157. You're Not Being Consistent Because You're Burnt Out... Here's What To Do About It
13:26||Ep. 157I wasn’t sure whether to do a solo episode on burnout, because honestly, it felt a bit embarrassing to admit. I’m not scared to say publicly that I tie a lot of my self worth to my achievement and productivity, and I always thought I should be able to manage my own life and workload without talking about the fact that I’ve made some big mistakes and very much been in the depths of it before.But after last week’s chat with Dr Julie, I got so many messages from fellow burnout cycle loving girlies, that I thought i was doing myself and them a bit of a disservice not releasing this one!If you are struggling with your mental health, here are some help lines:Samaritans: 116 123 (free from any UK phone)SANEline: 0300 304 7000 (4.30pm–10pm every day)CALM on 0800 58 58 58 (5pm–midnight every day)Find a qualified therapist in the UK: https://www.bacp.co.uk/about-therapy/using-our-therapist-directory/+This episode is sponsored by Adobe Express, you can find my pitch deck template on Adobe Express here, for free: https://adobe.chrd.ly/ExpressGracePodcast+READING LISTDr Claire Plumley, Burnout: https://www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/products/burnout-book-claire-plumbly-9781399733410?sku=NGR9781399733410&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=19658855998&gbraid=0AAAAADZzAID9Tt5jbRsPuBSe8iheU5wJq&gclid=CjwKCAjwwNbEBhBpEiwAFYLtGN3Bd-SL2dlLzOPfm4a5ZXnBOEhb9OoU9WLP6ZWr840O5jqYFKWGDhoCiAAQAvD_BwEDr Julie, Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Why-Nobody-Told-This-Before/dp/0241529719+SIGN UP TO THE WORKING HARD NEWSLETTER: https://graceb.myflodesk.com/k0sfhlac34+FOLLOW THE PODCASTInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/workinghardpod/?hl=en-gbTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@workinghardpodcast?lang=en+DILEMMA SUBMISSIONIf you'd like to submit any dilemmas to the podcast to be answered in the bonus episodes, please send them to podcast@grace-beverley.com with the subject beginning DILEMMAS or DM us @workinghardpod on instagram!+MY LINKS: https://gracebeverley.komi.io/+RETROGRADE, SHREDDY, TALA and THE PRODUCTIVITY METHOD are my own businesses, therefore any mention of them - whilst not being a sponsorship - is monetarily endorsed.

19:40||Ep. 154Today’s episode is a bit of a different one. I asked what episodes you’d like me to touch on, and I got so many requests to do one on tips for early-stage business owners. It’s been on my ‘episodes to record’ list for months now, and today, we’re finally sitting down and doing it.I think if we truly exhausted the list of mistakes I’ve made and what I’ve learnt from we would actually be here for days, maybe we’d break the record for the longest podcast of all time (and beat Joe Rogan), but that wouldn’t be enjoyable for anyone, so i’ve picked my 4 most important lessons to go through in this episode, and if you find it useful, we can definitely do more of these type of solo eps! +PITCH DECK TEMPLATEThis audio episode is not sponsored by Adobe but I am working in partnership with them at the moment, and as part of that partnership, we've worked together on a pitch deck template which you can find here: https://adobe.chrd.ly/GraceBeverleyxAdobeExpressYTI know pitch deck best practice is individual to every industry, but I really hope this will help if you're considering investment for your business!

We’ve been talking about launching a newsletter for forever, but I didn’t want to do it until we knew it could be the most useful it could possible be! I am personally very against inbox filling fluff, and I’m very picky with what I sign up to, so the brief for the Working Hard newsletter was a 3 minute read that helps you consume smarter, not longer. You don’t need me to tell you we waste actual years of our lives scrolling, so I wanted to create a newsletter that was packed full of recommendations, hacks & extra bts from the podcast.You can sign up here: https://graceb.myflodesk.com/k0sfhlac34+SOP doc from my business course, The Business Method: https://thebusinessmethodsop.notion.site/Defining-Your-Business-SOPs-23e68a33e31280b7bc88c758acdbadcd+MY LINKS: https://gracebeverley.komi.io/+RETROGRADE, SHREDDY, TALA and THE PRODUCTIVITY METHOD are my own businesses, therefore any mention of them - whilst not being a sponsorship - is monetarily endorsed.

