Wed, 20 Nov 2024 - 612 - Hallucinations, Paranoia & Delusions [Part 1]: Ariane's Descent Into Postpartum Psychosis
[Part 1 of 2] One day, Ariane Beeston looked at her newborn baby, Henry, and saw a dragon. And not a cute, happy dragon - but an upset, red-faced dragon. At that moment, Ariane knew something was very wrong. Other very wrong, very scary things were happening too.
A few months later, Ariane would be diagnosed with postpartum psychosis. But a diagnosis was only the beginning of her odyssey - one that would see her hospitalised twice, convinced that she didn’t exist, and worried that she might never be herself again.
This is a crucial story about maternal mental health and finding your way out of the darkness - and one that Ariane shares with Mia in this special two-part episode.

Wed, 13 Nov 2024 - 610 - Jackie-O [Part 1]: The Addiction That Almost Ended Her
Jackie O was deep into a years-long addiction to pills and alcohol until one phone call changed her life.
There’s a reason Jackie O kept her addiction to pain medication and alcohol a secret for so long: shame. But now, she wants to share her story of recovery and healing with the world and to help other people get the help they need - and so she’s sharing the hard truths of the years she spent struggling.
Jackie and her best friend Gemma sit down for a searingly honest conversation with Mia Freedman about how Jackie found herself at her low point and finally had to admit her addiction to Gemma - and how Gemma got Jackie to rehab without the press finding out.
This is a story about addiction and recovery, but it’s also a story of the life-saving quality of friendship.
You can hear part two of Mia's conversation here.
Jackie is donating the proceeds from the sale of her memoir to Odyssey House - you can learn more about them here.

Wed, 06 Nov 2024 - 607 - What It's Like To Hire A Male Escort
[Part 1 of 2] Anna Grosman is a Melbourne-based mother of two and staunch advocate for women’s sensual empowerment. She’s recently launched Her Confidant - an elite male escort service that aims to satisfy a woman’s libido, body and mind.
Anna believes that putting a male escort on retainer will be one of the new trends of 2025 - as more and more women decide to go #boysober - rejecting the dating apps and more traditional methods of meeting a sexual partner - which all too often prove to be unsafe and unpredictable.
The men who work for her - who she calls ‘companions’ are rigorously vetted to ensure that her female clients have a safe, respectful and tailored experience.
In this taboo-smashing episode of No Filter, Mia Freedman asks every question you’d want to ask Anna - who sees herself as a feminist madam - and she also speaks with ‘Alexandria’ - one of Anna’s very satisfied customers.

Sun, 03 Nov 2024 - 606 - The Vulva Photographer [re-release]
Today, you’re going to hear a conversation about vulvas. And it’s not something we speak about often. But our guest today has made a living out of photographing them.
Ellie Sedgwick is a body-positive, nude photographer who founded Comfortable In My Skin, a movement empowering people to love the skin they’re in. But, Ellie hasn’t always felt comfortable with her own vulva - she’s gone from being scared to wear swimmers… to considering labiaplasty… to driving around the country to photograph other women’s vulvas for her book, ‘Flip Through My Flaps’.
Listen to the second part of this interview here.

Fri, 01 Nov 2024 - 605 - Bethany Joy Lenz Was On A Hit TV Show And In A Cult At The Same Time (Part 1)
[Part 1 of 2] Bethany Joy Lenz has been in two cults.
The first is the cult-classic TV series, One Tree Hill, where she played the role of Haley for ten years, alongside cast members Sophia Bush and Chad Michael Murray.
Yet, what few people knew is that the entire time she was on the iconic show, she was in another kind of cult - the dangerous, isolating, manipulative kind.
In this Australian exclusive, she shares her story with Mia Freedman and explains how she found herself in a cult to begin with, what it cost her - literally and figuratively - and what finally helped her find the courage to leave.
Bethany Joy Lenz has written an incredible memoir about her experience, Dinner For Vampires - you can find it here.

