Working Hard with Grace Beverley

Our first solo episode of the new era! In this episode I want to get into why procrastination isn’t really about laziness. It’s a deeply ingrained behavior with psychological roots, and avoiding it is a skill you can learn & practice.A huge thank you to Professor Fuschia Sirois for speaking to me as part of my research for this episode. Fuschia is working on an anti-procrastination tool called TEMPO toolkit. It's free to use and you can register your interest for when it launches here: https://fuschiasirois.com/2024/11/12/do-you-or-someone-you-know-struggle-with-procrastination/+Follow us on Instagram @workinghardpod and TikTok @workinghardpodcast!

We're back!! And we've had a little spruce up.Before I get into this description, first agenda point is: follow @workinghardpod on Instagram! We're here: https://www.instagram.com/workinghardpod/As part of this relaunch I wanted to create a space for everyone who listens and watches our podcast that is super inspiring & brings value to your feed. We’ve got lots of exciting plans, including a huge giveaway (which I haven’t mentioned anywhere but here, so you’re first to know).What a full circle it was to record with Conna when we were both in LA. This is the definition of an unfiltered founder to founder chat. We really got into it. Goal setting, life plans, business growth, boundaries. I loved recording it so much, I hope you enjoy watching it too.Also, what do we think of the new music?

I hope you’re having a great week so far. We’re currently on a little podcast break at Working Hard, Hardly Working whilst we work on something hugely exciting which is coming very soon and I focus on opening the first ever TALA store which I still cannot believe is happening! But you know I would never leave you without inspiring content on a monday morning! So I’ve picked my absolute favourite episodes from the nearly 130 we’ve released. Today's is with the gorgeous Jemma Sbeg, host of The Psychology of Your 20s! Jemma is someone everyone in their twenties needs. Her podcast The Psychology of Your 20s, was one of the 20 most listened to podcasts in the WORLD last year, and she started it as a hobby whilst working her 80+ hour a week corporate job. I’ll be totally clear with you, my aim going into this episode was to get as much advice from Jemma as physically possible, to make it a guide to owning and understanding what is arguably the most confusing decade of our lives. We covered everything from finding your dream job, to comparison, to moving to a new city and so much more. +JEMMA'S LINKS:The Psychology Of Your 20s: https://www.psychologyofyour20s.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thatpsychologypodcast/?hl=enPersonal IG: https://www.instagram.com/jemmasbeg/?hl=en+MY LINKS: https://gracebeverley.komi.io/+SHREDDY, TALA and THE PRODUCTIVITY METHOD are my own brands, therefore any mention of them - whilst not being a sponsorship - is monetarily endorsed.

Debbie has not only been a trailblazer in the digital and tech industries, but she’s also someone who has continuously pushed the boundaries of what’s possible in the corporate world.I wanted this episode to be a manual for exactly how to build your dream corporate career, we get into the weeds of what it takes to get ahead, the key difference with high performers, the art of being a good manager, and generally how to navigate the complexities of the corporate world.+DEBBIE'S LINKSLinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/debbie-w-62b2a44 +MY LINKS: https://gracebeverley.komi.io/+SHREDDY, TALA and THE PRODUCTIVITY METHOD are my own brands, therefore any mention of them - whilst not being a sponsorship - is monetarily endorsed.

Today's is with the man with the most soothing voice in the world (who also happens to be a world renowned psychologist) Professor John Amaechi.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. +JOHN'S LINKS: LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/amaechiInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/johnamaechiobe/?hl=enAPS: https://www.apsintel.com/ +MY LINKS: https://gracebeverley.komi.io/+SHREDDY, TALA and THE PRODUCTIVITY METHOD are my own brands, therefore any mention of them - whilst not being a sponsorship - is monetarily endorsed.

But you know I would never leave you without inspiring content on a monday morning! So I’ve picked my absolute favourite episodes from the nearly 130 we’ve released. Today's is with the geneticist & fertility researcher Dr Helen O'Neill. Dr O’Neill is a leading expert in reproductive science, she’s a lecturer in reproductive and molecular genetics at University College London, she has a Masters in Prenatal Genetics and Fetal Medicine and a PhD in Stem Cell Biology. She is also the founder and CEO of Hertility Health, an award-winning bio-tech business specialising in fertility testing that has raised over £5 million since launch.Fertility is obviously a hugely sensitive topic, but it’s also one that we never talk about for exactly that reason. When I started this podcast, I wanted it to cover the important topics that we never get taught, and I learnt so so much from Helen that I really couldn’t believe I haven’t researched or known before. If you’re thinking about switching off right now because you find the idea of fertility testing terrifying like I do, I promise you it’s worth sticking it out and listening to this one. However, if you are someone who is currently struggling to conceive, or finds fertility conversations particularly hard, this is an episode to skip.+HELEN'S LINKS:Hertility: https://hertilityhealth.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.helenoneill/?hl=en +MY LINKS: https://gracebeverley.komi.io/+SHREDDY, TALA and THE PRODUCTIVITY METHOD are my own brands, therefore any mention of them - whilst not being a sponsorship - is monetarily endorsed.

