Podcast appearances and mentions of Farrah Storr

Subscribe to Mamamia If you're a girl or a woman who doesn't think she wants to have kids - where are your role models for what your life could look like?  Portrayals of happy mums are everywhere, but rarely do we see women who choose not to have children shown in a positive light.  Ten years ago, journalist and editor Farrah Storr decided to be a non-parent. In the years since that decision, she has learned so much about the many ways a woman can live a rich, connected and fulfilling life without having children. And lucky for us, she's turned her observations into a list of aha moments and beautiful surprises that we can all learn from, whether we are parents or non-parents, and she shares them with Mia Freedman in this episode of No Filter.

Welcome to the first episode of my new podcast exclusive to The Hyphen: Creative Coffee with Emma Gannon. This is a Substack-only podcast focusing on writers and their creative process, discussed over a laid back coffee.My first conversation is with the brilliant Farrah Storr, head of writer partnerships at Substack who runs Things Worth Knowing, a newsletter always full of interesting essays, tips and guest columns that reaches over 40k readers weekly. I wanted to interview Farrah for multiple reasons — one being that our newsletter readers have a big crossover on this platform (according to the geeky stats) so we thought our readers would enjoy this collaboration, and plus Farrah genuinely cares about writers having success on Substack. She works behind the scenes at the company and runs her own (thriving) newsletter on the side. She is also, like many of us, really over the endless onslaught of short form content.“Writing suddenly got rechristened ‘content'. And ‘content' felt just wrong. I didn't want listicles. I didn't want as much ‘content' as you my optic nerve could handle. I didn't want another ‘hot take'. I wanted to connect. I wanted nuance. I wanted honesty and I wanted points of view that were perhaps not always reflected in the mainstream press. But more than that, I wanted a community.” — Farrah StorrFrom the decades working at the top in women's media, she is really in-the-know on how to grow a writer's brand, how to stand out and generate ideas, how to spot trends, and plus she is generous in sharing hidden gems. I am someone who is very bad at doing prior research before going anywhere so I use Farrah's newsletter as a place for quality recommendations. For example, the most useful things to pack in your suitcase, or all the best spots to visit in Paris that haven't yet been TikTokified, or the best UK cosy staycation places that resemble that cottage in The Holiday. She also writes in tandem with cultural moments, such as how her and husband are the real “One Day” story when the Netflix series aired, which then got picked up as a big mainstream media piece a few days later. Reminder: This new podcast is only accessible to my Hyphen members, I made it for you and your support means it will remain ad-free. The premise is super simple: coffee and chat with a guest on the topic of creativity. If you want access to all upcoming episodes, then make sure you're signed up as a paid subscriber to The Hyphen. A housekeeping note: Most people voted for these podcast updates to be included in the Sunday Scroll emails you already receive instead of dedicated posts — so I will honour that for any new episodes! For the other half of you who wanted weekly updates instead, make sure you keep an eye on the app if you want to be notified on every new post I publish. ♡The Creative Coffee podcast series is going to be pretty cosy and intimate for the most part (I wanted it to be something I could make from home) — however: when I was offered the wonderful chance to host a live recording of the podcast in central London (in a library room in Conway Hall no less!) I, of course, said yes!Thank you so much to everyone who attended the event, it was so lovely to see you in person and raise a glass to the magic of the Substack community. This episode is slightly different in ~vibe~ to the other episodes (because we are literally on stage; my usual set-up is me at home in a massive jumper) — but I absolutely loved it, it felt so special to bring you along with me as I recorded the first one. Enjoy!Links to a few things discussed in the episode:* Farrah's book The Discomfort Zone* Farrah's Substack Things Worth Knowing* Farrah's post about how gardening helps her grow* My books A Year of Nothing and The Success Myth* Farrah on BBC Radio 5 live speaking about a lack of friendship* May Sarton's journal: At Eighty-Two published in 1997* My post experimenting with a journal style piece* Salman Rushdie's new memoir* On Aaron Sorkin taking six showers a day* The list of NYC co-working spaces we discussed was in a thread on the Maybe Baby Substack but sadly I can't find it!

