In this episode of the Positive Habits Podcast, Kat is joined by Daniele for an honest conversation about the habits that shape our mental health, relationships, and performance - at work and at home.
Together, they explore how the pandemic disrupted our routines, blurred boundaries between work and life, and quietly changed our relationship with technology. Daniela shares the powerful story of starting a movie club during lockdown, which became a lifeline for connection, empathy, and mental wellbeing.
The conversation dives into digital detoxes, mindful phone use, the impact of social media on mental health, and why creating safe, vulnerable spaces - particularly for men, is more important than ever. At its heart, this episode is about community, boundaries, and the small habits that protect us in a constantly “on” world.

ABOUT KAT
Kat started her career as a teacher, before moving into Tech where she worked in different executive roles within teaching and consulting working across the globe, both in the public and private sector. Despite appearing 'successful' on the outside, she paid a heavy ‘life’ price. In 2016, her whole world collapsed. The reason? The compound effect of years of unhealthy and toxic habits that destroyed her health, relationship, and career. She suffered a severe breakdown and lost everything. In the middle of this she got headhunted for her first CEO role. She rebuilt herself by changing just one small habit and built a series of positive habits which has transformed her professional and personal performance, resulting in becoming the healthiest and happiest version of herself. She is a positive habits international keynote speaker and teacher, giving talks and delivering high impact programmes to organisations across the globe.
