Brooke Blurton on being separated from her siblings at 11

Hello! Today, we speak to Brooke Blurton. Brooke is a podcaster and content creator who first rose to fame after appearing on the 2018 season of The Bachelor. But there’s a lot more to Brooke’s story than her media notoriety. In this conversation, Brooke speaks about her childhood, the moment she found her Nan in the garden after her stroke, and how she made sense of being separated from her siblings after her Mum’s death. Brooke also speaks about her relationship with her girlfriend Mia, and how special it feels to finally feel ‘seen’. Brooke speaks so beautifully about grief, abandonment and love – and her resilience is very inspiring. Thank you so much to the Victorian Government for supporting this episode of Inherited.
