Lockdown can be seen in two ways - our worst nightmare, or an opportunity to re-evaluate, make changes, set new foundations and then take that back out into the world again. Are you ready to consider if the lenses through which you have viewed your life to date are the lenses that best reflect your true self? Gabrielle Caplice and Annette Baker join Lucy Dahill for another in-depth discussion on ease, unease and disease.

Do you have expectations? Who do they go to? How do they impact the relationships in your life? Who has them on you? In this episode youth advocate, teen expert and mother of three teenagers – Lucy Dahill – presents what expectations are, the flavour of fear teenagers have of disappointing their parents in the face of expectations, and how parents should understand the source of expectations so as to avoid unnecessary disappointment. Lucy talks about the three key areas that expectations appear in our lives as parents: expectations on ourselves, expectations on others, and expectations for ourselves. She also asks us to think about what WE do when we don’t meet expectations. Do we then set expectations on others so as to alleviate some of the pressure from the expectations that we are living under? She talks about how the expectations we set on others may clash with the expectations they have of us, and to understand that the communication of the underlying values within expectations is more important than just knowing what is right and wrong.

It is vital to look after yourself if you want to be able to nurture your relationships, but what does that look like on a practical basis? How do you fit 'you' into an already busy day? In this episode, youth advocate, teen expert, and mother of three teenagers, Lucy Dahill, discusses the importance of self-care for parents - including the consequences on the family due to lack of self-care, and the ways that parents can incorporate self-care WITHOUT having to add anything into their already busy schedules. Lucy explores the interesting concept of time vs. space, and how allowing ourselves time to do even the most simple tasks during the day can then give us the space that we are in need of for our self-care. She teaches us how to prevent stressing about how we will fit in time for ourselves within our busy schedule, but instead plan how will we fit our busy schedule around taking time for ourselves. There are simple ways that allow you to be more present in the activities you are already taking on in your day in order to fulfil the need for self-care. Some of these suggestions are as simple as drinking more water, but it is the attitude towards these suggestions that make all the difference. With the findings from the National Working Families Survey showing that working parents' most challenging issue is finding time to look after their own physical and mental health (two-thirds of working parents reporting feeling too emotionally and physically drained after work to contribute to the family), this podcast is more important than ever.

Are there skills we could and should be sharing with our teens that would ensure they felt more equipped to deal with what was in front of them? In this episode youth advocate, teen expert and mother of three teenagers – Lucy Dahill – looks at some of the key skills to share with your teen in order to help them become independent young adults who have the ability to handle whatever life throws at them. Life skills, also termed as psycho-social competence, is the ability to show adaptive and positive behaviour that enable humans to deal effectively with the demands and challenges of life. Lucy discusses how teaching your teens these life skills involves first embedding them in yourself and the way that you parent. She also states that life skills are important so that your teen can be responsible and accountable, they know who they are, they know what love is and that they are loved, they know truth and joy, they know how to be engaged in life, how to be committed to their job, how to care, and most of all how to be themselves in every situation.

Relationships between parents and teens change considerably in the teen years. The good news is, this is a positive - “it’s supposed to change”. So why does it not feel or sound so great at the time? What does a healthy relationship with your teens look like? Why is it important to support your teen with understanding how they relate to tension? How do you rebuild trust between you and your teen if the relationship hasn’t been what you’d like it to be? In episode 7 of the Teen Clinic Podcast youth advocate, teen expert and mother of three teenagers – Lucy Dahill – discusses the changing relationships teens experience with their friends and family, more notably their parents, as they become more independent. Lucy explores the correlation between the relationships parents have with the people around them and how that modelling of behaviour influences the way teens develop their own relationships during this crucial time. On top of this, she looks at how the digital world changes the dynamics of teen’s relationships and teen’s use of certain coping mechanisms, encouraging parents to target the source of these problems rather than the actual coping strategy. Lucy encourages you to support your teens to create new relationships and to set the standards of what is appropriate and respectful.

