  • 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.

  • Our Pronouns and How We Identify
    Jun 10 2024

    In case you missed it, it's world pride month!!!
    So we are chatting all about our experience being a part of the queer community.

    Everything from the experience of being Indigenous and Queer to what our pronouns are and why we decided on them.

    Plus how we identify within our sexuality and why we push back against the boxes that society put on us.
