Description

Marianne Jones has had an incredible 30-year career in journalism.

She has worked everywhere from the Daily Mirror to Marie Claire, was on the launch team of UK Grazia and stayed there as deputy Editor for 12 years. She was Editor in chief of Stella Magazine at Sunday Telegraph and then editor of The Telegraph Saturday Magazine and has won ‘Editor of the Year’ a record three times.

She left journalism with severe burnout at the start of 2022. 

She launched ‘Been There Done That Got the Podcast’ with Kat Farmer two years ago (which has reached no1 in news entertainment charts and has had a whopping 1.25m downloads).

Marianne now steers her own ship and writes in a freelance capacity for a variety of national newspapers and magazines & has written extensively about burnout and her mum’s experience with dementia (who sadly died just four months ago).

Her area of specialism is women’s lifestyle & championing the voice of the midlife woman. 

We talk about:

• How journalism has changed over the years
• Trying to do it all.  Kids, career, and not complaining!
• Marianne's career highlights. Trailblazing in a man's world.
• Experiencing burnout. Aged 56.
