“Rebecca is the author of Solo: How to Work Alone (and Not Lose Your Mind), a fantastic book absolutely filled to the brim with wfh advice and tips and anecdotes. It's a science and evidence-based exploration of what working alone does to your brain and well-being, and how to cope with the more difficult aspects of solo work. She doesn’t shy away from talking about her own tough times in her own freelance life which I personally found super helpful. Initially, she thought it was a book for freelancers and self-employed people...and then 2020 happened.”

“Journalist and Author Rebecca Seal joins Tim to talk about her new book, which details what working alone can do to your brain and how to deal with working solo”
Alonement with Francesca Spectre
“My first guest is author and presenter Rebecca Seal, whose latest book, SOLO: How To Work Alone (And Not Lose Your Mind), accidentally became one of the most relevant titles of 2020 as many of us faced home-working due to lockdown. After over a decade of running her freelance career from home, Rebecca shares her best advice for ‘solo’ working. Other topics discussed in this episode include the fallacy of the ‘solitary’ genius and, later, Rebecca’s IVF journey, a lonely experience that she’s now committed to speaking openly about to help others feel that they’re not alone. Finally, Rebecca tells me why running is her favourite form of alonement – and shares why, even as someone who’s written a self-help book, she’s happy to admit she’s still a ‘work in progress’.”

“As with many guests on the show, there was a point in Rebecca's life where, to the outside world, it looked like she had 'everything'. However, she started to realise that society's view of success didn't match her own and non-stop work was affecting her mental and physical health. In this episode, we talk about how important it was to make a change.”
Going for Goal with Women’s Health magazine
“One message that’s come out loud and clear from the pandemic is the importance of other people for our health and happiness. And just as you nurture those ties with close friends, family members and your extended gang of pals, workplace relationships are worthy of your time and attention, too. So says Carole Robin PhD - foremost workplace culture expert who taught the world-renowned Interpersonal Dynamics course at the Stanford Graduate Business School for 17 years and shares her insights in new book Connect: Building Exceptional Relationships with Family and Colleagues. In today’s episode she and Rebecca Seal, food journalist, cookbook writer and author of Solo: How To Work Alone Without Losing Your Mind, join Roisín to discuss practical ways to strengthen those bonds to perform better, stave off the creep of WFH loneliness and just enjoy your life - work, play, and the rest - a whole lot more.”
Freelance Heroes
“If you have ever worked for a bigger business, you will be aware of the experience of immediately slotting into a structure of work that was in place before we arrived. The hours, the tools, the environment, etc., have already been set. We just need to learn what they are so we can do the job on day one. However, when you started, did you think about the structure and processes you need for your business to function? Rebecca Seal didn’t and didn’t know a single solo worker who did.”

She shares advice on how she manages the work from home juggle - including having a partner who also works from home - as well as why pot plants are the best thing you can get for your home office!”
