   S5 EP9: Let’s talk about it: answering your questions (season finale)

   To wrap up the season, we’re handing the mic to young people. In this special Grab Bag Q&A episode, we answer anonymous questions submitted by young people in our community, sharing lived experience and peer perspectives. We explore questions around: • navigating gender identity and sexuality when family or peers aren’t accepting • knowing when work is impacting your mental health • feeling “not unwell enough” to seek support • second-guessing uni or study pathways near the finish line This episode is about normalising uncertainty, giving yourself permission to grow and change, and recognising that you’re not alone in figuring things out. If something here resonated with you, support is available and you don’t have to wait until things feel overwhelming to reach out. --- headspace resources: headspace - out-spoken (LGBTIQA+ support) (https://headspace.org.au/our-impact/campaigns/lgbtiqaplus/) headspace – learn how to handle tough times (https://headspace.org.au/explore-topics/for-young-people/learn-skills-for-tough-times/) headspace – tips for a healthy headspace (https://headspace.org.au/tips/) headspace work & study – free support for work, study and career stress (https://headspace.org.au/services/work-and-study-support/)headspace centres – find your local service (https://headspace.org.au/headspace-centres/) Additional resources: ShineSA - Gender Connect (https://shinesa.org.au/gender-connect/) Thornharbour - Health Services for LGBTQIA+ communities (https://thorneharbour.org/) Bfriend - LGBTQIA+ support (https://www.unitingcommunities.org/service/community-support/lgbtiqa-support)EAP Counselling (https://www.accesseap.com.au/our-services/employee-support-services/eap-counselling/)--- Watch our video podcast now on YouTube or listen via Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or your favourite podcast platform.

   S5 EP8: music, meaning, and mental health (feat. Aston from towns)

   Music is woven into everyday life; in our headphones, our cars, TikTok, gaming, and the moments in between. But music is more than background noise. It shapes our identity, helps us feel connected, and can even support our mental health. In this episode, we explore how music helps us feel seen and understood, the creative side of making music (and why you don’t have to be “good” at it), why creativity can boost mood, slow down stress, and help express emotions, how music can become a coping tool during tough times, Aston’s experience as a musician, and what creativity means to him. From emotional expression to grounding moments, music can be a skill we use without even realising it, and this episode dives into how and why it works. headspace resources: headspace – learn how to handle tough times (https://headspace.org.au/explore-topics/for-young-people/learn-skills-for-tough-times/) headspace – what is anxiety and the effects on mental health (https://headspace.org.au/explore-topics/for-young-people/anxiety/) headspace – tips for a healthy headspace  (https://headspace.org.au/tips/) headspace centres – find your local service  (https://headspace.org.au/headspace-centres/) headspace work & study – free support for work, study and career stress  (https://headspace.org.au/services/work-and-study-support/online/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22916407109&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIoNK44JDxkgMVgZJQBh34PCqOEAAYASAAEgKvnPD_BwE) Check out towns: townstownstowns - Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/townstownstowns/?hl=en) towns - Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/artist/7zcfwEODRWt0H3XIneO9ZK) Watch our video podcast now on YouTube or via Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or your favourite podcast platform.

   S5 EP7: online but overwhelmed: social media and FOMO

   Social media is a huge part of everyday life for young people, but it doesn’t always leave us feeling good. From doom scrolling and comparison, to feeling pressure to always be available, social media can impact our mental health in ways we don’t always notice. In this episode, we explore the reality of FOMO, doom scrolling, and online comparison, and why social media can feel so hard to switch off, even when it’s affecting our mood, sleep, or self-esteem. headspace resources: headspace – Social Media (https://headspace.org.au/our-impact/campaigns/nip-it-in-the-bud/social-media/) headspace – Sleep and Screen Time (https://headspace.org.au/explore-topics/for-young-people/screen-time/) headspace Centres – find your local service (https://headspace.org.au/headspace-centres/) headspace Work & Study – free support for work, study and career stress  (https://headspace.org.au/services/work-and-study-support/online/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22916407109&gbraid=0AAAABBIBf1iz0SzNyEnuxskoU4QmxV1DH&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIlvTvrYu8kgMV3qxmAh1uMDYsEAAYASAAEgLctvD_BwE) Watch our video podcast now on YouTube or via Spotify, Apple Podcasts or your favourite podcast platform.
