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.+MY LINKS: https://gracebeverley.komi.io/+RHIANNON LAMBERTRhitrition: https://www.rhitrition.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rhitrition/?hl=enHer new book, The Unprocessed Plate: https://www.dk.com/uk/book/9780241752654-the-unprocessed-plate/+RETROGRADE, SHREDDY, TALA and THE PRODUCTIVITY METHOD are my own businesses, therefore any mention of them - whilst not being a sponsorship - is monetarily endorsed.

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.

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.+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!+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.

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. +GEORGE HEATONRepresent: https://uk.representclo.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/georgeheaton/?hl=en +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 obviously monetarily endorsed.
