This is Mumma MIA's twice hourly news podcast, The Quickie. Have you heard of lemonading? No, it's not about making a refreshing summer drink, though after hearing this you might want want anyway. It's actually a new method to add to your mental health toolkit for when live throws you those unexpected curveballs. But before we get into that, here's the news headlines for Monday, June two. A day after announcing to the world that she'd successfully brought back the masters of her first six albums, Taylor Swift celebrated with Selena Gomez in New York. Swift has been in a long battle with those who've owned her music in the past. At one stage, when they were sold to Scooter Braun's company, she described how she'd try to get them back when they belonged to Big Machine Records, only to be told she could earn them back one at a time for every new album she makes. Instead, decided to go her own way when her music was sold to Braun's company. She said she found out at the same time as everyone else, and at no stage was she offered the opportunity to buy them herself, something she says she was very disappointed with. Braun's company only owned the catalog for just under two years before selling them again to Shamrock Capital. Meanwhile, Swift was still trying to gain the rights back while also re recording four of the six albums, which were renamed Taylor's version. On Saturday, she posted to social media, you Belong with Me with a picture of her surrounded by her six albums. The next night, she was spotted out with her bestie Selena at the Monkey Bar deep in conversation. Australia could challenge the US of the World Trade Organization after Donald Trump announced his plan to double tariff's on steel from twenty five to fifty percent. All Australian goods are also subject to a ten percent baseline tariff. The moves branded an active economic self harm by Prime Minister Anthony Alberizi, who's expected to sit down with Trump on the sidelines of the summit in Canada later this month. Australia's Minister for Climate Change and Energy Chris Bowen was asked if Australia would challenge the tariffs at the World Trade Organization. Bowen responded saying they will consider all options available to defend the best interests of the Australian industry. Trade Minister Don Farrell said the government would also continue to coolly and calmly argue its case for the removal of the tariffs. The families of Australian travelers Holly Bowls and Bianca Jones, who died after drinking methanol lays drinks at a backpackers in Lao, are outraged that the establishment's former manager is opening a new resort. The man known locally as Pikachu, fled lout to Vietnam in the wake of the deaths, but has since revealed that he's involved in the opening of the new Sunrise Mountain View Resort, which is just four hundred and fifty meters down the road from the now closed Nana Backpackers where the girls died. The resort has denied he has any involvement with their business, but he's been posting images of the property under construction, saying they would be welcoming guests After a month, the finishers. The girl's parents told nine News they are angry at the news. In the six months since the traveler's deaths, there's been an investigation, but no charges have been laid. Australian home values have set a record as falling interest rates send buyers back to the property market. The median in dwelling in Australia was worth just over eight hundred and thirty one thousand in May, a zero point five percent increase from April. Every capital city as well as the combined regions also showed zero point four percent growth, Buyers feeling more comfortable with their purchasing power as interest rates fall and with the potential for more downward movement to come. The growth is slower than twenty twenty four, with some cities like Perth experiencing a nineteen percent increase last year. Price rises have slowed in the West, up zero point seven percent in May, behind only Darwin at one point six percent, good news for renters with rent growth trending downwards, but Capital city vacancy still remained below the long term average, boosting prices. Net Overseas migration has moved back to normal level after the post COVID spike keeping demands steady but not excessive. Star Wars legend Mark Hamill aka Luke Skywalker, has said his days playing the character are over, urging the franchise to focus on fresh characters. The seventy three year old first played Skywalker in nineteen seventy seven, saying he's so grateful to George Lucas for letting him be a part of that back in the day, back when, he says, Lucas called the movies the most expensive low budget movie ever made. Hamill says they never expected it to become a permanent franchise or part of pop culture like it has, but he believes he's had his time and he appreciates it, but now the focus should be on the future and all the new characters. Hamill, who said he felt the heart was gone from Star Wars after the death of co star and longtime friend Carrie Fisher in twenty sixteen, joked that his exit from the last movie his character appeared in twenty seventeen's The Last Jedi, where he left his robes behind when he disappeared and it was revealed he was actually a ghost. He says he can't come back as a naked for that's what's happening in the world today. Next, Taylor Strano helps us understand lemonading.

We've all heard those frustrating responses when we're having a tough time. Just look on the bright side, or you'll be fine. It's what we call toxic positivity, and let's be honest, it's not actually particularly helpful. While we might try to maintain a sunny disposition, life simply doesn't work that way. Some days, the train is late, the sky opens up when you don't have an umbrella, and you stub your toe while racing through the living room, and that's just life. But there's a new approach making waves on social media, and unlike many trending topics, this one is actually backed by science. But obviously we have to give it a fun name, because otherwise what's the point. It's called lemonading. The term, coined by researchers at the University of Oregon, takes inspiration from that old saying when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. But rather than being another form of toxic positivity, it's actually a powerful psychological tool that's showing promising results. Doctor Sarah Quinn, president of the Australian Psychological Society explains that while lemonating isn't an established psychological condition, it describes how playful mindsets can help boost our resilience. There's also a key difference between this and toxic positivity. Lemonating doesn't try to minimize or eliminate painful emotions. Instead, it encourages us to view difficult situations through a creative and imaginative lens. A recent study from the University of Oregon has found that people who playfully reframe what's happening in their lives tend to develop a more optimistic outlook for the future. For example, during the pandemic, while people still felt the very real challenges of isolation and vulnerability, those who practice lemonating showed higher coping levels and engaged in more leader activities. What's particularly interesting is how this practice might actually rewire our brains for resilience. Each time we successfully reframe a difficult situation, we strengthen the neural pathways associated with adaptability and problem solving. Doctor Quinn explains that this process can trigger the release of endorphins and reduce cortisol levels, creating a positive feedback loop that makes us more likely to engage in healthy coping strategies. Now you might be thinking, but I'm not actually naturally playful, and the good news is, according to doctor Quinn, these skills can be learned, So all my Type A friends out there listen up. The key is to start small, perhaps by looking for one unexpected positive aspect in a minor inconvenience. As you become more comfortable with the process, you can apply it to increasingly challenging situations. Think of it like adding a new tool to your mental health toolkit. Doctor Quinn suggests taking inspiration from the people around you who naturally embody this approach. Think about those friends who always make you laugh and feel good. Their attitude can be an antidote to life's daily challenges. Remember, lemonating isn't about pretending everything is fine when it isn't. It's about expanding our mental flexibility to help us navigate uncertainty, adapt to change, and find innovative solutions to problems that we might otherwise seem insurmountable. So next time life hands you those proverbial lemons, try approaching the situation with curiosity rather than dread. You might just find opportunities for growth in places you least expect them.
