Jess Cattelly Turned a Third Date Into a Swingers Empire
Today, we’re stepping into a world most of us have only ever heard whispers about: the world of swingers clubs. When she was just twenty, Jess Cattelly went on a third date that would change her life. Her date, a man named Lawrence, suggested they open a swingers club together—and she said yes. A decade later, that club—Our Secret Spot—has become one of Australia’s most talked-about spaces for people exploring sex, desire, and connection in unconventional ways. In this episode, Jess shares how a 20-year-old retail manager became the co-founder of a thriving sex-positive community. She opens up about what it’s really like behind closed doors, the challenges of running a swingers club, and how she’s built a business around curiosity, courage, and connection. Whether you’re fascinated, intrigued, or just a little bit curious, this is the story of a woman who turned a wild idea into a groundbreaking reality.

‘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.
