The Lorraine Murphy Show: Recent Episodes

Lorraine Murphy

With a mix of straight-talking advice, interviews with thought-leaders and Lorraine's personal stories and tips, this podcast aims to entertain, expand your thinking and give you a (gentle) kick up the ass - all to help you rise even higher in your life. Season 1 is The Expert Season - featuring Lorraine's own go-to experts on everything from entrepreneurship to soul alignment, from digital wellbeing to turbocharging your business revenue.

My word for this year is “peak health”.

Not just physically, but across my business, finances, relationships and life.

And the more I pursue it this year, the more I realise something important: peak health isn’t created through big dramatic changes or heroic bursts of motivation.

It’s built through small, consistent habits layered day after day.

In this episode, I’m sharing seven of the micro habits that support my energy, mindset, and resilience… from the ones I’ve practised for over 15 years to a few I’ve added more recently.

These aren’t performative or overly laborious wellness routines. They’re the small things I do consistently behind the scenes that help me feel clearer, stronger and more grounded as I build my business and life.

I cover:

Why micro habits are so powerful for nervous system regulation
How tiny daily practices compound into massive long-term wellbeing
The connection between identity and daily habits
Why trying to change too much at once usually backfires

This episode is NOT about perfection or adding ten new habits overnight! It’s about choosing one small shift that supports the life and business you’re building.

The podcast is going on a break for April - I’ll be back in May with a batch of fresh conversations to share with you.

This episode is a little different.

As we move into the final days before Bold Darling doors close (on 26th March), I wanted to sit down and answer some of the questions that have been coming through in my DMs and conversations lately.

The questions you ask are never random. They reveal where you are in your business, what you’re navigating behind the scenes, and how ready you are for your next level.

In this direct (but loving!) episode, I answer:

“How do I balance being in my masculine in business and then switching into my feminine at home? I feel like I’m in CEO mode all the time!”
“I want to grow and make more money, but I’m already stressed. What do I do when scaling feels overwhelming?”
“What financial support do I need to put in place as I scale? How involved should I be as the business owner?”
“I’ve made a lot of mistakes building my team - how do I actually do it well?”
“Please share all and any efficiency tips”

Underneath all of this, we’re REALLY talking about identity, energy, structure, and leadership, because you scale by becoming the woman who leads differently, builds a business that supports her, and surrounds herself with the right level of conversation and support.

If you’ve been listening and finding yourself thinking, “This is the level I want to operate at”...

Doors to my Bold Darling Mastermind are closing on Thursday 26th February. I would love to welcome you inside.

Why do the same challenges keep appearing for women building businesses… no matter the industry, stage or personality?

After eight years mentoring female founders, and working with thousands of women through retreats, programs and private mentoring, I’ve started to notice something pretty striking.

The businesses may be very different. The women themselves certainly are. Yet the same patterns tend to surface again and again.

Certain conversations repeat and certain reminders land at exactly the moment a founder needs to hear them. They are often deceptively simple ideas, but they have a way of shifting how a woman leads her business almost immediately.

In this bonus episode, I’m sharing a handful of the advice I share most often with my mentees.

These are nuggets drawn directly from years of mentoring women as they navigate the realities of building and scaling their companies. They span leadership, personal standards, and the often overlooked role that energy, capacity and self-leadership play in sustainable growth.

Because while strategy matters, the way a woman leads herself is what really shapes the trajectory of her business.

If this conversation resonates with you, it will also give you a sense of the philosophy behind my Bold Darling Mastermind.

Inside Bold Darling, we go much deeper into this work, supporting women to implement these principles within their businesses in a way that is strategic, sustainable and expansive.

Doors are open until midnight Thursday 26th March. Visit bolddarling.com to explore.

Burnout has become strangely normal in the entrepreneurial world, particularly for women.

Late nights. Weekend work. Saying no to life so the business can keep growing.

Many founders truly believe that success requires sacrifice.

In this episode, I challenge that belief head-on.

I share why burnout isn’t a strategy problem, it’s a design problem, and why so many businesses are structured in ways that drain the very women building them.

I also pull back the curtain on how I intentionally designed my own business and life since my burnout-adjacent experience in 2019, including working three and a half days a week while continuing to grow a thriving business.

You’ll hear real examples from Bold Darling members who have redesigned their businesses to create more space, more calm, and more sustainable success.

Have you found yourself saying these phrases a lot?!

“It’ll calm down soon.”
“I just need to push through this season.”
“I want to scale, but I’m already maxed out.”

If so, this episode will challenge you to rethink what success actually requires, and what might be possible when you design your business differently.

This conversation feels deeply special.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Olivia Green, Founder of North Side Speech Pathology, co-founder of Minds in Bloom AND member of my Bold Darling Mastermind.

Six years ago, Olivia was driving between clients with everything in her car, sometimes breastfeeding her four-month-old between sessions.

Today? She leads a team of 12 clinicians, runs a thriving clinic space, and has expanded into a second venture supporting neurodivergent students in schools. Oh and she’s had another child.

But what I love most about Olivia isn’t the growth.

It’s how she’s grown.

She’s steady, grounded, strategic and consistent.

In this episode, Olivia and I cover:

The key decisions that moved her from solo operator to founder
The internal shifts that had to happen before her external expansion
Why she rejects flashy growth models
How she blends motherhood, marriage, fitness, and leadership
The boundaries that protect her energy
The role accountability has played in her execution
What changed when she stepped into Bold Darling

If you’re building something meaningful and want success that doesn’t cost you your life, this conversation will land deeply.

This episode brings my four-part series on the essential pillars of sustainable success to a close. We’re finishing with the most underestimated pillar of all… identity.

You can have the energy, the strategy, and the mindset… but if your identity hasn’t caught up to the life or business you’re trying to build, you’ll keep hitting invisible ceilings.

In this episode, I unpack why identity is the lens through which every business decision is made, from pricing and leadership to visibility, risk, and growth.

I dive into the origin of how we unconsciously play small and why so many founders stumble as they scale. I also share the identity shifts that have made the biggest difference in my own journey.

This is a conversation about shedding old stories, building a bigger internal container, and stepping into the version of you who can actually hold the success you’re working towards.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the right things but still can’t quite break through to the next level, this episode is for you.

In this week’s episode, I continue my four-part series on the core pillars of success for women in business. This week I’m focusing on mindset.

Mindset isn’t about fixing yourself or forcing positivity. It’s about how you navigate your inner world when things wobble…. because they will! Especially when you’re holding a lot.

I explore why mindset work is particularly critical for women, the subtle ways self-doubt shows up at leadership level, and how seemingly harmless thoughts can quietly stall momentum if left unchecked.

We talk about the difference between a normal mindset dip and a full-blown spiral, why resistance often appears right before growth, and how resilience is the real skillset founders need to cultivate.

I also share practical reflections on rest, boundaries, self-coaching, and why fun and pleasure are often the missing strategic levers in high-performing women’s lives.

Strategy doesn’t have to feel heavy, complicated or overwhelming, I promise!

In this episode, my mission is to soften it for you.

As part two of my four-part series on the pillars, this week, I’m zooming in on smart strategy, and reimagining what strategy can look like when it’s designed to support you first.

In this conversation, I simplify strategy right down to its essence and explore why traditional, overly masculine approaches often leave women feeling stuck, scattered or burnt out, despite working incredibly hard.

I also share how strategy can become a sacred, supportive structure rather than a pressure-filled to-do list, and why clarity, not complexity, is what actually creates momentum.

If you’ve ever felt busy but not really moving forward, overwhelmed by planning, or unsure what to focus on next, this episode will help you reframe strategy as the bridge between where you are now and the life and business you actually want.

What if the success of your business wasn’t coming down to better planning or bigger ideas… but better energy?

This episode kicks off a brand new four-part series on the pillars I believe underpin sustainable success in business: Energy, Strategy, Mindset and Identity.

I’m starting with the one that underpins everything else: Energy.

In this conversation, I explore why energy isn’t a “nice to have” or a self-care add-on, it’s the electricity your business actually runs on.

From decision-making and visibility, to leadership, money and pricing, the way you show up energetically shapes far more than most women realise.

I also share why treating rest as a reward is one of the fastest paths to burnout, how low energy keeps you stuck in survival mode, and why protecting your energy is a strategic responsibility, not a luxury.

This episode is an invitation to reframe how you think about success in 2026… and to ask a different question entirely: what if your energy became your most important KPI?

Staying excited about your goals is easy in January…

But staying aligned, energised, and consistent as the year unfolds? That’s where most people slip.

In this episode, I’m shifting the conversation from setting goals to what actually matters: how to stay on track with them in 2026. And to do that without burning out, overwhelming yourself, or losing momentum halfway through the year.

I explore:

Why energy management isn’t a luxury
The real reason annual plans often fail high-performing women
What it really takes to create sustainable progress that compounds over time
The nitty-gritty deets on how I structure my year to hold growth without collapse

I also share a special listener-only discount inside the episode for my Elevated Strategy Method, my new program that will help you set goals, but keep them track.

If 2026 matters to you and you want your goals to last beyond the first quarter, this episode is for you.

What happens when the woman who “had it all” - the multi-million-dollar business, awards, and all the gold stars - suddenly finds herself lonely with a baby in the rainforest, wondering where she went?

In this episode, I sit with Kady O’Connell on her podcast, SEEN, to talk about the identity shifts behind success, motherhood, and building a business that doesn’t cost your marriage, health, or sanity.

We go deep on:

The reality behind the “tree change” dream and why it almost broke me
Learning to receive - in business, in marriage, and in bed
How intimacy and energy shape your magnetism as a woman in business
Why slowing down (and yes, having more sex) might be the secret to growth
The new definition of success: rich, regulated, and deeply connected

This one’s equal parts relationship therapy, visibility coaching, and feminine power activation - a must-listen for women craving whole-life success.

In this week’s episode of The Lorraine Murphy Show, I sit down with one of my favourite humans to learn from, the brilliant Tim Duggan.

Since our last conversation, Tim has been through a huge personal and professional evolution: establishing his post-exit life, redefining his identity, writing multiple books, and travelling the country in a camper van.

This chat is expansive, raw, and full of practical wisdom for anyone navigating big transitions, stepping out of old versions of themselves, or wondering what comes after achieving the goal you once dreamed of.

Here’s what we dive into:

What it really feels like to step away from a business you built (including the emotional and identity unravelling)
How Tim reimagined his life and work after leaving Junkee - and the surprising clarity found on a six-month camper van trip
The creative process behind his books, his writing practice, and what’s currently inspiring his next chapter

We also explore the difference between founder life and corporate life, why Tim refuses to be boxed in, the power of becoming a translator of your industry, and his beautifully refreshing take on sustainable content creation (hello, MVP).

It’s a conversation that will meet you exactly where you’re at, whether you're craving reinvention, more spaciousness, or permission to build your life backwards from what matters most.

This week on the show, I’m sharing one of my favourite episodes of the entire year: my personal highs & lows.

Every December, I carve out time to look back on the year that was - the lessons, the wins, the challenges, the magic, and the messy bits - and it’s one of the most grounding practices I do.

I always say that reflection is how we create closure on a year, but also clarity for the one ahead. I hope this episode encourages you to take a moment for your own reflection ritual as you bid farewell to the year that was 2025.

Inside the episode, I take you through the personal highs that shaped me this year. And, of course, I get real about the lows. These end of year episodes are always a reminder that even in the most beautiful seasons, life is always offering us contrast.

This week on The Lorraine Murphy Show, I’m joined by someone who has been woven through my life and career for over 16 years - the magical and deeply grounded Claire Obeid.

Our paths first crossed in our beauty PR days, then rejoined years later as we each moved into our own worlds of business, motherhood, and personal evolution.

Claire has supported me through huge chapters, co-hosted retreats with me, and been one of the most extraordinary teachers in my life.

In this conversation, we explore our shared history, how Claire’s work has evolved, and the deep potency behind what she does today.

We talk about authenticity, alignment, perfection vs. wholeness, and the liberation that comes from embracing the parts of ourselves we once saw as “not enough.”

If you’re craving a new tool, spiritual connection and a reminder of your own magic, this episode will land beautifully for you.

What if money in your business made you feel calm, grounded, and safe - instead of anxious, pressured, or exhausted?

In this episode, I’m diving deep into one of the biggest transformations I’ve made in my business: creating Peaceful Revenue.

My early business experiences: from multimillion-dollar highs to sleepless nights over unpredictable cash flow
The ATO curveball that forced me to rebuild my money story from scratch

In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of a week that completely recharged my mind, body, and spirit on my solo retreat in Bali.

I recorded this episode sitting on my villa veranda, overlooking the river, feeling deeply relaxed and reconnected after six nourishing days away. I share why I booked this retreat, the signs I was running on empty, and what a true energetic reset looks like when life, business, and motherhood are full.

You’ll hear the daily rhythm of my time away, the unexpected insights that surfaced through stillness, and the profound healing experiences (including water therapy, massage, and journaling) that helped me return to myself.

I also explore why deep rest isn’t a luxury - it’s a leadership strategy - and how spaciousness, silence, and soul time unlock our feminine energy and creativity.

If you’ve been craving a break or wondering what’s possible when you truly pause, this episode will remind you that your next level of clarity often arrives in stillness.

Key takeaways:

The importance of creating true rest in a fast-moving life
How retreats can reconnect you to your intuition and feminine energy
Why “everything feels on track” is the most peaceful success metric
A glimpse inside my upcoming 2026 Bali Retreat

If your soul is calling you towards a recharge like I just had, I have good news! There are still some spots remaining for my Bali June 2026 Retreat here.

I’ve followed intimacy coach Eleanor Hadley for years now, and one of my 2025 goals was to work with her one-on-one.

Fresh from our coaching time together, I invited her to come on the show to pass on some of the biggest aha moments I had with her… and also to answer your burning questions on all things pleasure, intimacy and sex.

Eleanor is an award-winning certified sex educator, speaker and writer. She offers 1:1 sexuality and embodiment coaching and practical sex education courses.

She has also just released a new online program called Lust & Libido, which she is very generously offering my listeners a 20% discount for. Go to eleanorhadley.com/libido and use code LORRAINE!

In our conversation, Eleanor and I cover:

Her background and how she came to do the work she does
What exactly an intimacy coach does!
The most common blocks she sees women having when it comes to intimacy
Her clever metaphor for how our beliefs around sex are formed
The “Madonna Whore Dichotomy” and how it relates to mothers
If it’s possible to regain the spark if it's gone from a relationship
The importance of setting the right context for sex, and what the "checklist" is for that
The concept of brakes and accelerators when it comes to desire
Sex post baby - “how to give a fck about giving a fck” (exact words from a listener Q )
The top toys she recommends

A book Eleanor highly recommends is Come As You Are, by Emily Nagowski.

This week we celebrated an exciting milestone in my business - my Bold Darling Mastermind turned 3!

I conceived the idea for it in a Bali cafe in September 2019… however I didn’t bring it to the world until April 2022.

It has been wildly successful as an addition to my business.

It enables me to help more women than I could ever have doing solely one-on-one mentoring, member retention is sky high, and it has created predictable - and epic - revenue in my business ($600k!!).

In this week’s episode, I share the ten biggest lessons I’ve had in running a successful mastermind: from member experience and pricing, to inclusions and mindset.

Biggest love and thanks to all our incredible Bold Darling members, the stellar experts who join us every single month, and to my team for loving on our members and helping them feel seen and cared for.

Doors to Bold Darling will be opening again in August - to get on the waitlist, go to: bolddarling.com.

Meet publishing supremo Fiona Hazard. Fiona has been in the book publishing business for over 25 years, both in Australia and in the UK, and has worked with a diverse range of authors and illustrators to help them share their stories with readers around the world.

Previously Group Publishing Director for Hachette Australia & New Zealand, she is now Head of Strategy & Development for independent publisher Keeperton and a board member for Writing NSW.

Fiona led the publication of my four books in her role at Hachette Australia, and I’ve been fascinated speaking to her about how quickly the publishing industry is developing, and how more accessible than ever it is to get your work published as a result. It’s an exciting time to be an author!

In myself and Fiona’s chat, we cover:

The biggest block she sees people having writing - and publishing - a book
Whether you should just go ahead and write or decide on how to publish it first
The different publishing options - self-publish vs go with a publisher (and other options in between!)
What you need to get a book deal with a publisher
What KDP is and how it’s revolutionising the publishing industry
What kind of authors tend to do well with self publishing
If it's possible to actually make money from books nowadays
Which route she would choose if she was a first-time author now
The resources she recommends to authors researching their publishing options
The hot genres to watch in publishing

How well a “shoulder tap strategy” works in my business

How my Operations Manager nailed testimonials
The results we got
What we’ll do differently next time

Burnout is something I think most women in my world have experienced at some point - which is NOT a good thing.

Today on the show I’m starting a conversation about burnout - as based on the response to my recent Insta shout-out, this is an area we need to focus more on.

I cover:

The specific type of burnout I see most often
My own experience of burnout 5 years ago
The 4 most common causes of burnout that I see with women in my community
What NOT to do in your business if you want to avoid burnout (and I assume you do!)
What to do if you’re already in burnout but work is super busy
How to spot the early signs of burnout
The immediate steps to get well if you’re in burnout

This is a theme I’ll be exploring more in coming months - please DM me at @lorrainemurphymentor if you’ve got specific Qs you’d like me to address.

The podcast episode I referenced is #174: How Not To Burn Out feat. Fillippa Belette.

It’s a vulnerable episode for you this week!

I’m in a very, very happy place at the moment and I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting on the steps, decisions and false starts that have landed me in this place.

Yes there has been mucho mindset work, discovering my own spirituality, buckets of life experience (read: tough times) and more…

However I realised just this week that there’s one element that has set me up to be in the place I’m in right now.

In this episode, I share that element - and how you can tap more of it in your own life.

This was a different episode for me, so please let me know if you’d like more like this one!

You’ve probably guessed by now that I’m a big fan of goal setting! Each year, I share my annual goals for three reasons:

To give you an idea of what a set of goals can look like
For epic public accountability for me!
I’m nosey and guessing you might be too ;-)

In this episode, I share my goals across family, home, romance, business and other categories. I hope you find them helpful as you set your own goals for 2025.

We’re heading into my version of Christmas… aka Goalsetting Season!!

A question I get a LOT is how I do my annual goalsetting, so in this week’s episode I step you through it.

Goalsetting is SO MUCH MORE than rattling off a few achievements you want to make happen. To really get the most out of it, it should be a structured process that includes reflection, holistic thinking, and specific actions that will get you that critical momentum.

I’ve refined this process over the last decade, and I’m pretty bloody proud of it by now. I’m fresh from my own 2025 goalsetting, so I hope what I share in this week’s episode helps you with your own goals for next year.

In it, I share:

The embarrassing story of how I discovered goalsetting
The specific step-by-step process I follow when setting my goals
How I take stock at the end of each year
The hack for helping visioning flow for my mentees (especially for those who struggle to “see” the future)
Why you must understand the concept of “be/do/have” in order to actualise your goals

Plus!

Exciting news!! Today also marks the launch of my annual goalsetting offer… and this year it’s the biggest bundle ever.

It includes:

My Goal Setting Playbook - with extra worksheets added since last year
5 year vision guided visualisation
1 year vision guided visualisation
Inspiring goalsetting Spotify playlist
Weekly Plan Success toolkit
Affirmations toolkit
A “clear your blocks” hypnosis with Rachel Crethar
How to create your vision board tutorial
Canva templates to make your goals pretty - and front of mind!

Navigating overwhelm with kiddie playdates and activities

NB: I dive deeper into Mum Guilt in episode 228.

I so hope you enjoy this new format, and thank you so much Bec, Sarah, Karene and Jess for your brilliant questions!

