In the previous episode entitled 'Productivity Life Hacks' we discussed how to get over that 3pm slump, what breakfast is best and how to unlock that productive energy with the right diet.

That episode has been one of the most successful we’ve had so in this time of uncertainty I wanted to invite Rebekah back onto the pod to discuss what we can all be doing at home to maintain that healthy lifestyle.

Overy Skype I caught up with registered Nutritional Therapist Rebekah Esdale who was able to offer some of the incredible advice from her online programmes about how to stay healthy and positive whilst working from home.

After a little break to focus on the Social Chain team and business, this week I sat down to record (and edit!) my first episode from lockdown.

In this catch-up episode, I discuss how things have changed for me, for the market and for Social Chain. I discuss my biggest lesson to date about the importance of connections for your personal and business life and share my tips on how I've navigated isolating alone and how I've used psychology to remain positive during isolation.

I've really missed you all, and am so happy to be back.

This podcast was started to help people, so over the next few weeks I will be answering your questions, be that about personal or work in the return of 'Admission Submissions', leave your anonymous submission on www.katyleeson.com and I will answer them in future episodes.

Social media is making it almost impossible for young people to live a happy life, and as the very first "influencer", nobody knows the system quite like Paris. 

Instagram has been tied to depression, anxiety and increased body dissatisfaction, and as we're spending more time on these platforms, we can safely assume that these concerns have not only remained, but increased.

I discuss the damaging impact of filters and effects, comparison culture, the dark side of social, how I feel when I'm using it and what I think can be done to make things easier for future generations.

I am scared for the kids of today, and this is something I am incredibly passionate about. So, sit back, relax and enjoy this episode of I Shouldn't Say This, But.

We discuss Yorkshire Tea’s best marketing moments, including their new Toast and Jam brew, the social distancing teapot, and the controversial incident with Rishi Sunak.

We also chat about how the brand flourished during COVID, the importance of social listening and communities, and humour as a strategy.

And this episode is going to be my last. At least for a while.

When I started the podcast 4 years ago, I couldn’t have imagined the journey it would take me on, the conversations it would generate or the relationships it would help me foster.

Steven Bartlett had tasked me with creating a brand for myself, and I was determined to give it purpose beyond simply being a KPI.

As I sat down to record this episode, I knew that goal had been achieved.

So I hope you enjoy this trip down memory lane. And I hope it gives you an insight into why I do this, and I what I want to do next.

As always, thank you for listening.
