It’s been 18 months since Evelyn Jones burst onto our screens—fictional, yes, but her story couldn’t feel more real to the women who brought her to life.

In this special episode of No Filter, host Jessie Stephens—who is also a writer on the show and Mamamia’s Executive Editor—is joined by Mia Freedman, whose memoir Work, Strife, Balance inspired the hit Binge series Strife, along with Asher Keddie, who plays Evelyn, and executive producer Bruna Papandrea.

They reflect on Season 1, including Mia’s emotional spiral before the premiere, and give us a sneak peek at what’s to come in Season 2, dropping Thursday, May 8.

Together, these powerhouse creatives open up about what it means to be a woman in the media and entertainment industry today—the competition, the comparisons, the fear of cancellation, and the constant balancing act between public and private life.

And of course, they talk about ambition: what it costs, why it matters, and how the world still struggles when women dare to want more.

Season 2 of Strife premieres on Binge Thursday May 8th,.

Georgia Love — and yes, that is her real name — has always had a lot of love to give.

Almost a decade ago, she stepped onto our screens as The Bachelorette, searching for just that: love. She found it, too, forming a relationship in the public eye that captured hearts around the country. But now, almost ten years on, that same relationship is ending — also in full view of the public.

Georgia is no stranger to loss — both the kind she has chosen to share with the world, and the kind she's fought fiercely to keep private.
In this conversation, you'll hear:

• Georgia discuss losing her mum just days after her Bachelorette finale aired
• The very public cancellation she endured that still stings...
• Stepping away from her career, a heartbreaking friendship breakup, and the ways in which she's been changed by public scrutiny.
• And, of course, her very recent separation from her husband, and how she's picking up the pieces.

Georgia has weathered more storms than most. Each time, she's picked herself up, rebuilt her life, and somehow stayed open-hearted. Resilient, vulnerable, and tougher than she often gets credit for, Georgia Love is a woman who has lived many lives in one.