The show is baaack!! After an extended break, the show is back with a zhoosh and a raft of new episodes coming your way.

In this episode, I catch you up with what I’ve been up to, new plans for the podcast, some exciting new developments for my business… and I take you behind the scenes of my recent Bali retreat.

I want to share this with you to hopefully inspire you to plan a retreat of your own (and maybe even with me!), and also to answer any questions if you’ve wondered what ACTUALLY happens on retreat.

I share:

The flow of the six days
The team that helps me
The tricky creative challenge I had with this particular one
The powerful - and super fun - healing I invented for the group
The most common themes and challenges this group had
The biggest change I’m making for my retreats next year

Your next chance to join me on retreat in Bali is next year, from 26th-31st May.

It’s approaching half full already (!), so if this experience is calling you I suggest you book soon. There are both private and twin rooms available, and you can pay upfront or via a monthly payment plan. All the details are here: lorrainemurphy.com.au/bali-retreat-may-2025

The oracle cards I mention are Helen Jacobs’ The Little Sage deck.

I also mention my current Last Chance Flash Sale… that’s only available until this Sunday 24th November. I’m retiring my 5 standalone online programs as I’m introducing one flagship program in 2025.

Before I do that though, I’m giving you one last chance to snap them up… for a crazy price of only $79!

This means you save $200-$900 per program, and if you bundle up and purchase all five, you save a whopping $2,222.

This week’s episode will resonate with most of you business owners listening! Ness Hartge is a VIP member of my Bold Darling Mastermind.

She has run her book-keeping business, The Bush Bookkeeper, from rural NSW for the last three years.

Just a year ago, she was in the thick of overwhelm / start-up stress / wearing all the hats… and not exactly LOVING entrepreneur life!

In her words, she was a “slave to the business”.

In October last year, she attended my Bali retreat and had some major breakthroughs that have completely changed the trajectory of her business, and her life as a result.

In this week’s episode, she generously unpacks those breakthroughs for the benefit of those listening who are currently experiencing those pain points.

Expect a heart opening, raw and inspiring conversation!

We cover:

The “before” and “after” of her life and business over the last 12 months
The lightbulb moments she had a year ago
The very first thing she did to change her situation
Establishing boundaries with clients - what she’s done, how she’s handled it, and the difference it has made
Reviewing, and increasing, her prices
What success looks like for her now

You can connect with Ness via Instagram - @thebushbookkeeper.

You can join me for my next Bali retreat this coming October, from Monday 21st to Saturday 26th October. There are just a handful of private and twin spots remaining. Find out more here: lorrainemurphy.com.au/retreat-oct-2024

A very important Dear Lorraine episode this week - I’m responding to listener Elke, who says: “I’m thinking about returning to work post baby and I’m struggling with Mum Guilt.”

I’ve taken a wider lens in my response to her, and talked about Mum Guilt more broadly.

I cover:

The importance of separating out societal-induced Mum Guilt, and our own motherly instincts
My two experiences of Mum Guilt
Celebrating yourself as a mum
Women as the “emotional thermometer” of the household
How I pushed myself too hard after having Lexi

I so hope this episode helps to soothe your soul and reinforce your own innate wisdom and worth as a mother.

I see you!

I just returned from a girls’ weekend in Tasmania… which was all kinds of magical! I wanted to do an experience like this for so long, and I’m thrilled that this year was the year it happened.

Putting together a weekend like this can feel intimidating on multiple levels: emotionally (what if no-one comes?), mentally - it’s so much to do!, etc.

This girls’ weekend I just organised could not have been more stress-free or seamless, and in this week’s episode I’m sharing the behind-the-scenes tips of how we achieved that.

Longevity has become a mainstream focus in recent years, however the space has felt a bit… blokey to me. This week on the show, I’m chatting to health expert Amelia Phillips on how we can live longer, but also better, as women.

Amelia has been in the health and wellness industry for over 25 years: as a trainer, exercise scientist, researcher, nutritionist, podcaster, TV presenter and corporate speaker. She was a cofounder of the Michelle Bridges 12 Week Body Transformation, and is a regular expert on TV, including in the current Channel 9 Show “Do You Want To Live Forever?” She also hosts a top rating podcast called Healthy Her.

Amelia and I discuss:

The key factors that dictate how long, and how well, someone will live
At what age we should get serious about taking action on these factors
Your life span versus your health span
The key metrics we should be tracking
“Body whispers” you should never ignore
How to tackle overwhelm at getting started on your own longevity steps
How to find the experts to support you
That it is possible to care for your longevity without breaking the bank

You can find out more about Amelia at her website - ameliaphillips.com.au - and on her Instagram - @_amelia_phillips. Her next Inner Vitality program is starting on 5th August!

The greatest fears men hold
Polarity and why it has such influence on relationships
The issues men often have with their intimate relationships

Given that we’re now (almost) halfway through 2024, I recently did a review of my goals. In this week’s episode, I’m sharing what’s going well, what’s going so-so… and what needs a kick up the ass to make it happen by the end of the year! This is also a life update six months on from our transition back to Sydney from Spain.

I hope this episode helps you review and celebrate your own goals, and reminds you that it’s not too late to get started on some if they haven’t become a reality just yet.

The “birth” of Mabel's World – how it came to be
The blocks she experienced in creating it

Imposter syndrome is something that most of us are faced with multiple times throughout our careers and lives. This week, I’m answering Nicole’s question: “How do I actively overcome imposter syndrome?”

A bit of a different episode this week… I’m getting my beauty editor on!

Several times a week, I get asked the same question on Instagram: “What are you doing with your skin? It’s glowing!”

As someone who has battled my skin for years (and had a 6-year career in beauty PR), this question entertains me - but I also need to answer it properly. Hence this week’s solo episode.

I share the skin concerns that I struggle with, and the ten steps I’ve taken to get my glow on in recent years. My skin this year is A Big Goal, so it’s action stations on this front!

I cover:

My dream London beauty job
The monthly non-negotiable that I’ve committed to this year
The mistake that a lot of women make with their skincare regime
The exact brands and products I use
How I’ve recently found a wonder product that has transformed my skin even more
The supermarket product that sorted a skincare niggle recently
The makeup that has rocked my world - and it’s clean!
The supplements I take for my skin

I hope you enjoy this step into my beauty world - let me know if you’d like more episodes like this!

Alcohol seems to walk hand in hand for the modern experience as a woman - I’ve experienced this myself, with my friends, and with my mentees. Alcohol in our society is seen as the cure-all: it helps relieve stress, is a way to celebrate, and helps us connect with others. But what about the downsides?

Sarah Rusbatch is an accredited Grey Area Drinking Coach, Menopause Coach, Author, Motivational Speaker and host of a community of over 20,000 women. She has been featured in publications such as ABC News, MamaMia, Body & Soul, Women’s Health, The Sunday Times and is a regular media commentator on Channel 9. Sarah has supported thousands to change their relationship with alcohol, and recently published her first book, Beyond Booze: How To Create A Life You Love Alcohol-Free.

In our conversation, she shares her story with alcohol and what she has learned about it in the process, including:

What Grey Area Drinking is, and how someone knows if they fall into this category
Why she believes Alcohol Use Disorder in women has increased over 80% in the last 30 years
Why women are more vulnerable than men to the health risks of alcohol
The greatest benefits and the biggest changes for her and the women she works with in choosing to go alcohol free
Why alcohol is “the only drug we have to justify not taking"
Her advice on navigating socialising and friendships without alcohol
Her biggest tips for anyone wanting to change their own relationship with alcohol

To find out more about Sarah’s work, visit her website at sarahrusbatch.com or find her on Instagram - @sarahrusbatch. You can find her book, Beyond Booze, in all good bookstores and as an ebook.

Every time I do a shout-out for Dear Lorraine requests, I get this question several times: “How do I blend work and family thing?”

This week on the show, I answer it!

You might be expecting a step-by-step guide… which this episode isn’t.

I start by sharing some raw moments from my own recent experiences, then I identify the specific areas that I find most challenging when it comes to blending my business and family….

And THEN I get into the things that help me in this area.

If you’d like to dive deeper into this space with me, you’ll love my third book Baby, You’re Remarkable.

And staying on books, for the month of May I’m giving away FREE signed copies of my fourth book, Step Into You. You just need to pay for postage! Get your copy here and I’ll pop it in the mail for you: lorrainemurphy.com.au/siy-book.

I’ve gotten to walk alongside several mentees as they started their first business, and I’ve never seen someone’s first year be so stupendously successful and textbook as the one Kat Wellum-Kent just had.

Kat had been in my world for several years when we embarked on mentoring as she was deciding whether or not to leave her corporate accountancy career to start her own business.

Spoiler alert: she did, and it was awesome! And she did this with pretty challenging personal circumstances.

In our conversation, we unpack her Year 1 experience - what worked, what could have gone better… and whether the reality of having her own business marries up to the vision she had for it.

She also shares:

The moment she knew she was going to go for it
What most excited her about the prospect of having her own biz
…And what terrified her!
The very first 3 steps she took in starting
How she navigated a start-up and solo parenting for 6 months
Why sales isn’t sales to her
Her support team and how she decided who to hire and when
What she did to conquer self-doubt and all the other start-up mindset blocks
One thing she’d say to someone working in corporate who's thinking about starting their own business

You can find out more about Kat’s business at fractionalfinance.co.uk or on Instagram - @fractionalfinance.

I’ve got a whole raft of new listener challenges to respond to in Dear Lorraine episodes, hooray!

Today I’m addressing this problem: “I really want to take the next step and grow my business, but I’m already overwhelmed. How can I possibly take this next step?!”

I LOVE this question, as I’ve experienced this myself many times… and mentoring many a mentee through it too.

Listen in to hear my response, including:

The simple reason we get scared about growth
The reframe on risk that has served me well over the years
Busting the myth that a bigger business = bigger stress

I hope this episode helps you next time you’re struck with growth overwhelm.

Laura and I discuss:

The impact on women (and their businesses) when a relationship isn’t fulfilling

There are obviously lots of “hard” skills we talk about when it comes to growing a business: sales, marketing, operations, admin… It’s a pretty long list!

But there are also several “soft” skills that are essential in entrepreneurship; many of which are often overlooked.

In this week’s episode, I identify the three skills that are absolutely critical to help you achieve your business goals - in a sustainable way for you as the founder.

I cover:

The factors influencing the need for more of these soft skills in business
The feminine quality that’s an absolute business superpower
The practice I’m currently using to help me tap into my intuition (It’s so simple! Yet powerful!)
The negative impact of putting off key decisions
Tools that can help you make faster and more effective decisions
A “resilience tank”... and why you need to be prioritising yours

Time is probably THE biggest challenge that I see my community having - and it came back yet again when I invited requests for this new season of the show!

In a different style of episode, this week I pose five questions to help you uncover where your challenges around time might be coming from. Along with, of course, some tips and ideas on what you can do in that particular area relating to time including:

I’m very excited for this week’s episode, as we dive deep into the parenting universe with Jaclyn Carlson, a certified Mother Mentor, Parent Coach, and Matrescence Facilitator. Jaclyn brings a deeply compassionate and mother-centric approach to her work, understanding the profound impact, challenges, and extraordinary strengths that motherhood offers women steering their own businesses.

In our chat, Jaclyn shares her own experiences of the parenting and business blend, as well as many 'aha' moments and insights that will pave the way for a more connected, conscious approach to raising our little humans.

We cover:

Her background and how she felt called to make the pivot she has
What a mother mentor/parenting coach actually does
What she has found the singularly most challenging part of the parenting/business blend (I share mine here too)
The concept of matrescence, and how it can be a double whammy for business owners
Why parenting can actually be your superpower in business (I loved this point she made!)
The impact of our own childhoods and how we can break generational cycles with our own children
Self-silencing and the future risk it creates
The number 1 goal parents should be focusing on
Her tips on nervous system regulation - especially in the midst of a meltdown (kids and our own!)

This week’s Dear Lorraine question is: “I’m looking to step out of corporate and I’m pondering my next steps. What would your advice be to me?”

I love this question as I’ve worked with many mentees on exactly this challenge! While I did answer my listener’s question, this will be a super helpful episode for anyone who’s currently at a crossroads in their life or career, or is feeling that flicker of curiosity about what life could be.

In my response, I cover:

The difference between an “away from” goal and a “towards” goal
The set of “heart” questions to ask yourself to help you uncover your purpose
The set of “head” questions to ask yourself in order to identify your purpose
The concept of “runway” and how it helps decide next steps
Options to start a more “off-the-rack” business
The really fucking sad story that underlines everything I share in this episode

I mention my brilliant mentee Michelle Kvello’s Corporate To Consultant program, which steps you through the process of leaving corporate and going out on your own. You can find it right here: corporatetoconsultant.com.au.

One of my goals this year is to move more… especially during my work days of extended sitting on my ass!

So I was thrilled to have this chat I’m sharing with you this week, with the effervescent Lizzie Williamson. Lizzie is an author, TEDx speaker, certified personal trainer and a regular fitness presenter on morning TV with her work featured on Good Morning America and the Today Show.

In our conversation, we covered:

Her background and how she came to do the work she does
Her experience with postnatal depression and what it taught her
The scientific reason why movement helps so much (this was fascinating!)
The number one reason Aussies give for not doing more exercise
Fun - and accessible - ideas on how to move more throughout your work day
The merits of a standing desk, and how to make it work for you

This week on the show, I’m sharing the third and final part of my Bali retreat debrief. I’m delighted that Jimmy Doyle, our healer-in-residence on the retreat (and one of my most popular past guests!) is returning to share the healing side of the experience.

Our intention with this conversation is to pass on some of the greatest lessons and insights from the retreat, so that you get to learn from it too… and hopefully help you feel seen for the challenges you may be experiencing yourself.

In our conversation, we cover:

What he actually does!
His philosophy of “knowing yourself to be yourself”
The most common challenges he saw within my retreat group
His explanation for bloating
Why healing isn’t about changing ourselves, but loving and protecting ourselves
The simple tool we can all use to amplify our intuition and protect our energy

The two books Jimmy recommends are:

Heal Your Body, Louise Hay
The Body Is The Barometer For The Soul, Anette Noontil

This week on the show, I’m sharing the second part of my Bali retreat debrief. I’m thrilled to have the brilliant Claire Obeid, our spiritual guide joining me for a debrief on the spiritual and energetic side of the experience.

Our intention with this conversation is to pass on some of the greatest lessons and insights from the retreat, so that you get to learn from it too… and hopefully help you feel seen for the challenges you may be experiencing yourself.

In our conversation, we cover:

What her role was on the retreat
What “space holding” is, and how it’s rare for us to have spaceholders in our lives
Her Miracle Mornings, and how she creates her sessions
Why the yoga she teaches is very different to what guests had experienced before
The most common challenges and blocks that we observed in the group
How retreats can be a boundary in themselves
The genius (and hilarious) motto we both love when it comes to boundaries
The difference between guests on Day 1 and Day 6 (plus the one I didn’t expect!)
The number 1 practice she suggests for a home practice - though she cheated and gave 2…

My own glow up last year, and the one incoming for 2024!

In the spirit of this season’s theme of “Reflect & Restore”, this week I’m sharing the three most powerful pieces of business advice I’ve received this year.

These three nuggets have changed the game for me in my business - I’m more excited than I’ve ever been about my work, and happily, revenue reflects that!

As always on the show, I want to pass those learnings on to you - and share them within the context of specific examples in my own business, and the businesses of my mentees.

I hope they help you as much as they have me.

I’ve long been a fan of the benefits of magnesium, so I was super keen to meet someone who’s built an entire multi-million dollar business on this miracle mineral!

Cassie Sanghvi is the founder of Australia's leading magnesium skincare company, The Base Collective. With her background as a pharmacist, she always read the ingredients list on labels, but having children really sparked her interest in natural, organic products, and she was struggling to find products she felt comfortable using on her family and that looked good.

The Base Collective reached huge success with its best-selling Magnesium Oil. In just 8 years, Cassie has turned the brand into a multi-million dollar business with customers all over the world and a deal with Coles.

In our conversation, Cassie shares:

Why magnesium is so powerful... specifically for women with pretty full lives!
Her "aha" moment that birthed the business
The very first steps she took to make the business a reality
Her philosophy of “going big” from Day 1
The three greatest obstacles she’s had to overcome to get the business to where it is now
The very specific challenges that surprised her about a product-based business model
The support infrastructure she has built around her to enable her to run the business and be a mother of three
Her current goal in the business (and it wasn’t what I expected)

The book Cassie recommends is “Breath” by James Nestor.

Enter to win a $200 voucher for The Base Collective on my Instagram - @lorrainemurphymentor. A winner will be announced on Thursday 21st November.

Welcome to a new season of the show! This season’s theme is “Restore & Reflect” - a slower pace after the growth of the last season. I thought it would be fitting given we’re approaching the end of the year and maybe energy tanks might be flagging…

I’m kicking this season off with this episode that starts with an insight from a mentoring session this week, then I share a life update and a sneak peek at what’s coming in my business over the next 12 months - exciting!

Stay tuned for news on my Goalsetting & Goalgetting Workshop on Tuesday 5th December.

One of the saddest things I see in my community is women living a life that is out of alignment with what would truly make them happy ( and I’ve experienced this myself).

My guest this week is on a mission to help as many women as possible create what she calls their “lifestyle by design”.

Tracy Harris is the founder and CEO of Mums With Hustle, a podcaster, speaker and coach. She transitioned from her career as a primary educator to now leading a 7-figure business that helps mums create abundant businesses using Instagram.

We have a powerful conversation this week for you! In it we cover:

Her background and how she came to do the work she now does
The life she was living versus the life she lives now
The one biggest factor that has created that new reality for her (her answer to this blew me away)
The difference between a “lifestyle by default” and a “lifestyle by design”
The area she sees women the most out of alignment in when it comes to creating their lives
The old realities we need to let go of, and how we create those new realities
The daily practices she has followed for years to enable her to do this
How she recommends you get clarity on what your life COULD look like
The importance of being around others with a similar growth mindset... and how she does that
How to have more fun!

The book Tracy recommends is “Breaking The Habit Of Being Yourself” by Dr. Joe Dispenza.

Starting and running a business can be really tough - both when external situations, people or events impact us, and when things on the outside appear to be going well and we’re consumed with mindset gremlins.

Having run my own businesses for 11 years, I’ve ridden that rollercoaster… and built up a bank of lessons, reframes and tools that I lean heavily on - and that I teach my one-on-one mentees!

In this episode, I pass on five of the most valuable nuggets that reassure me when the going gets tough (and not just in business either). I hope they feel like a big comforting hug if you need it right now, and that you can come back to this episode in gnarly times in future.

I also share that doors are open NOW to my Bold Darling Mastermind. I’ve recently tweaked a couple of elements to the model, which means it’s completely accessible to you no matter where you are in the world… and the investment has come down too.

Doors close at midnight on Thursday 28th September, and they won’t open again for 6 months. Go to bolddarling.com to find out more.

Preparing a business baby for a human baby coming along is no mean feat, and it can be even trickier when you’re trying to figure it all out yourself. I know as I wrote a book about everything I experienced as I navigated that journey!

I’m thrilled to bring you this conversation with two women who have very recently traversed the same path. Anna-Louise Moule is the founder of Balanced Bodies Lifestyle Clinic in Sydney - and now proud mama to Frankie. Elke Hoenisch is the founder of Power Body For Life, which provides online personal training for pre and post partum women… and now also mama to William.

In our chat, we cover:

Their different routes to business/family - Anna being more established, while Elke started her business on maternity leave
Their initial thoughts/fears/excitements about bringing an actual baby to join their business babies
How they prepared their businesses for Baby's arrival… and the elements that surprised them in that process
Who they leaned on for advice as they embarked on their entrepreneurial mama journeys
The reality vs the vision of post-Baby life
One thing they would say to someone who has a business and wants to start a family
One thing you would say to someone who wants their own business one day and also wants a family (Elke)

I hope that this episode helps you if you’ve got designs on having your own business AND a family one day, and it also resonates if you’re already on that path!

