Sara Bareilles Still Won't Write You A Love Song

Sara Bareilles has built a career on being brave enough to tell the truth, even when it hurts. In this episode of No Filter, she opens up about the story behind her breakthrough hit Love Song... and it’s not what you think. Sara reflects on the pressures she faced growing up, the challenges of trying to fit in, and a letter she once wrote to her 17-year-old self. Along the way, she shares the lessons she’s learned about resilience, creativity, and finding your voice in a world that often tells you to stay small. Her hit musical Waitress is now coming to Australia, and if you’ve ever needed a reminder that it’s never too late to start again, this conversation and Sara’s music, will give it to you.

‘Crazy Cousin’ Amy Saw Everything The Infamous Duggars Tried To Hide

For years, the Duggar family was one of America’s most famous and most controversial reality TV dynasties. Their show 19 Kids and Counting turned their strict religious beliefs and enormous family into entertainment. But behind the carefully controlled public image was a much darker reality. Amy Duggar King, known to viewers as the “rebel” or “crazy cousin,” grew up alongside the Duggars, but her childhood looked very different. Now she’s telling her story about what it was really like growing up on the fringes of that world, what she saw happening behind the scenes, and why she refuses to stay silent. In this episode of No Filter, Amy opens up about family loyalty, generational trauma, and how she’s reclaiming her voice after years of being told to be quiet.

At 37, Lucy Ormonde Joined A 'Boob Club'

Lucy Ormonde thought she was too young to get breast cancer. She wasn’t. At 37, Lucy believed she was healthy, she had no family history or any of the risk factors we generally associate with cancer. But cancer found her anyway. In this special episode of No Filter, Holly Wainwright speaks with Lucy to mark the end of Breast Cancer Awareness month. No woman in Australia hasn't been touched in some way by breast cancer. And Lucy has some hard-won wisdom to share with us: like, what's the most useful stuff you can do when somebody is right in that heat of finding out that everything in their life has shifted in just a few words that came out of their doctor's mouth, why it's not over when it's officially over, and what really happens to your priorities and your life when you go through something as profound as this. You can find Lucy's Substack 'A Year of Healing' here. More information on the Breast Cancer Network Australia here.

In this conversation, Sarah shares her journey with honesty, courage, and compassion.

Laura Brown and Kristina O’Neill Had the Coolest Jobs in Magazines - Then They Got Fired

Laura Brown and Kristina O’Neill had the kind of jobs most people only dream about. They were the women behind some of the world’s most glamorous magazines — InStyle, Harper’s Bazaar, WSJ. Magazine — sitting front row at fashion week, rubbing shoulders with celebs on covershoots, and setting the cultural agenda. But then, both of them got fired. In an industry built on power, prestige, and appearances, being shown the door at the very top should have been devastating. Instead, it sparked a friendship, a book, and a movement. Their manifesto All the Cool Girls Get Fired is about stripping away the shame of job loss and reframing it as a rite of passage. In this conversation with Kate Langbroek, Laura and Kristina open up about what it’s really like to lose your dream job, the night out that led to their viral “all the cool girls get fired” post, and how even icons like Oprah and Lisa Kudrow have their own firing stories. It’s about friendship, resilience, and reinvention — and why getting fired might just be the best thing that ever happens to you.

Clare Stephens Was Always ‘The Twin’ or ‘The Editor.’ What Happened When She Walked Away?

Clare Stephens has spent more than a decade telling other people’s stories — as a writer, editor, podcaster, and now, novelist. As Senior Editor at Mamamia, she helped shape the conversations that defined a generation. But stepping away from the brand, the platform, and the noise forced her to ask: Who am I, really? In this conversation, Clare opens up about the emotional toll of being cancelled online, the experience of being constantly compared to her twin sister, and the fear - and freedom - that came with walking away from the brand where she built her name. With her debut novel The Worst Thing I’ve Ever Done about to be released, Clare speaks candidly about the uncomfortable exploration of cancel culture, morality, and what happens when you become the villain in someone else’s story.
