Your environment shapes your mindset, habits, and opportunities—but it doesn't have to define your future.In this episode, I sit down with Matty Mills, a proud indigenous Australian TV presenter and storyteller, to explore how you can break free from limiting environments, take control of your path, and create a future on your own terms. Matty's journey—from growing up in hardship and foster care to becoming a national voice in media—proves that where you start doesn't determine where you can go. He talks about overcoming self-doubt, taking action even when the odds are against you, and making bold choices that lead to drastic change. If you've ever felt trapped by your surroundings or stuck in a cycle you want to break, this conversation will give you the tools and mindset shifts you need to redefine your future on your own terms.

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.

Today's episode of Something To Talk About is released on the eve of Mother's Day – an occasion that for some, is a day of celebration, yet for others is a reminder of grief and isolation.  Media personality, author and youth worker Brooke Blurton is one who approaches Mother's Day with conflicted emotions, having lost her mother when she was just 11.  Joining host Sarrah Le Marquand for this special episode, Brooke reflects on grief; celebrating the legacies of her mother and her grandmother; taking on the role of matriarch within her family - and how seeing her mum's life cut short at only 34 has instilled a sense of urgency in her to experience and achieve as much as she can. She also reveals the family tradition that will see Brooke honour her mother's memory in a very beautiful way if she has a daughter of her own one day… Brooke Blurton co-hosts First Things First alongside Matty Mills, which you can listen to here. You can also find more from her via @brooke.blurton on Instagram.  You can listen to Brooke's previous episode of Something To Talk About here.  If you or someone you know needs support, visit beyondblue.org.au For mother loss support, visit motherlessdaughters.com.au To see Stellar's special Mother's Day cover story featuring Brooke Blurton, Sarah Davidson, Fifi Box and Ellie Gonsalves head to @stellarmag or pick up a copy inside The Sunday Telegraph (NSW), Sunday Herald Sun (VIC), The Sunday Mail (QLD) and Sunday Mail (SA)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
