    Ep. 115 Louise Pentland: How To Find Your Version Of Success & Craft A Life That Truly Serves You

    Trigger warning: this episode contains discussions of childhood abuse With a combined following of over 9 million, Louise Pentland really is one of the OG content creators. Originally growing through her blog titled Sprinkle of Glitter, and youtube channel of the same name that followed, she was part of the original ‘brit crew’ of youtubers that took the UK scene by storm in the 2010s. She met the Pope, Kim Kardashian and has 4 sunday times bestelling books.But behind the glamour and newfound fame, she was dealing with a divorce and parenting a young child. Louise was so open in this episode, we really covered 1000 topics. She was frank and honest about her career, her relationships, the minefield of parenting online, managing her finances, finding new opportunities and her approach to content. + LOUISE: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/louisepentland/?hl=en TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@louisepentland?lang=en YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Louisepentland + MY LINKS: https://gracebeverley.komi.io/ + RETROGRADE, SHREDDY, TALA and THE PRODUCTIVITY METHOD are my own businesses, therefore any mention of them - whilst not being a sponsorship - is monetarily endorsed.

    Ep. 114 Stop Trying To Rush Your Life: Why It’s Not Better To Achieve Everything Younger With Saie Founder Laney Crowell

    Laney Crowell is a founder I’ve wanted to speak to for such a long time, so I knew I had to pin her down on my trip to New York.  She founded beauty brand Saie in 2019 after a five year stint at Estee Lauder that made her want to disrupt the industry, and to Saie (pardon the pun)  it’s gone from strength to strength is an understatement. Laney’s career though was not an obvious entrepreneurial path - she started out on film sets, entered into the world of new york magazines, and even interviewed to be Anna Wintour’s assistant 7 times before landing what her dream role, leading social & eventually global communications for Estee Lauder. It was a big job, but she wanted even bigger, more disruptive things, which ultimately led her to Saie.  + LANEY: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/laney/?hl=en SAIE: https://saiehello.com/ + MY LINKS: https://gracebeverley.komi.io/ + RETROGRADE, SHREDDY, TALA and THE PRODUCTIVITY METHOD are my own businesses, therefore any mention of them - whilst not being a sponsorship - is monetarily endorsed.

    Ep. 113 How To Be Confident In 20 Minutes: A No BS Guide

    Today we’re talking about how to become more confident. I really believe that confidence might just be the key to happiness, whether it’s in your career, your personal relationships, or even just how you talk to yourself. And understanding the root cause has shown me that confidence is something you can learn, it’s like any skill. And if there’s one thing I love - it’s learning skills. So i’m excited to break it down. + READING LIST I owe a huge amount to the writers & podcasters below whose work I researched for this episode!

    Ep. 111 How To Stop Seeing Achievement As Validation With Equinox’s Lavinia Errico

    Lavinia Errico is the original queen of wellness. Back in the 90s, she set up Equinox alongside her brothers. They were the pioneers of gyms that were built for young city-dwellers. Their business was at the heart of the rise of the wellness boom and Lavinia’s story is incredible. But what I really didn’t expect is how incredible her thoughts were on the importance of reinvention and transformation after something like Equinox. + LAVINIA: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/laviniajoy/ Lavinia's Community Movejoy: https://movejoy.life/ + MY LINKS: https://gracebeverley.komi.io/ + RETROGRADE, SHREDDY, TALA and THE PRODUCTIVITY METHOD are my own businesses, therefore any mention of them - whilst not being a sponsorship - is monetarily endorsed.

    Ep. 109 How I Stopped Overthinking: The Theory That Changed My Life

    I’ve given myself an excuse to spend hours researching the topics I wish I knew more about so you don’t need to read a whole book to understand something important. So I've started with one of the most important things I've researched over the last few years: how to channel your overthinking and make it your superpower. The episode is only 35 minutes long, so perfect for your morning hot girl walk! Let me know what you think! + A huge thank you to Jemma Sbeg for sharing her wisdom with us for this episode.

    Ep.108 The Biohacking Expert: "This is The Secret To A Long & Healthy Life"

    I couldn’t come to LA and not do an episode with a biohacker. Kayla Barnes Lentz is on a mission to live for as long as she can. She’s dedicated her life to optimising her brain health, and works to a very specific schedule to do so. She even owns her own clinic that specialises in ‘longevity medicine’. I’m so fascinated by people like Kayla, and to be totally honest, a little sceptical. But her advice on what we can take into our lives was really simple & accessible. Ever since I started this podcast I wanted to gain new perspectives on what success looks like to a vast array of experts, and biohacking is an extremely male-dominated space, so it was be fascinating to hear Kayla’s perspective.
