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!

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.

Trigger warning: I discuss fertility testing and weight loss in this episode, so please avoid this episode if those topics are triggering for you

On Monday we did an episode with the amazing Hazel Wallace all about PCOS and gynae health. It was an education, and I’m so thankful to Hazel for helping me create a resource for everyone who wants to know more about it as a condition and all the latest research. 

I mentioned in the episode that I’ve been on a real journey with my PCOS this year. It was one of my new years resolutions to get it under control, and I know health doesn’t always love sticking to resolutions, but hey, I’m a goal orientated girl. 

So, after the episode I had loads of DMs asking what I’ve specifically done this year to tackle my PCOS, improve my skin, lose weight, lower my inflammation and generally improve my all round health, so I thought, why don’t I take you through it in a bonus episode.

Quick disclaimer before we begin, I’m not a doctor. I’m just a girl who was fed up of her symptoms and wanted to try absolutely everything to feel her best for her wedding!

This is my personal experience and not medical advice. If you want a medical expert’s take on PCOS, go and listen to Monday’s episode with Hazel!

In today’s episode, we’re digging into a topic that impacts millions of women, but still isn’t widely understood: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome or PCOS.

It’s a personal one for me, as I’ve had PCOS for over a decade now, and whenever I search for information about the condition, I’m faced with reddit threads rather than professional advice, because so little research is done into PCOS and conditions like it. So, I wanted to create a resource for people like me, who are struggling to understand what they’re going through and desperate for information.

So today we’re talking symptoms, diagnosis, lifestyle changes that actually help, and how to advocate for yourself when you’re not being heard.

So, If you’ve ever struggled with your cycle, your skin, your mood, or been gaslit at the GP about your pain, this episode is for you.

Today’s bonus episode is all about the heart vs head dilemma, how do you know when to trust your gut and when to step back and stick to the facts?

It’s a theme that came up in our Monday episode with Adrienne Adhami, I’ve got so many messages in the few days since it has gone live and then as I was doing some further reading off the back of these messages, I came across an article that took my thoughts on this even further, so I thought we could sit down for a follow up bonus episode to really get further into it.

Most of us grew up surrounded by a whirlwind of food rules. From diet culture telling us to cut carbs and count every calorie, to wellness trends convincing us that only green juices and almond flour are the path to health,it's no wonder we now feel totally disconnected from how to actually nourish our bodies.

So much of nutrition advice is either unscientific, over-simplified, or just plain wrong.

So today, I’m joined by someone who’s made it her mission to cut through the noise. Rhiannon Lambert is a registered nutritionist, bestselling author, founder of Rhitrition, she’s spent years translating nutritional science into practical advice people can actually use.

Jo Malone CBE has long been high up on my dream guests list for this podcast. Not only because she's built two incredible global brands but she's also faced more than your average person's challenges along the way (to say the least). From losing her sense of smell after battling aggressive breast cancer, to the continuing complexity of separating herself from the brand that still carries her name, Jo is so candid in this episode.

If you've got a dream of building anything, or you just want a pod that puts a kind of fire in your belly, this is episode is for you.

This episode is everything you need for when a man tries to tell you that sexism no longer exists. We really into the reality modern misogyny, including the rise of incel culture, the influence of algorithms, and the stats you need to have on hand. 

Laura Bates is a writer, activist, and the founder of the Everyday Sexism Project, a platform that started as a simple space to collect people’s experiences of sexism and exploded into a global movement with hundreds of thousands of stories. If you've ever felt like you're "overreacting" to something sexist, Laura's work is the reason so many people now realise, they're not alone, and they’re not imagining it.

So I feel like we all know that feeling when you watch someone launch a business, or start posting vlogs, or announce their new side hustle, and whilst most of you is like WELL DONE a small part of you is like: “Oof… that’s brave.” It’s that feeling that I want to get into today. 

That tiny little cringe feeling we get, is basically our own fear of being seen trying. And today, I want to have a chat about why that fear is not only unnecessary, it’s also can really hold us back.

THIS EPISODE

Starting out as a self-taught makeup artist sharing his looks from his bedroom in Manchester, Mitchell Halliday has grown into one of the most exciting names in beauty today, all before the age of 25.

Not only has he built a global following of millions, but he’s also achieved something so difficult, creating a brand that’s a true cult favourite. His products sell out in minutes, and he was the first person to make $1 million in one day on TikTok shop.

We’re obviously going to get right into the strategy that’s got him here, and ask all the nosy makeup questions I want to ask, but we also really get into how to be unafraid to be truly & authentically yourself, and why being told you’re ‘too much’, can actually be your superpower.

Just before I left LA, I managed to have a chat with George Heaton, the founder of Represent & 247. We spoke 4 years ago now when the podcast was just starting out, and when Represent was really beginning to take off. Now it's a 9 figure business. George is one of the most disciplined people I know, so this episode is a real boost of motivation & hard work.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve sat down to record this podcast and been told to “do less better”, that focusing on one thing is the only route to success in a career, whilst knowing that it’s no secret that I love pursuing new things.

And for months I’ve been thinking about an episode on exactly that.

So when I had the chance to have half an hour with Richard in the Virgin offices, I thought who better to really get into this subject with. I feel like lots of people, like me, don’t want to do less better, and that being told that over and over when it’s not quite your setting isn’t ideal.

So I really wanted to understand Richard’s motivations for continuing to start more, and do more, even when he’s already grown so many businesses in his now over 60 year career, and see how that might be able to apply to all of us who don’t think so traditionally about one thing at a time.

I really hope you love this slightly different bonus episode! And would love to hear your thoughts on this topic.

TODAY'S EPISODE

Today’s guest is someone whose voice has accompanied so many of us through the highs and lows of life, through our teens, and now our careers. I’m speaking to broadcaster, author, and Happy Place founder, Fearne Cotton.

From landing her first presenting job at 15 to blowing up and being on every TV screen, Fearne’s career has been defined by energy, openness, and a constant willingness to evolve and take on the next project. But despite her huge success, she’s been on her own journey with identity, burnout, and figuring out who she is when the job title fades away, figuring out what success actually means to her.

As you know this podcast is about having conversations in a frank, open, way, that we don’t actually see that often, and this episode was exactly that. This episode is for anyone who feels like their self worth is tied to their career. Fearne speaks so openly about how she unhooked her self-worth from her work, why setting boundaries has been one of her biggest lessons, and what she’s learned about letting go of expectations.

Today’s guest is someone you may remember from one of our most listened-to episodes of last year—Sarah Ashcroft. Sarah is one of the original fashion creators in the UK, and in our last episode, she took us through her  journey turning her online presence into the fashion powerhouse that was SLA The Label.

But since then, a lot has changed.

In Feburary this year, Sarah announced that SLA was closing. This episode is the first time she’s speaking on a podcast about that situation—what led to it, how it felt to walk away from something she built from the ground up, and what she’s learned in the months since.

This is a conversation about identity, pressure, clarity, and the harsh reality of running a business in public. It’s raw, it’s reflective, and it’s going to resonate with anyone who's ever had to make a difficult decision or gone through a huge life change.I’m so grateful to Sarah for trusting us with this conversation.

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