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.

  • Kathleen O'Shea
    Apr 9 2026

    She went for a drive with her son. After that, everything is a mystery. No charges. No body. No legal outcomes. Her name is Kathleen (Katie) O'Shea. She was only 44. Katie's daughter Lily has spent more than half her life not knowing who killed her mum. Somewhere in the vast Atherton Tablelands in Queensland is her body and the evidence police need to charge Katie's killer. Today, Lily tells the She Matters Podcast how hard it has been to maintain hope that justice will prevail, and she explains how her mum's murder has impacted her life. This episode discusses domestic violence and murder. It is not for children. This is Kathleen's story.

  • Molly Jane Wilkes Part 2
    Apr 2 2026

    Far from home she died. A young woman who spent the final years of her life living in terror. Her name is Molly Jane Wilkes. She was only 22. For every one woman I document as having been killed by their former or current partner, another 10 women will die by suicide following domestic violence. Yet, domestic violence related suicide flies under the radar. Molly is one of these women. Since her death almost four years ago, Molly's mum Julie has relentlessly lobbied to close a loophole that made Molly's death even more hard to navigate. Today, Julie speaks about her daughter and her legacy. This episodes discusses domestic violence and suicide. It is not for children. This is Molly's story.
