Working Hard with Grace Beverley
Ep. 127 Everything You Need To Know To Sort Out Your Finances & Make The Most Of Your Money
Ep. 127
•
After our New Year compilation episode about improving your life went crazy, I asked what other theme led episodes you’d like, and SO many of you said finances, money moola.
So the aim for this episode, is everything you need to know about money, and I took this as a wide definition, we’re going from literally why money exists & why they can’t print more - to saving, investing, raising funds and even some deep stuff on attitudes to money & wealth.
This kind of stuff is something we were never every taught in school - it’s crazy to me that I know more about algebra than I do how to save & spend my own money wisely. I hope you find it useful!

220. Why our frictionless lives are making us miserable and how to stop it
17:38||Ep. 220We'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?Katherine's article in The Cut: https://www.thecut.com/article/brooding-friction-maxxing-new-years-2026-resolution.html The catch-up friends bonus episode: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2t3hom9tw1TYmCalzFO2Si +SIGN UP TO THE WORKING HARD NEWSLETTER: https://www.workinghard.co.uk/welcome+FOLLOW THE PODCASTInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/workinghard...TikTok: / workinghardpodcast+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.

119. The lies we all tell ourselves about our careers with Jemma Sbeg (LIVE)
48:01||Ep. 119Our 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!

218. The 5 systems that changed my productivity & my life forever
14:11||Ep. 218Today 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!!The other episodes I mentioned: - The calendar bonus episode: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3YUDprqI5UKB2KHn379C8U - The goal setting episode: https://youtu.be/kHbdjlyMrVQ?si=HjDrv4Lwadd_JtUb +SIGN UP TO THE WORKING HARD NEWSLETTER: https://graceb.myflodesk.com/k0sfhlac34+FOLLOW THE PODCASTInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/workinghard...TikTok: / workinghardpodcast +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.

217. A Doctor’s guide to eating for your health (a full food reset with Dr Rupy)
01:16:25||Ep. 217If you’re feeling mystified by what to eat, this episode is for you. 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 hope you love it!

215. How to "marry well" in 2026 (and stop dating the wrong people)
19:40||Ep. 215I 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. And that was the brief for this episode. +SIGN UP TO THE WORKING HARD NEWSLETTER: https://graceb.myflodesk.com/k0sfhlac34+FOLLOW THE PODCASTInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/workinghard...TikTok: / workinghardpodcast +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.

213. How to actually build better habits (and stop getting in your own way) with Nir Eyal
01:06:13||Ep. 213A 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.

212. How to have better conversations (that add true value to your life)
22:38||Ep. 212Today we’re getting into the actual science of great conversation and ultimately why curiosity is a more powerful social skill than charisma, and how to make yourself a better conversationalist in any scenario, whether that’s a first date, a job interview, or a catch up with a friend.Thank you so much to the brilliant Susie Ashfield for being my expert for this episode, you can find her links below: Website: https://susieashfield.com/IG: https://www.instagram.com/susieashfieldspeechcoach/Book: https://www.waterstones.com/book/just-f-king-say-it/susie-ashfield/9781783968725?+ SIGN UP TO THE WORKING HARD NEWSLETTER: https://graceb.myflodesk.com/k0sfhlac34+FOLLOW THE PODCASTInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/workinghardpod/?hl=enTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@workinghardpodcast+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.