Remember my FREE training - The Bold Breakthrough - is kicking off this Monday 18th September. Each day for five days, I’ll tackle a specific business troublespot - in just 5 minutes a day! You can sign up at lorrainemurphy.com.au/tbb.

Probably the biggest problem that business owners face is finding the time to work ON their businesses, rather than IN them… not an easy thing to do.

That’s why I’ve just announced a new FREE training that will help you work ON your business… in the same time it takes to drink a cup of coffee.

The Bold Breakthrough will run for five days from Monday 18th-Friday 22nd September, and each day I’ll tackle a specific business troublespot - in just 5 minutes a day! You can sign up at lorrainemurphy.com.au/tbb.

And in the spirit of breakthroughs… in this week’s episode, I share my top 7 breakthroughs in the last 14 years. These are the insights, new perspectives or actions that have been the biggest gamechangers for me - not just in business, but personally as well.

This was a really fun and reflective episode to create, and I hope it helps you reflect on your own breakthroughs to date… and set your sights on some more!

This thing called adulting requires us to care for ourselves, show up for work, and generally be a responsible citizen… however one area that many women neglect is their financial adulting. My guest this week is on a mission to change that!

Mel Browne is an ex-accountant, ex-financial advisor and entrepreneur. She’s a financial wellness advocate and financial coach, as well as an educator, speaker, advisor and multiple business owner. She’s also been one of our experts in my Bold Darling Mastermind.

She has written four books; More Money for Shoes, Fabulous but Broke, the global best-seller Unf*ck your Finances and her most recent, Budgets Don't Work (But This Does).

In this week’s episode, Mel and I discuss:

The crazy financial decision she made at 33
Her definition of financial success
The greatest influences that shape our money beliefs and behaviours
Why women are less likely to discuss money with friends/peers
The biggest pain points women have when it comes to their money
How to manage your mindset (and your money!) in a tough financial climate
Why so many of us avoid/delay/procrastinate on dealing with our finances
“Lifestyle creep” and how it impacts our ability to reach our goals
What Financial Adulting looks like
The average number of revenue streams a millionaire has
One thing she would advise a woman in her 20s/30s/40s/50s to do to secure her financial future

To find out more about Mel’s work (and access her free resources!) go to: melissabrowne.com.au or follow her on Instagram at @melbrowne.money.

Oh, and doors to her flagship Financial Adulting Plan are opening next week!

This week’s Dear Lorraine episode is in response to a listener request, who shared: “Decision making - I struggle with this massively. There are things I can easily and confidently make decisions about. But the ones I can’t really hold me back. It’s exhausting!”

It’s honestly not something I had considered before - how do we make effective decisions that move us forward, and give us peace of mind in doing so? In this episode, I step through the tools that I engage to make decisions, and also how we can tune into ourselves and our own intuition when making both the little and big calls.

I hope what I share gives you both reassurance and clarity as you approach the next decision in your life or business.

JJ DiGeronimo is a three-time award-winning author, speaker, and former leading woman in the tech industry. After 25 years in that industry, she hit a wall from over-producing, over-delivering, and over-committing. She was questioning all aspects of her life and felt like she was her own worst enemy.

Eventually, JJ realised that she needed to make a change. She started by seeking professional help and began a journey of self-discovery. She learned how to set boundaries, say no, and take care of herself. JJ's transformation was profound. She went from feeling lost and overwhelmed to feeling confident and empowered.

Her latest book, Seeking, shares 74 key findings to raise your energy, sidestep your self-doubts and align with your life’s work.

How - and why - self doubt is the No.1 challenge she sees women experiencing
How are alignment and growth are linked
What it means to live in alignment in our lives and businesses
The most common factors that send women out of alignment
Her concept of “drowning in yeses”
The Power of No tool framework she created
Her own challenges with accessing her feminine energy
What we can do to steady ourselves after a curveball, and get back in alignment
The concept of fuel stations and how we can incorporate them into our lives
Her perspective on setting and maintaining boundaries

This week on the show, I’m sharing the juicy behind-the-scenes deets on two exciting developments in my life and business…

First up, the rebrand I unveiled for my business this week. I talk about why now for this step, what’s been involved in making it happen, and the unexpected extra upsides I’ve already experienced as a result.

Secondly, I share my recent Ibiza retreat experience - including my intentions for the time away, how it made me surrender (for once!), the practitioners I saw there, and the realisations I had during my time away.

I hope you enjoy this chatty episode, and the new look and feel for the show!

This week we have another “Dear Lorraine” episode! I asked my Instagram community what their biggest challenge is right now - and I had a LOT of responses.

Today, I’m speaking to a major issue that came through in those responses: how we move forward with taking a risk.

As I share in this episode, all progress in our lives and business requires some level of risk - and each of us have a different appetite for risk. I start my response with the best definition I’ve ever heard, and one I’ve worked with for over a decade. Then I step through the processes and questions I ask myself when faced with a risk, and that I use with my one-on-one mentees.

This episode will help you navigate past the next horizon of your comfort zone, and enable you to enhance your growth mindset.

Sharing the story of a business, and crafting its own unique voice, can be a challenge for many business owners - most especially those who don’t identify as natural writers. This block can really hold a business back, and prevent entrepreneurs reaching the full potential of their marketing. Luckily for us, this week on the show we have a gold standard expert in brand voice and storytelling!

Brooke Hill is a brand storyteller, content consultant and copywriting coach. For over 20 years, she has either led marketing campaigns or created content for some of the world’s leading brands - including Sheridan, Paspaley, Valentino, David Jones and Gucci. She’s the author of children’s picture book, You Two, You Two, and has been a longtime mentee of mine.

In our conversation, Brooke shares:

Why every brand is a storyteller... and how to tell our unique stories
The three biggest challenges small businesses
face when it comes to content creation
Her gorgeous definition of strategy - I had never heard this before!
How to bring content and desired business outcomes together
What a brand voice is, and how we create one for our businesses
When we should outsource copywriting
How AI can support us in communicating our brands
The SEO benefit of great copy
How she has built her business on the basis of strong boundaries
What’s currently exciting her - and challenging her! - in her business

The resources Brooke mentions are:

Building a Storybrand book by Donald Miller

Kate Toon’s SEO Nibbles course

I asked my Instagram community what their biggest challenge is right now - and I had a LOT of responses! In this new “Dear Lorraine” occasional episode format, I speak to one of these challenges.

First up is a challenge that keeps a lot of us back from experiencing the growth we want or need to: that icky feeling of being stuck.

In this first “Dear Lorraine” episode, I address this challenge - including the five steps I suggest to get yourself unstuck, the need for an occasional “Winter”, and honest sharing from my own experiences of feeling stuck over the years.

Whether you feel you need a bit of a kickstart, or a total overhaul right now, this is a great episode to help you on your way.

The book I mention is Wintering by Katherine May - I highly recommend it!

This week on the show I’m bringing back one of the people who has been a key guide for me in my personal and business journey. Helen Jacobs is a psychic and soul coach, and author of three books.

Her third book, Follow Your Heart: Simple Daily Rituals For Honing Your Intuition, was published in May this year, and is a guide to connecting with your intuition (which, as we discuss in our conversation, is an essential superpower that we should all be nurturing!).

Helen and I discuss:

How she defines intuition
How intuition is so closely connected to our heart
Why intuition is so important in business
My own experience of an intuitive nudge recently in business
Why intuition isn’t always leading us to our “happy ever after path of easy”
How we can differentiate between intuition and fear - who's talking?!
The tools and practises she recommends to tune into our intuition more
How we know if our intuition is actually working!
What to do during speed wobbles of faith and trust, and how we can get back on the path
One thing she would like listeners to do after listening to this episode

The authors I mention in the episode are Louise Hay and Florence Scovel Shinn.

To find out more about Helen’s work, you can visit her website at helenjacobs.co or connect with her on Instagram at @helenjacobs.co. You can find Follow Your Heart in leading bookstores, and online.

Ah, a fresh new season just in time for the second half of 2023! This week I’m sharing my progress on my goals that I set at the beginning of this year - what’s on track, what’s not… and how I’m going to course correct over the next six months.

I LOVE hearing about other peoples’ goals and how they’re tracking with them (probably why I love mentoring so much), and I wanted this episode to be a case study of sorts to help you review your own goals at this mid-year point. It also gives me epic public accountability to make mine happen by 31st December…

I talk about progress on our life in Spain, the best investment in our relationship ths year, developments in my business and the habits I want to work on from here.

I also share an exciting announcement about my Bali retreat in October. There are just four spots remaining. Find out more on my website: lorrainemurphy.com.au.

I see burn-out as being THE most critical occupational hazard of running a business - especially for female entrepreneurs (more on why that is soon!). The responsibility of it can feel huge, with the pressure to perform and serve all the different stakeholders of our business.

The problem is, we want to also live our lives - a core tenet of why I started my Bold Darling membership group! As I always try to remind myself: if I go down, the whole thing goes down - the business, but also my health, relationships and family.

Filippa Belette is a co-founder of Chris & Filly Functional Medicine, a virtual award-winning health and wellness practice. They specialise in ending body burnout in high-achieving people.

Since 2009, Chris & Filly have worked with more than 2,000+ burned-out parents, including multi-millionaire entrepreneurs to successfully optimise their energy, productivity, and become connected to their family, their passion and their purpose in this world.

In our conversation, Filippa and I cover:

Her own experience of burn-out after the birth of her first baby
How that experience led her to finding her business path
The core childhood patterns that can set us up for burn-out later on in life
The less obvious signs of burn-out
Why PMS is not normal
How long the timeline to burn-out can take
Whether or not female entrepreneurs are more likely to struggle with their health than male entrepreneurs
Post-baby burnout in entrepreneurial mums
The business/family blend and what she sees as the biggest challenges women have who are navigating both
The symptoms that can arise from body imbalances
How to go about finding a practitioner to support you
One thing that you can do to immediately support your health better

Hooray! This week I get to talk about one of my absolute favourite things… BOOKS.

Books have, over the years, been one of the greatest sources of learning for me when it comes to the tools and knowledge required to grow a successful business.

I have revisited these ten books many times since starting my first business 11 years ago, and they’re the books I recommend most often to my community.

In this episode, I talk through the books, the biggest takeouts I had from them, and how they have changed my life and business.

For ease, I’ll share the titles here in the show notes too:

The Ultimate Sales Machine, Chet Holmes
The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, Patrick Lencioni
Big Magic, Elizabeth Gilbert
Purple Cow, Seth Godin
Do The Work, Steven Pressfield
The Five Second Rule, Mel Robbins
Mastering The Rockefeller Habits, Verne Harnish
Thrive, Arianna Huffington
Chill & Prosper, Denise Duffield-Thomas
How I Built This, Guy Raz

I also mention in this episode that there are just FIVE spots left on my Bali retreat in October. Visit my website - lorrainemurphy.com.au - to find out more about it.

Sales is the lifeblood of any business, however it can also be the most intimidating element of entrepreneurship. Sales isn’t a skill we’re taught at school or university; so for many business owners, they need to figure a lot out very fast when it comes to bringing the dollars into their business.

Thankfully we have experts like Abbie White in the world! She is one of Australia’s most dynamic sales experts, as well as an in demand speaker and podcast host. With over 15 years’ experience in sales, she has assisted in the delivery of over $500m in sales for her clients.

In our conversation, Abbie and I discuss:

How she became the sales guru she is
The best salesperson she has encountered as a customer
How everyone in a team has an impact on sales
If there is a “best time” of the year to be thinking about sales strategy
What sales trends she’s seeing for FY23/24 (including the stat that lit a rocket under my ass!)
The best strategies for lead generation
Her tips on converting leads into sales
What to think about when investing in a sales person (I also share my non-starter stories here…)
How to brush up on your sales skills

I have long been a fan of retreats - since going on my first one in 2013.

Since then, I’ve gone on multiple retreats: guided and self-guided, high budget and low budget. I’ve also hosted several retreats for my community in Bali, Byron Bay, Noosa and the Central Coast.

Over the last decade, I’ve become something of an expert retreat-er (ha!) and have built up a checklist on what makes the perfect retreat - which I share in this episode.

I also touch on why retreats are so key, and how to overcome the guilt that can be associated with investing money and time away from everyday commitments in order to prioritise ourselves.

I also mention in the episode that this week I announced I’ll be hosting my first Bali retreat in 5 years this October. I am sooooo excited! Spots will be open next week.

A personal brand business is a superb way to package up your know-how into an infinitely scalable revenue stream…

… but (BIG but) - figuring out your offer, and how to sell it, can lead you down endless rabbit holes.

Turns out rabbit holes don’t make you time or money.

Believe me I’ve tried!!

My personal brand business now enables me to work with hundreds of entrepreneurs at a time and have handsome monthly recurring revenue, while getting to be in my happy place of creating… and working from anywhere in the world (I’m just back from - which was on my must-visit list for years!).

To get to this point though, I’ve had to figure out a LOT: what was worth investing time in, and what was a spectacular waste of time. And, eventually, I created my own model for what an effective personal brand business looks like.

In this week’s episode, I’m sharing the Masterclass I hosted last week. I take you behind the scenes of my business and share with you the five steps you MUST take to create a personal brand business that:

Allows you to leverage your time more effectively (e.g: expanding from one-to-one offers to one-to-many offers)
Attracts your dream clients to you
Enables you to handsomely monetise your knowledge and experience

I promise I can help you save YEARS of trying to figure it out yourself.

In this episode, I also announce my brand spanking new offer to help you grow your personal brand business.

It’s called Amplify You and it’s a 10-week intensive container that blends Masterclass-style sessions with hands-on support from me, and a veritable arsenal of resources, templates and checklists. Put simply: it’s my business in a box!

Over 10 weeks, I’ll guide you through what I have learned are the core pillars of what a successful personal brand business requires: Strategy, Mindset, Brand, Marketing, Products and Systems & Support. I’ll be packaging up my greatest lessons, and also drawing on the wisdom of savvy subject experts

It kicks off on Thursday 11th May - find out more here at lorrainemurphy.com.au.

In our conversation, she shares her insights on how to set you (and your VA) up for a successful relationship, including:

What exactly a VA is - I learned something here!
The typical tasks that suit a VA best
How to decide between an offshore VA and Australia-based support
Delegation vs. abdication - this was powerful
What the payment ranges are for a VA
Direct hiring vs. hiring through an agency
When the best lifestage of your biz is to look at hiring a VA
The three biggest mistakes biz owners making with VAs

It’s been a while since we had a chat! So this week I’ve got an informal catch-up episode.

In it I talk frankly about how the transition to life in Spain is going, walk through a topline debrief on my Bold Darling launch, and share a couple of hints on exciting developments coming up in my business.

…one of which is the free Masterclass I’m hosting next week!

It’s called “Brand YOU - 5 steps to grow your personal brand business” and I’ll be sharing the five steps you MUST take to create a personal brand business that allows you to leverage your time more effectively, attracts your dream clients to you and enables you to handsomely monetise your knowledge and experience.

Human Design has become quite the trendy topic over recent years, and maybe - like me! - you’ve wondered “WTF is this all about?”. I had dabbled in the space a couple of years ago, then decided I wanted to get a solid understanding of human design.

I turned to Human Design Guide Billie Routledge to give me (and you!) the “101” on what it’s all about. Billie read my human design chart and gave me an indepth reading, then I interviewed her for the show.

Join me as I figure out Human Design with the brilliant guidance of Billie, including:

Her background and how she came across Human Design
The four modalities that Human Design originates from
An overview of the five different energy types within Human Design
Why working against your Human Design could be why you’re feeling burnt out
Why Human Design can be so potent for business owners
Whether or not a particular Human Design is especially advantageous for business owners
How to get your own Human Design reading
How Human Design can help you manage your energy more effectively
How to complement your Human Design energy type

Resources Billie references:

As I love you podcast listeners so much, I’m treating your ears (and brains!) to three bonus episodes over the next three days.

This week, I hosted the SHOWUP - a 3-day personal brand journey to help business owners amplify their personal brand in order to grow their businesses.

This week, I hosted the SHOWUP - aka a 3-day personal brand journey to help business owners amplify their personal brand in order to grow their businesses.

Day 2 was all about CONTENT. Content, fundamentally, is how you bring your personal brand to life. How, when and why you show up for your community will dictate how they perceive you, how much they trust you, and how much they want to give you their money…

You’ll learn:

How content can bridge the gap between where your personal brand is now - and where you want it to be
The 3 very real pain points of content creation

This week, I hosted the SHOWUP - aka a 3-day personal brand journey to help business owners amplify their personal brand in order to grow their businesses.

Today I’m sharing the Day 1 session, which focused on STRATEGY. It’s critical to be clear on where you want to be, where you are now… and how you’re going to bridge the gap between the two in order to successfully amplify your personal brand.

In it, I shared:

The difference between approaching your personal brand reactively versus proactively
The tool I created when I was a lowly middle manager with zero personal brand when I was starting my first business in 2012
How to design the “endstate” of your personal brand
The model I’ve built my personal brand business on (that will help you no matter what industry you’re in)

I feel like a mum marvelling at how quickly her kids grow up… My Bold Darling Mentoring Program is about to turn one year old - I can’t believe it!

I created Bold Darling as I could see far too many stressed-out, burnt-out, unfulfilled business owners in my community. The program immediately caught fire (in a good way), with the number of new members far surpassing what I had even hoped for from day one.

In the last 12 months, I have spent time with this group multiple times a month, and we have had 12 absolutely stellar experts join us too.

This week I wanted to hand the spotlight over to five of these experts - believe me, it was so tough to choose just five!

In this episode, you’ll hear from:

Influence expert Julie Masters on why we should forget about confidence and focus on certainty instead
Leading online marketer Jaclyn Carlson on the perilous mistake so many business owners make in neglecting email list growth
Jack Delosa, founder of The Entourage, on how to create more space to think strategically in your business
Laura Elkaslassy, CEO of Profit First Australia, on how the Profit First methodology can change your business… and your life
Instagram expert Brooke Vulinovich on the 3 greatest mistakes entrepreneurs make on the platform

This week I flung open the doors for new members to Bold Darling - hooray!! They’re closing at midnight AEST Tuesday 4th April… and they won’t be opening again until October this year.

Finance - especially for business owners - can be THE most stressful part of the entrepreneurial journey… I know I’ve had my fair share of 2am panics about cash flow, mounting invoices and revenue pipelines!!

My guest on the show this week knows that finance angst well - having struggled with the financial management of her business for many years, even not paying herself for 14 years. After navigating the shitstorm of COVID, she then turned her attention to staging a financial turnaround for the business.

Tamara Scamporlino is the owner of Sydney dance studio, and is also a founding member of my Bold Darling mentoring group. In our conversation this week, she shares in raw detail the challenges she has experienced with finance in her business, and the step-by-step of what she did to turn a pretty tough situation around.

To find out more about Tamara, follow her at Instagram - @tamscamp - or connect with her business at vibzdancestudio.com.au.

Next week, the SHOWUP - my FREE 3-day personal brand experience - is happening. From Wednesday 29th - Friday 31st March, I’ll step you through the three key pillars to making this happen:

Day 1 - STRATEGY

Day 2 - MINDSET

This week on the show, I get to share with you a conversation I had with a true-blue industry trailblazer - Kendall SummerHawk.

Kendall is a pioneer in the women’s entrepreneurial movement who began working as a coach in 2002 - aka a VERY different business landscape to coaches starting out today! Her mission is to put the power of making money into every woman’s hands.

