   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:…

   5 year plans don't work. Here's how to build a routine that actually helps you achieve your goals with Dr Rangan Chatterjee | Future Self Series Ep.3

   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…

   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…

   Why our frictionless lives are making us miserable and how to stop it

   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?

   The lies we all tell ourselves about our careers with Jemma Sbeg (LIVE)

   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…

   The 5 systems that changed my productivity & my life forever

   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!!

   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…

   A Doctor’s guide to eating for your health (a full food reset with Dr Rupy)

   If you’re feeling mystified by what to eat, this episode is for you. I wanted to sit down and pick Dr Rupy's brain properly on nutrition, because he's one of the only people I've come across who actually cuts through the diet culture and wellness noise with the science, without making you feel more anxious than when you started. I hope you love it!
