  • Our Trauma and Triggers

    TW: There is some heavy trauma discussed in this episode. 

    Today's episode is a lot about childhood, mob and being back on country... but how that can also create some triggers for us now. 

    E;g Brooke has a fear of vomiting from her childhood whereas Matty struggles with blood + needles. 
    So we're sharing those stories today on how we got those triggers, how we are helping to heal those triggers and how we hope to use our experiences to help younger mob now.

  • Matty's Awkward Social Media Cull

    Matty's recently tried to curate his social media a bit more to make it an intentional space, but it's gotten him into a bit of an awkward spot when his friends found out. 

    Which leads us into a chat about social media etiquette and how long you can wait before unfollowing people. 

    Plus we're tackling some article headlines and telling you the true story behind them. And Brook shares some moments that she's felt unsafe around paparazzi especially after the Bachelorette filming.

  • First Things First: Let's Chat Jan 26th

    Welcome to the brand new version of our podcast - First Things First.

    There's a lot of misinformation and not enough education on why Australia Day should be celebrated on a day other than Jan 26th, and we're aiming to help with that today. 

    Brooke and Matty also chat about their experience growing up celebrating Australia Day at school, and how those memories contributed to them feeling triggered by the Australian Flag now. 

    Plus why Indigenous communities call Jan 26th, invasion Day or Survival Day and how allies can help.