We bring you an episode of CANCELLED, which is all about Ballerina Farm.
Today we are diving into the world of ‘Trad Wives’ and more specifically the world of Ballerina Farm which is both a brand and a woman. Hannah Neeleman is a mumfluencer, a mother of eight children and has amassed a huge 10 million followers on Instagram who follow her literally churning butter and collecting eggs from her chickens. Seems wholesome right? Wrong (kinda).
Her charges include competing in a beauty pageant just two weeks postpartum, pretending to be poor but owning a $30,000 stove and a birthday present which is the stuff of nightmares (but that was technically her husband’s fault). We unpack all.Plus, more of your lazy gewl stories.

Wed, 23 Oct 2024 - 603 - The Trad Wife Life Of Ballerina Farm’s Hannah Neeleman
Trad Wives like Hannah Neeleman and her Ballerina Farm empire have captured our imagination - and divided our opinions.
Trad Wives are an Instagram phenomenon using highly-produced content to promote traditional family values - specifically, the idea that women would be happier if they stayed home and served their husbands and children, trading in a life of career-focused grind culture for a life of content domesticity - and nobody sells this idea better than Hannah Neeleman.
Megan Agnew is a journalist for the Times UK and she managed to spend a day with Hannah, her husband Daniel and their eight children on the notoriously hard to penetrate Ballerina Farm - she saw behind the scenes…and what she saw is very different than what we see on Instagram.
Megan Agnew’s article went viral and sparked a million think pieces and spurred some very strong reactions…including from the Neelemans themselves.
So what is behind the Trad Wife movement - and is it just harmless entrepreneurship, or is there a darker, more serious ideology behind it?
You can follow Megan Agnew here.
You can listen to our episode with Tia Levings - who barely escaped her trad wife life, here.

Sun, 20 Oct 2024 - 601 - Introducing 'Everyone Has An Ex': Double Trouble
Young love. Remember that?! Meeting someone at your part time hospo job where you’re together every night, you start making eyes at each other and one thing leads to another - soon, you’re spending the night at their family home and having dinner with their parents. Well that’s exactly how Emily met Josh.
And when you meet so young, it really only goes one of two ways. You either grow up and apart, or you grow together. Like Emily and Josh. After seven years, they knew each other like the back of their own hands and trusted each other implicitly. At not even 30 years old, life was only just beginning. Or was it more a case of it being the beginning of the end?

[Part 1 of 2] This episode is going to help you have better relationships - and understand the bad ones you’ve had in the past - or might still be having.
Because the origin of every relationship we have is our attachment style, and knowing what yours is and how that affects the way you interact with people and the romantic partners you choose can be a game-changer.
Mia talks to clinical psychologist and attachment theory expert, Dr. Morgan Anderson, about all things attachment styles and so much more, like: what exactly is the “ick”, what is breadcrumbing, and why do we tend to be attracted to people who may not be so good for us.You can hear part two of Mia's conversation here.

Sun, 13 Oct 2024 - 599 - Anna Martin Almost Lost Her Life To Gambling
Sometimes, a story can save a life. This is one of those stories.
Anna Martin is a recovering gambling addict who, as you’ll hear, almost lost her life to this insidious industry.
Anna gambled in the shadows. She didn’t want anyone to know about her gambling habits, or the risks she was taking, or just how bad it got…to the point where she almost lost her life.
Shame and secrecy are killers. And gambling is shrouded in shame and secrecy. So it’s no small thing for Anna to share her story with No Filter.
Anna has turned her experience into action to help others through the Untangled Project - you can find out more about them here: Instagram: @theuntangleprojectaus
If you or someone you know needs help - the following organisations are a good place to start: GHLEE (Gambling Harm Lived Experience Experts)

Sun, 29 Sep 2024 - 596 - My Parents Held Me Captive At Sea For 10 Years
You can hear the second half of Mia's conversation with Suzanne here.
When Suzanne Heywood and her little brother were told by their parents that they’d be leaving the UK, leaving school, leaving their friends and their dog to go and sail around the world for three years…Suzanne had her doubts - but like so many little girls, she trusted her father - he was her hero.
But as you’ll hear in this captivating story, there is a fine line between adventure and survival. Between an extended family holiday and being held captive…by your parents.
What was supposed to be a three year journey turned into a ten year odyssey where Suzanne was severely injured, put in very unsafe environments as a teenage girl, and ultimately abandoned.
This story is kind of like a Greek Myth or an Action-Adventure complete with shipwrecks and desert islands…but for Suzanne, it was her life. And it’s her story. Listen now only on No Filter with Mia Freedman.
You can find Suzanne’s memoir here.

