The Friendship Issue: Hannah Waddingham, Teen-ternity & Bad Friends

View descriptionShare
 

What does it really take to maintain friendships as an adult, and why do we feel like failures when they fade?

In this special Friendship Issue episode of You're Gonna Want To Hear This, Marie Claire Editor Georgie McCourt and Deputy Editor Mel Gaudron go inside the pages of the new issue, from the small joys of catching up to the bigger, messier questions we're all asking:

They unpack the emotional labor of adult friendship, whether venting is a form of emotional misconduct or essential intimacy, the seven-year friendship statistic, what to do when you don't like a friend's partner, and the guilt of being the "bad friend." They also discuss "teen-ternity leave" — the phenomenon of mothers stepping back from careers when their kids become teenagers — and the very real cost to women's income, superannuation, and career progression.

They also cover Marie Claire's cover star Hannah Waddingham, Ted Lasso season four, her four-octave vocal range, perimenopause journey and why women's careers getting better in their 50s is something to celebrate.