43:33||Ep. 153Trigger warning: I discuss fertility testing and weight loss in this episode, so please avoid this episode if those topics are triggering for youOn Monday we did an episode with the amazing Hazel Wallace all about PCOS and gynae health. It was an education, and I’m so thankful to Hazel for helping me create a resource for everyone who wants to know more about it as a condition and all the latest research. I mentioned in the episode that I’ve been on a real journey with my PCOS this year. It was one of my new years resolutions to get it under control, and I know health doesn’t always love sticking to resolutions, but hey, I’m a goal orientated girl. So, after the episode I had loads of DMs asking what I’ve specifically done this year to tackle my PCOS, improve my skin, lose weight, lower my inflammation and generally improve my all round health, so I thought, why don’t I take you through it in a bonus episode.Quick disclaimer before we begin, I’m not a doctor. I’m just a girl who was fed up of her symptoms and wanted to try absolutely everything to feel her best for her wedding!This is my personal experience and not medical advice. If you want a medical expert’s take on PCOS, go and listen to Monday’s episode with Hazel!+FOLLOW THE PODCAST Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/workinghardpod/?hl=en-gb TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@workinghardpodcast?lang=en +DILEMMA SUBMISSIONIf you'd like to submit any dilemmas to the podcast to be answered in the bonus episodes, please send them to podcast@grace-beverley.com with the subject beginning DILEMMAS or DM us @workinghardpod on instagram!+MY LINKS: https://gracebeverley.komi.io/+RETROGRADE, SHREDDY, TALA and THE PRODUCTIVITY METHOD are my own businesses, therefore any mention of them - whilst not being a sponsorship - is monetarily endorsed.

The Ultimate Guide to PCOS: Reversing Your Symptoms, Diet Changes & Medication with Dr Hazel Wallace
01:06:18||Ep. 152In today’s episode, we’re digging into a topic that impacts millions of women, but still isn’t widely understood: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome or PCOS. It’s a personal one for me, as I’ve had PCOS for over a decade now, and whenever I search for information about the condition, I’m faced with reddit threads rather than professional advice, because so little research is done into PCOS and conditions like it. So, I wanted to create a resource for people like me, who are struggling to understand what they’re going through and desperate for information. So today we’re talking symptoms, diagnosis, lifestyle changes that actually help, and how to advocate for yourself when you’re not being heard. So, If you’ve ever struggled with your cycle, your skin, your mood, or been gaslit at the GP about your pain, this episode is for you.+DR HAZEL WALLACE Her new book, Not Just A Period: https://www.waterstones.com/book/not-just-a-period/hazel-wallace/9781035049592Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drhazelwallace/?hl=en-gbWebsite: https://www.drhazelwallace.co.uk/ +CHAPTERS0:00 Introduction 02:06 Working Hard or Hardly Working 02:45 Hazel’s PCOS journey 05:12 The difficulty of getting a diagnosis 8:13 What is PCOS and why is it so misunderstood?11:42 PCOS diagnosis requirements 14:39 PCOS vs Endometriosis16:00 Can you reverse PCOS? 16:55 Weight loss & PCOS 19:30 Nutrition tips for PCOS 23:46 Grace’s PCOS journey this year27:59 Fasted exercise & women’s health30:26 PCOS supplements33:00 Exercise & PCOS 40:57 The impact of stress 44:39 Insulin resitance 46:42 Metformin & spironolactone52:36 Medication vs Lifestyle56:00 Listener questions 58:11 Regular cycles & hormones 1:00:15 How to advocate for yourself at Drs1:01:47 Reducing PMS symptoms 1:05:10 Her biggest lesson 1:05:50 Best piece of advice +MY LINKS: https://gracebeverley.komi.io/+RETROGRADE, SHREDDY, TALA and THE PRODUCTIVITY METHOD are my own businesses, therefore any mention of them - whilst not being a sponsorship - is obviously monetarily endorsed.
