Today I’m speaking with Dr Tara Swart, a world renowned neuroscientist. She has a medical degree from Oxford, a PhD in Neuropharmacology from Kings College London, and she lectures at MIT’s business school. She’s the author of the bestselling book The Source, and her new book The Signs is all about your following your instinct.

If you’re feeling off track with your goals or your motivation has dipped as the year gets going, this episode is genuinely like a reset button for your mind.

This is a bit more of a chatty one than usual, but it's something I've been thinking about a lot over the past few weeks.

Today I want to talk about how to build amazing friendships and what it really takes.

It’s about building real, amazing friendships as an adult. Not the catch-up coffee once a quarter kind of friendship, but the ones that actually feel like a village. The ones where people show up for you, and you show up for them, even when it’s inconvenient.

Today we are talking budgeting, saving, investing, debt, and mindset. Not in the usual “cut your iced latte and buy a house” way, but I wanted to tackle it in a way that actually feels achievable, empowering, and grounded in reality.

Because whatever stage you’re at in your career journey, and whatever starting point you’ve come from, money stress can take over your life if you do not have a system.

Today’s solo episode is all about your twenties, the decade everyone loves to romanticise and panic about at the exact same time. 

We’re told “these are the best years of your life”. That this is the decade where you’re supposed to find your passion, find your people, figure yourself out, build your career, start investing, go to therapy, travel the world, and somehow also enjoy being young and carefree. 

So today I wanted to break that all down. We’re going to talk about what actually matters in your twenties, what the research says about how this decade shapes the rest of your life, and how to make the most of it without losing your mind trying to do everything perfectly. 

I also spoke to the amazing Dr Meg Jay who had some great advice!

Sabrina is an entrepreneur, UN Goodwill Ambassador, and co-founder of S’ABLE Labs with her husband Idris Elba.What I love most about her story is how honest she was about the iterations of her career, and the big decisions that have led to where she's at today.

And instead of forcing her future, she changed direction. Which sounds simple, but when you’ve built your whole identity around a plan, it’s one of the hardest things to do.

I loved our chat and I hope you do to!

This week’s episode is for anyone who struggles to speak up the people who overthink every ask, soften every sentence, or apologise before they’ve even said anything.

It unpacks why asking for what you want feels so uncomfortable (especially for women), the psychology behind it, and how to start doing it without guilt.

On Monday I spoke to my wedding dress designer Kate Halfpenny on the podcast, and after we recorded I asked on the Working Hard Instagram if you had any other wedding Qs you wanted me to answer, and we had so many that I thought I’d spend a little bonus episode really rounding off the wedding content for anyone who’s getting married soon or maybe just anyone nosy who saw all the wedding content but wants the BTS!
