How to Ask for What You Want (and Actually Get It) Without Feeling Like A Bitch

How to Ask for What You Want (and Actually Get It) Without Feeling Like A Bitch

Author: Grace Beverley October 27, 2025 Duration: 16:17

This week’s episode is for anyone who struggles to speak up the people who overthink every ask, soften every sentence, or apologise before they’ve even said anything.


It unpacks why asking for what you want feels so uncomfortable (especially for women), the psychology behind it, and how to start doing it without guilt.

Grace Beverley hosts the Working Hard with Grace Beverley podcast, a series that moves far beyond standard productivity tips or generic business advice. Here, conversations explore the nuanced and often unconventional paths to achievement across a wide spectrum of life. You’ll hear from a diverse array of guests, including housing campaigners, seasoned investors, and sex experts, each sharing the specific challenges and insights from their unique fields. These discussions naturally avoid easy answers, instead delving into the real work, the personal philosophies, and the redefined metrics of success that drive these individuals. The podcast sits at an interesting crossroads of business, health, fitness, and self-improvement, reflecting Grace’s own multifaceted approach to work and life. Listening feels like gaining access to a series of candid, private mentorships, where the lessons learned are as much about personal resilience and perspective as they are about professional strategy. It’s a space for anyone curious about the many forms that hard work and fulfillment can take, offering stories that challenge the typical rhetoric and inspire a broader, more personal definition of what it means to truly succeed.
