In this powerful first episode of Access Granted, Lowanna sits down with author, media personality and mental health advocate Brooke Blurton for an honest, deeply personal conversation grounded in love, truth and healing.

Brooke, a proud Noongar–Yamatji woman, reflects on growing up in Carnarvon on Noongar Ballardong Country, navigating an itinerant childhood held together by community and the deep love of mob, and the profound loss of her mum and nanna at just 11 years old. She speaks tenderly about her nanna Charlotte, a storyteller, protector and cultural teacher and the ways her strength, creativity and spirit continue to guide her.

The conversation moves through Brooke’s journey of becoming: from writing Big Love as an act of vulnerability and healing, to meeting her big sister Rhiannon for the very first time, and unpacking what it has meant to always be the protector, and finally allow herself to be held.
Brooke also opens up about self-care, softness, and what looking after herself truly means in this season of life, as well as reflecting on her groundbreaking role as the first LGBTQI+ and First Nations Bachelorette and the responsibility that came with it.

This episode is a gentle, powerful reminder of the strength found in story, the healing carried by love, and the quiet beauty of choosing yourself.
