In February 2014 Rosie’s world was uprooted. Her only  son Luke was murdered in an incomprehensible and brutal act of family violence by his father Greg Anderson while he was at cricket practice.

Luke was 11 years old…

Rosie could have fallen into a dark hole that day and never returned.  But she didn’t let herself.

 Today on No Filter the current Australian of the year speaks to Mia Freedman about life after Luke and what she plans to do next.

No Filter is hosted by Mia Freedman and produced by Elissa Ratliff.

[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.

You can hear part two of Mia's conversation here.

What It's Like To Hire A Male Escort

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.

With thanks to Ellie Sedgwick. Follow her at Comfortable In My Skin here.

The Vulva Photographer [re-release]

[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.

You can hear part two of Mia's conversation here.
