What is up? I'm Grace Beverly and welcome back to Working Hard, the podcast

shape guide book on how to improve your own life and achieve what you actually dreamed of doing,

because life's too short for boring podcasts and bad advice.

What is up and welcome back to Working Hard. I am so excited to get into this episode. I promised a

good line up for January and we are kicking off with probably one of my favorite episodes we've

ever done and I know that's a big claim,

but I do think this episode lives up to the hype. Today's guest is someone that I have been so

excited to have on, because if there is ever a time where we need to stop getting in our own way

and start trusting ourselves again, it's just as we approach the start of the new year.

Dr. Sharday-Zarai is a behavioral researcher and a leadership and confidence coach. She's advised the new year. Dr. Shadez Arai is a behavioural researcher and a leadership and

confidence coach. She's advised the world's biggest companies and her work has had over 300 million

views. I knew I wanted to get Shade on for so long and there was only one day she was in the UK

this year and we've managed to make it happen. So if you're heading into the new year feeling

stuck or second

guessing yourself or craving like a mindset reset that actually lasts, this episode has been designed for you.

And before we get into my chat with Charday, it would be such a big help if you would go and

follow the podcast on whatever platform you're listening to it on because each Monday and January,

we have got an episode designed to make

2026, your best year yet, your most intentional year yet, and the year you actually hit those goals

that you set at the beginning of the year. And if you hit follow, you will get every episode

exactly where you want it every single Monday morning. Dr. Charday-Zaray, are you currently more working hard or hardly working?

I would say I'm working hard, but I feel like I'm hardly working because I absolutely love what I do.
