How much thinking have you done about money since the pandemic started? How much you’ve got, how much you’ve lost, how much you’ve saved, how much you’re entitled to, how much you’ll need to get through to whenever this thing ends?! In this episode Penny Terry takes a look at how this pandemic has affected the money that is going in and out of our bank accounts, and in and out of our communities. We get into the nitty gritty of actually looking at your spending with financial planner Nick D’Emden from Findex in Launceston. Sarah from the Low Head Tourist park shares a little about how she’s re-looking at her future business opportunities. Mental health clinician Caroline Thain helps us with those tricky money conversations, and also gets us wondering how we continue to care about this pandemic even when, at some stages, it can feel gone. We then catch up again with Dr Nicolas Hookway, sociologist and Senior Lecturer at the University of Tasmania about how we can create better community structures to help us live well during a pandemic into the future. Plus some thoughts from our favourite fitness instructor Kylie Moore and real estate agent Maureen Lacey about how we prepare for the future.

In our 3rd Season of Health Speak, Penny Terry goes looking for those key life-skills that we need to live well through a pandemic (with others and within our own minds)! Over five episodes, this season will go beyond hand hygiene and the basics of social distancing to discover what other key skills people are using to 'deal' with this pandemic... and successfully get on with their lives. 

So if you could do with some tips on how to cope with change and uncertainty, work out what 'self-care' really means (and actually fit it into your day-to-day), or if you're wondering how to politely ask someone to 'stick to the rules' and nail that conversation respectfully - then this is the podcast for you. Or perhaps you're keen to find out how to maintain good habits (and drop the bad ones) that you started during isolation, or need to take a fresh view of your pandemic-budget, well we've got you covered. Plus, we'll pick up some skills to manage pandemic-exhaustion and how we can continue to care even if sometimes COVID-19 feels 'gone'.

As she does, Penny will cut through the really complex stuff, so you can leave each conversation knowing you can be helpful rather than helpless..

A COVID-kit of life-skills helping you live well during a pandemic.