We build our teens up for 13 years to prepare for the HSC or their final exams and then cannot understand why we see such high rates of anxiety. How do we help our teens keep exams in perspective from the start? In this episode of the Teen Clinic Podcast youth advocate, teen expert, and mother of three teenagers - Lucy Dahill from Why Be You - discusses the pressure teens feel from impending exams and how parents can help them cope with their desire to succeed and fear of failure. Lucy explores the sources of exam stress including teachers, parents, peer-pressure, self-expectations, and societal-expectations. Furthermore, she encourages you to look at the coping mechanisms teens are using (such as alcohol and comfort food) and get a feel for whether they are beneficial for your teen (or not) even if you believe they personally help you to reduce stress. Lucy reminds us that your teen’s perspective of exams won’t change overnight and that it will take patience and role-modelling to make any notable shifts in teen behaviour.

Have we lost a generation to gaming? How is it changing the brain? How do I encourage my teen to be a discerning gamer? In episode five of the Teen Clinic Podcast youth advocate, teen expert, and mother of three Lucy Dahill from Why Be You explores the prevalence of gaming in the life of teenagers and how parents can support their teens to engage in gaming in a safe and responsible way. Lucy discusses cyberbullying through online gaming, setting boundaries with your teenager in relation to gaming, and teaching them skills that can help them become a discerning gamer – which they can also use in other situations in life. She clarifies that this podcast episode does not advise parents on how to ban their teen from engaging in gaming altogether. Lucy states that gaming it is a part of a teen’s life, can be used to self-soothe, is enjoyable, helps to create connections, and that a parent’s responsibility involves equipping their teens with the skills to deal with the negative aspects of gaming.

It seems to dominate our lives. How do we support teens to be discerning social media users? In the fourth episode of the Teen Clinic Podcast, youth advocate, teen expert and mother of three Lucy Dahill from Why Be You discusses parent's roles and responsibilities when it comes to their teen's social media usage. Lucy reinforces the age old wisdom of 'walking the talk' in terms of setting a good example of social media use for teens. She also points out that where parents would use other methods, teens use social media as a way to fulfil their need for connection and also as a way to self-soothe.

They don’t talk and then when they do talk they are rude. How does communication change in the teenage years? In Episode 3 of the Teen Clinic Podcast, youth advocate, teen expert and mother of three Lucy Dahill from Why Be You tackles hot topics such as respect, trust, and how to effectively get talking with your teen. As Lucy always says, all behaviour is a form of communication. Teens are working with a brain that is rejigging to deal with upcoming independence and more complex relationships, and it's always better to work on a health and balance model than to try and fix situations that have already exploded.

They want to grow up, we want to keep them safe, how do we find a balance? In the second episode of the Teen Clinic Podcast, youth advocate, teen expert and mother of 3 Lucy Dahill from Why Be You answers your questions about how to set fair, manageable boundaries.

There are few people who don’t have some form of self-sabotaging behaviour these days. Be it excessive social media checking, overeating, working in overdrive mode, smoking, drugs, alcohol – even simply not leaving enough time to get ready so that every morning we rush ourselves and the kids out the door. Anything that leaves us feeling less than amazing within ourselves is having a detrimental effect to our well-being on some level or another. Even if we know this, which in most cases we do, why do we stay in this seemingly perpetual cycle of self-sabotage? And if we do manage to break the cycle for even one day, how do we make lasting shifts in our behaviour? Lucy Dahill and Katie Walls explore what’s behind this set-up and provide tips on how to break away from it once and for all.

We have had a bit of time to settle into the New Year now – are the cracks starting to show?

Truth and honesty are foundational tenets of most school and workplace mission statements, but I would ask, how can we consider what the truth is if we don't first know how to be honest with ourselves or others?

Food as medicine - what does your body actually need? There are many opinions about what constitutes a good diet. There are also new superfoods on the market just about every other week.

They'll also bust a few foodie myths and look at the difference between medicating with food vs living as if food is thy medicine.