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.

Siff Haider was fed up with the lack of problem-specific supplements on the market, had an idea that would solve the problem, spent her wedding savings on making it happen, made $1 million dollars in her first year, and has now seen the business grow 10 fold. But I’ll be honest, this isn’t just an episode about Siff’s business journey. A few months ago I became obsessed with her tiktoks on the high maintenance rules she lives by to stay low maintenance, the routines she swears by, the hot girl habits she sticks to - and so this is genuinely a case of me inviting Siff on to have a chat all about exactly that. I joked the other day in my vlog that my 2025 aim is to get hot, in all senses of the word, and if that’s something you want to do this year too - this episode is genuinely a great starting point.

Irene Agbontaen is a someone whose career is defined by being the change she wanted to see. Back in 2018, she was becoming increasingly frustrated at the lack of clothes on the market for taller women, so she took matters into her own hands and founded TTYA, which stands for Taller Than Your Average. The brand saw monumental success, however, since then, she's curated a multifaceted career for herself just by saying yes.Download Revolut using this link, spend, and get £20: https://get.revolut.com/E528/gracebeverleypod+IRENEIG: https://www.instagram.com/irenettya/?hl=en+CHAPTERS0:00 introduction1:39 Her childhood & aspirations10:15 Having a picture of what you want to do12:14 How she got her first big break19:49 Hustling to get her brand off the ground27:12 Getting her first order from selfridges29:19 True hustle & running club nights34:34 The biggest challenges she faced42:17 How to turn everything into an opportunity50:00 Not changing yourself to fit a career56:20 Buying 2 properties & how she did it+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 done rebranding (planning for 2025), we’ve done discipline (actually sticking to your routine), and so the third and final part of the new year mini series is all about getting yourself in the right mental state to be able to achieve those new shiny goals you set for yourself.I discovered Maya a few months ago, and loved her approach to mental fitness as something we actually work on & train, compared to just talking about our ‘mental health’ as something we all have. So this episode is essentially a free session with a renowned brain coach, we did guided visualisations (permission to lol at my meditation face), she taught me how to mentally rehearse like Venus Williams & also said the best advice quote I think we’ve ever had in 122 episodes, hope you love it! +Download Revolut with my link, spend, and get £20 (End date and T&Cs apply) https://get.revolut.com/E528/gracebeverleypod+MAYAIG: https://www.instagram.com/maya.mental.fitness/?hl=enWebsite: https://mayaraichoora.com/Visualise: Think, Feel, Perform Like the Top 1% by Maya Raichoora is published by Rider (Penguin Random House) on 27 March.+CHAPTERS0:00 Introduction3:49: Working Hard or Hardly Working?4:48: The diagnosis that changed her life aged 1510:05: How much her healing journey was her mindset13:47: The difference between mental health & mental fitness18:56: The pillars of mental fitness20:55: Why training our brain gets harder after 2522:33: How to implement it into your life24:57: The basics of visualisation27:30: Showing the power of visualisation31:25: The difference between visualisation & overthinking24:27: The second arrow parable35:56: Controlling your emotions when you're exhausted42:27: How long does it take to build confidence44:20: How to stop falling back into your old routines46:31: How to stop using your past as validation49:02: How to communicate your growth to others55:33: The best advice she's ever been given+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.

Discipline is a weird one isn't it, the discourse is so massively dominated by podcast bros telling you to dig in, and when I googled 'books on discipline', I could barely find one by a woman.But it’s something should still speak about (even if it makes us seem podcast bro), because when we learn to harness it its hugely powerful, and actually sticking to a routine is so so much more important than creating one. The fact of the matter is that discipline is what actually keeps you going towards your goals when your new year's resolutions are crumpled in the bottom of your handbag.  If you missed the first part of our new years series with Roxie Nafousi, you can listen here: https://shows.acast.com/working-hard-hardly-working/episodes/ep-120-how-to-rebrand-your-life-in-2025-with-roxie-nafousi+Download Revolut with my link, spend, and get £20 (End date and T&Cs apply) https://get.revolut.com/e9Jc/gracebeverleypod+CHAPTERS0:00 Intro3:14 The Context, what is discipline?6:35 The Data10:23 The Theories, how does it work?18:00 Putting it into practice+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.

