About this listen
From her early days in Liverpool newsrooms to becoming one of the youngest editors on Radio 4 and eventually a trauma psychologist, Sian shares stories of imposter syndrome, newsroom sexism, learning to run in flat shoes, and why being a good journalist starts with listening. She also discusses her shift into psychology, driven by witnessing the mental toll of trauma — both on those in front of the camera and those behind it.
Sian also reveals:
- The night she realised journalism isn’t about scoops — it’s about holding fragile stories with care
- How being mistaken for a guest at a screen test led to a job as a BBC News presenter
- What it meant to be embedded in Liverpool during the Hillsborough disaster — and why it changed her
