What have you lost since...well, since COVID-19? Some things are really obvious, like job loss or a lost routine, but others are not so obvious, like how having those things made us feel. In this episode of Health Speak, Penny Terry talks with Dan who is currently dealing with what he’s lost, and checks in with mental health clinical Caroline Thain from Headspace, who gives us some practical ways to support people dealing with loss, even when we can’t pop round for a visit.

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.

Helping each other deal with our new lives, from our home.

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.
SHOW NOTES:Dr Nicholas Hookway drew his four points from colleague Associate Professor of Sociology at Woolongong University Roger Patulny.

Do you really know how much COVID has changed your bank account?

Does it take a crisis (or pandemic) for us to think a bit more deeply about what’s going on for other people? If so, what are the skills that we need to be a useful crisis buddy? In this episode Penny Terry takes a look at those little things that people are doing to keep an eye on others. We continue to follow the experience of tourism and hospitality manager Bianca Welsh who explains what she’s doing in her workplace to keep an eye on her employees and describes that extra weight of responsibility that we’re all feeling right now to support others. Mental Health Clinician Caroline Thain gives us the 101 of the ‘check-in’ conversation while Dr Nicholas Hookway, Senior Lecturer in Sociology at University of Tasmania, reminds us of the special role that community groups play in keeping us connected, and how we maintain these connections during a pandemic. Which is no surprise to our favourite fitness instructor Kylie Moore who describes how she’s seen the lives of her clients change once they become a member of a community group. Plus, it wouldn’t be an episode about helping others through a crisis if we didn’t talk about food; our ‘go-to’ supporting tool! Dietitian Ngaire Hobbins gives us some tips to make sure our efforts to provide for others doesn’t go to waste.

Are you more 'in tune' with other people right now?

For many of us we feel like we’re just getting on with life, despite social distancing. But when we stop and think about how many little things have changed in our lives since we were first told to keep 1.5 meters distance and clean ALL THE THINGS…. there’s a fair old list! First up in this episode Penny chats with the marvellous Maureen Lacey and Kylie Moore as we take a look at what it’s been like implementing the practical changes in workplaces and the 'interesting' ways in which people respond. Plus Bianca Welsh from the tourism and hospitality industry gets us thinking about the many new policies and procedures and how they have changed people’s relationship with work. Which leads us into a conversation about the ‘feels’ of social distancing. Dr Nicholas Hookway, Senior Lecturer in Sociology at University of Tasmania helps us to understand loneliness and its distinction from social isolation. Then we check back in again with mental Health Clinician Caroline Thain who’s got some great hacks for reminding others to maintain their distance, and Clinical Psychologist David Bakker is back to help us understand and ‘do’ self-care.