Back in September, I sat down with Roxie Nafousi to talk all things manifesting - I had a long episode plan, I had questions upon questions, but did we get through them? No.Anyway, that was one of our most popular episodes of all time - so I asked Roxie if she would come back to give us all the new year pep talk we need, because it’s manifesting season.You can listen to my first episode with Roxie here: https://shows.acast.com/working-hard-hardly-working/episodes/ep-104-7-steps-to-create-the-future-you-want-and-change-your+Download Revolut with my link, spend, and get £20 (End date and T&Cs apply) https://get.revolut.com/e9Jc/gracebeverleypod+To hear Roxie's 7 steps first hand, Roxie's next MANIFEST: Live workshop is taking place on February 8th at London's Alexandra Palace: https://roxienafousi.com/events/manifest-live/Pre-order Roxie's new book, Confidence: 8 steps to knowing your worth, here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Confidence-steps-knowing-your-worth/dp/1399734830/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1PAADD5WOAROX&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.f_IjCBcXwqxPLjdx2eNLlGNkn4UUO7pVoLw1BNC3T8FaplXlSiTYZnpIO6eKq2XxtqxBvWgaDcyhrD9pEjEX-VTl0OhaAc3U1v896dmyM9tg1gGtC-whFqYDXv6meL_Z.cOO0CxHjEI43WjaT3N_4wk9M-kWxjKemAiYipETHJtI&dib_tag=se&keywords=confidence+roxie+nafousi&nsdOptOutParam=true&qid=1735294097&sprefix=confidence+by+roxie+%2Caps%2C77&sr=8-1+CHAPTERS0:00 Introduction5:18: Recap - what is manifesting?6:56: Roxie's attitude to new year8:39: Roxie's resetting process for a new year10:59: Her vision boarding hack14:10: How to know what success looks like for you17:27: Her take on the rebrand trend18:57: The steps to follow for a 2025 rebrand20:46: What to do if you keep falling off your goals28:30: Changing the people you surround yourself with35:49: The biggest lesson Roxie learnt in 202438:04: How to avoid burnout this year41:06: How to manifest love & relationships44:50: Pulling our 2025 affirmations50:55: The best way to take back control of your life+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 first 1000 listeners can use code WORKINGHARD for 50% off The Productivity Method digital planner: https://productivitymethod.com/pages/digital-plannerAs we near the end of the year, my planning mode kicks into high gear, red lights start flashing in my head & I get very anxious if I’m more than a metre away for a planner. On a serious note though, facing 365 days all at once can feel overwhelming, but I truly believe that breaking it down makes it manageable—and honestly, pretty exciting. I’m not one for the whole "new year, new me" thing, but I do love the opportunity a new year brings to reset, realign, plan exciting moments and set achievable goals.I did a video last year all about how to plan for 2024, and it was one of our most popular to date. So I thought I’d do an updated one including everything I’ve learnt about planning this year & how I use AI to help me!So, grab your favorite matcha, coffee or tea, and let’s dive into creating our best year yet for 2025 (and beyond)!+Download Revolut with my link, spend, and get £20 (End date and T&Cs apply) https://get.revolut.com/e9Jc/gracebeverleypod+CHAPTERS0:00 Introduction1:27 The pep talk you need to hear4:17 Step 1: Reflection6:17 Step 2: Knowing here you are going8:32 Step 3: Goal setting10:53 Step 4: Habit tracking13:30 Step 5: Staying consistent+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.

Jade Holland Cooper founded Holland Cooper in 2008 with the ambition to bring luxurious British heritage to a modern audience. What began as a small collection of tailored tweed clothing that she sold on a stand at horse shows, has grown into a global brand that now turns over £40m a year. I wanted this episode to be a deep dive into her journey—how she went from country fairs to building an empire, the key inflection points, and what it is about her that’s given her such a mindset for success & viral product creation. If you're interested in entrepreneurship, brand building, this episode is for you.+Download Revolut with my link, spend, and get £20 (End date and T&Cs apply) https://get.revolut.com/e9Jc/gracebeverleypod+JADE:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jadehollandcooper/?hl=enHolland Cooper: https://www.hollandcooper.com/+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.
