So many people I'm speaking to at the moment are describing themselves as stuck in their careers – often they've built a very successful career in one area of specialism and now face into a very big question – “now I have different choices, is this what I really want to do?”You might know today's guest Tanya Arnold from her TV career – a BBC sports journalist covering two Olympics, the Commonwealth Games and the Rugby League World Cup. She was one of the first female sports reporters in broadcasting, starting at a time when women covering sport was virtually unheard of. In 2019 she hosted the first interview with the late rugby star Rob Burrow about his Motor Neurone Disease diagnosis – she calls it the hardest but also the most important interview she's ever done. Today she's a patron of the West Yorkshire MND Association.Two years ago Tanya started a new path in her career and just recently she posted on Instagram “I'm going it alone – here's to the variety and freewheeling!”Exploring your Unlock Moments can be a powerful way to figure out the path ahead. I can't wait to hear more about how Tanya is navigating this latest career transition and I'm curious about the parallels you might draw as you listen. --The Unlock Moment podcast is brought to you by Dr Gary Crotaz, PhD.

Warriors legend Shaun Johnson will be back on our screens – this time, without a rugby ball in hand. He's supercharging his fledgling media career, fronting a new weekly TV show dedicated to the analysis of rugby league. Johnson signed a new deal with Sky TV for ‘League Lounge', which launches Wednesday, and will broadcast on Sky and Sky Sport Now, with delayed release on Sky Open and YouTube. He told Mike Hosking he wants to speak to what the audience might be feeling and seeing from the game and help educate them. Johnson says that if he can offer a bit of perspective as to what may be going on with players' performances, it might buy a bit of time to start seeing better results.