Hey, fam! On today's show: Taylor Swift announced her brand new album at the Grammy's and where does the woman get the time? And then, obviously, we need to talk about expensive mugs and overpriced totes. Plus, Nick Lachey brings back music Mondays (much to my delight!) and Michael Buble is a silly, goofy, very high man. This week, Mich recommended ‘10 things I wish I'd known before deciding not to have kids at 45' by Farrah Storr. Zara recommended Drunk Elephant's Tiffany Masterson on How I Built This.

Oh, are you in for a treat this week?! I'm joined by the blooming fantastic Farrah Storr - ex-editor-in-chief of Elle, Cosmopolitan, and Women's Health magazines and current Head of Partnerships at Substack in the UK (I'm borderline obsessed with Farrah's own substack: Things Worth Knowing). In this episode, Farrah candidly shares her story of moving from the sadly withering world of glossy magazines to the cutting-edge platform created by writers, for writers, Substack. Created to keep culture alive as the world leaves ink on paper behind, We discuss how refreshing it is to be on a toxic-free online platform, and how Substack is a platform for 'serious' writers, hobby writers, and, increasingly, entrepreneurs who can use it as their personal media hub. You're going to LOVE this conversation - Farrah breaks down so clearly for us, the intention behind Substack and the best way to get the most from (and contribute the most to) this creative space that's ripe for exploring. About Farrah: Farrah Storr is the Head of Writer Partnerships for Substack in the UK. Prior to this Farrah was the award-winning editor-in-chief of ELLE, Cosmopolitan, and Women's Health magazines. She also writes the best-selling substack Things Worth Knowing. Mentioned in this episode: Farrah's substack: Things Worth Knowing (I'm utterly addicted - it's now part of my Sunday routine!): https://farrah.substack.com/ Not started your own substack yet? Why not create one now: https://substack.com/signup Farrah's substack post about my motherhood story: https://farrah.substack.com/p/my-secret-regret-at-being-a-mother My substack: https://gillmoakes.substack.com/

In this (absolutely fascinating) episode I'm joined by former Editor-in-Chief of Cosmopolitan, Womens Health and Elle, the amazing Farrah Storr.As you'll hear Farrah imagined that she'd be in magazines all her life but as the media landscape has changed, she's moved away and now spends her time running the UK division of Substack where she also publishes her own very successful newsletter Things Worth Knowing.During the episode we discuss Farrah's career and where she is now. We have a really interesting conversation about how the role of editor has now shifted (the title no longer exists at Vogue, instead being called Head of Editorial Content) and what this means for the future of magazines. We also explore how many former edtors are now self-publishing on Substack and making more money then they did in their former high profile jobs.This leads us to chat about we can not only get the best out of Substack as readers but also how easy it is to start one and build a wonderful community and potentially new career.I hope that you leave this episode as inspired as I am. Substack really does seem like such a wonderful option for people who are sick of short form content that is based on annoying algorithms. Who knows, you could be earning enough on Substack to enable you to leave your job this time next year!Check out Farrah's Substack here Oh and my own one The Outspoken is here

Farrah Storr, former editor-in-chief of Elle, Cosmopolitan & Women's Health, sits down with Bridget to discuss the never-ending hustle of being a writer. They talk about how she got her start in the magazine industry, what her family thought of the career, the importance of getting in the door and getting experience over continuous higher education, working a lot for little to no money, how she became an editor, the difference between being a writer and an editor, and the mistakes she made along the way. They also cover how part of growing up is the ability to recognize your own mistakes, learning to look inwards and not point the blame at others, why the best editors are commercially minded but they have the soul of a writer, writers who come from money vs. writers who have day jobs, being undeniable, the death of hustle culture, when fashion magazines go all political, how the way to change someone's mind is with love and humor, and why she doesn't look back.Bridget Phetasy admires grit and authenticity. On Walk-Ins Welcome, she talks about the beautiful failures and frightening successes of her own life and the lives of her guests. She doesn't conduct interviews—she has conversations. Conversations with real people about the real struggle and will remind you that we can laugh in pain and cry in joy but there's no greater mistake than hiding from it all. By embracing it all, and celebrating it with the stories she'll bring listeners, she believes that our lowest moments can be the building blocks for our eventual fulfillment.Beyond Parody with Bridget Phetasy is a reader-supported publication.

