Rebecca Woolf Was Going To Leave Her Husband, Then He Died Nov 28, 2021

Show notes

Rebecca Woolf has done a lot of things before everyone else. She became a mum at 23 years old, had four children by the time she was 29 including twins. And then became a widow at just 37, when her husband Hal died pretty suddenly. But before he got sick unexpectedly, she was planning to leave him…

Rebecca speaks about the hard stuff like exploring her sexuality and open relationships, stuff that we often don’t allow ourselves to talk about, or even to feel.

THE END BITS:

With thanks to Rebecca Woolf. You can buy her book, Rockabye,
From Wild to Child, here.

Phoebe Burgess Is Ready To Talk: Part Two Nov 17, 2021

Show notes

For two years, Phoebe Burgess remained pretty silent when it came to the breakup of her marriage. And then her ex-husband went on a reality TV show called SAS Australia. She’d wake up in the morning and read messages from women on Instagram saying they were thinking of her. And that’s when she realised the danger of someone's story being told by someone else. So, she decided to take the power back. And that’s why she’s joining Mia in the studio today for part two of our conversation...

Phoebe Burgess Is Ready To Talk Nov 14, 2021

Show notes

If you’d looked at Phoebe Burgess’ Instagram account three or four years ago, chances are you would have seen a happy family smiling back at you. Phoebe; a former magazine journalist, her husband, Sam Burgess; the famous NRL player, and a growing baby bump going on family holidays to Hamilton Island, Fiji, and coastal NSW. They had a beautiful home. Fame. Wealth. It was the ultimate highlight reel. But only a few people knew that those family holidays weren’t exactly what they appeared to be. A tiny handful of individuals in and around the football club were the only ones privy to all the things that had to be kept quiet. But now, Phoebe Burgess has found her voice, and is ready to talk...

Kate Langbroek Decided To Blow Up Her Life Nov 07, 2021

Show notes

Over the past two decades, Kate Langbroek's life has changed dramatically. Some of that change has been because of choices she’s made - like having 4 kids in 5 years, or deciding to quit her high profile, massively well-paid radio job alongside Dave “Hughesy” Hughes to move to Italy...in the midst of a global pandemic.

But other things that have thrown her world into chaos have been things that blindsided her. On this episode of No Filter, she opens up about all of it.

With thanks to Kate Langbroek.

The Very Big Friendship of Leigh Sales & Annabel Crabb Oct 31, 2021

Show notes

Mia Freedman often says friendships are forged in the fire of shitty times as well as great ones. And that is the truth of the very strong, sometimes very rude bond between Leigh Sales and Annabel Crabb. They are two of the most admired, respected, successful, and talented journalists in Australia. They’ve won awards, written best-selling books, birthed babies, a hit podcast, a community of Chatters, and now a new book, called Well Hello.

They’ve both been on No Filter a number of times separately to talk about various projects but today, Mia wanted them to speak candidly about each other. From the misconceptions of Leigh to Annabel’s hair.

THE END BITS:

With thanks to Leigh Sales & Annabel Crabb.

The Story Of Amani Haydar Oct 24, 2021

Show notes

Amani Haydar was five months pregnant and excitedly preparing to become a mother for the first time. But on an ordinary day, Amani’s life changed to a degree she never thought possible. She answered a phone call that sliced everything she thought she knew about her parents, about relationships, about marriage, about love and about her own future - into two very different parts: before and after.

Amani has since written a book about her experience called The Mother Wound, and she joins Mia now to share her powerful story.

If you are experiencing domestic violence, please know that support is available. Call the National Sexual Assault and Domestic Family Violence Counselling Service, 1800 RESPECT, on 1800 737 732. If you are in immediate danger, call 000.

The Private Life Of Emma Wiggle Oct 10, 2021

Show notes

Emma Watkins grew up wanting to be a ballerina. She’d watched dancers all her life on the TV, and on The Wiggles. But then she got injured, and that dream? Well, it went out the window.

So she went in search of something more, and little did she know that something more would see her become the first female Wiggle.

On this episode of No Filter we talk about everything from the backlash she faced at the announcement, her Endometriosis diagnosis, and what it’s really like to be one of the most recognised children’s entertainers in the country, and in fact...the world.
