In the fast-paced world of travel PR and journalism, having the right support can make all the difference so, following on from Episode 1 where we discussed networking and the importance of presenting yourself, we explore how mentoring and mental fitness can help to build your confidence.

This is episode two of Embargo, and host Howard Salinger explores the vital role of mentorship, not just in shaping careers, but in supporting mental wellbeing.

Why do we celebrate mentorship with a Best Mentor category at The Baubles? Because great mentors do more than offer career advice, they provide encouragement, act as a sounding board, and help navigate the challenges of work-life balance.

In this episode, host Howard Salinger is joined by:

- Rachel Johnston (Senior PR at Atout France and mental fitness coach)

- Alessandra LoTufo Alonso (Founder of Women in Travel CIC)

- Phoebe Smith, winner of the Best Mentor award, who shares her experiences with the WeTWO Foundation and the power of giving back.

And, of course, we kick things off with our travel game, What in the World Is That? Can you guess the mystery sound?

Listen in for practical advice, inspiring stories, and a fresh perspective on why mentorship is more than just career guidance.