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 - 595 - Paulina Porizkova: The Supermodel Who Dared To Grow Old On Instagram
For many years Paulina Porizkova was the most recognized face in fashion & beauty - from her iconic Sports Illustrated cover to being the face of Estee Lauder. When she married rock star Ric Ocastek from the iconic band, The Cars. From the outside looking in, it seemed like she was living the dream.
To look at her, she really did seem like the woman who had it all. But while Paulina was as visible as you could be…she didn’t feel like she was being heard. Not by the photographers and fashion people, not by producers and directors, and not by her husband, Ric.
But then, during COVID, she became known to a whole new generation of women for an unlikely reason…crying on Instagram. And as you’re about to hear - Paulina had a lot of really good reasons to cry. (But, she also gets the last laugh).
When Paulina hit her low point, she shared her grief and pain - and tears - with Instagram. As you’ll hear, Paulina had a lot of reasons to cry (and a lot of new reasons to laugh).
You can follow Paulina on Instagram here.

Sun, 15 Sep 2024 - 594 - I Had My Daughter’s Baby... At 52
Hugo and Spencer live with their loving parents, Michelle and Jono, and are surrounded by extended family, including their grandmother Jasmina and their Auntie Sophie.
But how Hugo and Spencer came to be in the world is a very unique and unusual story: their grandmother Jasmina and their aunt Sophie were actually - also - their surrogate mothers.
Why did Jasmina decide to be a surrogate for her daughter…at 52 years old? And how did her pregnancy go? How did she feel about the baby? How does it work now? What will they tell the boys when they're older? And - how did this decision come about to begin with?
This is a story about the great love that can emerge from great loss, and of great sacrifice and generosity, of motherhood and grandmotherhood - really, this is a love story like no other we’ve heard before.

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.

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.

When Remington and his husband Alain welcomed three children into their home 18 months ago, as foster parents, they knew their lives would never be the same. What they didn't know is how long their children would stay.
In Australia, thousands of children find themselves in foster care for various reasons: neglect, abuse, trauma or simply their biological parents can't afford to raise them.
Remington Meyer talks to Mia Freedman in this No Filter episode about the deeply emotional journey of bringing kids into their lives and what it's like shifting your world from just a quiet couple to a vibrant house of five.
And he answers the question: how do you open your heart knowing you might have to say goodbye?
If you’re interested in being a foster carer, please contact Anglicare Southern Queensland via their website or call 1300 000 828 or head to Barnardos Australia.

Wed, 22 May 2024 - 575 - Patric Gagne Is A Sociopath
You can hear the second half of Mia's conversation with Patric here.
Subscribe to Mamamia
Patric Gagne is not what most people picture when they hear the word ‘sociopath’. For example, she’s married and has two children. She’s a functioning member of society. She has friends.Sociopaths tend to lie, break laws, act impulsively and they have little regard for their own safety because they simply don’t have fear or guilt. All these things are true for Patric.
In this conversation Patric talks to Mia Freedman about the emotions she doesn't feel, the signs that popped up when she was a child and what it's like being friends with a sociopath.
It’s believed just under 5% of the population are sociopaths, that’s one in 25 people. That’s why Patric wrote her memoir Sociopaths, to share what it’s really like.
Patric's book Sociopaths is available hereTHE END BITS:

