No Filter

Listen to the second half of Mia and Kate's conversation here. 

Kate Reid has lived three very different lives.

The first, as an engineer who worked at the most elite level of Formula 1 car racing. The second as a young woman consumed by anorexia to the point where she nearly died. And the third as the owner of a croissanterie called Lune, where she now makes some of the best croissants in the world. 

On this episode of No Filter, Kate Reid shares with Mia Freedman how the lowest moments in her life led her directly to where she is now...

If you or a loved one is dealing with anorexia, please get in touch with The Butterfly Foundation on 1800 33 4673. 

THE END BITS:

With thanks to Kate Reid

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.

Nobody plans to be divorced before they turn 30. But that’s exactly where Charlotte Ree found herself after the breakdown of the relationship that had consumed her whole adult life.

Charlotte moved out and into an apartment by herself, and 24 hours later the country went into lockdown. She threw herself into her other love, food, and started baking and cooking for neighbours, friends and even first dates. However it’s her story of falling in love with herself which is truly extraordinary.

This is Charlotte Ree’s story.

With thanks to Charlotte Ree. Order her book Heartbake here.

TV shows like Sex & The City and Friends would have us believe that we all need a tight-knit group of best friends who will always be there for us. But in reality making, and keeping friends, can get harder and harder as life gets in the way.

That’s why friends Rebecca Sparrow, Lise Carlaw and Sarah Wills created The Friendship Project; a six-part audio series that dives deep into what makes adult friendships work and the factors which make them unravel. And that’s what they sit down and unpack with Mia Freedman on this episode of No Filter.

Mary Coustas has graced Australian screens as 'Effie Stephanides' for over 30 years; the big haired, stand out character from Acropolis Now.

But behind the scenes, Mary is an open book. And when it comes to speaking about her experience as a later in life mother, growing up as a first generation Greek-Australian, and the pain of losing her father, she's unflinchingly raw and honest.

This is Mary Coustas' story.

Listen to the rest of Mia's conversation with Kate here...

It was after a dinner with friends one night, that journalist and writer Kate Legge’s husband pulled her into their garage to confess; he’d been having an affair. And as she later found out, it wasn’t the first time.

Being a journalist, Kate ended up doing some digging, and what she found out about his family history was shocking…and also potentially explained why he was unfaithful.

This is Kate Legge’s story.

THE END BITS:

With thanks to Kate Legge. Buy her book Infidelity and Other Affairs.
