Rebecca Seal (REPLAY): Do You Ever Feel ...

Emma Gannon
About this episode

My guest today is Rebecca Seal, an episode all about loneliness and working from home. Rebecca is the author of Solo: How to Work Alone (and Not Lose Your Mind). It’s 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.


If you enjoyed this episode, definitely check out The Solo Collective, her brilliant podcast all about solo work: https://www.howtoworkalone.com/solo-collective-podcast


Hope you enjoy!