She is the creator of the Sacred Money Archetypes model, and made her name as an expert in helping women unlock both financial and business success for themselves, by letting go of past money blocks in order to experience deep, soul level breakthroughs in claiming their worth. She has since evolved her business to focus on certified coach trainings.

In myself and Kendall’s chat, we cover:

The first steps she took towards coaching many moons ago
Why she describes her first year in business as “the year of fear and tears”
Filing for divorce and burning her business boats in one week
The major disadvantage she sees entrepreneurs facing today
How she found her coaching sweet spot of women and money
Why pricing is so critical in a business
The Sacred Money Archetypes and how she created them
How she transitioned to a certification program model
What she sees as the biggest blocks female entrepreneurs have when it comes to increasing their incomes
The mistake so many of us make of “crawling into our clients’ wallets” (OMG this is powerful!!)
Her own personal practices when it comes to creating abundance in her business
Why she believes coaching is a great business model
The one thing you can do to immediately increase abundance in your business

As you’ll hear, Kendall is a magnetic storyteller and I absolutely adored speaking with her.

When I started my first business 11 years ago, I had zero profile, zero marketing budget… and zero business experience. The one thing I did have was me - so I set about building my brand in order to build the brand of the business.

Thankfully, my plan worked. Focusing on my personal brand for the last decade has changed my life. That focus enabled me to build an awardwinning first business (with absolutely no marketing budget), publish four books, host a podcast for the last four years, and build a second business that now enables me to live anywhere in the world.

On the way, I figured out a LOT: what was worth investing time in, and what was a spectacular waste of time. I navigated all the mindset hurdles - self-doubt, imposter syndrome.. You name it, I’ve had it. And, eventually, I created my own model for what an effective personal brand looks like.

Growing your personal brand is never a bad idea. Being more visible enables more of your dream customers to find your business, helps them build trust in you and makes them a hell of a lot more likely to buy from you.

Personal brands are not solely the domain of influencers and coaches. Absolutely not. Every business model will benefit from the increased profile of its founder. Remember: people connect with people, not brands - and the halo effect of a high profile founder is invaluable.

In today’s episode, I share five quick hacks that will help you boost your personal brand… right now. Get ready to hear my absolute bugbears when it comes to personal branding, and some pretty direct mentoring advice!! I kept thinking of more tips as I recorded this episode.

I’m also inviting you to come behind the curtains of how to build and amplify your personal brand with a three-day high octane, high value experience. It’s called the SHOWUP. And in it, I’ll be sharing the most nuggety, hard-won lessons I’ve had in this space.

From Wednesday 22nd - Friday 24th March, I’ll step you through the three key pillars to making this happen:

Day 1 - STRATEGY

Day 2 - MINDSET

Day 3 - CONTENT

The SHOWUP will be one of the most potent three days of your business life. The “rate card” investment for it SHOULD be at least $397…However I know how important this training is, and I want as many business owners as possible to experience this.

So I’m offering it for…….. FREE. Yep, absolutely no payment required from you.

What I DO ask is that you show up for yourself during the experience.

As I recorded this episode, we are 2.5 weeks into our new life in Spain. Recently on Instagram, I asked for all your questions on this move - and gosh, did I get a lot!

In this solo episode, I share my As to all those Qs… and more.

I cover:

The reasons for this move
The key steps we took to research the move
How we decided what to offload or keep
How we found our home in Spain
The cost of living here versus Australia (all the deets!)
How I’m managing my business from here, including the surprise upside I hadn’t factored
The visa and tax logistics
How the kids are adjusting to the move
The one thing that has been my fuel in navigating all this change

I so hope you enjoy this episode, and that it maybe gives you some extra oomph in making your own big goals happen. ;-)

I also mention in this episode my new Power Month mentoring offer - you and me for one high-octane month! To get the info, just DM “Power Month” to me on Instagram.

This week on the show, I have a true blue expert to help allay your video concerns, and help you build confidence in the space with solid, actionable advice.

Described by her clients as a “video ninja”, Rebecca Saunders is a sought after video expert who works with business leaders, course creators and speakers to ensure they make their impact on the world with video.

In this nugget-packed conversation, Rebecca shares:

Her COVID boom story of going from $0 to seven-figures in one year.. and what it required of her to navigate that level of growth
The biggest gaps for business owners when it comes to video
Her advice to those who hate seeing/hearing themselves on video
The bare bones kit she recommends to get started with video yourself (camera, lighting, mic) - plus her GENIUS lighting tip
How to know a space is great to record in... and when it's not!
When we should invest in professional help

Fleur Marks once thought she was 'Wonder Woman'. Working at the top levels within multinational advertising agencies, she was a self-confessed overachieving workaholic who thrived on stress and challenge… Until she got very sick, kicking off a decade of both health and financial challenges.

That decade culminated in her starting two businesses to inspire others to take care of their wellbeing: The Wellbeing Store to offer mindful gifting and Well You, a corporate wellbeing consultancy.

Fleur - despite her health challenges - was one of the most engaging and uplifting people I’ve ever gotten to speak to and I’m so grateful to her for sharing her story with you and I on the show.

In our conversation we discuss:

Her high octane life in ad world and how she was addicted to work
The series of health challenges she experienced, and how she navigated them
The intense financial hardship that followed - going from an affluent lifestyle to depending on charity to buy fuel to get to work
The biggest lessons/insights she’s had from those challenges
The greatest issues holding women (especially female entrepreneurs) back from being as well as they could be
What changes she has made in recent years to support her wellbeing

Building a business from your personal brand is the strategy of choice for many entrepreneurs - and can be a wildly successful one. Having a personal relationship with your community enables you to build incredible trust and rapport with them, which smoothes the way for easeful sales and marketing.

However the flipside of a personal brand business is not often discussed - and my guest on the show today goes there. Sarah Akwisombe is the Sunday Times bestseller of “The Money Is Coming” and a UK entrepreneur who built an incredibly successful and profitable online business offering business training.

In 2020, the wheels came off every area of her life and business when she was, in effect, cancelled.

What ensued was a period of intense pain, then healing. On the other side of the fire, Sarah reflects with me on her career to date, the experience of almost losing everything, and her life, business and family now.

This was a profoundly touching and moving interview, and I am deeply grateful to Sarah for sharing such rawness with listeners.

You can find Sarah at sarahakwisombe.com or on Instagram at @sarahakwisombe. Her streetwear store is at notthatdeepstore.com or @notthatdeepstore.

Remember to follow @lorrainemurphymentor on Instagram.

Now go… and be bold, darling!

In this solo episode, I share my experience of going through The Hoffman Process recently.

I wasn’t planning on doing an episode on this, however there were a LOT of requests for me to talk more about it. So here we are!

The Hoffman Process was created by US psychotherapist Bob Hoffman 55 years ago and is a week-long residential and personal growth retreat that helps participants identify negative behaviours, moods, and ways of thinking that developed unconsciously and were conditioned in childhood.

As I share in this episode, I first heard about it it 2020 and 2022 was the year I committed to completing the Process.

I share my personal experience of the Process, the greatest realisations I had during it, how it has changed my life and business, the tools I continue to use afterwards, and whether or not I would recommend it.

To find out more about The Hoffman Process, visit hoffmanprocess.com.au, and you can have a free phone consultation with a facilitator to see if the Process is right for you.

For many, venturing out as a consultant will be their first step in their entrepreneurial journey, but it can be a scary step to make!

This week I’m joined by Michelle Kvello to discuss how the transition from corporate to consultant can be made as seamlessly and successfully as possible.

Ten years ago, Michelle chose to step away from her senior corporate role to found Lantern Partners, a virtual CFO firm working with founder CEOs of start ups and scale ups.

Recently named one of the top 50 Women in Accounting (2021) and top 50 Small Business Leader (2022), she is passionate about using her voice and her stories to support women in the industry, as well as small businesses and individuals moving from corporate roles into their consulting dream.

Last year she launched her Corporate to Consultant program, a practical guide through the key building blocks in making a successful move. And - hooray! - podcast listeners get a 20% discount on the program using the code BOLDDARLING.

In our conversation, Michelle shares:

Her own transition from corporate to consultant a decade ago (or “self-ejection” as she described it!)
The ten years since then - her biggest “fuck yeah” moments and “oh shit” moments
Why she’s so passionate about helping others to make this transition
What the greatest fears she sees in people wanting to move out of corporate
The most common mistakes she’s seen others make in the transition
The simple - and deadly - problem with the standard “I just want to match my salary” goal
How to deal with a negative response from a boss or colleague on leaving your role
How to find your perfect client starting out as a consultant

You can find more about Michelle on her website - michellekvello.com - and connect with her on Instagram at @michellekvello.

This week’s episode features a conversation with Bold Darling member Georgie Dent.

Georgie is a writer, author, former lawyer and prominent advocate for women, gender equality, children and families. She is the executive director of The Parenthood, a not-for-profit parent advocacy group that campaigns for paid parental leave and access to quality early childhood education and care.

Georgie is the best-selling author of Breaking Badly, a memoir that was published by Affirm Press in May 2019 to critical acclaim. The book shares her account of her nervous breakdown, which is the topic of our conversation.

We cover:

What tendencies/patterns she can see that hinted at her challenges later on
Perfectionism and how that manifested in her life
What life was like when she was approaching her breakdown
The experience of the breakdown itself
Her road to recovery and what helped
What the turning point was when she realised that she were getting better
Her biggest learnings from the breakdown
What Georgie would say to any other woman who might be struggling with her mental health right now
How to support someone who's having mental health challenges

If you are finding life challenging right now, please do know that you are NOT alone and that you can be well and happy with the right support for you.

It’s that time of the year again! Each year on the show, I do a wrap of both my personal and business highs and lows.

In this episode, I mention my Entrepreneur’s Performance Review that I complete at the end of every year. It’s a great opportunity to reflect and extract the learnings from the year so we can take them into the following year. You can download it for free here: bolddarling.com/performance-review

Thank you so much for being a part of the show this year – I really appreciate you being here.

See you over there!

What I feel went wrong with my last launch, and how I wanted to rectify that this time around

This week on the podcast I’m featuring a conversion with one of my wonderful friends, Melissa Ambrosini. Melissa is a bestselling author, podcaster and speaker… and she also became mama to beautiful Bambi last year.

Becoming a mama was one of Melissa’s greatest ambitions, and she prepared for YEARS for this role! I love talking to her about how she navigated a thriving business and starting a family.

In our conversation, we cover:

Who Melissa “pre Bambi” was
The wait to conceive, and how that sat with her as a Type A biz owner (I can speak from experience with this one too - ha!)
How she cared for herself during pregnancy, while also doing what was needed in her business
What her plans were for maternity leave - and how those plans transpired
Birthing a book and a baby at the same time and how she navigated that
How becoming a mama has changed her approach to business... and what has stayed the same
One piece of advice she wants to share with wannabe business mamas
And one piece of advice to business mamas

Melissa also talks about her new program, Wholy Mama - the ultimate guide to conception, birth, postpartum and conscious parenting. You can find out about it here: wholymama.com.

Another resource Melissa shares is her postpartum guide, which you can download here: https://melissaambrosini.com/postpartum.

In my over ten years of entrepreneurship, I’ve had a solid serving of what I call “biz shit bits” - i.e: the times that I’ve wondered why/how/if I should keep going with this whole business lark.

I’ve also gotten to support many an entrepreneur through their own shit bits, whether that’s members of my Bold Darling community, my one-on-one mentees, or my business besties.

In this week’s episode, I share the reassuring nuggets that I pass on to them… and that I try remember myself when I’m stuck in a despairing rut!

This season is taking you behind the scenes – as well as taking you behind the curtains of my businesses, I’ll also be talking to dynamic entrepreneurs, and smart experts who have the secrets and tools for success. You can also expect more chats with my business besties, and my mentees.

My guest this week is Brooke Vulinovich - an Instagram specialist, international keynote speaker and creator of the global Social Club Membership and Academy. I love how Brooke shows up so energetically and consistently for her community, so I was super keen to have her on the show. What I didn’t expect from our conversation was the potency of what she shares about her own business journey - there are a tonne of lessons to be learned from this conversation!

We cover: Her experience of imposter syndrome, and how she navigated it. How she went from saying yes to everything to narrowing her offer down to just 3 products The importance of stubbornness in business How she structures her week (including Moneymaking Monday!) The three biggest mistakes she made in the early days of the membership model The loss of her sister and how that changed her perspective on business, and life The team structure and systems she uses to support the business Her top tips for business owners to get the most of Instagram The transition to becoming an entrepreneurial mama last year The big Euro adventure she’s planning, and how her business will work around that

This season is taking you behind the scenes – as well as taking you behind the curtains of my businesses, I’ll also be talking to dynamic entrepreneurs, and smart experts who have the secrets and tools for success. You can also expect more chats with my business besties, and my mentees.

Money is - quite literally - the lifeblood of any business. Run out of cash and the music stops very fast. However, it just so happens that money is also the biggest painpoint for most business owners!

In my decade as an entrepreneur, I’ve experienced the ultimate financial highs (multi-million dollars per year revenue, a six-figure launch) and the painful lows (a $150k “surprise” bill, racking up credit card debt).

Believe me, I’ve spent a LOT of time thinking about money in the last ten years! It’s taken enormous work to reach the place I’m in now of peace, security and confidence when it comes to the dollars in my bank accounts.

In this episode, I’m sharing my Money Keys Masterclass - aka: the greatest lessons I’ve learned when it comes to unlocking the abundance you dream of in your life and business.

You will learn:

✔ How your beliefs are impacting your abundance

✔ My four golden rules of pricing

✔ How to make your life - right now - feel richly abundant

✔ Seven steps to improving your money mindset

✔ How to “build it before you sell it” (and how I made $50,000 off one Powerpoint presentation)

In the Masterclass, I talk about my Bold Darling mentoring program. Doors are open now until Thursday 23rd June. If you’re ready to grow your business in a way that supports YOU, find out how being a Bold Darling member will change both your life and your business at: bolddarling.com

This season is taking you behind the scenes – as well as taking you behind the curtains of my businesses, I’ll also be talking to dynamic entrepreneurs, and smart experts who have the secrets and tools for success. You can also expect more chats with my business besties, and my mentees.

As an entrepreneur, there are many hats to wear, many people to get (and keep!) onboard with your vision… and often competing priorities to navigate. You cannot afford to drop balls.

FACT: Being organised is a non-negotiable if you want to have a successful business.

The ability of your business to grow is dependent primarily on one thing: YOU. Each level of growth of your business will require you to upgrade your capacity and capability… and running around constantly in “shitshow mode” is NOT going to get you there.

In this week’s episode, I’m sharing the Masterclass I hosted last week. I step you through the three key life systems to unlock max time, mental bandwidth and energy for you to build the business and life of your dreams.

You will learn:

✔ The most critical hour of the day for you and your business

✔ How to live an intentional week

✔ The diary dates that should be on every entrepreneur’s weekly schedule

✔ The five reasons to outsource tasks

✔ How to overcome the guilt associated with outsourcing

✔ How to create your home processes manual (yep, I did this)

… basically, I’ll get you from shit show to rock show!

In the Masterclass, I talk about my Bold Darling mentoring program. Doors are open now until Thursday 23rd June. If you’re ready to grow your business in a way that supports YOU, find out how being a Bold Darling member will change both your life and your business at: bolddarling.com

o basically, a choose-your-own (or both) adventure this week.

In this episode, I interview Sarah Little, Tamara Scamporlino and Olivia White about their experiences of growing their businesses.

We cover systems, being paid their worth, unexpected curve balls, building their businesses authentically, the best strategies for navigating “the Blend” of business and family, and much, much more.

You’ll love this episode if you’re in the midst of growing your business right now, and I’m in awe at how smart and generous all three of my guests were in our conversation.

All three of them were founding members of my Bold Darling mentoring group when I first opened doors back in March… and guess what? Doors are open again now!

My first guest this season is Tim Duggan - one of the cleverest entrepreneurs and leaders I know, and now two-time author. His new book, Killer Thinking, has just been published and I LOVED it.

In the book, Tim dives deep into what a Killer Idea is… and (maybe more importantly) how we can have more of them!

In our conversation we cover: His adventures in life and biz since he was last on the show The exact ingredients of a killer idea What he sees as the greatest blocks people have when it comes to creativity How most of us have been approaching creativity all wrong... for a very long time! The difference between divergent vs convergent thinking The HIPPO problem and how to negate it How we can structure brainstorms better The idea of "plussing it" The leaky tap concept (this one is a gamechanger!) Maker vs Manager and the cues to get us in the creative zone His advice on setting the scene for creative success One tip to get out of a creative funk

I recorded this week’s episode from blissful Bali where I’m on a retreat/baby getaway/working adventure. I had so many questions about the trip (and a LOT of my community living vicariously through my Insta stories!) that I wanted to dive deeper into the reasons for this trip, what I’ve been up to on it, and my greatest insights while I’m here.

In this conversation, I share: The hamster-on-a-wheel feeling that had me craving this trip The intentions I set for this time How the Balinese people I’ve connected with are after a horrific 2.5 years The healers I’ve visited while here (TMI alert!) A peek into the workshops I’ve done My three biggest lessons on travelling with kids The specific hacks that eased travelling here with Wilder solo

This month I’m focusing on settling my new Bold Darling group in together, so I’m taking a few weeks off creating new episodes for the podcast.

But… I can still be in your ears!! Instead I’m sharing interviews that I’ve done on other friend’s podcasts.

This week’s conversation is with Alexx Stuart, for her show, The Low Tox Life Podcast. To find out more about Alexx, go to her website - lowtoxlife.com or follow her on Instagram - @lowtoxlife.

Alexx says:

Do you remember a time when you felt really ‘you’? In flow? Maybe a great sense of boundless energy? The sense that there was something really motivating to wake up for each day in work, love, life?

I invite Lorraine Murphy, author of 3 wonderful books in the past centred around productivity, and now with a new book Step Into You, to discuss this – we talk about alarm bells that things are not going well and you need to pay attention – LOVE Lorraine’s analogy on this, and also talk about some of the tools we can use to bring ourselves back to ourselves – not entirely easy with all the demands that come up in life, often with the busy-ness clouding our own filtering and awareness of when things might not be best for us!

Questions I asked Lorraine: How do we know we’re not “US” – ie signs we’ve drifted from ourselves or perhaps have never really connected in the first place for cultural/religious/be-good-in-society reasons? Can you share a time when you felt really disconnected from yourself? What were some pivotal moments/choices that helped you step into YOU again? Why is the gap between where women are and where we want to be ‘vast’ in so many cases, as you say in the early part of your book? I want to talk about the truth bombs you unleash upfront in the book. You then go on to help us all Step into ourselves in expert fashion, and I love that towards the end of the book you discuss strategies for our ‘ME’ to stick – can we talk about resilience fatigue? (and also alignment over balance after that).

But… I can still be in your ears!! Instead I’m sharing interviews that I’ve done on other friend’s podcasts.

First up is my conversation with Claire Obeid for her show, Woman Awake. To find out more about Claire, go to her website - claireobeid.com or follow her on Instagram - @claireobeid_.

Claire says:

In today's episode, I invite Lorraine Murphy back onto the podcast to talk about a central theme of her new book, Step Into You, which is energy management.

Needing to create her own 'soft place to land' to go on her own deep healing journey and get clear on what she wanted to create in her life, Lorraine's latest book is about that very journey and how she went about finding a more sustainable way to do business and life by really learning how to manage her energy.

We talk about: Lorraine's own perspective on what energy is and why learning to manage our energy over our time is important The importance of creating a bespoke energy management plan and giving ourselves permission to follow it Energy management filtered through both motherhood and a more feminine lens The impact of using major and minor energy boosts for both major and minor energy leaks The issues with trying to 'balance ' our lives What it really looks like to be in alignment and be intentional about how can support ourself best And what Lorraine came to understand about working with the mind and body and ourselves as unique energy beings, whilst we worked together at her Noosa retreat in 2021

This week’s conversation is with Michelle Broadbent, for her show, Your Business Boost. To find out more about Michelle, go to her website - michellebroadbent.com.au or follow her on Instagram - @michbroadbent.

