   How to Build Wealth in Your 20s & 30s Without Giving Up the Life You Want

   This episode is a guide to building financial freedom and being radically transparent about how to do it. Today I'm joined by Mia McGrath, who you’ll probably know from her super transparent money journey online, she went from earning a starting salary in her junior fashion job to being on the road to her first million, and she's documented every step of the way, super transparently. She has a fascinating story and was so open as to how that's impacted her life and her attitude to her finances. MIA'S LINKS: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/miarose_mcgrath/?hl=en Website:…

   Why your life hasn't changed (no matter how hard you've tried)

   Now I LOVE personal growth, I’m very aware that I have built my career on talking about systems and habits and discipline. But I also know firsthand how frustrating it is when you follow all the steps and nothing really changes at the level you hoped it would. So today I want to go past the ten step lists, not because they are useless, but because they are incomplete on their own, and I want to talk about why your life might not have changed even though you have genuinely been trying really hard. Thank you so much to the brilliant John Amaechi for being my expert for this episode, if you…

   Your 3 step guide to stopping fear from holding you back in life

   This week, we are talking about something that I genuinely think is shaping our careers, our creativity, our relationships, and our confidence more than we realise, which is the fear of being cringe. I did a bonus episode on this over a year ago now and it got such a huge response, and since then I’ve come to genuinely think the main thing that holds most people back is not lack of talent, not lack of ideas, not even lack of discipline. It’s fear of what other people think. So this episode is basically me unpacking all of that, the psychology behind why we care so much about what people…

   A guide to surviving your 20s and thriving in your 30s with Ashley James

   I was so excited to record with Ashley James, I've loved her videos for ages, and I knew we'd get on like a house on fire. We talk about shame, body image, speaking up, and how your relationship with yourself evolves over time. And I think if you’re in a phase where you’re questioning things a bit, you’re going through a big life change like me, or you’re trying to feel more confident, or just trying to understand yourself a bit better, there will be something in this episode for you. So think of it as a bit of a guide to surviving your 20s, thriving in your 30s, and just generally learning…

   Having an alter ego is the key to confidence, here's how to create yours in 3 steps (the science)

   An episode like old times: I found a theory, and became obsessed with it! So let's break down the science behind alter egos, why they actually work, and how to create one in a way that doesn’t feel weird and won’t mean you lose yourself.

   Give me 20 minutes to make you dangerously mentally strong (so you can achieve your goals) with Maya Raichoora | Future Self Series Ep.5

   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…

   What your 50-year-old self wishes you’d done for your health in your 20s & 30s with Dr Faye Bate | Future Self Series Ep.4

   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:…

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.

    How to make big, life changing decisions that will decide your future with Jemma Sbeg | Future Self Series Ep.2

    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…
