Lisa Wilkinson was one of the most recognisable faces in Australian media.

Then, almost overnight, she was gone.

In this episode of No Filter, she sits down with Kate Langbroek to unpack what led to that moment, and what came after.

From her early career in magazines to the highs and pressures of breakfast television, Lisa reflects on the roles that defined her, and what it meant to lose them.

She speaks candidly about not getting the chance to say goodbye, becoming the focus of intense public scrutiny, and navigating a period that forced her to reassess everything.

At the same time, she was writing her most ambitious project yet, a book about Titanic survivor Evelyn Marsden, a story that became both an escape and a way through.

This is a conversation about success, backlash, identity, and the reality of starting again.
