into stories of hope. An award-winning filmmaker, author, speaker and mental health advocate, and co-founder of Voices of Hope, she has built a career around talking openly about mental illness, suicide, trauma and recovery and showing people that a way forward is possible.

But more recently, Jazz found herself telling a very different kind of story.

Marie Claire Australia Editor Georgie McCourt sits down with Jazz for a deeply personal conversation about stalking, trauma, mental health, safety and the complicated reality of turning your most painful experiences into a public story.

Her new documentary series, Stalked, explores what happens when online attention crosses a line into obsession, control and fear. After experiencing stalking herself, Jazz was forced to confront what it means to lose your sense of safety and how quickly the digital access we give people can become something much more dangerous.

Jazz opens up about the moment she realised her stalker had travelled 18,000 kilometres to find her, the fear and hypervigilance that followed, and the safety measures she and those around her had to put in place. She talks about why stalking is so often minimised until it becomes dangerous, how social media can blur the boundaries between public access and personal privacy, and what she wishes she had known about online safety before her own experience.

She also reflects on the experiences that shaped her long before stalking entered her life childhood trauma, bullying, severe mental illness and multiple suicide attempts and the people who helped her find a way through. She talks about co-founding Voices of Hope, her work with young people, and the power of storytelling to make people feel less alone.

• Jazz's experience of severe mental illness and recovery
• Childhood trauma, bullying and mental health

The episode:

What happens when the life you've been told to want no longer fits?

In this episode of You're Gonna Want To Hear This, Marie Claire Editor Georgie McCourt sits down with broadcaster, author and Better Homes and Gardens presenter Myf Warhurst to discuss her powerful new book Middle Rage and the realities of life, love and womanhood in midlife.

Myf opens up about her experience with perimenopause, the anxiety that left her struggling to go on air, and the late ADHD diagnosis that helped explain so much about her life. Together, Georgie and Myf unpack why so many women feel exhausted, overwhelmed and angry in midlife, and why that anger might actually be one of our greatest strengths.

They discuss the cultural conditioning that teaches women they need to be chosen, how romantic films like The Notebook shaped our expectations of love, and why more women are choosing to live independently, downsize after divorce and create lives on their own terms in the new series, Better at Home, hosted by Myf.

The conversation also explores the gender data gap in medicine, why women's health has been overlooked for generations, the rise of AI-driven ageism in the workplace, and the importance of trusting your intuition, backing yourself and staying visible as you get older.

Funny, thoughtful and deeply honest, this is a conversation about reclaiming your voice, trusting yourself and embracing the freedom that can come with age.

This episode covers:

• Myf Warhurst's new book Middle Rage
• Perimenopause and menopause symptoms women aren't warned about
• Anxiety, burnout and the hidden impact of hormonal changes
• Receiving an ADHD diagnosis later in life
• Why ADHD often goes undiagnosed in women
• Women's anger, people-pleasing and setting boundaries
• The cultural pressure to be chosen in relationships
• Dating, divorce and finding happiness on your own terms
• The reality behind romantic movie tropes
• Creating a fulfilling life without following traditional expectations
• Better Homes and Gardens and the rise of women designing lives their own way
• The gender gap in medical research
• Why women's health outcomes are often worse than men's
• AI-driven ageism and women in the workplace
