Joining them are Ryan Conway, The Athletic's Derby County writer, Tommy Wathen, the Sport Social Media Editor for the Mirror, Express and Star, as well as Rebecca Myers of The Sunday Times. Working in journalism and the media comes with incredible opportunities. The days are fast-paced, you get to speak to remarkable people and you can make a difference with your voice or your words. But it also comes with significant struggles - the long hours, risk of burnout, stress and also social media abuse. Mental health in journalism isn't often talked about but - particularly in the pandemic - it's something that needs a spotlight shone onto it. It's one of the reasons why the website Newsbreak was created during the pandemic as a place for journalists to share their mental health stories. There hasn't been a proper conversation and, with most of us trading newsrooms for our homes, isolation has also been a battle.In this podcast episode we look to unpick some of the mental health issues in the media as we all try and share some practical advice for what has worked for us, as well as how we individually cope with social media, which can be toxic at times. Above all, even those days where you struggle, the chances are you are not along and journalists can help each other during these unprecedented times.If you are struggling with your mental health here are some organisations who can help Samaritans: Phone 116 123, 24 hours a day, or email jo@samaritans.org, in confidence Childline: Phone 0800 1111. Calls are free and won't show up on your bill PAPYRUS: A voluntary organisation supporting suicidal teens and young adults.

Today we have MBA Rebecca Myers , talking about how to be resilient in your own life. As she advises clients with family businesses.Could you work with your family during Covid and then go home to the same people.Who doesn't love Downton Abbey, well how about drinking a newer gin designed from the actual Castle we watch Downton.

Meet Rebecca Myers: 13 years ex Creative Agency Account Director, 7 years marketing recruitment consultancy owner, 2 years fitness company owner, mother of 2 boys, one of which has some challenging mental disabilities, and wife to a busy TV producer who's team is spread all over the world. Oh yeah, and they have just finished building their own house from scratch! Some say she is crazy, some say she is super woman, but she thinks she is just a girl with lots of ideas and wants to make the most of the life she has been given! ​ Work In Your Work Out (or WIYWO for short) was born from a need that was not being fulfilled in the corporate world. Time poor, office based professionals (like Rebecca once was) who want to look after their health but needed something convenient to assist with this. This is what WIYWO does: bringing fitness, health and wellness to the workplace. Even if, at the moment, this is whilst you are working from home.

Rebecca Myers is a journalist for The Times and Sunday Times and the lead reporter for the prestigious Sunday Times Sportswomen of the Year awards. She has covered major sporting events such as the Commonwealth Games, the World Athletics Championships, and the FIFA Women's World Cup, and her work focuses on women's sport. She was shortlisted for the Society of Editors’ Young Journalist of the Year award 2018. In this podcast, I asked Rebecca about the female athletes she has reported on and interviewed during the COVID-19 lockdown – how they have been able to keep up with their training, and what restrictions, including financial restrictions, they have encountered. Rebecca talks about the positive outcomes – the silver lining – of being confined to the house for these athletes and how she hopes that the balance in the portrayal and coverage of sports women in the media, although currently not favourable for women, might be more promising in the future. I am pleased to discover that you don’t need to be ‘sporty’ or know the sports ‘lingo’ to be a successful female sports journalist!

The European Rugby Champions Cup starts this week, with last year's champions Saracens widely tipped to retain their title... or at least they *were* widely tipped, until they were given a 35 point deduction in the English Premiership, and fined £5 million for salary cap infractions. We talk to Shane Horgan and Mike Aylwin of the Guardian about what Saracens' suspension tells us about the sport's business model, why rugby clubs need to rethink their strategy, and why other English clubs have wasted no time sticking the boot into Saracens since the punishment was announced. Mary Cain used to be one of America's most talented young athletes, but in an interview with the New York Times last week she revealed the horrendous pressure she was put under while in the Nike Oregon project to drastically lose weight. Sunday Times journalist Rebecca Myers wrote a fascinating piece yesterday on the back of this Mary Cain story about the culture of the sport and the effect on their bodies and minds of trying to live up to all the demands, and Rebecca is on the show today. We also discover why passionate anthem-singing = wins, David Clifford wows us again, good news for fans of our "I'll Tell You Who Wrote It" book club, and we discover why rugby's demise is (predictably) actually football's fault.
