Welcome to Clementine Ford's Big Sister Hotline: the no-nonsense feminist advice line that doesn’t mince its words but always leads with love.



Best-selling author, writer, and fearless feminist trailblazer Clementine Ford returns with her newly relaunched award-winning podcast, here to guide you through life's most tangled, uncomfortable moments with the kind of wisdom you may not want to hear but absolutely need to.



Each week, Clem answers your calls, cutting through the noise with unapologetic clarity, raw honesty, and a resolute refusal to indulge in patriarchal bullshit. Whether it’s love, boundaries, breakups, body image, politics, sex, career, or finding your voice in a world that constantly tries to silence you, no topic is too taboo, no feeling too big, and no question too difficult.



She’s the big sister you always deserved, the mum you never had, the aunty who listens without judgement, and the friend who won’t let you settle for anything less than the best.



So, plug in, speak your truth, and let Clem help you navigate the chaos and claim your power.

  • What Do I Do When My Husband’s Family Protects an Abuser?

    What Do I Do When My Husband’s Family Protects an Abuser?
    Dec 9 2025

    This week on the Big Sister Hotline, Clem talks about what happens when someone you love tells you the truth about the abuse they’ve lived through, and that the family around them refuses to see it. Our listener has learned the full story of her sister-in-law’s marriage, and now she’s sitting with anger, guilt, and the pressure to keep the peace. Clem unpacks why these situations feel so heavy, how our own history can shape our reactions, and what it looks like to stand with survivors even when it’s uncomfortable.


    Content note: This episode contains discussions of coercive control, emotional and verbal abuse, childhood trauma, and the impact of witnessing abuse within families. If you or anyone you know needs help, please contact 1800RESPECT or call 000 in an emergency.

  • A Himalayan Check-In From Clem

    A Himalayan Check-In From Clem
    Nov 20 2025

    This week on the Big Sister Hotline, a quick message recorded from a Sherpa village on the Everest Base Camp trail (yak bells and all). Clem sends a love note about choosing aliveness in small ways, invites you to think about the things you’ve told yourself you’re “too old” or “not capable” of - and to pick one to say yes to today. A gentle reminder that this is your one wild, rich life.

  • Is Love Enough When Our Cultures and Futures Don’t Align?

    Is Love Enough When Our Cultures and Futures Don’t Align?
    Nov 5 2025

    This week on the Big Sister Hotline, Clem unpacks what it means to love across borders. Our listener is stretched between two countries, two cultures, and two futures - one dreaming of marriage and family, the other unsure where home is. Clem explores how inequality and expectation shape our choices, and why sometimes love doesn’t fail; it teaches us how to grow, let go, and begin again.
