Bit of a heavier topic today friends, so please find the links below for help if anything in this episode brings up feelings + emotions for you.

Grief is a universal feeling, Grief can change you, you can feel grief about a lot of things. But for First Nations people the feeling of grief comes at a much younger age than most.

It's passed down through generational trauma, and unfortunately with the First Nations community experiencing a higher percentage of loss, it means grief is a big part of who we are.

Today Brooke and Matty share their grief and what they do to help work on themselves and make their burden of grief easier to bear.

Brooke and Matty are taking on different personas today when they take on each other in some drama inspired improv games!

Think peak drama class when you're in high school.

Matty turns into a Karen at a restaurant and a very rude man wanting a flight upgrade, plus we play the question game and one word scenes.

We've decided Brooke is too trusting and is 1000% susceptible to being roped into a cult!

But that's not how this chat started... Have you seen the documentary on 7M The Tik Tok dancing cult? We're obsessed and so we're diving into the world of cults and some of the strangest - including one right here in Aus!

Plus, we can't help but notice a little similarity between The Stolen Generations and cults.

The time has come! One of us is starting a journey to have a baby!

It's an exciting time, so we're chatting all about it and what the process will look like.
As well as what types of baby names we like and what names we definitely wouldn't be using for our kids.
