Working Hard with Grace Beverley

So episode 5 of the Future Self Series is all about mental fitness. We’re all very used to the idea of keeping our bodies physically fit, but realistically, when was the last time you actively trained your brain in the same way? (I had a Nintendo brain training game as a child, but I fear that may have been the beginning and end of my efforts). I’ve always loved Maya’s approach to mental fitness as something we can actually work on and train, rather than just talking about our mental health as something we all have. So this episode is basically a free session with a renowned brain coach on your self-talk, emotions and self-image, finishing with the exact visualisation Maya does herself to train her brain for the person she wants to become. + SIGN UP TO THE WORKING HARD NEWSLETTER FOR MAYA'S RECOMMENDATIONS: https://www.workinghard.co.uk/welcome + MAYA RAICHOORA Website: https://mayaraichoora.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/maya.mental.fitness/ LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/maya-raichoora X:…

We've reached Episode 4 of the Future Self Series and Dr Faye Bate is taking over the mic!! I wanted this episode to be specifically designed for ambitious women, and Faye has absolutely delivered. She gets into eating enough to fuel everything you’re doing, understanding your hormones, why you can be exhausted all day and then wide awake in bed, and how to deregulate your nervous system on your busiest days. All with the research to back it up, because you know we like our sources over here. + SIGN UP TO THE WORKING HARD NEWSLETTER FOR FAYE'S RECOMMENDATIONS: https://www.workinghard.co.uk/welcome + DR FAYE BATE Website: https://www.fayebate.online/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drfayebate/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@drfayebate TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drfayebate Her Discussions podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/her-discussions-by-dr-faye/id1835829612 Her Discussions Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/herdiscussionspod/ Linktree: https://linktr.ee/fayebate + FOLLOW THE…

Welcome back to Working Hard! We're nearing the end of part one, where today we're moving from mindset into mechanics, how to actually build a routine and a plan that sticks, with a specific long-term horizon. Today's cover teacher Dr Rangan Chatterjee, one of the UK's most influential doctors, a practising GP for over 20 years, host of Feel Better Live More, and a four-time Sunday Times bestselling author. He walks us through why most five-year plans don't work, the traps people fall into, and how to reverse engineer your vision all the way back to what you do this week, in a way that's actually maintainable. Rangan's also shared his top planning frameworks in this week's Working Hard newsletter, the link to sign up is below! + DR CHATTERJEE Website: https://drchatterjee.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drchatterjee/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DrChatterjeeRangan Feel Better, Live More podcast: https://drchatterjee.com/podcast/ Friday Five newsletter: https://drchatterjee.com/newsletter/…

Welcome back to episode 2 of the Future Self series! Missed episode 1? Go back and start there (that's where we break down what this whole series is about) Today we're zooming in on the decades that, looking at our data, most of you are in right now: your twenties and thirties. I think your twenties are the most formative decade of your life, and the choices you make now compound harder than they ever will again. So this episode is all about how to learn to take risks without sabotaging your future. I'm handing the mic to Jemma Sbeg, creator of The Psychology of Your 20s, one of the biggest psychology podcasts in the world. She brings the same research-obsessed energy she's known for (some of her episodes take 10+ hours to write), so you're in great hands. Jemma's also put together a follow-up exercise and her personal recommendations in this week's Working Hard newsletter, so you can actually do something with what you hear today. + JEMMA SBEG Listen to The Psychology of Your 20s:…

If you've been here a while, you might have noticed something’s a little different about this episode, and that’s because this is the first episode of our brand new series, the Future Self Series!! So this episode is the first of a twelve-part series - one that’s completely free, and designed to help you reverse engineer the life you want whilst I'm on my mat leave. While I’m gone, I’ll be passing the mic to some incredible experts who’ll take you through episodes we’ve worked really hard to build together. These are people I love, who've genuinely shaped how I think about mindset, identity, money, health, relationships, social media. ​They’re at the top in their fields, and I’ve hand-picked every single one of them (because I don’t share this mic with just anyone). I’ve invited them all to the office to break down their own versions of formulas that they’ve used to design specific parts of their own lives. And of course if you know me, you’ll know there has to be a structure to all this. So this first…

We've spent the last decade optimising everything: next-day delivery, one-tap payments, infinite scroll, food at the door in 20 minutes. And yet somehow, most of us feel more scattered, less satisfied, and less capable than ever. I read an article about 'friction-maxxing' in The Cut, and wanted to explore why?

