ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
From women who figured it out the hard way, for girls who shouldn't have to.
LitHERacy exists because I got tired of pretending I had the answers. It’s an Australian podcast built for young women who want that real stuff. Built entirely on the belief that an informed girl is a protected girl. Evidence-based. Honest. One hundred percent judgment free, because trust me, you wouldn’t believe half of what we have actually been through to get here.
No topic too big, no question too awkward.

No one sits a girl down and explains her first payslip. They just hand it to her — tax gone, super gone, a tax file number to go and find — and leave her to work it out.

Somewhere along the way a girl learned her body was a project — something to shrink, to earn, to apologise for. This one takes all of that apart. Holly Moore sits with Maddie to talk about why food isn't a reward you have to earn, why "health has a look" is a lie someone's profi…

Your mind is not the enemy, even when it's keeping you up at 10pm running the same conversation for the hundredth time. This one reframes the whole thing: anxiety isn't something wrong with you, it's a signal trying to tell you something. Psychologist Dr Marny Lishman talks to Maddie…
Exercise was sold to girls as a punishment. Punishment for what you ate, for what your body looks like, for not being smaller. This one hands it back as something else entirely: movement, and it's yours. Exercise physiologist and former Australian pole vaulter Amanda Bisk made the 2010 Commonw…
Nobody actually teaches you how sex works. School covers bodies, bugs and babies; the internet covers everything else, badly. The real questions go unanswered: what does it actually feel like, who puts what where, how do you say what you want, how do you say not yet? Sexologist Jordina Quain has sp…
