  • We Still Struggle a Lot Too
    Jun 17 2024

    Trigger Warning: This episode features discussions of self harm, disordered eating and alcoholic tendencies. Please see our resources below if anything in this episode brings up anything for you.

    Today's episode is an incredibly raw and personal one.

    Both Brooke and Matty have been working to give up some of their vices.
    Matty has been tackling sobriety and Brooke has been focussing on strengthening her relationships.

    This has also led her to treating herself better and her realisation that she has been using food as a way of self harm.

  • Why First Nations Representation is SO Important
    Jun 3 2024

    Today we're chatting representation - in particular representation with First Nations people in media!

    We want to explain why it's so important and also how intergenerational trauma plays into why First Nations people don't always feel strong enough to fight for it.