Our first ever live podcast happened this summer, so I thought I'd share it with you! Thanks so much to Jemma Sbeg for joining me and 22 Bishopsgate for hosting us. If you haven't heard of Jemma Sbeg, she is the host of The Psychology of Your 20s, one of the most listened-to podcasts in the world. It recently ranked in the global top 20, and was launched on Netflix last year. But what makes Jemma even more interesting is the story of how she got there: she started the podcast as a side project whilst working an 80-plus hour week in a corporate job. She built it episode by episode, using her background in psychology to break down the things that make ambitious people feel stuck, anxious, and like they're falling behind. I really hope you love our chat! And if you want to come to a live pod in the future, let me know! + JEMMA SBEG Listen to The Psychology of Your 20s: https://www.psychologyofyour20s.com/ Follow TPOY20s: https://www.instagram.com/thatpsychologypodcast/?hl=en + SIGN UP TO THE WORKING HARD…

Today I thought we could go through the five systems that have had the biggest impact on both my productivity and my happiness. And I want to say both of those things deliberately, because I think we talk about productivity like it's separate from how we feel. In my experience, it really isn't. When the systems are right, you feel better. And the whole reason I like productivity is that it leaves more space for not working, and the fun bits!!

I wanted to sit down and pick Dr Rupy's brain properly on nutrition, because he's one of the only people I've come across who actually cuts through the diet culture and wellness noise with the science, without making you feel more anxious than when you started.

I want to be clear about something before you listen to this episode. When I say "marry well," I don't mean marry rich or marry impressive or marry a man who looks good on paper. I mean build a relationship that genuinely makes your life better. One built on real compatibility, mutual respect, and matched effort. That goes in the direction of how you want your life to go.

A while back I did a video on habit theory and it kind of took on a life of its own, loads of you messaged me about it and it's still one of the most popular videos I’ve ever done. So when I heard that the expert I spoke to in that video was finally coming to the UK, I knew I needed to make a recording happen. Nir Eyal is an author and lecturer who has spent years studying what makes humans tick, how habits actually form in the brain, why we're all so distracted and what people who achieve extraordinary things actually do differently with their days. Essentially, he’s an expert in a lot of the things we love to talk about on this side of the internet.

I get asked all the time how to actually build a fashion brand, from roles to pricing to manufacturers, and honestly it’s something I’ve always been a bit hesitant to cover on my own because I only have my perspective from building TALA. The reality is, fashion looks quite glamorous from the outside, but behind the scenes it’s a completely different story. So I wanted to bring in someone who’s seen it across loads of brands. I’m joined by Elizabeth Stiles, a fashion consultant who’s worked across some of the biggest brands in the UK and now advises businesses on how to grow and scale.

This episode is a guide to building financial freedom and being radically transparent about how to do it. Today I'm joined by Mia McGrath, who you’ll probably know from her super transparent money journey online, she went from earning a starting salary in her junior fashion job to being on the road to her first million, and she's documented every step of the way, super transparently.

Now I LOVE personal growth, I’m very aware that I have built my career on talking about systems and habits and discipline. But I also know firsthand how frustrating it is when you follow all the steps and nothing really changes at the level you hoped it would. So today I want to go past the ten step lists, not because they are useless, but because they are incomplete on their own, and I want to talk about why your life might not have changed even though you have genuinely been trying really hard.

I wanted to talk to Simon, because his whole thing isn’t really “quit your job and become a millionaire”, it’s much more about building a life that actually feels like yours and being honest about the fact that most people already know what they want, they’ve just convinced themselves they can’t have it. We had some really interesting debates around work, money, privilege, purpose and what actually makes a “good” life, which made the whole conversation feel much more honest and nuanced and hopefully makes you question whether the thing you keep putting off is maybe the exact thing you should stop ignoring.

This week, we are talking about something that I genuinely think is shaping our careers, our creativity, our relationships, and our confidence more than we realise, which is the fear of being cringe. I did a bonus episode on this over a year ago now and it got such a huge response, and since then I’ve come to genuinely think the main thing that holds most people back is not lack of talent, not lack of ideas, not even lack of discipline. It’s fear of what other people think. So this episode is basically me unpacking all of that, the psychology behind why we care so much about what people think, why we massively overestimate how much people are paying attention to us, and the practical things that have genuinely helped me stop letting fear of perception make my decisions for me. + CHAPTERS 0:00: Intro 1:34: The Context 7:29: Step One: Shrinking the audience 14:38: Step Two: Redefining the evidence 17:01: Step Three: Putting it into practice 19:12: Looking back + SIGN UP TO THE WORKING HARD NEWSLETTER:…

I was so excited to record with Ashley James, I've loved her videos for ages, and I knew we'd get on like a house on fire. We talk about shame, body image, speaking up, and how your relationship with yourself evolves over time. And I think if you’re in a phase where you’re questioning things a bit, you’re going through a big life change like me, or you’re trying to feel more confident, or just trying to understand yourself a bit better, there will be something in this episode for you.

