Let's find out How to Work Solo and not Lose Your Mind with Rebecca Seal

The Irish Tech News Podcast

Ria talks with Rebecca about her previous struggle with balancing freelance work and how that struggle developed into the 2020 book, ‘SOLO: How To Work Alone (And Not Lose Your Mind)’. She speaks about her podcast ‘The Solo Collective’ and how she never expected a book she wrote in 2019 would resonate so much with today’s world. Rebecca elaborates on her experiences of being a female journalist and how to prepare for the world of work.

Rebecca Seal is the author of SOLO: How To Work Alone (And Not Lose Your Mind), host of the Solo Collective podcast, and a freelance journalist. Her work is published in the Guardian, Observer, Financial Times, and Telegraph as well as in magazines and newspapers around the world. She also writes cookbooks and has just finished her tenth. She wrote SOLO in 2019, with the aim of helping other solitary workers cope with the strangeness of working in a company-of-one. She had no idea quite how relevant the book would become; today she gives talks and workshops about how to thrive when you're never in an office. She has two daughters and lives in south London where she also runs a photography business with her husband. It is not unrelated to all the above that she is extremely interested in burnout and how to avoid it.
