I have had the honour of interviewing so many incredible successful women on this podcast and when you sit opposite top performers week in week out, not only are you humbled, but the habits that they all share become pretty obvious.

So, this week I sat down and wrote them all out, and tried to find as many examples and studies to back them up, so we can all learn as much as possible from them!

So, if you’ve ever wondered what makes the difference between women who thrive in their careers, their personal lives, and their leadership, and those who burn out or stall, this is the episode for you!!

RETROGRADE, SHREDDY, TALA and THE PRODUCTIVITY METHOD are my own businesses, therefore any mention of them - whilst not being a sponsorship - is monetarily endorsed. As usual, sponsorships do not change my opinions nor my honesty, but I will always disclaim to make sure motives are clear 😊

Today’s episode is one I’m really excited about, because we’re talking women’s health again, and more specifically hormones. Whether it’s energy, sleep, mood, metabolism, fertility, or how we age, hormones impact everything, yet I personally barely understand them beyond our GCSE biology.

Joining me today is Professor Annice Mukherjee. Annice is a consultant physician, endocrinologist, and professor, and she’s one of the UK’s leading experts in hormone health. She’s the principal investigator for the UK’s first-ever national women’s health data registry.

I've been through the archives and pick out the best advice we’ve had from the amazing relationship experts I’ve had on over the years.

From sexologists, to relationship coaches, to girls who have just been through some SHIT and shared it on the pod, we’re going to get into it all to hopefully create a guide if you’re feeling a little lost when it comes to love, or you’re just in need of some advice.

I got married this week so I went digging in the archives and found the episode we recorded with my agent just after my engagement! It's the story of how she helped my fiancée pull off the biggest surprise of my life, at my dream location.

I hope you love it!!

I speak about my attitude to dating so much with my friends, but I never really speak about it on here, so i thought we could get into that today because as i’m getting closer to my actual wedding (wtf) i feel like i’ve been thinking a lot about what I’ve learnt about dating and to be quite frank, I’ve seen some terrifying takes online recently and I’m just not here for that!!

Matthew Hussey is the world’s leading dating coach. His YouTube channel has over 4 million subscribers and his advice has been viewed over 1.5 billion times online. He has coached celebrities, CEOs, and he’s always on The Today Show and in The New York Times. So it’s safe to say, he knows his stuff.

I met Matthew in LA earlier this year and knew I wanted him on the podcast, so the moment he touched down in London, we made it happen.

I wasn’t sure whether to do a solo episode on burnout, because honestly, it felt a bit embarrassing to admit. I’m not scared to say publicly that I tie a lot of my self worth to my achievement and productivity, and I always thought I should be able to manage my own life and workload without talking about the fact that I’ve made some big mistakes and very much been in the depths of it before.

But after last week’s chat with Dr Julie, I got so many messages from fellow burnout cycle loving girlies, that I thought i was doing myself and them a bit of a disservice not releasing this one!

Today’s episode is a bit of a different one. I asked what episodes you’d like me to touch on, and I got so many requests to do one on tips for early-stage business owners. It’s been on my ‘episodes to record’ list for months now, and today, we’re finally sitting down and doing it.

I think if we truly exhausted the list of mistakes I’ve made and what I’ve learnt from we would actually be here for days, maybe we’d break the record for the longest podcast of all time (and beat Joe Rogan), but that wouldn’t be enjoyable for anyone, so i’ve picked my 4 most important lessons to go through in this episode, and if you find it useful, we can definitely do more of these type of solo eps!

PITCH DECK TEMPLATE

WORKING HARD NEWSLETTER

You can now sign up to the brand new working hard newsletter! We’ve been talking about launching a newsletter for forever, but I didn’t want to do it until we knew it could be the most useful it could possible be! 

I am personally very against inbox filling fluff, and I’m very picky with what I sign up to, so the brief for the Working Hard newsletter was a 3 minute read that helps you consume smarter, not longer. You don’t need me to tell you we waste actual years of our lives scrolling, so I wanted to create a newsletter that was packed full of recommendations, hacks & extra bts from the podcast.
