I genuinely think 18 year old me would be in complete disbelief that this episode exists.So for some context for anyone who hasn't been here for 10 years, Kayla Itsines is the reason I started this Instagram account at all, I literally had “Kayla” in my username because my page was dedicated to doing her guide. In a weird way, everything that came after that was a complete snowball effect into what I do now, and what my life looks like, so getting to sit down with her felt very, very full circle.I really wanted this conversation to go deeper than just the "Bikini Body Guide" era and how quickly it grew. We get into success, what it means to be thrust into it so young, what it does to the people around you, and how you navigate big life moments in the public eye. We also speak about pregnancy loss and pregnancy after loss in a way neither of us have really shared online before, as well as her decision to fully reacquire Sweat after selling it for $400 million in 2021. This is honestly one of my favourite episodes we’ve ever recorded and I feel so grateful to Kayla for not only rearranging a flight to make it happen, but also being so open and honest with me. What a woman. +KAYLA ITSINES Website: https://www.kaylaitsines.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kayla_itsines/?hl=en-gb Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/kaylaitsines Sweat App: https://sweat.com/ +SIGN UP TO THE WORKING HARD NEWSLETTER: https://graceb.myflodesk.com/k0sfhlac34+FOLLOW THE PODCASTInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/workinghard...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@workinghardpo...+DILEMMA SUBMISSIONIf you'd like to submit any dilemmas to the podcast to be answered in the bonus episodes, please send them to [email protected] with the subject beginning DILEMMAS or DM us @workinghardpod on instagram!+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.

Today’s episode is about reinvention, confidence, and creating a comeback, not the kind that looks good on the outside, but the kind that actually changes how you see yourself.I’m joined by Chris Appleton, celebrity hairstylist. He’s worked with some of the most famous and successful women in the world, like Kim Kardashian, JLo and Ariana Grande but behind all the glamour, he’s been on a much bigger journey of reinvention and self discovery. In this conversation, we talk about insecurity, self doubt, identity, and how to stop letting your past, your background, or your inner critic dictate your future. I hope you love it.

This is an episode I've been thinking about for a while! I've been asking: how do we stay informed about the world without feeling constantly overwhelmed, anxious, or like everything is about to fall apart?So this is an episode all about learning how to structure an information diet that actually leaves you informed and capable of action, rather than frozen by overwhelm. +SIGN UP TO THE WORKING HARD NEWSLETTER: https://graceb.myflodesk.com/k0sfhlac34+SHAE OMONIJOIG: https://www.instagram.com/iamshaeo/?hl=enTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@iamshaeoSubstack: https://shaeomonijo.substack.com/Reading list: https://shaeomonijo.substack.com/p/reading-lists +FOLLOW THE PODCASTInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/workinghard...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@workinghardpo...+DILEMMA SUBMISSIONIf you'd like to submit any dilemmas to the podcast to be answered in the bonus episodes, please send them to [email protected] with the subject beginning DILEMMAS or DM us @workinghardpod on instagram!+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.

I’m really glad you’re here for this episode, because it’s a topic I’ve been wanting to unpack for a long time, not from a place of blame, but from a place of realism and agency.

We can’t avoid the AI conversation, and honestly, pretending it’s not happening is the worst possible strategy. So instead of speculating or panicking, I want to have a really open, frank chat about what it’s doing to our brains, and how we can control it.So I started looking for an expert who was actually thinking seriously about this space, not in a hypey way or a doom way, but in a thoughtful, academic way. Then I came across one of Shae O Omonijo's videos, and immediately knew she was exactly the person to have this conversation with.If you want to actually learn about AI without fear mongering, how it’s fuelling anti intellectualism, and what we can all individually do about it to use it in a more thoughtful way, stick with me, because Shae is doing a Harvard PHD on exactly that! I hope you love this conversation as much as I did.+SHAE OMONIJOIG: https://www.instagram.com/iamshaeo/?hl=enTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@iamshaeoSubstack: https://shaeomonijo.substack.com/+SIGN UP TO THE WORKING HARD NEWSLETTER: https://graceb.myflodesk.com/k0sfhlac34+FOLLOW THE PODCASTInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/workinghard...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@workinghardpo...+DILEMMA SUBMISSIONIf you'd like to submit any dilemmas to the podcast to be answered in the bonus episodes, please send them to [email protected] with the subject beginning DILEMMAS or DM us @workinghardpod on instagram!+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.