Michelle says:

My guest today is my client, Lorraine Murphy – serial entrepreneur, best selling author, speaker and mentor.

We have worked together for more than 3 years now and she has been a big supporter of mine. She is someone who has given me so many of my “first” opportunities in my business – including being a podcast guest. Today I am turning the tables and interviewing her about her new book ‘Step Into You’.

The book – and this interview – couldn’t be more perfectly timed with a lot of us limping to the end of the year. If you are desperate to recharge, re-focus and stride into your best future, you are going to get SO much from my chat with Lorraine (and from her new book).

We cover purpose, energy management, masculine & feminine energy and Lorraine shares insights from her own life and those of the women in her world. She knows (and shows us) that it is possible to make epic, lasting changes – whatever your situation or life stage.

We also talk about how she managed to write her 4th book while caring for a newborn baby and she shares some great tips for aspiring writers.

And we share our mutual most-fave book of the moment – The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks.

Sitting in my mentoring seat, I pretty much get an “access all areas” pass with the women I work with.

I get the inside track on their businesses for sure, but also how they’re operating in the various other areas of their lives (health, energy management, life admin, the works). Believe me, it’s fascinating!

This week, I hosted a Masterclass called “Behind The Success Scenes” – and, as a special bonus, I’m sharing that Masterclass today on the show.

You’ll learn how: One pushed through decades of self-doubt to build her profile… and secured epic revenue as a result! Another unlearnt years of pushing herself too hard (and resulting serious health issues) to find a balance that works for her Another relinquished the need to be “on the tools” (as I call it!) to step back and work ON her business, rather than IN it (oh, and 5x her team in the process)

If you’re ready to take your business and life to the next level, and want to learn the strategies these brilliant women use, enjoy this episode.

PS: In the Masterclass I share more about my new mentoring program, Bold Darling. Doors are open until Thursday 31st March – get your application in via my website: lorrainemurphy.com.au.

Would you believe me if I told you that your biggest business challenge is actually YOU?

This May I’ll tick over a full decade of running my own businesses, and the biggest lesson I’ve learned is this: when I’m good, my business is good.

I’ve gotten to mentor hundreds of female entrepreneurs in the last five years, and I can tell you that overwhelm, flagging energy and a sense of being pulled in 50 directions at once are the most common challenges they face.

This week I presented a brand new Masterclass called “The Flow Framework” - sharing a new model I’ve been working through with my one-on-one mentees. It’s given them clarity, empowerment and FLOW.

And - as a special bonus episode - I’m sharing that Masterclass today on the show.

Prepare to wave goodbye to overwhelm, exhaustion and frenetic effort… and say hello to clarity, energy and focus!

Hooray!! FINALLY I can share with my wonderful listeners My New Thing - aka Bold Darling.

Bold Darling is a platform to support entrepreneurs who understand that business is about more than business.

I’ve seen so many of my mentees sacrifice themselves on the altar of their businesses. What I’ve designed is the exact content and structure to combat this problem. I could happily talk about Bold Darling all day long, however I invite you to go explore it yourself on my website: lorrainemurphy.com.au.

My co-mentor in Bold Darling is Michelle Broadbent, who I have worked with closely for four years now. For the first two of those years, she was my Business Manager and all-round right hand woman in my second business. And for the last two years, she has helped me to support my mentees by co-mentoring in a Mastermind program and speaking to my groups at business retreats.

Michelle is a Small Business Strategist who brings the perfect balance of smarts and serious TLC (I may still call her my “Blankie”!). She is The Guru of systems, recruiting what she calls unicorns, and effective boundaries.

In this conversation, we cover: The origins of Bold Darling My most recent “Blankie call” to her, and why I needed it How women don’t have a Nothing Box (like men do) and how that impacts us in our businesses The biggest challenges we see our clients experiencing in their businesses right now What we see as the others superpowers, and also the values we share The top 3 resources each of us share with our mentees One of the saddest examples we see of business owners getting in their own way The quote I have stuck on our fridge at home Our “no mean girls” policy The best investments each of us have made in our own businesses

To connect with Michelle, visit her website - michellebroadbent.com.au and her Instagram - @michbroadbent.

And remember, Bold Darling doors are open until Thursday 31st March!

Business can be a really, really lonely place - and that’s why I’m so grateful to have people who I can connect with who are also walking the entrepreneurial path. And I’m even more grateful to have women like Julie Masters, who are also mums, who are also focused on their own wellbeing, and who have a very similar sense of humour and values as me!

I thought it would be fun to record a chat with Jules that’s pretty much like the conversations we have privately - the insights we share with each other, and the aha moments we give each other.

In this (very wide ranging!) chat, we cover: Adjusting back to IRL events Our codependent households - or what I call “the village within the village” Our similar COVID experiences Progress for each of as we each work on Our New Things Her recent health retreat experience, and how I tried (!) to recreate one at home The dangers of falling out of love with our business offerings Why sometimes the only - and best - thing we can do is to stay curious

Next week, I get to reveal My New Thing to you - I cannot wait!

I’ve had this episode brewing for a while now! Building a rockstar culture is up there as one of the foremost priorities of any business owner or team leader… and not all of us have had that kind of culture modelled for us with our past employers.

In this episode, I share the six greatest nuggets that helped me build an award winning culture in my first business, and that I pass on my most to my one-on-one mentees - including my genius (IMO!) approach to keeping values alive in a team, my favourite ways I’ve surprised and delighted my teams and why we need to get the wrong people off the bus ASAP.

PS: In two episodes’ time I’ll be announcing My New Thing!!

This week’s episode is a bit different. Given events here in Australia and overseas, I didn’t feel you wanted more stuff to learn… So this week I’ve created an episode that will hopefully soothe your soul and not stretch your brain or emotions too much.

This week’s show is part-magazine style, part life update, part Q&A - a random episode basically! I want you to feel that you and I are having an intimate catch-up in your favourite cafe.

So come hang with me in while I talk about: Our recent family rona experience What I’m doing to navigate the negativity/fear of current events My recent cooking discoveries (and one absolute disaster) The books I’ve been reading for some gentle relief The TV shows I’ve been loving My advice to anyone recovering from exhaustion or sickness Why it’s essential that women especially prioritise their recovery The go-to essentials I love for breastfeeding My greatest loves in my make-up bag (someone asked ok!) What “resilience fatigue” is and what to do if you’re there right now

I hope you enjoy my random magazine episode this week - remember to look after yourself. You deserve it and we need you. x

Last year, I read a book that I know will game change my business. The book is Profit First by Mike Michalowicz, and in it, he steps through a super simple, super effective plan to ensure that readers actually realise profit from their businesses… by safeguarding themselves from their own worst habits (yes, I know them all as I’ve done them all!).

After the success of the book, Mike created Profit First Professionals - a certification program for finance professionals and business advisers. This week, I’m talking to Laura Elkaslassy, CEO of Profit First Professionals ANZ. Laura is a bona fide finance guru who leads multiple businesses - and has experienced the magic of Profit First for years in her own businesses. I’m in the early days of implementing the structure in my own business, and I couldn’t wait to share the ideas with you.

In our conversation we cover: An overview of what Profit First is - and why it can be so impactful A seriously inspiring case study of someone she’s seen implement it How Profit First has helped her in her own business The first step business owners can take towards introducing Profit First in their business Whether or not there's a "good time" to implement the methodology Whether or not start-ups should think about doing it from day 1 How to shift out of the paralysis that often comes from financial overwhelm (I know, I’ve been there myself) How the principles are just as powerful for personal finances as they are for business

I’m delighted to bring you this week’s episode, as Nicole Bayliss has been part of what I call my “spiritual support team” for over a decade. Nicole is a life path guide and soul coach, who has a background in counselling.

She works with modalities including forensic healing, tarot reading, reiki, soul truth healing, meditation… and more. I’ve had many sessions with Nicole, and also been part of her very special meditation nights.

I’m very excited that Nicole is going to be part of My New Thing that I’m launching next month!

She has just written a brilliant new book - Soulful and Successful Business - so it was the perfect time to bring her onto the show (her second time joining me).

In myself and Nicole’s chat, we cover: How business can be seen as a very "head-based" journey, and why it's so important to tune into our hearts and souls too The range of tools we can access in order to tune into higher guidance The heart chakra and why it’s so key for business success The one spiritual practice she would encourage listeners to explore in 2022 How she sees self-doubt manifesting for her clients, and why we actually need it in our businesses The power of an Evidence Journal (and how Lexi has started her own one) Why prayer can be so helpful to us - and not just relied in times of desperation! How we can distinguish between "soul whispers"/gut instinct telling us not to go ahead with something, and the fear that might be holding us back The three crystals every entrepreneur should have on their desk

In this solo episode, I take you behind the scenes of my own business plans for 2022. This year will be my biggest to date in this business, and I’m laying some critical foundations to support that growth. I cover my latest steps towards streamlining, the big changes I’m making to create a successful infrastructure, and a teeny tiny sneak peek at My Big Thing I’m launching next month...

This episode is brought to you by Nature Nate’s honey. My favourite way to use it is in my weekly batch of homemade chocolate.

Making the transition from cash-for-time to a fully scalable online business is a daunting prospect… BUT my guest this week is here to step you through exactly how she did it!

Dr. Kyla Smith is a Perth-based paediatric dietician who four years ago transitioned from being a purely in-person health provider to building two membership communities - Baby Meal Times and Toddler Meal Times.

In doing so, she has created a business model that does not rely on her time for its revenue and has grown her team to a mostly remote team of ten, and she’s ensured she personally has the flexibility she wanted for her young family.

Kyla is a brilliant case study in how to take expertise online, and - lucky me - she’s also a longtime mentee of mine!

In our action-packed chat, we cover: The initial “bricks and mortar” model for her business What the tipping point was for her to transitioning the business to an online model The very first steps she took towards making that a reality How she built brilliant “trust capital” with her community long before she had anything to sell to them The golden rules that grew her Instagram audience to 60,000+ Her experiences of imposter syndrome in the online world, and how she conquers it The upside to adding the online element to the business - how it's benefited her, her family and the business What her biggest learnings have been on the journey The two critical pieces of advice that she wants to pass on to other business owners aiming to do what she has done [Cos we have her!] Her #1 tip for baby weaning, and her biggest tip for fussy toddlers

You can find out more about Dr. Kyla on Instagram - @dr_kyla - and via her websites - babymealtimes.com.au and toddlermealtimes.com.au.

Selling their businesses is a dream of many entrepreneurs; whereas for some, they can’t even imagine a future without their business in it. This conversation is must-listen to for anyone building a business, as you honestly NEVER KNOW when that phone call might come from an interested buyer!

As my guest this week makes clear, even if we have zero plans of ever selling, we should still take some simple steps towards structuring our businesses in case we a) change our mind or b) get an offer we can’t refuse one day!

Michelle Kvello is the founder of Sydney-based Lantern Partners, a financial advisory company dedicated to helping high growth companies reach their goals, and she has personally held the hands of many a founder as they prepared to, and later sold, their business.

I love Michelle’s approach as she’s fully committed to being led by the numbers in a business, however she doesn’t ever lose sight of the fact that behind the numbers are real people with real dreams and worries. She also has a knack for making intimidating finance concepts easy to understand! She’s also a longtime mentee of mine, who I adore working with.

In our chat this week, Michelle and I discuss: Whether or not every business CAN be sold What she sees as the biggest blocks when a founder starts to look at selling their business How long it usually takes for a business sale to be completed As a result, how far out founders should be thinking about readying their company for sale How you go about having a business valued What a multiple is and how it works If selling your company is on your "one day" wishlist, what the three things you should be thinking about right now are What an earnout is, and how long a founder will usually stay on in a business post sale The emotional rollercoaster that selling a business can be, and how to navigate it

Tracy Harris founded Mums with Hustle six years ago, and today the business offers a podcast, courses, workshops, membership programs, and online communities.

I met her at a business event over four years ago, and was immediately struck by her positive energy - but also by how clear she was on who her business was there to serve: mums running their own businesses. Since then, she has built a seven-figure business while working 20 hours per week.

In myself and Tracy’s wide-ranging chat, we cover: What she was doing before starting Mums With Hustle How the idea for it dropped in, and what the first baby steps she took towards it were The moment she realised that the concept could be a successful business How she made her first hire before she made a dollar The importance of niching - and how she found hers An overview of her current business model - its revenue streams, communities and team structure What her biggest "fuck yes!" and "oh shit no!" moments have been in its growth The weekly structure she works to and her individual focuses for each day I (love how Tracy does this!) Her experience of navigating being a parent while also serving her community What keeps her motivated and inspired on her business journey The three books that have been most life- or business-changing for her The one piece of advice she would give to someone wanting to step into their business idea

I hope you enjoy our chat as much as we enjoyed having it. To find out more about Tracy and Mums With Hustle, visit the website - tracyharris.co or go to Instagram - @mumswithhustle.

Last year, I completed the 75 Hard Challenge - which is pretty much what the name suggests!

Each day, participants: Do two 45-minute workouts Stick to a diet Have no cheat meals or alcohol Drink 4 litres of water Read 10 pages of non-fiction Take a progress photo

This challenge taught me so much about my ability to stay on track with my intended goals and habits, and I got a LOT of questions from my community about the experience!

Business coach Sharon Cliffe joined me doing the challenge, and in this episode, Sharon and I compare notes on what the challenge taught us, including Why we each did the challenge What our biggest fears/block were going into it What helped us get through it The books we each read during the challenge What we learned about making goals happen as a result Why intentionality is so important We we need to forget about motivation What we'd each say to someone listening who's undertaking a big goal this year

Time for my annual wrap-up of all things personal from 2021! And what a year it was.. In this honest chat, I reflect on the highs and lows of this year including welcoming babies, retreats, lockdown, health, friendships, finances, health and outsourcing.

Welcome to my business highs and lows of 2021! In a year when I doubled down on streamlining, stepped back for three months of Baby Land and readied my fourth book for publication… let’s just say there’s a lot to fill you in on.

This episode is brought to your beautiful ears by Nature Nate’s honey.

This week’s conversation with Ilana Kosakiewicz could be the gamechanger you’ve been waiting for… Ilana is a kinesiologist, yoga teacher and meditation guide who specialises in helping her clients to optimise their energy, and she is passionate about teaching women how they can live their lives in a way that’s more aligned with their cycles. The upside? More energy, more flow… and less chance of burn-out.

I am constantly taken aback at the number of women in my community who have or are currently experiencing problems with their energy, immune systems and thyroids, and I really do believe that the expertise Ilana generously passes on today could prevent a lot of that discomfort and distress for women.

In our conversation, Ilana shares: Her own experience of burn-out, what she learned from it and her healing path out of it How that experience bumped her onto the path she’s on now The different modalities she works with, and how she brings them together Why working with our cycles can support us in our careers, and also our lives more broadly The fou distinct phases of a woman's cycle How to approach these seasons if you don’t have a cycle right now (due to menopause, pregnancy, etc) How to know if you’re NOT working with your cycle An overview of each phase and what work/food/exercise we should focus on in each of them How the Winter phase holds the key to unlocking our energy for our whole cycle The resources she recommends if you’d like to educate yourself more on this space

To connect with Ilana, visit her website at ilanak.com.au, find her Instagram at @ilanak.kinesiology or listen to her podcast, The Energy Shift.

The book we mention is WomanCode by Alyssa Vitti and the cycle tracking apps Ilana recommends are Flow and P Tracker.

I had our daughter Lexi while I was running my first business, which was an agency. So it was a delight to mentor my longtime mentee Hannah Statham through getting her content marketing agency, Media Mortar, ready for her to step out for four months to have her first baby.

Her goal was to step into her maternity leave and “not look back”... which she did!

In six months, Hannah onboarded a General Manager, prepared her clients and team for her to step out, and gave birth to little Penelope.

In this conversation, she breaks down the steps she took to make this a reality: The state of play of the business before she found out she was pregnant (hint: she was VERY “in the weeds”!) The VIP Day we spent together before her pregnancy was announced, and the key action points she had from it The hiring process for a GM, and how she chose the person she did Step-by-step to how she onboarded her GM (I loved this process!), including sales incentives Communicating her maternity leave to her team and clients How she stayed in touch with the team while she was on leave Her reentry to the business and what her role looks like now

You can find Media Mortar at mediamortar.com.au or on Instagram at @mediamortar, and Hannah is @hannahstatham.

This week I’m introducing you to my wonderful mentee, Liz Dawson. Liz is the owner of exercise physiology business Northside Allied Health and the founder of Kids Heart Pilates. She is one of my longtime mentees, and something we identified early in our mentoring journey together was the need for her to start delegating responsibilities to her team in the business… but also to build a team at home that she could delegate to as well.

Liz has run with her outsourcing mission like a pro and in this chat she shares: The background to her career The health scare that almost derailed her business The many demands on her time when we started working together The tool she used back then (and still uses) to get clear on what she could hand over What her personal tipping point was to getting intentional about outsourcing - both in her businesses and at home The very first steps she took towards making that a reality A day in her outsourced life now - what's outsourced and who's doing it The upside to the level of outsourcing she has in her life now - how it's benefited her, her family and the businesses How she deals with the guilt of outsourcing What the biggest learnings have been on the journey What words of advice she has for other women aiming to do what she has done

Earlier this year, I got to spend some time with Chantale Millard - CEO of Maggie Beer Holdings, which is the parent company of the Maggie Beer brand and three other premium brands. I was fascinated by the dynamic between her and such a household name of an entrepreneur… and the fact that her work revolves around food was an extra bonus for me! Chantale has also led the recent acquisition of Hampers And Gifts Australia.

Finding the “right” support in our businesses is a constant focus for most business owners, and quite a few also harbour ambitions to one day sell their companies - so I’m thrilled to be bringing you this conversation with Chantale.

In our chat, we cover: The background to her career before joining the Maggie Beer brand What the key responsibilities of her role are A "day in the life" at home and work for a leading CEO What the dynamic looks like between Chantale as the day-to-day lead of the business, and the entrepreneurial nature of Maggie Her “no surprises” policy (I loved this concept!) The fascinating process behind creating new food products within the business The "user guide" for entrepreneurs on setting themselves up for success when handing over the reins to a CEO/MD/GM What she looks for in businesses to acquire How to make your business easy to buy from a buyer's perspective, and what business owners should be thinking about NOW if that's their ultimate goal How she manages the many demands on her time and energy Her experiences with self doubt and how she tames it The books that have been most life- and business-changing for her Her words of advice for other execs aiming to reach the CEO seat in their own careers

This week’s episode opens with an update from me on overwhelm and my quest to create more spaciousness in my business and life while we’re in this season as a family. Overwhelm is a very real challenge for many of the women in my community, and - as you’d expect from me - I’ll always share the real story of what’s happening behind the scenes.

And then - hooray! Another mentee case file episode this week. Bridget Johns is a declutter coach who helps her clients declutter their homes, phones, calendars and minds via her business Be Simply Free. Bridget and I worked together to establish her nascent side hustle as a viable business that she could grow in order to step out of her public service career.

If you’ve got a side hustle you’ve been nurturing, this episode is a must listen for you!

In our chat, Bridget shares: A background of her career Where her side hustle was at prior to our first session together What the tipping point was to up the ante on establishing a viable side hustle The key question she asked herself to unlock the motivation to make the changes The first steps she took towards making those changes happen The factors she took into account when reducing and restructuring her government role What her business looks like now The biggest learnings she’s had on the journey The next horizon she’s working towards The advice she wants to pass on to other side hustlers aiming to do what she has done Her biggest declutter tip (it’s a good ‘un!)

