Today's episode of Working Hard, Hardly Working is one of our most highly requested solo episodes: it's all about how to be a better manager.
Management truly is one of the most important skills to have in the workplace, but most of us are never taught how to do it.
I find it so strange that it's one of those skills we're expected to just 'pick up' even though it's not a skill the majority of people specialise in when entering their careers, and it often doesn't come as second nature (it certainly didn't to me!). Plus, it's categorically the most important skill for career progression.
I hope you find this episode helpful and enjoy listening!

When I started the podcast I wanted it to be all about life improvement from every angle, not just the ones we're all taught about.
We've put so much effort into improving the guest episodes this year, but if I'm totally honest I felt the solo episodes needed re-vamping to make them the most useful resource possible. I LOVE explainer podcasts on everything from history to celebrity scandals. So we're trialling a new 15-minute explainer format. I’ve given myself an excuse to spend hours researching the topics I wish I knew more about so you don’t need to read a whole book to understand something important.
So I've started with one of the most important things I've researched over the last few years: habit theory and why everyone on Instagram says it changed their life (including me).
The episode is only 15 minutes long, so perfect for your morning hot girl walk! Let me know what you think!

Ep. 85 The Habit Theory That Changed My Life, Explained

Emily English is a nutritionist on a mission - she’s a qualified nutritionist with a BSC from Kings College London, and she now has over a million followers who love her easy & healthy recipes, and simple explanations. 
Emily is a glowy picture of health, but it wasn’t until her relationship with food suffered that she decided to explore our relationship with food as a whole.
I can’t thank Emily enough for sharing her story and being so open about the struggles she’s faced to get to where she is now. I really quizzed her in this episode about the fundamentals of diet & nutrition, there’s so much actionable advice in this one. I hope you enjoy it!

Ep. 83 Why The First 5 Minutes Of Your Day Are The Most Important With Dr Rangan Chatterjee

It’s safe to say that Aimee Smale has had a whirlwind few years. Aged just 21 she left her job at Asos to found Odd Muse, a fashion brand known for tailoring and sleek silhouettes. She openly admits she had no experience running a business, yet within her first three months, she’d made over £100,000 after her designs captured huge audiences online. 
Now, Odd Muse is going from strength to strength, opening their first permanent store in London this year. I can’t wait for you to hear Aimee’s story. If you’re sitting in a full-time job and you’ve ever wanted to set up your own venture - this episode is for you.

Ep. 82 The Real Story Behind Odd Muse With Aimee Smale

Dr Helen 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.
