Published: June 3, 2021, 10:14 a.m.

We now hear the phrase \u2018mental health\u2019 in the media just about every day, but it wasn\u2019t always that way. People \u2013 and businesses \u2013 have become far more comfortable discussing issues such as stress, anxiety and depression \u2013 even more so in the wake of the pandemic crisis.\nAnd while a lot of people are understandably keen to throw themselves back into a more normal way of life, others are feeling anxious about emerging from lockdown.\nWho better to speak to then than Fiona McKinnon, co-founder of The Moment Company? Fi built up a highly successful global career in digital media and marketing before the crazy hours and endless long-haul flights caught up with her and she decided to re-boot her life. This ultimately led her to get together with kindred spirits Alex Strang and Charlie Cadbury to launch The Moment Company and their 'mental fitness product' the Moment Pebble.\nI asked Fi to provide some advice for anyone who might be struggling with lockdown-related anxiety. She offered some great practical tips and tells the story of her life and career to date beautifully. Well worth a listen.\nInterview by Fraser Allen on 26 May 2021.\nwww.allencomms.co.uk