This week we hear from Substack UK's Head of Writer Partnerships Farrah Storr. Over the past decade she's worked in leading editorial roles at some of the biggest lifestyle magazines in the UK before leaving ELLE to join the newsletter platform. She tells us about why more mainstream media brands should be investing in Substack, why she doesn't believe you need a huge profile to start out on the platform, and what problems with the wider internet ecosystem Substack is trying to solve. In the news round-up, the team dissect some unfortunately-timed stories about Reach plc, and why the national and regional publisher's woes are only likely to increase as the ad-stuffing strategy plays out. In the news in brief section, we explore increasingly troublesome links between the Conservative government and senior BBC executives, BuzzFeed's edict to staff to increase story output, and Meta's subtle de-emphasis of its metaverse project. Thus endeth the season. We'll be back in May for the next one!

Hey, everyone! On today's show: The Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber drama just went nuclear and our heads are a mess. Then, the country music cheating scandal that involves a… chainsmoker… a celebrity boxing match, Avril Lavigne's broken engagement might be as messy as they come, and an article in The Times UK that we simply can't stop thinking about. This week, Zara recommended ‘The terrifying cult of 'good taste'' from the newsletter Things Worth Knowing with Farrah Storr. Mich recommended her sister Claire's new podcast, The Moment, as well as Are You Happy Now by Hanna Jameson.

Farrah Storr has not only been the editor of Elle Magazine, she's also been the editor of Cosmopolitan as well as launching Women's Health magazine too. She was listed as one of the 1,000 most powerful people in the UK in 2017 plus she's won numerous awards including Editor of the year. And now she's changing the way we consume our media, she's doing something she loves and helping others to do the same. Farrah has also written a book called The Discomfort Zone: How to Get What you want by living fearlessly. It's all about the obstacles we face and how rather than skirting around them – actually working through them is the most exciting and magical route you can ever take. Farrah tells us what life really is like at those Paris Fashion weeks. She also talks about the importance of being ourselves and how it's this which gives us the lives we're meant to have. Farrah is warm, modest and so encouraging – I cannot think of a better way to begin Series 8.

In 2018 she published The Discomfort Zone: How to Get What You Want by Living Fearlessly. She is passionate about personal growth, the need to embrace discomfort, the implausibility of having it all (at one time) and making space for a creative outlet. We discuss: Wellness trends and shifts within the industry The need to embrace our fears How pushing ourselves can feel at odds with current societal narratives How life is a series of choices, which we must learn to live by The myth of having it all The need for creative expression   Each week I unpack a wellness trend with GP Gemma Newman. This week on Fact or Fad we're looking at protein powders.   More about Farrah: The Discomfort Zone https://www.amazon.co.uk/Discomfort-Zone-What-Living-Fearlessly/dp/0349415358 Farrah's newsletter: Things Worth Knowing https://farrah.substack.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Things we talked about:The value of owning your own audienceBuilding a brand for yourself around the work you're doingThe growing online hunger for content by real people and the forging of real connectionsWe seem to be entering an era that Farrah calls, rather poetically, "the Time of the Writer": the world has passed the period of devouring all the content on the Internet, now we are more discerning, and only want to consume content that we genuinely enjoyThe continued return of demand for long-form contentThe return of community: the value of hearing from and engaging with your audienceGiving your best work away from free (yes!)The limitations of the stories that can be told in traditional mediaAnd related, the limitations of creating content when you're in competition for followers or clicksWhen you try to appeal to the masses, you bland outFarrah's tips for what works well on Substack:Niching works well. The more you niche, the more dedicated (as opposed to big) an audience you'll getPublishing twice a week tends to grow a "stickier" audienceUse social media to point people to your Substack contentUse your "About" page to set expectations and declare a manifestoClaim your real name, if you canWhere to find Farrah:Farrah's Substack platform, "Things Worth Knowing"Farrah on Instagram (for dog pictures and Substack information)Where to find Sara:Sara on SubstackSara's website: meandorla.co.ukSara on Instagram: @me_and_orlaSara on Twitter: @meandorlaOne to one business coaching with SaraThe Insta Retreat

I interviewed her for this podcast back in 2018 and I'm excited to invite her back on to discuss what's changed, what she is up to, including her new role at Substack.

