  • 80. Ep. 80 How To Rewire Your Brain For Resilience + Success With Professor Steve Peters

    54:22
    Professor Steve Peters has more Olympic medals and world championships to his name than you can count, with accolades in sports from athletics to football, cycling and snooker. But here’s the catch, he hasn’t ever played these sports professionally. Instead, he’s the ‘brain mechanic’ behind the world’s most successful teams and individuals, from England Football to British Cycling. In fact, Snooker World Champion Ronnie O’Sullivan credits Peters with his success.  His advice was incredible, and I can’t wait for you to listen to this one. It is such an honour to have such impressive and intelligent people in my office for this podcast, so I hope you enjoy listening. The Chimp Paradox: https://chimpmanagement.com/books-by-professor-steve-peters/the-chimp-paradox/A Path Through The Jungle: https://chimpmanagement.com/books-by-professor-steve-peters/a-path-through-the-jungle/+Download Revolut for free and get £20 when you use your card! www.revolut.com/graceCashback subject to availability.

    42:28
    Katie Lopes is a woman with resilience. She’s the founder and creative director of sustainable underwear brand Stripe and Stare, but her journey to get there has been anything but smooth sailing. Katie has faced more than your average setbacks, and today she tells me about the tools she used to overcome £1.5 million in debt, a relationship breakdown and heartbreaking loss, and to come out the other side with a growing company and growing self-confidence. She says “I didn’t have the confidence in myself until life tested me and I had no choice.” Her story is incredible, and a real testament to the fact that sometimes you just have to put your “big girl pants on” and find your way through.+Follow me here: https://gracebeverley.komi.io/Shop Stripe & Stare here: https://stripeandstare.com/+SPONSORSDownload Revolut for free and get £20 when you use your card! www.revolut.com/graceCashback subject to availability.

  • 76. Ep. 76 Why You’re Struggling With Motivation And How To Fix It With John Amaechi OBE

    01:11:44
    It is an understatement to say that John Amaechi has had a career that has taken him places. Not only is he an Organisational Psychologist, an OBE, a New York Times Bestselling Author, a Fellow of the Institute of Science and Technology, a Professor of Leadership, a non-executive director of an FTSE 250 company and the founder of organisational psychology consultancy APS. He was also, more surprisingly, the first Briton to play professional basketball in the NBA league, a move which saw him leave his hometown of Stockport for the world of professional basketball aged just 18. And whilst playing, he was the first NBA player to come out as gay. Never afraid to stand up and speak out, his book made me question a lot of things I thought I knew about myself and the way I live and work. Amaechi has spent years studying the world’s highest performers, in both the sporting and corporate world, and I’m so looking forward to everyone hearing his amazing techniques. I learnt so much in this chat and I’m sure you will too. I'd be so grateful if you could rate the podcast five stars.+Download Revolut for free and get £20 when you use your card! www.revolut.com/graceCashback subject to availability.

  • 75. Ep. 75 Alice Liveing On The Dark Side Of Social Media, Influencing & Diet Culture

    01:04:59
    Trigger warning: eating disordersI knew Alice Liveing's story was one full of twists and turns, but I did not expect to have such a frank conversation about the power we give 'social media stars' and the impact of toxic trends not just on viewers, but on the individuals perpetuating those trends.This episode is about Alice's journey to balance, but it's also about the warped reality of social media, and why we shouldn't be too harsh on ourselves about our past actions, something we all need a reminder of every so often. I hope you enjoy listening!

  • 74. Ep. 74 Why We Can’t Always Have It All And What To Do About It With Laura Jackson

    Can we really have it all? Laura Jackson is a founder, a TV presenter, a side hustler and a mother of three. So today's episode is all about balance, the 'working mother paradox', and finding joy in the chaos. Laura was also so open about her tough experience with ante-natal depression, I can't thank her enough for being so raw and honest. If you've got a non-linear career that's taken you lots of places, or you always feel like you're spinning 100 plates, this episode is for you.
