Kate Lewis, who you may know better as Blob The Cob on Instagram, has a huge social media following on Instagram and YouTube, showjumps, coaches and produces horses… and on this podcast she tells us all about, well, everything.
Typos, mental health and social media with Kate Lewis aka Blob The Cob
We talk about why her account is Blob The Cob, growing a social media following, how it all started, and what she shares on social media. But one HUGE topic we discuss is mental health. And on listening to this again, I want to say a HUGE thank you to Kate for being so incredibly honest because I know this will help people.
Kate talks about confidence, how she shared her mental health struggles online, and how she deals with this on a day to day basis. We also talk about the impact this had on her work, and why social media is so, so important.
We discuss the amazing highs that Kate has experienced in her career, her favourite platform, tips for people looking to grow their account. Honestly – it’s superb!
Mental health helplines
Just to be clear, I am not an expert on mental health at all. However, as I said on the podcast (and as Kate said too), it is SO important to reach out to a professional or a dedicated helpline where experts are available to help you. Because you are not alone and there is so much that can be done to help you. I have done a little research and think these resources might help you – in addition to your own GP.
Shout (which can all be done through text)
(Samaritans and Shout are suggested on the NHS website if you need urgent support)
