October 15, 2020 The Guilt Issue
THE GUILT ISSUE

Welcome to series 3 of Lennon Courtney Left Alone, a podcast about conversations we have when we’re left alone.
This week it’s The Guilt Issue.

From Catholic guilt to parenting guilt, carer guilt to existential guilt, there is a type of guilt for every day of the week. Is it a wasted emotion or can we learn something from it – we love life lessons at Left Alone HQ!

Now, if you’re a regular podcast listener you’ve no doubt heard the hosts asking you to leave five stars and a review for their show. This is because when you leave reviews on iTunes (or wherever you listen) it helps push us into the charts and makes us more visible and when people scroll looking for new podcast we’re right in their eye line. It takes seconds and you’d make us very excira. All you have to do is click or tap here and it will bring you straight to our page where you can show our work some love ; ).

Until next Thursday (our final episode for series 3) wear a mask and keep washing your hands.

Yours in hand sanitizer,

Sonya and Brendan.

THE WATER ISSUE
Welcome to series 3 of Lennon Courtney Left Alone, a podcast about conversations we have when we’re left alone.
This week it’s The Water Issue.
The pandemic has taken a lot from all of us but it’s also forced us to look at our routines and introduce new habits to our lives. Enter stage left, sea swimming! We’ve let our inner water babies, mermaids and mermen out and we are throwing ourselves into the chilly depths like no one's business. An avid swimmer, Sonya tells us what it gives her and sea newbie Brendan shares his (merman) tales too. Water, water everywhere, so let’s all have a...think!
Before you lash on your togs, we need your help. Lennon Courtney Left Alone is always free to listen to, but if you want to show us your appreciation, pay us a digital tip by leaving a positive comment and five stars on iTunes or wherever you listen. It takes seconds and splish, splash, splosh - you’ve made our day. All you have to do is click here and it will bring you straight to our page where you can sing our praises ; ).
Until next Thursday, stay safe, don’t panic and wear a mask.
Sonya and Brendan.
THINGS MENTIONED IN THE SHOW:
Sonya’s Dorothy Cross Jellyfish prints.
The Mappiness App - the happiness mapping app which is part of a research project from the London School of Economics.
The science of negative ions and their positive effect (in short, get out and about in nature, esp. anywhere there is water)

September 23, 2020 The Sleep Issue
This episode was recorded remotely during the Dublin lockdown.
THE SLEEP ISSUE
Welcome to series 3 of Lennon Courtney Left Alone, a podcast about conversations we have when we’re left alone.
This week it’s The Sleep Issue.
Research carried out in 2018 revealed that almost 80% of Irish people are sleep deprived. We are a nation sleepwalking through life. Not getting enough sleep means we’re not getting the most out ourselves and our days but more importantly, it is incredibly damaging to our health.
While we have you bright eyed and bushy tailed, we would really appreciate it if you left us a 5 star review and comment on iTunes or wherever you listen. We left a link in our show notes to make it easy for you.
Before we get started though, as always, we would really love it if you left us a 5 star review and comment on iTunes or wherever you listen. All you have to do is click here and it will bring you straight to our page. Our podcast is always free to listen to so consider leaving five stars like a digital tip to us.
Until next Thursday, continue to stay safe!
Sonya and Brendan.
