Working Hard with Grace Beverley

We've spent so much of the Future Self Series talking about the things WE can do to build the lives we want, but what about the people around us? Because I'm becoming more and more convinced that who you surround yourself with is just as important as how hard you work.So this week I'm joined by the brilliant psychologist Dr Lalitaa Suglani to talk about why your circle matters so much more than you think. We're getting into how to build your village, why your acquaintances might actually be the people who open the biggest doors for you, and how to work out which relationships are helping you grow and which might be holding you back. This isn't about cutting off all your friends in the name of self-improvement, but about being a bit more intentional with the people you have around you.Dr Lalitaa is also taking over this week's Working Hard newsletter with her top tips, so make sure you're signed up via the link below!+SIGN UP TO THE WORKING HARD NEWSLETTER FOR LALITAA'S RECOMMENDATIONS: https://www.workinghard.co.uk/welcome+DR LALITAA SUGLANI'S LINKS Website: https://www.drlalitaa.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.lalitaa/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.lalitaa.psychologistYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/DrLalitaaSuglaniLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-lalitaa-suglaniBook – High-Functioning Anxiety: https://drlalitaa.com/lalitaa/highfunctioninganxietyPodcast – Therapised with Dr Lalitaa: https://open.spotify.com/show/5uhOGgCklDNzV0acIwCVpdNewsletter: https://drlalitaa.ck.page/7bdd2e1bdfLinktree: https://linktr.ee/lalitaa+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.

So Episode 8 of the Future Self Series is all about money, and more specifically, how we can actually set ourselves up financially for the futures we're working so hard to build. Because as much as we all love making big plans for our lives, when was the last time you sat down and made a proper plan for your money? (And no, occasionally checking your bank balance and hoping for the best doesn't count). I think so many of us, especially women, have been made to feel like investing, pensions and building wealth are things we're just supposed to figure out on our own. So I've brought in the brilliant Bola Sol, financial adviser and author, to make the whole thing feel a lot less intimidating. We're getting into the money mistakes we're all making, the financial systems we should be setting up now, and the practical steps we can take today to make sure future us is in a much better position. Consider this your much-needed money reset.+SIGN UP TO THE WORKING HARD NEWSLETTER FOR BOLA'S RECOMMENDATIONS: https://www.workinghard.co.uk/welcome+BOLA'S LINKSWebsite: https://www.bolasol.co.uk/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bola_sol/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@bolasolLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bola-sol/Book – Your Money Life: https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/454961/your-money-life-by-sol-bola/9781529912401Book – How to Save It: https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/1120586/how-to-save-it/9781529118810.htmlPersonal links: https://stan.store/bolasol+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.

We're half way through!! This week's episode of the Future Self Series is all about building your personal brand. And before you say "but I don't have one," you do.Every result that pops up when someone googles your name, every conversation you have, everything you do publicly is already shaping how people see you. The real question is whether you're in control of it, or just looking into the void and hoping for the best.It's something I've thought about a lot recently, so to break down what an actual personal brand strategy looks like, I've brought in Grace Andrews (yes, the other Grace), who was a founding member of the team that took The Diary of a CEO from 8,000 YouTube subscribers to over nine million. She's now building her own thing from scratch and documenting every step, which is basically reverse engineering her dream life in real time.I really hope you enjoy!+SIGN UP TO THE WORKING HARD NEWSLETTER FOR GRACE'S RECOMMENDATIONS: https://www.workinghard.co.uk/welcome+GRACE ANDREWSInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/graceandrewsss/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@graceandrewsssTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@graceandrews7LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/grace-andrews1/Her substack, Community Service: https://communityservice.substack.com/+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.

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: https://x.com/maya_raichoora Book – Visualise: https://mayaraichoora.com/visualise/ + FOLLOW THE PODCAST Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/workinghardpod/?hl=en TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@workinghardpodcast + DILEMMA SUBMISSION If 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.

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 BATEWebsite: https://www.fayebate.online/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drfayebate/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@drfayebateTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drfayebateHer Discussions podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/her-discussions-by-dr-faye/id1835829612Her Discussions Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/herdiscussionspod/Linktree: https://linktr.ee/fayebate+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.

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 SBEGListen 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 NEWSLETTER FOR JEMMA'S RECOMMENDATIONS: https://www.workinghard.co.uk/welcome+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.
