This is not a true crime podcast. It's a lives lived, lives loved, and lives lost to violence podcast. Each week, journalist Sherele Moody brings you the heartbreaking stories from the frontline of our femicide epidemic. As told by HER family, learn about the traits and experiences that made her unique, learn about the place she holds in her loved one's lives, understand the impact of the crime on her humans and traverse the hardships, the trauma, injustices and hopes for change.


This season of She Matters is supported by Verve Super, committed to women’s financial security and standing against violence in all its forms. She Matters is also supported by Your One and Only.

Women in Australia retire with an average 23% less retirement savings than men. That’s a real super gender gap. Our financial lives can be quite complex, however many of us don’t know who to turn to for support in a financial services industry that wasn’t built with us in mind. That’s why we created Verve a community for women, men & non-binary folk who believe in our mission of closing the super gap.

  • Marea Yann Part 1
    Feb 26 2026

    For 22 years, she's waited. For answers. For justice. For peace. But it never comes. She waits for the person who killed her precious nonna to be held to account. It feels like an eternity, these decades. Her nonna's name is Marea Bambina Alice Yann. She was only 69. Esther Yann was nine when her darling grandmother was murdered. After years of hope and despair, Esther continues to push through. She speaks today about the path she walks and her hopes for justice. This episode discusses domestic violence and murder. It is not for children. This is Marea's story.

  • Kristy Armstrong Part 2
    Feb 19 2026

    He abused her for years. He demeaned her to his children. He controlled her financially. He sent death threats. He acted the doting dad and husband in public. And still they blame her. Her name is Kristy Armstrong. She was only 36. Kristy's mum explains how hard it was for her daughter to disclose what he was doing, the hurdles Kristy faced when she reached out for support from domestic violence services, the ongoing victim-blaming and what it's like to raise her granddaughters. This episode discusses coercive control, domestic violence, suicide and murder. It is not for children. This is Kristy's story.