Sun, 04 Feb 2024 - 556 - Poppy King Is Back, Baby
In 1991, Poppy King launched a range of seven matt lipsticks, named after the seven deadly sins. She was 19 years old.
Within three years, the company had grown to be one of the biggest cosmetic companies in Australia. In 1995 she received the Young Australian Of The Year award and that year the company made a profit of $6.5 million.
A few years later though, Poppy shut it down and moved to the US.
Poppy has always been a leader, not a follower and she’s always been an original thinker in a way that has not necessarily made it easy for her.Which is what makes her next move so unexpected.
Check out Poppy King's cult classic lipsticks from the 90's, re-released here.THE END BITS:

Sun, 28 Jan 2024 - 555 - Not Just Another Ghost Story With Tristan Redman
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.THE END BITS:

You're not alone.
It has been SO HARD to focus lately. So hard to hold our attention for longer than a goldfish can. Is it COVID? Is it technology? And….is it our fault?
If you ask Mia's guest today, Johann Hari, author of the best-selling book Stolen Focus - he’ll tell you it’s not. Because we haven’t lost our focus… it’s not like something we misplaced. Our focus has deliberately been stolen from us.

Sun, 18 Jun 2023 - 518 - David Limbrick’s First Girlfriend Was Murdered By A Serial Killer
In the early 1990s, 21-year-old Paul Denyer terrorised the Victorian suburb of Frankston. He preyed on the local women; stalking, abducting, and eventually murdering three young victims.
Their names were Elizabeth Stevens, Deborah Fream, and Natalie Russell.
David Limbrick was Natalie Russell’s boyfriend at the time. He was just 19 when Natalie was found, and his life was forever changed. David went on to become a member of the Victorian Parliament, representing the suburb of Frankston. So in 2021, when Paul Denyer applied for parole for a 2023 release, David, along with other family members of the victims started a very public campaign. This is his story…

With thanks to David Limbrick

Mon, 05 Jun 2023 - 516 - Elise Loehnen Walked Away From Fame & Money For A Smaller (Better) Life
Listen to part two of Mia's interview with Elise, here.
You’d probably recognise Elise Loehnen’s face because, in her role as Chief Content Officer at Goop, she hosted the Goop Lab TV show on Netflix and the Goop podcast alongside the company's founder, Gwyneth Paltrow.
But that fact is probably the least interesting thing about Elise Loehnen. In 2021, Elise walked away from her extremely high-profile job to launch a podcast and write her book. And her book On Our Best Behaviour,has blown our minds. As women, we congratulate ourselves when we resist the donut in the office kitchen. We celebrate our restraint when we hold back from sending an email in anger. We put others' needs ahead of our own and believe this makes us exemplary. But Elise is asking…does it?
This book and this conversation has changed the way Mia see’s the world and the way she sees herself...and we’re excited that it’s going to do the same for you.
THE END BITS:
With thanks to Elise Loehnen.

Lisa Messenger always thought she’d be an entrepreneur, not a mother.

Over 8 years, Lisa had 16 rounds of IVF and spent over $500,000 trying to conceive. She even came close to adopting.
But it wasn’t until her friend Sarah Megginson offered to help that she had a chance.
And now, her baby is due in August…

Sun, 14 May 2023 - 512 - Why Megan Phelps-Roper Sat Down With J. K. Rowling
If the name Megan Phelps-Roper doesn’t immediately ring a bell for you, her former church and home might - the incredibly controversial and almost universally despised Westboro Baptist Church. Megan was raised in the church and from just 5 years of age, was on the picket line day and night hoping to save those her family believe needed to be saved.
10 years ago, Megan left the church. And she’s since made a living by using her own example of how her belief system could be challenged to show the power of changing people’s minds through conversations in good faith. Which, is what led her to this year, make a podcast called The Witch Trials Of J. K. Rowling.
Megan sat down with Rowling and discussed why she believes the things she does. It’s been met with a fair amount of controversy, but it’s not about choosing a ‘side’ for Megan. It’s about listening, learning, and conversation
THE END BITS:
With thanks to Megan Phelps-Roper.
You can buy her book Unfollow at any good bookstore, and listen to The Witch Trials of J.K Rowling in your podcast app.
