‘It’s Complicated’ launched February 2019 and was selected by iTunes for its New & Noteworthy podcast feature in its first few weeks of launch. In each series, Tanya discusses how being over-connected to your smartphone can affect everything from your physical health, your mental health, your work and your sex life. The goal with all these conversations is to untangle what a healthy relationship with your phone looks like and to empower the listener with tips and ideas to leave them feeling healthier, happier, and with hours more time in their day.

S1 Ep 6 Rhiannon Lambert on Staying Healthy in a World of Filters

Harley Street Nutritionist and author Rhiannon Lambert joins Tanya on the podcast to talk about what our phone habits might be doing to our health – both physical and mental. We chat about the importance of tuning in to our bodies to avoid disordered eating habits, body dysmorphia, the mental health impacts of our comparison culture, and how mindlessly scrolling through our Instagram feed might be interfering with really listening to what are bodies are telling us. 

S1 Ep 5 Alastair Humphreys on Why We All Need to Get Out More

Adventurer and author Alastair Humphreys talks to Tanya about why we all need to get outdoors more, reconnect with nature, and live more adventurously – and why our smartphone habit just might be stopping us doing that. Alastair spent over four years cycling round the world, a journey of 46,000 miles through 60 countries and five continents. He’s taken on numerous other challenges and adventures since then including; rowing the Atlantic, trekking 1,000 miles across the Empty Quarter desert and walking 120 miles round London’s M25! (One of his pioneering ‘microadventures’). Alastair was one of National Geographic’s Adventurers of the Year in 2012.

S1 Ep 1 Nikita Gill

Episode One of the podcast series features Tanya in conversation with poet, author, illustrator and designer Nikita Gill. Nikita is a leading light in the new breed of Insta poets who have opened up poetry to a new audience online (in Nikita’s case to her over half a million Instagram followers). But the neat ‘Insta poet’ label doesn’t do her justice, she’s a polymath with a huge range of talents and with an incisive and thoughtful take on the social media world which has brought her her fame.