This week’s guest is Alexx Stuart, author, podcaster and founder of Low Tox Life. We can fall into the trap of believing our purpose needs to be a purely altruistic exercise, however Alexx is a living example of a savvy entrepreneur who has built a wildly successful business, while also making a big difference in the world.

Alexx is an educator and change agent who founded Low Tox Life in 2010 after seeing the lack of transparency in our food system, personal care and cleaning products. Low Tox Life provides real support for real people wanting to make better choices for their health and our planet, and while it all started back in 2010 with a few recipes and articles it is now a blog, 6 E-Courses, a podcast, a thriving social community on Facebook and Instagram and two books. She also shares kickass recipes, and I may or may not have three containers of her gluten free brownies in our freezer.

In our chat, we cover: Her (very different!) life before starting Low Tox Life How the idea for the platform dropped in, and what the first baby steps she took towards it were When she realised that the concept could be a successful business The concept of trust capital, and why it’s a vital part of a sustainable online business Her approach to the split focus of running two distinct businesses The “money work” she’s done to facilitate her financial abundance How she takes the emotion out of “selling herself” Her genius “two shits rule” - and the penny drop moment she gave me with it How she has navigated a very challenging health issue while also serving her community What keeps her motivated and inspired on her business journey The three books that have been most life- or business-changing for her

Hooray! Another mentee case file episode this week.

Today I’m sharing a conversation with Alexis Sennitt. For 18 years, Alexis has nurtured a passion for interior design, however she chose the corporate path instead - becoming a senior marketer in the FMCG sector.

However her love of design kept calling, and we worked together earlier this year to design a strategy for her to transition onto a path to her purpose: to become an interior designer.

In this chat, we cover: Her “crossroads” experience and why she chose marketing over design after uni The breaking point last year in deciding she needed to leave corporate How we broke down her goal into an actionable plan What her biggest blocks to making the big move were How fear of failure was holding her back (and my reframe on failure!) The small initial steps she completed to gain momentum and confidence The build-up to handing in her notice… and how it went Communicating her change of direction to the people around her Embarking on her first job hunt in several years, and how digital networked helped her towards her path Her biggest learnings from the experience, and how she feels now she’s on her path of purpose What she would say to others who want to make a big change in their career

As I share in this week’s episode, “people” is one of the most challenging aspects of running a business… and hiring is a pivotal part of getting great people. In this episode, I share the hiring process I work with and also the three biggest pieces of hiring advice I’ve gotten.. and that I pass on to my mentees.

I cover: The step-by-step to my hiring process My approach to checking references (including the most helpful question to ask referees!) The “curve” model of deciding when to hire The upsides and drawbacks to hiring before, on, or after “the curve” How I use profiling when hiring The two profiling tools I lean on How holding onto under-performers is kryptonite for you and your business The “red flag test” I use to identify when a mentee has a under-performer in their team How I reframe letting someone go to ease the guilt and worry from taking action

Welcome to the first mentee case file episode of this entrepreneurship season! I’m so looking forward to bringing you “how I did it” stories from some of the women I have the extreme privilege and joy of mentoring.

Scaling up their businesses is one of the most common objectives entrepreneurs have, and Lucy’s story is packed with insights and lessons on how she’s done it - and continues to do it - for her business.

Lucy Beytagh is the founder of the specialist communications agency, The LKB Agency - however it wasn’t always an agency. She had been operating as a one woman consultancy for over 15 years before she reached out to me in early 2019. Over the last two years, she has successfully transitioned her business to a six-person team.

I ADORE working with this woman - she is so smart, humble, brilliantly efficient and a stellar communicator. In this episode she shares the step-by-step of how she did it - the aha moments, the challenges and the wins. I think you’ll learn a lot from her, including: What the turning point (or breaking point?!) was for her in changing the model The realisation that the business biz needed to devolve away from her and how she felt about that The very first steps she took towards an agency model - including a rebrand How she built the team out, which roles she started with and why Communicating to clients (especially those who had only ever had her) that new team members were joining, and how she moved work away from herself How she has maintained client relationships even though her client contact has reduced The difference an agency model has made - pros and cons for Lucy, and for the business The advice she would pass on to other business owners aiming to do what she’s done

To find out more about The LKB Agency and Calm Communication, visit: thelkbagency.com.au. Lucy is on Instagram as @lucy_thelkb_agency and you can find the business at @thelkb_agency.

Welcome to a brand new season of the show! Over this season, we’ll be diving into entrepreneurship - how to build bigger and better businesses for sure, but also how we can best support ourselves while doing so.

I’ll be sharing the best business advice I’ve received over the years, and the most impactful nuggets that I pass on. There’ll also be entrepreneurial success stories, and - very exciting! - I’ll be interviewing some of my mentees on how they’ve achieved specific goals in their businesses.

To kick off the season, I’m focusing on energy management plans - and why every woman needs one. I truly believe that an energy management plan is MORE important than any business plan… as without our energy, we’re getting nowhere fast in our businesses.

I share an excerpt of the energy management chapter of my new book, Step Into You, and walk you through the energy management plan I’ve designed for myself to enable me to be the person, parent, partner and entrepreneur I want to be.

The book will be hitting bookshelves in January, but - YAY - you can preorder your copy right now! By preordering, you’ll also get access to exclusive bonuses as well as the chance to win a money-can’t-buy 1-hour mentoring session with me.

I’m SO excited to share this once-off episode with you, as it features the birth story of our beautiful baby boy, Wilder. As I recorded this episode, he was four weeks old.

In it, I share: An overview of Lexi’s birth, to set the scene for round two! Why we wanted to have a homebirth Who was in our birth team The preparations we did for the birth Why I didn’t want to go as post-date as Lexi did, and what I did to prevent that My visualisation technique for the birth… and if it turned out like I visualised The pain experience this time versus how it was with Lexi How she responded to being at the birth My immediate first reaction on finding out we had a boy The post-birth period Whether or not I braved a placenta smoothie! What I would do differently if I had this birth again How my recovery has been The story behind the name Wilder A mini interview with Wade with his perspective on the birth

Some resources/people I mention in this episode: My beautiful birth playlist is public on Spotify - search for my name and it’s called “Welcome home little baby” Our midwife was Jo Hunter (@midwifejohunter on Instagram) and second midwife was Lucretia McCarthy (@birthinsight on Instagram). Lu also encapsulated my placenta My acupuncturist is Maggie Godin at Health Space in Rozelle Our family chiropractor is Jessica Mangala at Realign Health Clinic in Leichhardt (@realign.health) I see Alyssa at The Studio in Rozelle for physio (@thestudiorozelle) Our birth photographer was Philippa from The First Hello (@thefirsthello) Claire Obeid hosted my mother’s blessing (@claireobeid_) Books I love on pregnancy: Ina May’s Natural Guide To Childbirth, Jenny Blyth‘s Down To Earth Birth and Thomas Verny and John Kelly‘s The Secret Life Of The Unborn Child and ‘s First Forty Days Documentaries I loved: Birth Time (created by and featuring our midwife Jo) and The Business Of Being Born Essential oils I used during birth: frankincense and clary sage

This last episode of the season features my husband - and most regular guest! - Wade. He’s back after a long hiatus from guest duties to chat to me about the year we’ve had together so far in 2021. It’s featured huge disruption and challenges, most of which we haven’t spoken about until now.

We cover the COVID-impact on his business, the new direction he’s taking and the impact they’ve had on our relationship. We also share how we’re feeling as we head into Baby Land soon - the plan, the preparations and our expectations from this next chapter.

Big thanks to Nature Nate’s honey for partnering with me for this episode. We have our second freezer installed and I am so excited to fill it with delicious, nourishing meals and sweet treats to make life as easy as possible for after Baby’s arrival. I’m loving this honey - it’s 100% raw and unfiltered, is made by Australian bees and is available at Woolworths. I’ll be using it as my sweetener of choice for my freezer goodies!

The theme for this season is “connection” - and this theme will come to life in a different way each week of this season. Myself and my special guests will be diving into mindset, success, wellbeing and relationships as we journey into a different facet of "connection" in each episode.

This week I’m bringing you a conversation with my favourite healer in Bali, Jimmy Doyle. I’ve had quite a few sessions with Jimmy over the years, and he’s also the healer I choose to come and support retreat guests on my Bali retreats.

He has taught me a huge amount about connecting with myself and my body, and also broader wisdom about life. He’s also the person who first introduced me to the idea that all of our symptoms (physical and mental) are related to a belief or emotion we hold about ourselves.

In this episode, Jimmy and I discuss: The unique way he works with his clients, and why he prefers to describe himself as a “facilitator” rather than a “healer” How the symptoms/pain/physical issues we experience are connected to our emotions and/or beliefs His belief that many women are disconnected from their bodies, and why he thinks that is The impact that our connection with other people has on our own wellbeing The most common physical issues he sees Western women coming to him with (hint: hormones rank highly!) The simple practices that he recommends for us to stay connected with ourselves and protect our energy The pressure points we should stimulate to balance our thyroid function, and the points for overall hormonal balance The main negative programs behind hormonal imbalances, liver issues, breast problems and thrush/candida

I’ve been wanting to dive into the topic of sleep for ages on the show, and when Lisa Maltman popped up at one of my events, I found the perfect person to speak to!

I know from speaking to my community that FAR too many women are struggling with their sleep… and as we discuss in this week’s episode, the consequences of ongoing sleep deprivation are far-reaching. As I learned this week, a terrifying 40% of adults experience sleep deprivation!

Lisa Maltman is the founder and owner of The Sleep Connection and is passionate about improving lives through healthy sleep. She delivers wellness sleep programs to both corporate audiences and schools to address the growing concern regarding the impact

insufficient sleep is having on the wellbeing and productivity, and is also an invited speaker at key mental health and wellbeing conferences. You can find Lisa at: thesleepconnection.com.au.

In our chat, Lisa and I cover: How her own experience of sleep issues affected her life, and set her on the path she’s now on The most common three issues that people struggle with The two distinct groups of people who are sleep deprived: the “Can’t Sleeps” and the “Won’t Sleeps” The long-term impacts of ongoing/chronic sleep deprivation How much sleep we really need The three different stages of sleep How the stories we tell ourselves about sleep can have a detrimental effect on our ability to get adequate sleep The fascinating link between sleep and unwanted weight gain The three key “chronotypes” - how to tell which one you are, and how knowing that will dictate the sleep you need Her tops tips on effective napping (and her thoughts on the “nappucino” phenomenon!) Whether or not if it’s possible to catch up on sleep debt Why we can feel exhausted after drinking alcohol the night before, even if we’ve had enough sleep “Sleep thieves” and what the most challenging ones are Her advice for parents experiencing child-related sleep deprivation (and a genius reframe to reduce parental bickering over sleep!) Where to go for help if we’re having consistent issues with our sleep How sleep impacts our body's ability to make and regulate hormones

The theme for this season is “connection” - and this theme will come to life in a different way each week of this season. Myself and my special guests will be diving into mindset, success, wellbeing and relationships as we journey into a different facet of "connection" in each episode.

This week’s episode was sparked by a question from my community! I see connection as the foundation of my work - without honing this skill, I wouldn’t be able to create the results that I do for the women I work with. Our ability to authentically and efficiently connect is a core skill we can develop in order to achieve success in every area of our lives.

In this episode, I share the six golden rules that I work with to establish this connection. They’ll help you in both personal and professional relationships, and - as I share in this episode - at the core of them is our ability to self-lead.

I’m into the last leg of my Reconnection Tour - I’m bringing it home to Sydney on Thursday 13th May AND I’ve just announced a virtual stop on Saturday 15th May. All deets and tickets are on my website right here: lorrainemurphy.com.au/reconnection-tour.

I also mention DISC in Episode 47 of the show, and the DISC Behaviour Profiling Workshop I mention is here: lorrainemurphy.com.au/product/disc-workshop.

In this week’s short ‘n’ sweet episode, I give a peek behind the scenes of my Reconnection Tour, and also the five biggest themes that I’m seeing come through from the women attending my events.

In it, I cover exhaustion, sex, polarity with our partners (and my own challenging experience with that last week!) and the most concerning commonality from the women I’ve connected with. I wanted to share these points so that - if you’re experiencing any of these issues right now in your own life - that you know you’re not alone.

I also announce that I’ll be hosting a virtual tour date on Saturday 15th May - hooray! All the details in this episode.

A quick reminder that you can still book tickets for the following tour stops via my website: Thursday 29th April - BRISBANE Wednesday 5th May - ADELAIDE Thursday 6th May - MELBOURNE Thursday 13th May - SYDNEY

This week’s episode is a super fun - and random! - one. AJ on my team asks me Vogue’s “73 Questions” - aka a list of some silly, some super deep and some really thought provoking rapid-fire questions.

We cover Juicy Tubes, inspiration, koalas, Formula 1, my pantry meal superpower, style icons, what I’d make a documentary about and a tonne more. It was VERY odd to not be in the driving seat for this chat on my own show, but I actually learned a lot about myself from it… and had a lot of fun too!

This is definitely a different episode this week, and I’m hoping by the end that you’ll have some insights on how you would answer the questions and also that you feel even more connected with me.

If you’d like to connect in person, I would love to see you at my Reconnection Tour. Event dates are: Thursday 29th April - BRISBANE Wednesday 5th May - ADELAIDE Thursday 6th May - MELBOURNE Thursday 13th May - SYDNEY

Big thanks to Nature Nate’s honey for supporting this episode. I’m very fussy about the honey we buy and always go for the raw, organic stuff - which can be nigh-on impossible to track down on supermarket shelves! So I’m thrilled to be partnering with Nature Nate’s as it’s available in Woolworths, is 100% pure, raw and unfiltered, and is made exclusively by Australian bees. Over the next few months, I’ll be creating and sharing our favourite honey recipes - a tough gig. ;-)

I am extremely privileged with the number of women I get to connect with through my work, and the access that they give me to their innermost thoughts. I hear from women every day on their greatest wants, desires and wishes - through my one-on-one mentoring, my events, podcast feedback... and The LM Love Club.

The LM Love Club is my membership group; that has been running since March last year. It’s a source of wonderful connection, support, motivation and guidance for those in the group… and doors are open until Monday 19th April. You can find out more right here:

In this week’s episode, I share the five greatest wants that I see the women in my community having - and how I’ve experienced them in my own life. I would love for every woman to listen to this episode to realise that they are not alone in having these longings for their lives.

Given how much the masculine vs feminine energy topic has come up in my work - and especially on my recent Noosa retreat - I'm keen to explore how women have become disconnected with their divine feminine... and how they can reconnect with it.

Happily, I have the perfect person to dive into this area with: Claire Obeid. Claire and I first met through our PR career 12 years ago and she has since gone on to be a multi-faceted spiritual guru - she’s a life coach who also teaches yoga, meditation, breathwork, EFT (aka tapping), somatic therapy… and a lot more! I adore speaking to and working with Claire, and she has so much gold to share in this episode.

In our conversation, we share: What the "divine feminine" (and "divine masculine") actually means How to tell if we're disconnected from our divine feminine The challenges women experience when they're feeling disconnected from their divine feminine What Claire sees as the "tipping point" for women to address this disconnection within themselves What she would say to women who may feel unsafe being more in their feminine, or they may not feel it's appropriate for them (e.g: if they're in very masculine roles) The practices Claire recommends to help women connect back in with their divine feminine How some practices that we think are very feminine - eg: yoga - can actually be quite masculine (this was an eye-opener for me!) How women can retain their femininity in the face of the sometimes endless demands of parenting The role our romantic relationships play in helping us access that divine feminine (speaking to heterosexual relationships) The advice she would give to parents of girls, and helping to guide them on this journey

I’m so happy we get to bring you this conversation this week - thank you Claire for sharing so much of your magic with us. You can find Claire at claireobeid.com, on Facebook and on Instagram as @claireobeid_.

I’m so excited for this week’s episode, as this is a topic that I’ve pondered a LOT on over the years: how to make friends... as a grown-up.

Joining me is my most recent BFF, Stacey Clare. We became friends in 2019 and I honestly didn’t think I’d form such a close bond with someone new at this stage of my life. I was thrilled when she said yes to joining me for a chat to unpack how we became close friends, and a broader conversation about female friendships too.

I consider Stace to be a “gold standard friend” - she’s one of those incredible women who makes her friends feel so seen and cared for… so I selfishly wanted to learn her tips too!

Stace is a health coach, food expert and founder of staceyclare.com - where she teaches mums to prepare super-healthy, super-easy meals for their families. She’s also mum to three gorgeous kids.

In our chat, we cover: How the siblings we have could influence our needs when it comes to friendships The biggest challenges in making friends as a grown-up The step-by-step to how we met and became friends Why we think our friendship was forged so quickly Each of our individual fears around making new friends… and if our high school experiences have influenced them The importance of one-on-one time in forming adult friendships - especially if you’re a mother How our own insecurities and shyness can hold us back from connecting with awesome new women My hang-ups about Other School Mums! What happens when it’s time to let a friendship go from our lives Her brilliant tips on how she nurtures her female friendships (I took notes here!) Our advice to anyone wanting to make more friends as a grown-up

I hope you enjoy this conversation about what I believe is a critically important topic for women. Big thanks to Stace for being such a wonderful guest. You can find her and her incredible work at staceyclare.com (including a free ebook with all her knockout slowcooker recipes), on Facebook and on Instagram as @staceyclare_healthcoach.

Welcome to a brand spanking new season of The Lorraine Murphy Show! The theme for this season is “connection” - and you’ll see this theme to come to life in a different way each week of this season.

First up, I’m jumping into a topic that I find stresses many people out… a lot. Living an on-purpose/purposeful/purpose-aligned life is held up as the gold standard, and it’s incredibly easy to feel like you’re falling short if you’re not 100%, 24/7 “on purpose” in your life.

I’ve got some strong opinions when it comes to the area of purpose, which I share in this episode - including: How I see women stressing themselves out unnecessarily about their purpose What purpose is NOT How purpose is often confused with vision and passion My definition of purpose The biggest mic drop insight that I’ve shared recently when I talk about purpose, and how freeing it is when we can onboard it into our lives What the most destructive pitfall is for those trying to connect their purpose How we can physically and spiritually prepare ourselves to dive into exploring our purpose, and why this is so important The five questions I ask my mentees to answer to help them get closer to their purpose

Resources from this episode:

Simon Sinek’s TED talk on “Knowing Your Why” is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4ZoJKF_VuA&vl=en

The five self-exploration questions I recommend are: My vision: if my life could look any way and I COULD NOT FAIL, what would I do? My passions: What are the day-to-day moments of bliss that I experience in my life? Purpose: What gets me excited/furious/happy? Purpose: When was a time that I felt I had a strong purpose? And why was that? Purpose: Who are three purposeful people I know, and why am I drawn to them?

And I would LOVE for you to save the date to attend my Reconnection Tour… I’ll be visiting six cities over April/May for an illuminating and very fun evening event. This definitely one to bring some girlfriends to!

Dates are:

Thursday 22nd April - CANBERRA

Wednesday 28th April - GOLD COAST

Thursday 29th April - BRISBANE

Wednesday 5th May - ADELAIDE

Thursday 6th May - MELBOURNE

Thursday 13th May - SYDNEY

This season is the Step Into You Season – it’s allllll about helping you step into the person you want to be.

All of us – at one point or another – have periods of feeling a bit flat, disconnected from ourselves and burnt-out. My intention with this season is to help you move from a “low-res” version of yourself to the full-blown, glorious Technicolor version of you. Each week, I’ll be exploring a different life area to help you upgrade your life.

In this final episode of the season, I’m taking you behind the scenes of my first Step Into You Retreat in Noosa. After three COVID-cancelled retreats in 2020, you can imagine how excited I was to finally get to host one last week!