I genuinely think 18 year old me would be in complete disbelief that this episode exists. So for some context for anyone who hasn't been here for 10 years, Kayla Itsines is the reason I started this Instagram account at all, I literally had “Kayla” in my username because my page was dedicated to doing her guide. In a weird way, everything that came after that was a complete snowball effect into what I do now, and what my life looks like, so getting to sit down with her felt very, very full circle. I really wanted this conversation to go deeper than just the "Bikini Body Guide" era and how quickly it grew. We get into success, what it means to be thrust into it so young, what it does to the people around you, and how you navigate big life moments in the public eye. We also speak about pregnancy loss and pregnancy after loss in a way neither of us have really shared online before, as well as her decision to fully reacquire Sweat after selling it for $400 million in 2021. This is honestly one of my favourite…

Today’s episode is about reinvention, confidence, and creating a comeback, not the kind that looks good on the outside, but the kind that actually changes how you see yourself. I’m joined by Chris Appleton, celebrity hairstylist. He’s worked with some of the most famous and successful women in the world, like Kim Kardashian, JLo and Ariana Grande but behind all the glamour, he’s been on a much bigger journey of reinvention and self discovery. In this conversation, we talk about insecurity, self doubt, identity, and how to stop letting your past, your background, or your inner critic dictate your future. I hope you love it.

This is an episode I've been thinking about for a while! I've been asking: how do we stay informed about the world without feeling constantly overwhelmed, anxious, or like everything is about to fall apart? So this is an episode all about learning how to structure an information diet that actually leaves you informed and capable of action, rather than frozen by overwhelm. + SIGN UP TO THE WORKING HARD NEWSLETTER: https://graceb.myflodesk.com/k0sfhlac34 + SHAE OMONIJO IG: https://www.instagram.com/iamshaeo/?hl=en TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@iamshaeo Substack: https://shaeomonijo.substack.com/ Reading list: https://shaeomonijo.substack.com/p/reading-lists + FOLLOW THE PODCAST Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/workinghard...

I’m really glad you’re here for this episode, because it’s a topic I’ve been wanting to unpack for a long time, not from a place of blame, but from a place of realism and agency.

We can’t avoid the AI conversation, and honestly, pretending it’s not happening is the worst possible strategy. So instead of speculating or panicking, I want to have a really open, frank chat about what it’s doing to our brains, and how we can control it. So I started looking for an expert who was actually thinking seriously about this space, not in a hypey way or a doom way, but in a thoughtful, academic way. Then I came across one of Shae O Omonijo's videos, and immediately knew she was exactly the person to have this conversation with. If you want to actually learn about AI without fear mongering, how it’s fuelling anti intellectualism, and what we can all individually do about it to use it in a more thoughtful way, stick with me, because Shae is doing a Harvard PHD on exactly that! I hope you love this conversation as much as I did. + SHAE OMONIJO IG: https://www.instagram.com/iamshaeo/?hl=en TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@iamshaeo Substack: https://shaeomonijo.substack.com/ + SIGN UP TO THE WORKING…

You can do all the glowing up in the world, but here’s the thing, if you don’t actually trust yourself, none of it means anything. I’ve worked really hard on my self confidence and self assurance over the last few years, and honestly, it’s been way harder than I expected. Even now, there are days where if someone questioned me enough, I’d genuinely start doubting things I know are true. And that’s not because I’m incapable, it’s because I’ve learnt that self belief does not come naturally to most of us, and is something you have to actively build. So today, I want to talk about what a real glow up actually looks like, not just externally, but internally too. This isn’t about being nice to yourself all the time and saying it’s self care, it’s about discipline, boundaries, structure, and self worth, and how those things actually work together in reality. I’m chatting to Dr Ewoma to break this down properly, from building self assurance without losing self awareness, to tightening up your routines, elevating…

If you’ve ever stood in front of a full wardrobe and still felt like you had nothing to wear, let me tell you, you are not alone. I’m going to be really honest with you, I find deciding what to wear SO hard, not only do I never give myself enough time, but my neurodivergent brain makes it very difficult to visualise outfits beyond my go-to items, but at the same time I really want to be creative and enjoy getting dressed, and nothing makes me feel better than a great outfit! So, I made it one of my new year’s resolutions this year is to be more intentional about my outfits, and find an easier way to do so when I’m busy and stressed. So I’ve gone down a rabbit hole and looked through all the advice from the experts, and I wanted to make is a busy girl’s guide to how to dress better, for all of us who get that wardrobe paralysis!

Today we’re back for another episode of our new year series, and we are doing a big fat new year reset with someone who makes nutrition simple instead of stressful!!

I always say I won’t shy away from money conversations on this podcast because as much as we don’t want to admit it, it is so important to all of our lives, and insanely still taboo for podcast with a primarily female audience.
