Gorry captured our hearts at the Women’s World Cup in 2023- as did her two-year-old daughter Harper. Coming back to work after having a baby is difficult for any parent, particularly when your job involves playing for your country. Still, Katrina had the highest number of tackles of any player and covered the most ground. Now Katrina and her partner Clara Markstedt are expecting another baby, just in time for the Paris Olympics. THE END BITS:Katrina Gorry is on Instagram here.

Subscribe to Mamamia This isn’t just another ghost story. This one has far too many creepy and strange coincidences.Journalist Tristan Redman had unexplained things happen in his childhood bedroom. And he wasn’t the only one. There was another family, who lived in the same house, who had similar stories. The house really did seem… well… haunted. Then things got even weirder. Tristan discovered his wife’s great grandmother was murdered in the house next door. Could that have anything to do with the ghost of Tristan’s childhood? The more Tristan dug the more questions he had, not just about the paranormal, but about the murder itself. In this No Filter, Tristan talks about an extremely complicated murder plot, how he went to see psychic mediums and why he chose to keep investigating this mystery (and create a hit podcast in the process) despite it causing enormous friction within his wife’s family.Tristan's podcast Ghost Story is available on Wondery here, Spotify here, or Apple Podcasts here.

Subscribe to Mamamia When you think of a psychopath, you probably imagine someone like serial killer Ivan Milat. But according to David Gillespie, it's more likely to be your boss or your grandma. Five to 10 per cent of the population qualify as psychopathic, and the rate can be as high as 20 percent among corporate leaders and politicians. So how do you spot them? What do you do if you have to work for or with them, or better yet, date them? Grab a cup of tea and get ready to go ‘OH MY GOD’...