Many of you have asked about what happened at the retreat, and lived vicariously through my Insta Stories… so I thought this would be a fun – and informative – episode to wrap up with. Perhaps you’re weighing up going on a retreat (or creating your own!), or are seeking some inspo on new ways to fill your tank.

This week I share: A snapshot of the group who attended Our daily program The spiritual practices we explored The four workshops I ran, and how they interconnected with the spiritual side of the retreat The menu (key detail!!) The biggest themes I saw with the group

At the end of the retreat debrief, I also answer some of your questions on this season.

Each week, I’ll be exploring a different life area to help you upgrade your life.

This week I’m talking about one of my FAVOURITE things; books!!

I’ve learned a tonne from different sources on how I can learn more about myself, step into my potential more, and create micro life upgrades where I can. I’m talking events, mentors, coaches, trainings…

… however the source of most of my learning has been from books. I’m an avid reader and a lot of my mentoring approach is influenced by the books I’ve read.

In this episode, I guide you through the nine books that have helped me gain the greatest insight into myself - that have provided learning, comfort and wisdom. This list is pretty much required reading in my LM Love Club membership group!

I hope you enjoy my book round-up, and the stories behind why I chose each of them.

For ease of book shopping for you, here’s the list of titles I mention: Untamed - Glennon Doyle You Can Heal Your Life - Louise Hay The Miracle Morning - Hal Elrod Fair Play - Eve Rodsky What I Know For Sure - Oprah Beyond Mars And Venus - John Gray Unlimited Power - Tony Robbins The Power Of Less - Leo Babauta Quiet - Susan Cain

And as I mention in this episode, I’m closing doors to new one-on-one mentees from March until September (to create space for me to enjoy Baby Land).

If mentoring with me is on your To Do List, then I suggest you check out my mentoring page and get in touch as soon as you can: https://lorrainemurphy.com.au/work-with-me/mentoring/

My Step Into You Program is closing soon! Sometimes we need something to snap ourselves out of our rut, to shake off the dust, to raise our vibration to one of focus, abundance and - most of all - possibility.

This is EXACTLY why I created my Step Into You program: to move you from a faded, tired, low-res version of yourself to your full Technicolour dazzling glory.

Over six weeks, I’ve broken down the very best bits of my one-on-one mentoring to create a six-week program that delivers the goods… and then some. Find out more here; https://lorrainemurphy.com.au/step-into-you-program/. Doors close on Monday 15th February.

Onto my guest this week…

My husband Wade and I began working with relationship therapist Dr. Robert Maciver in mid-2020. After our first Zoom session with him, we were both stunned at how much progress we had made in connecting together more, and understanding each other better.

We have both learned so much from Robert, and I talked about our work with him a little in my How I Stepped Into My Sexuality episode recently. So I was thrilled when he agreed to be interviewed for the show.

In our conversation, Robert shares: The different modalities of relationship therapy that he works with How our childhoods influence our patterns later on in life in romantic relationships How to know if we need to see a relationship therapist… and how to find a good one! His advice if one of you wants couples’ therapy but the other doesn’t The top 3 issues that the couples who come to see him are experiencing The vital importance of eye contact in a romantic relationship How men and women's brains are wired differently - this changed EVERYTHING for me! How - for a woman in a relationship - her benchmark for success in her life is how happy her relationship is

I know that Robert’s insights will be a gamechanger for many of you, and I’m so grateful to him for being on the show. You can find Robert at www.lovingrelationships.com.au.

Resources we mention in this episode:

Harville Hendrix’s book is called Getting The Love You Want.

The two relationship modalities that Robert mentions are Pact and Imago therapy.

This season is the Step Into You Season – it’s allllll about helping you step into the person you want to be.

All of us – at one point or another – have periods of feeling a bit flat, disconnected from ourselves and burnt-out. My intention with this season is to help you move from a “low-res” version of yourself to the full-blown, glorious Technicolor version of you. Each week, I’ll be exploring a different life area to help you upgrade your life.

This week, I’m covering an area that I get a lot of questions about from my community – the different practitioners/guides/experts that I’ve tapped into over the years to help me step into the person I wish to be. I’ve learned that working with a particular modality has helped me get out of my own way, release heavy and limiting beliefs, and keep my energy high.

In this episode, I cover: A “whistlestop tour” of the different therapies and practitioners I’ve engaged with over the years Why I’ve worked consistently with a kinesiologist for almost a decade What a mentor is, and the primary reason people come to me for mentoring The difference between a mentor and a coach The energy work I’ve experienced over the years How I’ve tapped into psychics for support, healing and guidance My top tips on finding a practitioner to support you How to manage your own expectations of going into any kind of support – and how to define what success from it looks like for you Why I advise against persisting with a certain practitioner/modality in some situations

I hope this episode gives you a grounding on the different help you can engage as you strike out to create the life you dream of living.

Some resources/practitioners I mention in this episode: Jacqui Prydie – jacquiprydie.com Nicole Bayliss – nicolebayliss.com.au Ronan Powell – powellbusinessleadership.com.au Jimmy Doyle – doylesurfing@gmail.com Rachel Crethar – rachelcrethar.com Helen Jacobs – helenjacobs.co

My mentoring information is here: lorrainemurphy.com.au/work-with-me/mentoring

I’ll be closing my doors to new mentees from early March until post-Baby Land, so if you’d like to work with me I suggest you reach out as soon as you can.

This season is the Step Into You Season - it’s allllll about helping you step into the person you want to be.

All of us - at one point or another - have periods of feeling a bit flat, disconnected from ourselves and burnt-out. My intention with this season is to help you move from a “low-res” version of yourself to the full-blown, glorious Technicolor version of you. Each week, I’ll be exploring a different life area to help you upgrade your life.

I’m super excited for this episode, as I’m sharing the recording of a Masterclass on a topic that I get asked about CONSTANTLY by my community… most especially after my podcast episodes on sexuality over the last couple of weeks.

You don’t need me to tell you that we live in a go-go-go world - and that constant “busy-ness” takes its toll on everyone… but especially women.

In order to navigate the to do lists, deadlines and multiple (and constant!) priorities of our lives, we’ve learned to take a “hustle” approach to it all - essentially we end up being in our masculine energy a LOT of the time.

I am the queen of productivity and organisation (seriously - I wrote a bestselling book on it!). However I’ve learned the hard way that pushing/controlling/hustling too much is a one-way street to overwhelm, exhaustion, burnout, ongoing health issues and low libido.

In recent years, I’ve gradually educated myself on the difference between masculine (go-go-go) and feminine energy (softness and ease).

And holy crap, has it been a revelation!

I realised that the vast majority of the stress in my life came from being too much in my masculine energy - and set about righting that balance.

Since then, I’ve created more, achieved more, found hormonal balance, made more money, softened into my marriage, rediscovered my sexuality, been more present with our daughter and found more flow in my life.

Until now, I’ve only shared my system with my one-on-one mentees… however for the first time I’m bringing it to my broader community!

In this one-off Masterclass, I’ll step you through my system for tuning into your feminine energy, a system that you can adapt and blend into your day-to-day life - no matter what age or life stage you’re at.

After our hour together, you’ll know: The key differences between masculine and feminine energy How to identify which energy you’re in at any point in time Why being in your feminine energy can create more abundance, inner peace and harmony in your relationships The ten techniques I teach my mentees to transition easily into their feminine energy How to talk to your partner about masculine vs. feminine energy

If the Masterclass was a wake-up call for you to get a lot more into your feminine energy more, then my Step Into You Program is the place for you to be. Doors close at 9pm this Wednesday 10th February.

Sometimes we need something to snap ourselves out of our rut, to shake off the dust, to raise our vibration to one of focus, abundance and - most of all - possibility.

I am so ready to take you on this six-week journey with me and the supportive, uplifting community that’s already building for this outing of my favourite program. You can sign up here: https://lorrainemurphy.com.au/step-into-you-program/.

This week on the show we’re diving into money - and how to upgrade our money stories. My “Build A Money Mindset” episode in July last year is one of my top 5 episodes evers on the show, and I wanted to revisit the topic as part of this Step Into You season.

Prepare to hear me fan girl BIG-TIME during this week’s episode, as I’m interviewing my own money mentor. I first started to follow Denise Duffield-Thomas in early 2020, and her work has helped me rebuild my own money story after a traumatic financial shock in 2018. She is the bestselling author of three books, a wildly successful entrepreneur, and a mum of three kids. Her book Chillpreneur is one of the best business books I’ve read.

In our conversation, we cover: The difference between focusing on your money mindset, versus the “how to” of building wealth The concept of "money blocks" - what they are and where they come from The three most common money blocks she sees women experiencing, and how can they can overcome How we can help our kids to shape positive money stories The one thing she recommends you do if you’re in that horrible, low vibe, overwhelmed situation when it comes to your finances (and big love if that’s you, ‘cos I’ve been there and it’s nasty) Why she thinks money is so much more of a taboo for women than men, and what we can do to start to change that... without freaking ourselves out, and the people around us! Her economy class>first class philosophy, and how it can help you lead a wealthier life The future cost that not outsourcing home tasks creates, and how she manages her home outsourcing Her thoughts on the myth that money and kids are mutually exclusive - i.e: that women can't have families and be wealthy Her belief that we shouldn't need to sacrifice ourselves on the altar of hard work/sacrifice/burn-out in order to realise our financial goals, and how to turn that limiting belief around Her favourite affirmations to help improve our money stories

I know you will love this conversation with Denise! You can find her at www.denisedt.com and on Instagram at @denisedt.

Now about this week’s episode…

Basically, last week’s episode on how I stepped into my sexuality caught fire!

In just four days, it rocketed to be my No.1 most downloaded episode since the show began 18 months ago. I have received hundreds of DMs, text messages and emails about it. I am feeling elated, proud and deeply touched at the level of sharing that’s been coming my way since the episode went live.

I’ve never done a follow-up episode before, however given the incredible response on this topic (and that 97% of my audience asked me to), I wanted to linger on the topic for one more week.

This week I’m sharing the four most common themes of the feedback I received from listeners on the episode - my intention here is to keep the conversation going and share broadly what the common sentiments I’m hearing are.

Then I’m answering the questions that have been coming my way, including: Which of the items on my “Make Lorraine Sexy Again” list were the most effective Whether or not hypnosis made a real difference for me How to have honest conversations with our partners about sex, and get over the fear that the outcome will be negative What I learned about experiencing different kinds of orgasms Whether supplements can support libido How to make yourself feel sexy when time or money are not in abundant supply How I found the right professionals to support me on this adventure Scheduling intimate time and if I think it helps

I’m thrilled to be able to dive into this topic again this week and hope you find some more nuggets of gold in this episode!

This week’s episode has been bubbling in my mind for a few months now, however I didn’t know if I would have the guts to record it…

I’m talking about sex - and how I healed a longrunning disconnection with my sexuality last year. This is a conversation I’ve started having with friends, and it’s a conversation that I believe we need to be having a lot more as women. So I’m taking the lead by starting the conversation with you through this episode.

I’m so grateful to my husband Wade for being so supportive of me sharing my/our story, and for joining me towards the end of the episode to share the journey from his perspective.

In this definitely PG rated episode, I cover: The painful issue in our marriage relating to the area of sex The shame that I carried around for FAR too long The breakthrough moment for me in this area, and the growth experience that followed The two modalities that helped me rediscover my sexuality How one podcast episode completely shifted my mindset on my issue… and I mean completely! My Make Lorraine Sexy Again list (I can’t believe I’ve shared this!) How re-engaging with sex has transformed my life, and my relationship with Wade The biggest learnings I had as a result of this journey of discovery Wade’s perspective on the changes we’ve experienced together

I share a lot of different resources in this episode:

Ok - onto this week’s episode! In my last episode, I shared the news that we’re expecting our second baby. It most certainly has NOT been a smooth ride, and growing our family has been one of the areas that has pushed me most in terms of physical, emotional and spiritual growth.

This week I’m sharing the behind-the-scenes story of this pregnancy, including: The back story to growing our family… and the waiting and heartbreak it’s involved The two biggest life areas we needed to sort out before this baby could happen (one of which is a BIG share for me!) Finding out we were pregnant, and the immediate rollercoaster of emotions that brought The long two months of waiting to be clear of Trimester 1 The symptoms - and weight gain! - I’ve experienced so far How we told Lexi she was going to be a big sister, and her reaction Our Plan A for our baby’s birth The biggest lessons this pregnancy has brought me already

Thank you for all of the love and support that’s come our way already with our special news - I cherish this community so very much.

By popular request, I’m bringing back the two episode formats I created at the end of 2019.

Talking about myself for an hour for each of these episodes feels highly self-indulgent, however I’m hoping you enjoy hearing these (very) honest accounts of my year, and also hopefully pick up some nuggets that will help you in 2021 and beyond...

In this episode, I share my personal highs and lows of 2020. Like many of you in 2020, this was a year of uncertainty, adaption and recalibration - and it was also an immense year of personal growth for me. Oh and there’s a little surprise in this one too...

For Season 8 of the podcast, I'm focusing on one of my greatest passions: business!

I've had my own business since 2012 and entrepreneurship is a pursuit I devote a tonne of time, energy and focus to - whether it's growing my own business, or mentoring others in theirs. In this season, I'm taking you behind the scenes in my business - as well as interviewing business owners I respect enormously.

I’m pretty sad that this season has come to an end this week - I have LOVED creating these episodes for you! For the season finale, I’m debriefing on the weird AF business year that was 2020. And to do that, I’m bringing back one of my most popular guests - Michelle Broadbent.

Michelle is a small business strategist who worked very closely with me in the first two years of this, my second business. She’s a guru when it comes to all thing business planning and implementation, and she shares some big insights in this episode.

In this lively chat, we cover: How the 2020 business year was for Michelle’s business The devastation each of us supported our clients through this year… and the surprising trend we’ve seen in those same clients this year! How our business relationship changed - in a big way - this year How she overcame her blocks around building her personal brand in 2020, and how I’ve seen that transformation in her The general vibe that we’re each feeling this month (December) in the business world The signs of recovery that she’s seeing with her clients What each of us see as the growing pains small businesses experience as they scale up The negative loop that keeps female business owners from hiring to scale The toxic pattern we have both observed a LOT this year, and the reason it’s happened And - exciting!!! - a sneak peek at the accelerator collaboration we’re bringing your way next year…

I've had my own business since 2012 and entrepreneurship is a pursuit I devote a tonne of time, energy and focus to - whether it's growing my own business, or mentoring others in theirs. In this season, I'm taking you behind the scenes in my business - as well as interviewing business owners I respect enormously.

Effective business planning is one of the earliest lessons I had when I started my first business eight years ago, and making the time to create a solid annual plan, and devoting time each quarter to designing my quarterly plan, has been something I’ve been religious about over those years.

After a LOT of “yes pleases” on my Instagram this week, I recorded this episode: a step-by-step guide to how I do my own business planning. It was a super fun one to do as I recorded it in my hotel room while still in the zone of my own planning getaway in Bondi!

I share: Why business planning is so important, and the pitfalls it keeps me out of How to set the scene for a kickass planning session Why I believe we need both a “feminine” and “masculine” approach to planning The realisation I had at the beach in Bondi that became the launch pad (and blueprint) for my entire planning day Why - and how! - our businesses should serve our overall lives… and not the other way around The four horizons of planning and how they layer onto each other What to do when you don’t know where to start with setting financial targets The trick my kinesiologist Jacqui taught me to always stay open to more financial abundance My Business Pyramid model, and why I believe every business needs one A sneak peek at my own Business Pyramid How to translate our grand plans into daily actions The hack I use to kickstart my planning, and how I’m putting it into action this week

The resources I mention in this episode: You can access the Five Year Vision and Quarterly Plan templates on the Resources page of my website: https://lorrainemurphy.com.au/resources/ My kinesiologist is Jacqui Prydie: https://jacquiprydie.com/ The sprays I mention are from Resonate Essences: resonateessences.com The two Verne Harnish books I mention are Mastering The Rockefeller Habits and Scaling Up

This week’s episode features a businesswoman I have tremendous respect for, and whose brand I adore. After leaving school at 15, Naomi Whitfield went on to found organic spa brand iKOU.

With her husband Paul’s assistance, the business has grown at a phenomenal rate - starting as a wholesale business, opening bricks and mortar stores, a spa, securing global distributors and establishing powerful ecommerce success. Naomi also published her first book, Energise Your Life.

In our conversation, Naomi shares: How suffering from eczema for 19 years planted the seed for her future business The secrets behind how she built such a renowned brand - and why one of our greatest roles as entrepreneurs is to police our own brands Her and Paul’s first trade show experience… and why they had to pack peanut butter sandwiches! The step-by-step (and serendipitous) process to opening their first bricks and mortar store The three decisions that most influenced the success of the business The insane growth of the ecommerce side of iKOU - and how they have achieved that How she leverages risk mitigation as a planning strategy How she and Paul navigate working so closely together The impact that winning two Telstra Awards had on the business How a brush with death in 2015 fundamentally changed her approach to life, and business Helping team members to “grow into their roles” and how she has approached that The Artist, The Manager-Leader and The Entrepreneur - and how understanding the difference between each led her to the most key hire she has made in her business Why she believes the more you do, the braver you get

I am so grateful to Naomi for her generosity, and the beautiful energy she brings to the business world. To find out more about iKOU, visit ikou.com.au and follow the brand on Instagram at @ikouinspire.

In this season, I'll be taking you behind the scenes in my business - as well as interviewing business owners I respect enormously.

This week, I’m diving into a question I get asked a LOT: how I have built and run a remote support team. In my first business, I built a “traditional” team of full-time employees who attended the office with me every day. However we also had support from an overseas VA from 2013, and I hired remote PAs as well.

In my current business, my team is fully remote. I’ve learned a huge amount about the dos (and don’ts) of building a team like this and have also supported dozens of mentees to build theirs too.

In this episode I share: The five golden rules of building a support team Why hiring for the person you need right now is not a good idea The most common mistakes I see business owners making with remote team members The communication structure myself and my team work to The mindset block you need to get over to have a truly effective remote team The four different levels of remote support that you can have in your business - and what each level should deliver to you What hourly rate you can expect to pay at each of these four levels My top tips on finding a great support person Why my goal in my business is to simply “be Lorraine” as much as possible!

In this season, I’ll be taking you behind the scenes in my business – as well as interviewing business owners I respect enormously.

In this week’s episode, I’m thrilled to share a chat with one of my entrepreneurial buddies. This woman is the epitome of a business visionary – she saw an opportunity and started an industry, a whole 18 years ago! Food delivery is one of the fastest growing (and most competitive) industries.

Bianca Monley founded Eat Fit Food at the age of 22, and ran the business until she sold it in 2018. And she did years of running the business with three kids under 3… gulp.

A year on from selling the business, we had a very honest and very far-ranging conversation about the highs and lows of her business journey, including: Her experience of being an entrepreneur before it was “a thing”… and starting a health company long before it was cool to wear activewear outside the gym! How she started an industry 18 years ago How the costs of scaling meant she didn’t make any money for ten years Ensuring the values of her business permeated right through the culture – from team members to customers How reinvention was the key to Eat Fit Food staying relevant for 18 years, in what became an incredibly competitive industry Overcoming her paralysing fear of leading a team The “51% boss/49% friend” rule Her motto of “nail before you scale”, and how she lived that lesson in her business The tech headaches that cost the business $600k The two A-list celebrities that changed the game for the business The single scariest time she has experienced as an entrepreneur The grief that came with selling her first business

Thank you so much to Bianca for her incredible wisdom and candour. You can connect with Bianca on her website – https://www.biancamonley.com/ or on Instagram: @biancamonley.

In this season, I'll be taking you behind the scenes in my business - as well as interviewing business owners I respect enormously.

