For this week's Future Self Series episode, we've got Dr Megan Rossi, aka The Gut Health Doctor, covering. She's a leading gut health scientist, dietitian and bestselling author, to unpack how your gut influences far more than just digestion. Megan breaks down the science behind your microbiome and its connection to your mood, energy, immunity and mental health. Plus the all important, research-backed steps we can all take to improve our gut health. If you've ever felt like something is off but can't quite put your finger on it, this episode might just be the missing piece in building your future self!!

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.

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 [email protected] 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 BATE Website: https://www.fayebate.online/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drfayebate/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@drfayebate TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drfayebate Her Discussions podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/her-discussions-by-dr-faye/id1835829612 Her Discussions Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/herdiscussionspod/ Linktree: https://linktr.ee/fayebate + 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 [email protected] 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 Working Hard! We're nearing the end of part one, where today we're moving from mindset into mechanics, how to actually build a routine and a plan that sticks, with a specific long-term horizon. Today's cover teacher Dr Rangan Chatterjee, one of the UK's most influential doctors, a practising GP for over 20 years, host of Feel Better Live More, and a four-time Sunday Times bestselling author. He walks us through why most five-year plans don't work, the traps people fall into, and how to reverse engineer your vision all the way back to what you do this week, in a way that's actually maintainable. Rangan's also shared his top planning frameworks in this week's Working Hard newsletter, the link to sign up is below! + DR CHATTERJEE Website: https://drchatterjee.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drchatterjee/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DrChatterjeeRangan Feel Better, Live More podcast: https://drchatterjee.com/podcast/ Friday Five newsletter: https://drchatterjee.com/newsletter/ Books: https://drchatterjee.com/books/ + SIGN UP TO THE WORKING HARD NEWSLETTER FOR JEMMA'S RECOMMENDATIONS: https://www.workinghard.co.uk/welcome + 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 [email protected] 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 SBEG Listen 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 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 [email protected] 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.

If you've been here a while, you might have noticed something’s a little different about this episode, and that’s because this is the first episode of our brand new series, the Future Self Series!! So this episode is the first of a twelve-part series - one that’s completely free, and designed to help you reverse engineer the life you want whilst I'm on my mat leave. While I’m gone, I’ll be passing the mic to some incredible experts who’ll take you through episodes we’ve worked really hard to build together. These are people I love, who've genuinely shaped how I think about mindset, identity, money, health, relationships, social media. ​They’re at the top in their fields, and I’ve hand-picked every single one of them (because I don’t share this mic with just anyone). I’ve invited them all to the office to break down their own versions of formulas that they’ve used to design specific parts of their own lives. And of course if you know me, you’ll know there has to be a structure to all this. So this first episode is the start of part 1 - the first of 3 parts: - Part 1 will help you figure out WHAT your plan actually looks like - Part 2 will look at how you can execute it - Part 3, looks at how you can perfect the systems around you to help your plan run as smoothly as possible So for this first episode, there is genuinely no one I would rather open this entire series with than Roxie Nafousi. If you’ve been living under a rock, Roxie is the author of Manifest, a Sunday Times Bestseller, which became an absolute phenomenon and has sold over 1 million copies in 37 languages. If part of you doesn't quite believe your ideal life is possible right now, I promise you'll leave this episode feeling motivated, convinced, and genuinely deserving of every bit of it. + ROXIE NAFOUSI Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/roxienafousi/?hl=en Website: https://roxienafousi.com/ Manifest App: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/the-manifest-app/id6759167090 + SIGN UP TO THE WORKING HARD NEWSLETTER FOR ROXIE'S RECOMMENDATIONS: https://www.workinghard.co.uk/welcome + 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 [email protected] 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 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?

Our 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!

Today 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!!

I 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.

A 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.
