In a world of New Year, New Me promises, Celeste Barber has built a career on doing the opposite. She keeps it real—big knickers, unflattering angles, and a refusal to pretend life is anything other than messy.

Celeste built a global following by parodying celebrity perfection and making millions of people laugh on Instagram. But in this episode of No Filter, she steps away from the selfies and punchlines to talk about the parts of her life the internet rarely sees.

In this candid conversation with Kate Langbroek, Celeste opens up about the chaos of her childhood, her ADHD diagnosis, the burnout that nearly broke her, and the pressure of being the internet’s favourite funny woman. She talks honestly about her marriage to ‘Hot Husband’ Api, what it’s like raising kids under public scrutiny, and the work she’s done to decide which parts of her life stay private.

She reflects on what fame has given her, what it’s taken, and why resisting the urge to constantly “fix” herself has become an act of self-preservation.

Yes, she’s hilarious. But she’s also thoughtful, vulnerable, and still figuring it out—one small, imperfect win at a time.

This is the real Celeste Barber, beyond the selfies, the knickers, and the punchlines.

New Year, Same Me — Celeste Barber Keeps It Real

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/30589c73-7bb3-4b33-801d-b3b4001e7988/transcript

When it's just Jess and David, everything is fabulous. But in public, Jess feels like a secret. David doesn't post photos of them, he hasn't introduced her to his family, and she barely knows his friends. Jess is left feeling like a "side piece," good enough for him, but not for his image.

In this session, a couple confronts the painful gap between their private connection and their public life. They’re facing different definitions of what constitutes cheating, a history of trust issues, and the raw feeling of being ashamed by the person you love.

Introducing: This Is Why We Fight. Jess & David Have Different Definitions Of Cheating

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/eaa567e7-bb3c-4e71-bd8a-b3b3017caf39/transcript

By the time you’re listening to this, Tanya Hennessy will have welcomed her baby girl. So this conversation now lands in a very different chapter of her life.

Tanya has never shied away from letting us into her world. Behind the jokes and the videos that rack up millions of views, she has been open about living with endometriosis, navigating fertility treatment, and the long stretch of heartbreak that came with desperately wanting a baby.

In this episode of No Filter, Tanya sits down with Kate Langbroek to talk about the road that led her here. She reflects on the years of uncertainty, the emotional toll of trying to conceive, and what it was like to finally reach a moment she once worried might never come.

In this conversation, you’ll hear about:


Living publicly through infertility and endometriosis


The fear, hope and vulnerability that shaped Tanya’s fertility journey


What it meant to finally share her pregnancy after so many setbacks


How humour helped her survive some of the hardest years of her life

Funny, emotional and deeply honest, this is Tanya Hennessy in full voice—open, unfiltered, and profoundly human.
