As you may already know, 81 homes have been lost to fire in Perth's north east. These aren't just buildings, they are people's memories, their comfort zone, the place they ran to in hardship and now it's gone.

Isaac had a chat on-air about some of the places you can support, who are giving back to those who have lost everything.

You may have heard a new voice during the day on Youth Talk Radio during the day recently... well, his name is Daniel Casadio. Daniel will be speaking into specific topics and how we can take proactive steps to stop things that may damage us.

His first step, specifically for addiction to pornography addiction, is to have an accountability partner. This is someone you trust who you can go to when things are tough. Talk to this person once a week, once a month, once a fortnight.... whatever works to keep you on track. It could be a friend or family member, as long as you trust them!

Instead of twiddling his thumbs in lockdown, Isaac has re-discovered his 'talent' of singing (we warn you, it may damage even the lease sensitive of ears). Over the last few days he's been trying awfully hard to get his voice back to what it was when he was 10-14 years old (*good*).

It got him thinking - what talent have you discovered or rediscovered in lockdown? Let us know, we'd love to hear yours. Comment below.

Lachlan is joined weekly by Doctor Patrick Jones from Perth Psychologists to answer questions and discuss topics surrounding positive mental health. This week Dr Jones spoke to Lachlan about an array of topics, but in particular how to get through challenging scenarios.

There are three techniques we can use, before seeking professional help.

•Cognitive - Telling ourselves the 'pain' is just temporary and we can get through it.

•Behavioural - Go for a run, get out of the house etc.

•Social - Connecting with a friend, family member.

Emily is back for 2021 bringing you the latest in movies and entertainment! This week Em spoke about 'Only the Animals', directed by Dominik Moll.

Here is the movie's synopsis:

'A woman disappeared. After a snowstorm, her car is discovered on a road to a small remote village. While the police don't know where to start, five people are linked to the disappearance. Each one with his or her own secret.'

Daniel Casadio on his Hitch Hiking to Broome. Plus, he speaks on addiction and how we can support ourselves. (23.01.2021)

Addiction to pornography is slowly becoming an epidemic. With content so easy to access and age restrictions almost non-existent, it can be easy to start consuming too much, which can have negative effects in the long run. Daniel Casadio is a local youth/social worker in Northbridge and stopped by the studio to have a chat about how we can combat the addiction to porn. He didn't shy away from his struggles, as he believes that starting a conversation is always important.

If you, or someone you know, needs to talk to someone, you can call Lifeline on 13 11 14 or the Kids Helpline on 1800 55 1800. Don't do this journey alone, there is always someone available to talk.

When you think of celebrities, it seems as though they have everything together - lots of money, fancy houses, lots of celeb friends - all up, a great lifestyle. But what we forget is they are human too. Isaiah Firebrace called into the Drive show to talk to Lachlan about his music, but he also touched on how he found out how important reflection and down time is.

'For me lockdown was hard, as it was the first time I ever stopped. Since I did X Factor I was non-stop working, I rarely got to spend proper time with my family. I felt really secluded.'

Isaiah Firebrace won the eighth season of The X Factor Australia and represented Australia in Europe for Eurovision 2017! He phoned into the Drive show to have a chat with Lachlan about his time on The X Factor, Eurovision, Adam Lambert and COVID-19! If you missed it, press play below.

Our weekly guest, Dr Patrick Jones from Perth Psychologists phoned into the Drive show yesterday to have a discussion about mindfulness and some useful ways we can stop our fixation on scenarios that make us anxious.

Dr Jones (and Lachlan) made some valid points that stuck out for some of the fam...

-Mindfulness is our ability not to be distracted by certain thoughts that take us away/distract us from what we are doing. Negative thoughts create stress.

-Thoughts get stuck in our head, when fixating on something. For example, sometimes we go through scenarios (that make us anxious) 10 times before doing it/not doing it. Each time there may be different outcomes.

-95-98% of life is in transition between goal A and goal B. 1-2% is spent 'relaxing', after completing the goal.

-Mindfulness kick is to get us in the moment, not in the future. People with a more anxious profile, are generally more in 'future mode'. Mindfulness is about trying to get us in 'present mode'.

Dr Patrick Jones will appear on the Drive show every Thursday at 5.30pm with Lachlan. You can direct any questions for Dr Jones in the comments below. Stream us online at youthtalkradio.com or via TuneIn.
