It’s a new year, and with it comes a brand new season of Alonement. My first guest is author and presenter Rebecca Seal, whose latest book, <em>SOLO: How To Work Alone (And Not Lose Your Mind),</em> 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 - a must-have for the 14 million of us currently sharing her lifestyle – including her specific pandemic-proof tips to help you thrive. 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’.</p>\n\n<p class=\"p1\"> </p>\n\n<p class=\"p1\">Buy Rebecca Seal's book, <em>SOLO: How To Work Alone (And Not Lose Your Mind) </em>on <a href='https://www.amazon.co.uk/Solo-Work-Alone-Lose-Your/dp/1788164857'>Amazon</a>, <a href='https://www.waterstones.com/book/solo/rebecca-seal/9781788164856'>Waterstones</a>, and from all good booksellers.</p>\n\n<p class=\"p1\"> </p>\n\n<p class=\"p1\">You can also pre-order my upcoming book, <em>Alonement: How To Be Alone And Absolutely Own It</em>, from <a href='https://www.amazon.co.uk/Alonement-Francesca-Specter/dp/1529412617'>Amazon</a>, <a href='https://www.waterstones.com/book/alonement/francesca-specter//9781529412611'>Waterstones</a> and all good booksellers. </p>\n\n<p class=\"p2\"> </p>\n\n<p class=\"p1\">Twitter:</p>\n\n<p class=\"p1\">*  </p>\n\n<p class=\"p1\">@ChezSpecter</p>\n\n<p class=\"p1\">*</p>\n\n<p class=\"p1\">@RebeccaSeal</p>\n\n<p class=\"p1\">*</p>\n\n<p class=\"p1\">Instagram:</p>\n\n<p class=\"p1\"> </p>\n\n<p class=\"p1\">@alonementofficial</p>\n\n<p class=\"p1\">*</p>\n\n<p class=\"p1\">@ChezSpecter</p>\n\n<p class=\"p1\">*</p>\n\n<p class=\"p1\">@bexseal</p>\n\n<p class=\"p1\">*</p>\n\n<p class=\"p1\">Contact: press@alonement.com</p>","author_name":"Francesca Specter"}
