Having an alter ego is the key to confidence, here's how to create yours in 3 steps (the science)

Your 3 step guide to stopping fear from holding you back in life

This week, we are talking about something that I genuinely think is shaping our careers, our creativity, our relationships, and our confidence more than we realise, which is the fear of being cringe. I did a bonus episode on this over a year ago now and it got such a huge response, and since then I’ve come to genuinely think the main thing that holds most people back is not lack of talent, not lack of ideas, not even lack of discipline. It’s fear of what other people think. So this episode is basically me unpacking all of that, the psychology behind why we care so much about what people think, why we massively overestimate how much people are paying attention to us, and the practical things that have genuinely helped me stop letting fear of perception make my decisions for me. + CHAPTERS 0:00: Intro 1:34: The Context 7:29: Step One: Shrinking the audience 14:38: Step Two: Redefining the evidence 17:01: Step Three: Putting it into practice 19:12: Looking back + SIGN UP TO THE WORKING HARD NEWSLETTER: https://graceb.myflodesk.com/k0sfhlac34 + SOPHIE TEA'S EPISODE: https://youtu.be/o-G4jPyLNWA?si=E_X7Dq-I18o4Zx2j EMMA'S EPISODE: https://youtu.be/mPn1JFfwfSE?si=5ZTOxFZM5LIFfmKK + FOLLOW THE PODCAST Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/workinghardpod/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@workinghardpodcast + DILEMMA SUBMISSION If you'd like to submit any dilemmas to the podcast to be answered in the bonus episodes, please send them to podcast@grace-beverley.com 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.

A guide to surviving your 20s and thriving in your 30s with Ashley James

I was so excited to record with Ashley James, I've loved her videos for ages, and I knew we'd get on like a house on fire. We talk about shame, body image, speaking up, and how your relationship with yourself evolves over time. And I think if you’re in a phase where you’re questioning things a bit, you’re going through a big life change like me, or you’re trying to feel more confident, or just trying to understand yourself a bit better, there will be something in this episode for you. So think of it as a bit of a guide to surviving your 20s, thriving in your 30s, and just generally learning how to live a bit more on your own terms.

So when I knew I was coming back to Australia, I knew we needed a proper catch up. And once again, it’s a big chat, with a lot covered!