Want to know how to embrace feeling uncomfortable? Life is tough, but you are tougher and you only discover that you are tougher by stepping into the discomfort zone and challenging yourself.  "discomfort is never as bad as we think it will be…. It also never lasts as long as we think it will… discomfort is not a constant; it is fleeting. Neither is discomfort debilitating; on the contrary, it is empowering” Farrah Storr, the Discomfort zone.  Farrah Storr is the Editor in Chief of Elle UK. She launched Women's Health Magazine in 2012 with no budget and six weeks to make it happen. It became one of the most successful women's magazines of the millennium. In 2015 Farrah became the editor in chief of Cosmopolitan magazine and increased sales by 59%, taking the magazine back to number one position on 16 years. Farrah has learnt herself how to unlock constraints and harness failure to empower a very successful career.  Join me in conversation with Farrah on how we can use the discomfort of failure and criticism as a turning point in our lives.  Just for my listeners, MooGoo have given an exclusive 15% off to Live Well, Be Well listeners.

My guest this week is the phenomenal Farrah Storr, author of The Discomfort Zone, one of the most thought-provoking and useful books I read last year. Farrah manages to squeeze in a few other things too. As Editor-in-Chief of Cosmopolitan, she took a struggling magazine brand and turned it around, increasing its circulation 59% to become the highest-selling British glossy. Before that, she was the launch Editor of Women's Health, the most successful magazine launch of the decade. She's also a TED speaker, and a social mobility commissioner. We talk about her childhood in Salford, being rejected from Cosmo as a young journalist, and why it's a better time for magazines than it was a few years ago. She also reveals what it's like going up against Piers Morgan on TV and how she wrote most of her book at 5am on Saturdays and Sundays. And she tells me why she believes “having it all-ish” is a better ambition than having it all, how you can be “successful but a bit of a f**k up as well”, and why she wants to expand access to the creative industries. Finally, she reveals the single most important advice she would give to any aspiring writers.

Things we talk about in this episode: Farrah's new book - The Discomfort Zone Farrah career path, and the role failure and discomfort have played The 'London bubble', and why you don't need to be in it to succeed in print media Breaking down the barriers of starting out in journalism, and the need to diversify the media The challenges faced by young people today, and the concept of "generation snowflake" Whether women - or anyone - can ever really 'have it all', or should even want to Why we all need to have a 'failure CV' What lies outside of our comfort zone, and why we need to dive into it The relationship between old and new media, and why Farrah is positive about influencers and bloggers The creation of the Cosmo Influencer Awards Links mentioned in this episode: The Discomfort Zone - Farrah's book Farrah's Instagram My Instagram My book The Insta Retreat

Award-winning editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan, Farrah Storr explains how discomfort – the very thing modern culture teaches us to shirk from – can, in fact, lead us to personal and collective greatness. We inhabit a culture where children are routinely protected from struggle and failure, a time when our academic institutions incubate students from challenging ideas and where we bubble wrap ourselves in an online world where we need only ever bump up against the opinions and world views that sit ‘comfortably’ with our own. This event was recorded live at The RSA on Tuesday 11th December 2018. Discover more about this event here: https://www.thersa.org/events/2018/12/the-discomfort-zone

In person, she does not disappoint. We talk about the curse of perfectionism, the notion of  having-it-all (ish) and Farrah's decision to be a child-free woman.

