I speak about my attitude to dating so much with my friends, but I never really speak about it on here, so i thought we could get into that today because as i’m getting closer to my actual wedding (wtf) i feel like i’ve been thinking a lot about what I’ve learnt about dating and to be quite frank, I’ve seen some terrifying takes online recently and I’m just not here for that!!

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.
