I have a spare room in my house I'm thinking about using air bnb to make some money from. Any tips? Would love to hear from people who do this? I'm assuming I need some sort of insurance? Cheers
From October 2024 to August this year was the.worst.period of my life.
October 2024 I travelled to my home country to visit my mum while she still remembered me as she had dementia at that point. The visit itself was horrific and the situation I found myself in I wouldn't wish on anyone. I then spent the next Year feeling like I was merely surviving and processing my trauma, pre emptive grief, anxiety, depression, guilt and sadness.
October 2025 my partner and I broke up, I then ended up homeless as we were living together and spent the next few months in constant anxiety worrying about where I would live as the state I live in is absolutely f***ed for rentals.
December 2025 my mum passed on boxing day after an extremely long illness with a degenerative neurological condition. I was fired from my job as I'd only been in it 3 months and couldn't keep up with the workload due to my grief. I took a couple of months off and then wasn't able to find a permanent job till June (waited till August to start due to clearence checks), all the while living off government payments (Australia) and again now trying to process my grief, guilt, fatigue, depression and having no place to call home and no real personal space. I slept on a blow up bed for 3 months....
Now finally finally my life is starting to get better, less stressful, I feel like I'm living rather than surviving. I found a place in January to call home, and I can now afford it on my own rather than have to live with someone. My work contract has been extended for a extra year and my landlord has given me another year on my lease which I will take over on my own January 2027.
I reached a point not too long ago where I thought this was it, my life would never change,it would always be this hard. Having no job crushed my confidence and my self esteem. I was so so bored not working and not having anything to do and no money.
Now I can feel my nervous system slowly coming back from high alert, I have less anxiety now I have an income again, I'm slowly coming out of flight or fight mode. I feel like I'm living and not just surviving.
Here's to living as opposed to surviving 🥂
Thanks for listening to my rant and congratulations to everyone whose made it through a shit time and come out the other end ❤️
Please hit me up with any of the above you know that allow doggos inside, or alternatively that have a good outside area or outside seating I can take my doggo to.
Thanks!
Who here is doing a non medical role but still used their nursing degree to get into it? For example I am an rn who recently started working for the Australian public service and ndis. Best job I've had so far, Monday to Friday, no shifts and $110000 a year with great super.
Until recently I had no idea these types of roles existed. Curious to hear from others who use their nursing degree but in a non nursing role.
Hi
I am looking for a support coordinator. How do I go about this? Where do I find them? Im struggling to understand everything. How much do they charge?
Thanns
I am now eligible to release some super with care super as I have been on centrelink payments for 26 weeks. Has anyone else released super with care super? If so how long the process take between applying and receiving the funds?
I'm getting this beautiful boy in 2 weeks! Please help me with name suggestions....
He is a golden retriever, he is currently 10 weeks.
Thanks
I am getting a golden next month. Anyone here have a golden and can give me any insight into potential health problems/issues with this breed? What pet insurance do you use.
How is a person assessed currently when they apply to the ndis for a package? Is it based off medical professionals such as drs etc...? Who does the assessment? Who names the decision as to how much funding a person gets?
And is this assessment process changing?
Thanks 😊