Plus, we discuss her new book, The Discomfort Zone, and explore how doing what scares you can sometimes be the pathway to success. And we talk about Farrah growing up in Manchester, the half-Pakistani daughter of the local green-grocer who was desperate to 'blend in' and her creepy habit of shaving the heads of her Barbie dolls when she was a girl.   How To Fail With Elizabeth Day is hosted by Elizabeth Day, produced by Chris Sharp and sponsored by 4th Estate Books   Farrah's book, The Discomfort Zone, is out now published by Piatkus   Social Media: Elizabeth Day @elizabday Farrah Storr @Farrah_Storr Chris Sharp @chrissharpaudio 4th Estate Books @4thEstateBooks

Hello October! It's Dolly's favourite month of the year. If she were reincarnated, says Pandora, it would be as a knee-high boot. This week we discuss MeToo's infighting - as Asia Argento unveils a new bloody dagger tattoo aimed at Rose McGowan; Pret's tragic error and the 14 allergens that all foodstuffs should be labelled with; and why the Nobel peace prize should be taken away from Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi despite the organisation's novel explanation as to why it hasn't. Masses of recommendations from us both, including Lily Allen's memoir, the film Tully, a beautiful piece on grief by Alice Edwards, and a series of accounts on what it was really like to work for Harvey Weinstein, in The Guardian magazine. Are NDAs protecting the wrong people? We couldn't *not* talk about Brett Kavanaugh - the Republican judge who looks set to enter the Supreme Court, the highest law-making body in the USA, despite the accusation of sexual assault lodged against him by Dr Christine Ford. Do men (and women) of a certain age - and political view - still subscribe to the belief “that if it isn't rape, it doesn't count”? And are we surprised that Trump is still endorsing Kavanaugh?Also this week, we discuss a brilliant piece by the editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan magazine, Farrah Storr, for The Times Magazine - about why women can't (and maybe don't want) it all. Dolly and I talk about the ‘splintered woman' (domestic, professional, sexual) and get personal on the subconscious pressure to have it all; why we don't have it all; and why having different things, at different times, is actually even better.

Farrah Storr is the award-winning editor-in-chief of the UK's Cosmopolitan magazine. She took over the brand in 2015 where she was tasked with reimagining it for the millennial woman. The October issue of Cosmo magazine has model and body-positivity advocate Tess Holliday on the cover. It was celebrated across the internet by many who lauded the magazine for championing body positivity and embracing larger bodies but it was also battled out on Good Morning Britain (by Piers Morgan) arguing that it glorifies obesity. Over her 17-year career as a journalist Farrah has done everything from undercover investigations in the world of cut-price cosmetic surgery to reporting from inside some of the world’s most luxurious fashion houses. She was also the founding editor-in-chief of Women’s Health magazine – the most successful women’s magazine launch of the decade.In 2017 Farrah was cited as one of only 36 BAME leaders in The Guardian UK’s 1000 Most Powerful list.Her first book is out now called The Discomfort Zone all about the power of discomfort, published by Piatkus, which we discuss a lot in this episode.Quotes from the episode:"Being vulnerable is what you have to do as a writer, that is your job.. sometimes that means putting yourself up for scrutiny from other people, but that's what makes the best writers.""You can have it all....ish. It's naive to think you can have everything.""True heroes are never that popular.""Most of success is the climb; the grind to actually get to success. The grind should be the enjoyable bit."

The POTUS hit the UK for his week of ridicule: the balloon; the march; the press conference and *that* video gone viral of Trump barging in front of the Queen. Meanwhile, Dolly discovers a new music hero (David Keenan) and Pandora reads her first ‘work-help' book (The Discomfort Zone by Farrah Storr.) Oh, and Love Island fans: Undercover Lover is your new favourite podcast. You're welcome. Today we are honoured to host Yomi Adegoke & Elizabeth Uviebinené, the writers of Slay In Your Lane: The Black Girl Bible. A meticulously researched and brilliantly written deep-dive into what it is to be a young black woman in the UK, the book prompted a 9-way publishing war and is stuffed full of interviews with famous black women including Olympic athlete Denise Lewis, barrister and author Afua Hirsch and former pop star Jamelia. We discuss microaggressions and microinvalidations; the ‘white co-sign'; being racially palatable; why representation and sponsorship is so important (just 0.49% of university professors are black women); why black women are swiped left more than any other ethnic group on Tinder; and how Rihanna changed the black beauty industry.
