12.01.2022 This pandemic is exhausting. I dont think Ive ever been so tired as I have been during the last few months. And yet, in lockdown, Im spending days on end whe...re I barely leave the house so why am I so fatigued? If youre finding this whole situation exhausting, youre not alone. And theres a good reason for it. Much of it comes from being on high alert were constantly in fight or flight mode, which floods the body with adrenaline and cortisol and burns up all our energy. As we grapple with heightened stress on a daily basis, that can often seep into our dreams, as our subconscious tries to process all the worries. So yes, its possible to be anxious even when were asleep! In this episode of Riding the Coronacoaster, I look at why our brains and bodies are so tired and explore the things we can do to find some calm and some rest.

03.01.2022 Wise words from the Barefoot Investor on bushfire recovery: On a scorching day in February 2014 my wife, our 7-month-old son and I stood looking at the smoulde...ring rubble that was once our home. We had absolutely no idea what lay ahead for us. Today Im going to share with you what happened over the next 12 months, in the hope that it might give some hard-won advice to the 1,800-plus households who are facing their day one right now. One Week On: Kind People Will Send You Junk Liz came back from the post office with a trolley full of stuff: Strangers sent heartfelt letters, gift vouchers, brand new clothes and toys. Yet among the many packages we received there was one that really stood out: Someone had sent us what looked like a wooden carving. Theyd attached a scribbled note around the base with a lacker-band that read: This beautiful piece of art has been sitting in our storeroom gathering dust for years ... and wed like you to have it. Right. Is it just me, or is this thing kind of suggestive? asked Liz, holding it out in front of her. Well, its a wooden knob, honey. And history repeats: relief workers have told me recently that some fire-affected communities have makeshift rubbish dumps for the junk that people have sent to fire victims. That being said, its likely the first bits of mail fire victims will likely receive will floor them: the Red Cross sent us a cash cheque, and a hand-knitted trauma teddy for our son. Makes me tear up just thinking about it. And then there was the junk mail ... Two Weeks On: Bad People Will Try and Take Advantage of You We had someone (whod clearly read Rich Dad, Poor Dad too many times) who dropped leaflets into our mailbox, offering to buy our property on the cheap. There were also leaflets offering short-term loans. You see, the smell of smoke is like perfume to payday predators (who by law are allowed to charge up to 400% interest per annum). Makes me dry-retch just thinking about it. And history repeats: right now, consumer advocates are warning people to watch out for (unregulated) insurance claims management firms who promise to manage the insurance claims process in exchange for a percentage of the insurance settlement. One Month On: Youll Realise Your Insurance Payout Isnt Enough Yes, even I got caught out. Our house was covered. Our contents were covered. Our farm fences were partially covered. I mean how expensive is 10 kilometres of fencing? Quite a lot, in fact! (Thankfully the awesome volunteers from BlazeAid swung to our rescue and helped rebuild our fences.) And thats why Ive made a point of annoying people about checking their insurance every year. In fact, a few years back I even fronted a Victorian Government campaign called Insure It, Its Worth It. The stats are horrifying: half of Australians dont have enough home insurance for when disaster strikes. What does that mean? It means that statistically many bushfire victims will not be able to cover the cost of their rebuild. (And the cost of rebuilding will skyrocket often upwards of 20% as a result of having to comply with new bushfire building codes, and a general spike in building costs.) So, what happens then? Well, insurance companies have the call on whether they repair, replace or cash settle a claim. And when theres a shortfall between the payout figure and the cost of the repair or rebuild, the insurance company will generally tally up a cash settlement. And then? And then theyll send a cheque but probably not to you. What?! Yes, in many cases not only are people underinsured, they will also have a mortgage. And when you have a mortgage, the bank is the legal owner of your home. Its a total disaster. Know this: with most insurance policies there may well be additional things to claim, like payments for temporary accommodation, and other disaster allowances. And its in this situation that financial counsellors shine; theyll stand by you, and work with you. Three Months On: The Easter Eggs Start to Crack We ran on adrenaline for about three months. And then, around Easter, the Duracell bunny ran out of puff. Im not ashamed to admit that I started to get really depressed. (Its actually quite common: an expert I was speaking to recently said the 12-week mark is when people need some extra help.) You see, everyone had moved on with their lives. Except us. We were reminded of it every day: the smell, the blackness, and sleeping in someone elses bed. When we were at our lowest, three things helped: First, on the black, scorched land we planted an apple tree. Second, Liz bought a sign (and Blu-Tacked it to the wall) that said: Home is wherever I am with you. Sounds corny, but it really helped me put things in perspective. It was the first thing I saw when I walked in the door each night. And when I wrote my book based on our experience with the fires I dedicated it to Liz, with that message on the first page. Third, we went to see a counsellor who specialised in bushfire recovery. One Year On and Beyond: There Are People Who Can Help In truth, I spent the first 12 months desperately waiting for everything to go back to normal. You know what I ultimately learnt? Things dont go back to normal. Instead, youre forced to find a new normal. And sadly, for many, its very different from the life they enjoyed before the fires. And all too often these people fall through the cracks and face years of ongoing hardship. Thats what inspired me to spend 2019 becoming a community-based financial counsellor. And right now there are counsellors who are being deployed to fire affected areas. Im one of them. We wont be with you for just a week, or a month, or three months, or even a year well be with you all the way, for as long as it takes. Hang in there. Tread Your Own Path!