I’m very excited to share this week’s episode, as in it I share the biggest lessons I’ve had when it comes to THE most important function of any business… Sales!

Sales are the lifeblood of any business - there is no business problem that making more money won’t make go away. But it’s also the area that holds the most fear for most entrepreneurs.

When I started my first business in 2012, I had zero sales experience - so had to put myself on a rapid learning curve if I was to make it a success. Thankfully, the learning and practising paid off and the business ended up turning over multi-millions of dollars a year.

Sales is one of the areas I coach my mentees most on, and in this episode I share: Why you must educate yourself on how to sell The book that totally changed the game for me when it came to revenue generation Why educating your customers is critical… and when to know not to bother The Hunter, The Farmer and The Hunter/Farmer (this is something I always teach my mentees!) How a blend of flexibility and persistence resulted in $100k of new revenue for me The biggest mistake I see entrepreneurs making when it comes to sales The simply weekly ritual that can boost your revenue - with minimal effort from you Why reviewing your pricing can be better than finding new customers

This week’s episode features an interview with someone I’ve admired for quite a while in business. Revie Jane is an entrepreneur, speaker and writer, who has a couple of thriving businesses under her belt now. She is also an advocate for mental health, and has spoken openly about her mental health challenges.

In our chat, we cover: The early days of her fitness career, and how a simple observation led her to the purpose that still drives her today How she started her personal brand, and the intentional steps she took to plant the seeds for the mega-profile she has today The curve ball that ended her first business (at 36 weeks’ pregnant!), and what it taught her The realities of overwhelming demand in a business, and how she’s navigating it right now Her issues with self-doubt and the simple practices she uses to overcome it every day Why we both believe it’s important for entrepreneurs (and everyone!!) to discuss self-doubt, no matter what stage of the journey we’re in The two practices that have been gamechangers for her in blending a rapidly growing business with a young family How her experience of anxiety and PTSD have shaped her approach to business

This week is the Q&A episode - hooray!

Listeners came through with the goods with some brilliant questions, and I loved the opportunity to pass on my hard-earned lessons to you this week.

In this episode I share: The #1 area I’d be focusing on if I was starting a side hustle How to make maximum use of your maternity leave if you’re starting a business during it How to set a sustainable pace for growing your side hustle or business (and why I think balance is unrealistic) Starting a business with no team and no money - and what I’d be doing if I was in that position My top tips for hiring a VA for the first time Whether I think growing an email list or social media following is more important in the early days Who to talk to when starting a business, and in what order (e.g: lawyer and accountant) How I decide what programs/books/events to create next My golden rules for establishing if an idea or business is viable The tool I’ve used for years to decide how I need to start or grow a team

For Season 8 of the podcast, I'm focusing on one of my greatest passions: business!

I've had my own business since 2012 and entrepreneurship is a pursuit I devote a tonne of time, energy and focus to - whether it's growing my own business, or mentoring others in theirs. In this season, I'll be taking you behind the scenes in my business - as well as interviewing business owners I respect enormously.

I am thrilled to be bringing you this interview this week, as it’s with one of the people I’ve respected and admired, but also been friends with, for quite a few years of my own entrepreneurial journey.

Tim Duggan is a co-founder of Junkee Media, a digital media company that has evolved over the last 15 years to incorporate a number of dynamic brands. Ooh! Media acquired 85% of Junkee in 2016, for $11.1 million. Tim is also the author of Cult Status - his first book that shares his inside track on how to build a business that people adore.

On the day Tim and I spoke, it was his first Monday after finishing at Junkee the previous week - and a public holiday to boot!

In our chat, we cover: The simple email that started his first business (and how we can all learn from what he did) The finance disaster that had him and his team talking to administrators… and how they saved the business His smart AF strategy for staying ahead of the curve, so that it seemed like his business “came from the future” The critical question he and his leadership team asked every 12 months of his time at Junkee to help them disrupt their own business How to give team members autonomy, but still stay in control His crazy experience of taking himself to a deserted island, armed with just a notebook, pen and medical reference book - and what the experience taught him How he managed to write Cult Status while also running Junkee The simple reframe that helped him keep moving forward with the book, even when creative flow felt in short supply Why he’s amazed that any businesses get sold His advice for anyone thinking about selling their business The three areas that great entrepreneurs should NOT be spending their time on in their businesses Why leaving his ego at the door has been behind many of his most successful business moves

I loved this conversation with Tim - he’s so honest and grounded, and also generous with sharing his fuck-ups as well as his wins.

You can find Tim and buy Cult Status on his website (cultstatus.com) and Instagram (@tim_duggan).

Check out my Instagram (@lorraineremarks) this week for details on how to win one of two signed copies of Tim’s book!

And the books we mention in the episode are: The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod Do The Work by Steven Pressfield The Hard Thing About Hard Things by Ben Horowitz

I've had my own business since 2012 and entrepreneurship is a pursuit I devote a tonne of time, energy and focus to - whether it's growing my own business, or mentoring others in theirs. In this season, I'll be taking you behind the scenes in my business - as well as interviewing business owners I respect enormously.

For this week’s episode, I’m focusing on the area that many of my mentees seek my guidance on: how they can build their profile.

My background is in PR, however - as I share in this episode - it’s a VERY different experience talking about yourself instead of a client’s product or service! As a result, I’ve found that some of the biggest lessons in this area have come from my own mindset blocks.

My intent with this episode is to share with you the most powerful levers I’ve used to build my profile, as well as easing some of the fear and uncertainty that is part and parcel of putting yourself out there.

In it, I share: Why awards were such a pivotal part of me starting to build a profile My experience as an awards judge, and what I look for My top tip to winning awards (this one always gets a giggle!) Why having an opinion can help you grow your profile The No.1 hack I have for gauging what content to focus on next How I got over my (horrible) fear of public speaking The weird and wonderful tricks I use to help me speak with confidence The Snowball Concept - and why it’s so important on our mission to build our profiles Why I’d rather have 100 followers than 100,000 Some examples of thoughtful ways to nurture your community Why if you’re ready, you’re probably too late

I’m SUPER keen to hear what resonated for you in this episode - let me know via Instagram or email.

For Season 8 of the podcast, I'm focusing on one of my greatest passions: business!

I've had my own business since 2012 and entrepreneurship is a pursuit I devote a tonne of time, energy and focus to - whether it's growing my own business, or mentoring others in theirs. In this season, I'll be taking you behind the scenes in my business - as well as interviewing business owners I respect enormously.

In this episode, I share the first interview with leading entrepreneurs...

Nicole Eckels is an entrepreneurial veteran. She is the co-founder of the now household-name-brand Glasshouse Fragrances, which she started 15 years ago. She is also a firecracker of energy and I LOVED interviewing her. It became very clear to me while talking to her that Nicole has not even gotten started yet...

In our conversation, Nicole shares: How the brand came from geographical arbitrage Her experience of creating a category in Australia How she secured an investor for her start-up - and needed some creative forecasting to do so! How she undertook a full rebrand this year, and in doing so doubled the number of products in the range The business BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal) she’s working towards Why she has deliberately contained the brand to Australia until now How she grew revenue 50% year on year for five years (seriously, wow) The difference between “bleeding edge” and “cutting edge” - and how you don’t want to be bleeding edge (like I was in my first business!) How the brand has managed to have such incredible longevity in what is now a saturated market Why she’ll seek out mentors for the rest of her life The scariest part of entrepreneurship for her How she navigated landing in Australia as a single mother and starting her business Her genius (and no BS!) tip to know who to hire next How the solution to problems is often to just “get in your helicopter” After 15 years of a successful business partnership, what her golden rule is for partners

I so hope you enjoy this conversation.

For Season 8 of the podcast, I'm focusing on one of my greatest passions: business!

I've had my own business since 2012 and entrepreneurship is a pursuit I devote a tonne of time, energy and focus to - whether it's growing my own business, or mentoring others in theirs. In this season, I'll be taking you behind the scenes in my business - as well as interviewing business owners I respect enormously.

In the first episode of this season, I take you behind the scenes of the launch of my Get Remarkably Organised Program. I LOVE hearing about other people’s launches, and myself and the team learned a tonne from this launch - so I wanted to pay it forward and share our lessons with my listeners.

I set out to have the biggest launch I’ve done to date with this program… which it was.

However we also had a myriad of tech issues with it, so as well as being the biggest, it was also the most stressful launch we’ve done!

I’ve shared very openly the highs and lows of the launch, as well as the exact numbers around targets, revenue, expenses… and what we’ll do differently next time we launch.

In the episode, I cover: Why this was such a key launch for me The exact team members who were involved in the launch The step-by-step strategy we worked to The derailment caused by multiple tech issues Our target for the launch… and whether or not we hit it The lowest point of the launch, and how it was almost the undoing of me The precise amount I spent on social media advertising The breakdown of payment plan vs. upfront payments And shitloads more!

MEGA props to my team: AJ, Danelle, Jaclyn, Stacey, Jayne, Jackie, Jess and Greg for being total rockstars for this launch.

And biggest thanks to everyone who invested their precious time, money and focus in joining the program with me.

I hope you find my lessons useful for your own business or projects; it’s been a privilege to be able to pass them on to you.

I know from chatting to my community that the overwhelm is real right now, so helping you to get organised is my BIG focus for the next couple of months, including for this season of the show!

Last week’s episode was supposed to be the season finale, however as I moved the last day for registrations for the program a little later, I had time to squeeze in one last episode of the GSD season. Surprise!!

I’m bringing back the person who is officially my most popular podcast guest to date… my husband Wade. We had a very honest and fun conversation this week, talking all things organisation. I LOVE how open and insightful he is in these interviews! We also talked more broadly too, based on requests from my community.

In our chat, we talk about: What it’s REALLY like to live with me and my organisation mission How our approaches to organisation are similar.. and also very different How we’ve managed with him working from home a lot more this year The area of our relationship that we’re most organised in right now and the area that needs work What his business actually does How the pandemic has affected his business, and what he and his team are doing to keep it going Whether he feels I over-share with my community If he’s planning on writing a book

We really enjoyed having this chat together, and I hope you enjoy it too.

I know from chatting to my community that the overwhelm is real right now, so helping you to get organised is my BIG focus for the next couple of months, including for this season of the show!

In the last episode of this GSD season, I am thrilled to bring you not one but TWO experts - the same experts that will be bringing their guru-ness to my Get Remarkably Organised Program (the last day for registrations is next Tuesday 8th September, so this is officially the last podcast call for you to sign up).

My first expert interview is with the marvellous Rachel Crethar - a clinical hypnotherapist who will be teaching my group all about how to build new habits.

In our chat, she shares: The most common challenges her clients come to her with How to navigate changing our behaviours - and how fear of change is totally normal How repetition is the key to rewiring our brains Celebrating wins and how they can accelerate change

To connect with Rachel, visit her website: rachelcrethar.com.

My second expert is declutter coach and life organiser Bridget Johns, who will be helping my program group to shift the “Stuff” in their lives.

In our conversation, she shares: Her inside track on storage hacks Her genius strategy for dealing with laundry overwhelm How to shift yourself out of clutter overwhelm Staying on track with decluttering How to organise our homes in a sustainable way

You can find Bridget at besimplyfree.com.au.

I’m sure you’ll agree that I’ve struck gold with these two gurus. If you’d like to dive deeper with them, then my Get Remarkably Organised Program is kicking off next week.

Find out more about the program here: lorrainemurphy.com.au/get-remarkably-organised/

Dozens of women have already taken that critical first step by signing up. I’ve done all the thinking for you and will gently guide you through a week-by-week process to help you move from reactive to proactive, from chaos to calm.

After this episode there’ll be a two-week break on the podcast - I’ll be back on 18th September with a fresh new season to share with you. I haven’t decided on the theme yet, so all requests are very welcome...

In this special bonus episode, I’m sharing the recording of the Bonus Time Masterclass I hosted last week. In it, I share the five strategies that I use myself and have taught to thousands of people to help them unlock more time in their weeks.

You’ll learn: The No.1 tip I give to overwhelmed people Why boundaries = more time, and easy ways to create more in your life How decisions are the enemy of productivity What a positive feedback loop is – and how to build one of your own But most importantly – how to GET BACK 5 HOURS A WEEK

These sessions were also the official launch party of my new Get Remarkably Organised program, which I talk about in the Masterclass.

If the overwhelm is getting you down, then this is the program for you. Over eight weeks, I’ll hand-hold you through a step-by-step process to getting back on top of life.

This is the last of three one-on-one mentoring sessions I recorded with members of my LM Love Club.

In each of these episodes, you get to listen in as I work through an organisational block my mentee has and pick up nuggets that you can apply in your life too.

This week’s session is with Caitlin Casey from Melbourne, a freelance graphic designer who is working on launching her first podcast and has an idea for a new business.

Caitlin was in lockdown when we recorded this session, and was struggling with finding focus for her work while also navigating a lot of uncertainty around childcare and working around her husband’s work hours.

Her organisational block is feeling like she’s constantly in reactive mode, and not able to get ahead on her to do list.

She is jumping from project to project, procrastinating on the tasks that don’t excite her and feeling like she’s getting nowhere fast on anything.

In our session, we talk about: Why it’s critical that we balance uncertainty by intentionally creating certainty in our lives How knowing the tasks that light us up can help us leverage our own productivity Why batching is the key to maintaining multiple focuses Understanding our personal chronotype and how to make it work for us Why out of sight/out of mind is the only way to go while trying to work with a toddler in the house! The power of getting clear with our partners on what we need in order to focus Martyr Syndrome and how it holds many women back from GSD

This is the second of three one-on-one mentoring sessions I recorded with members of my LM Love Club.

In each of these episodes, you get to listen in as I work through an organisational block my mentee has and pick up nuggets that you can apply in your life too.

This week’s session is with Michelle Gardner from Sydney.

Michelle is a Marketing Manager for a healthcare start-up, a role she has just started and is adjusting to the new pace of start-up land.

She also has a passion for… wait for it… circus skills! This passion requires her to train 4-5 days per week.

And, to add to her list of priorities, she also loves creative writing and is trying to find time to work on her short story.

Michelle’s organisational block is finding the time to devote to each of these priorities, as well as see her friends and tend to the general adulting required to live.

She feels her attention is split between her different projects, and often feels guilty when she’s focusing on one and not the other. She also tends to get distracted by social commitments and struggles to protect the time she previously committed to her hobbies when invites come her way.

In our session, we talk about: How acknowledging that we can do it all, but not at the same time, can be a helpful time management tool Why structure and scheduling is a critical ingredient to creative projects The reason that being active out in the world serves our creative projects How setting weekly benchmarks for social time can ease FOMO with our friends

I also talk in this episode about my free Masterclasses on Tuesday 25th August: Bonus Time: Five Habits To Get You Back AT LEAST Five Hours A Week.

You can register right here: lorrainemurphy.com.au/masterclass.

No drama if you can’t make the live sessions, everyone who registers will get the recording and the Bonus Time Playbook.

I’m super excited to bring you this episode, as it’s the first of three one-on-one mentoring sessions I recorded with members of my LM Love Club.

In each of these episodes, you get to listen in as I work through an organisational block my mentee has and pick up nuggets that you can apply in your life too.

This week’s session is with Melbourne-based career coach, Sarah Felice.

Sarah Felice is the Founder and Principal Consultant of Sarah Felice Career Coaching. She is an accomplished career coach with over twelve years of experience in career coaching and outplacement. Her core belief is that she ‘sees the best in people and helps them to see the best in themselves’.

Sarah’s organisational block is finding a balance between work and home life, while in the midst of Melbourne’s lockdown.

She’s struggling with being able to switch off from work, feeling overwhelmed when she looks at her calendar and dealing with the house being less than perfect while she’s working at home.

In our session, we talk about: Why individual battery time is so important to recharge ourselves How he can find more time for her creative projects Dealing with different standards from our loved ones when it comes to tidiness at home How effective energy management is the key to sustaining our energy throughout the week Coping strategies for introverts who need to spend a lot of time on Zoom… and who have their families at home full-time right now!

I know from chatting to my community that the overwhelm is real right now, so helping you to get organised is my BIG focus for the next couple of months, including for this season of the show!

I recently asked my community what their biggest blocks were when it came to getting organised, and I got hundreds of responses from them.

One thing that was patently clear from the responses was that a major block to getting organised was lack of motivation to get started.

In this episode, I share seven simple strategies that I use myself to get motivated, and that I teach my mentees and online program participants.

Think of it as a toolkit for you to draw on when you’re feeling demotivated!

I know from chatting to my community that the overwhelm is real right now, and every time I ask what content I should do more of, it always comes back to one thing: organisation…

So that’s my big focus for the next couple of months, including for this season of the show!

Anyone who’s been with me for a while – or has read one of my books – will know what GSD stands for. HOWEVER if you’re not 100% sure, it’s Get Sh*t Done.

I’m switching things up by answering your organisational questions at the outset of this season… And I’m SO glad I did as it means I can plan the whole season around the biggest blocks, challenges and priorities you listeners have in your lives!

In this pretty action-packed episode, I answer these questions from my community: What was the impetus for change for you (i.e: when did you get your shit together, organisationally?) What has made the biggest difference for you to make COVID times productive? Do you get up early? Do we have to get up early to fit exercise in? How do you stay so organised? I can get organised but then sticking with it is hard! Do you still hunt new organisational tricks for business and home or are you satisfied? How much time per day do you allocate to self improvement? How do you structure it? Besides your book Get Remarkably Organised, what are the top books/resources you recommend to help with organisation? How do you not get bored with the weekly routine? How do you do Miracle Mornings if you’re not a morning person? Does Lexi have lots of toys and clothes, and how do you organise them?

I LOVED recording this episode - thank you to everyone who asked a question!

This season of the show is all about LM Life Lessons: the greatest lessons I’ve learned (and continue to learn) and the lessons I share most with my mentees, event attendees and online program participants.

I’m wrapping up the season with the life lesson that’s had probably THE biggest impact on my productivity across my entire life, however most especially in my work.

When I was writing my second book Get Remarkably Organised, I realised that - at its very essence - being organised comes down to how well we look after our Future Selves.

In this episode, I share: The idea of our Future Self - and why it’s such a powerful one (and - fun! - I read an excerpt from the book for this part) One business-related and one non business-related example of how I neglected my Future Self in the past The hacks I’m using to make sure I get my exercise time in My absolute non-negotiables that need to happen to look after my Future Self each week A menu of ideas for you to look after your Future Self - from annually right through to each day

This season of the show is all about LM Life Lessons: the greatest lessons I’ve learned (and continue to learn) and the lessons I share most with my mentees, event attendees and online program participants.

This LM Life Lesson is one I’ve learned most recently, and it’s one I feel is super important to share given the economic time we’re living in right now.

Taking control of our mindset around money is one of the most empowering things we can do, especially as women.

I speak very openly this week (this was a tough one to record!) about the humbling financial experience I’ve had over the last two years, and how I’ve created a major turnaround for myself when it comes to bringing financial prosperity into my life recently.

In this episode, I share: The idea of a “money story” - and what mine is How much my first business cost to start How I was wiped out financially in early 2018 The comeback I’ve created in the last few months The two ways we can be pushed to a breakthrough What positive forward action is, and why it’s critical when we’re afraid Two things that are scaring the sh*t out of me right now as I push beyond my money blocks What a scarcity complex is, and the different ways it can show up in our lives Why being happy for others’ financial success can help our own How our generosity can extend beyond financial generosity The morning practices that have helped to reset my money story

I close this episode by requesting that if one of these ideas helps you (or you’ve got your own practises that are boosting your prosperity!), please pass them on to other women. By encouraging each other, being an example to each other, and celebrating in each others’ successes, we can all raise our prosperity higher together.

This season of the show is all about LM Life Lessons: the greatest lessons I’ve learned (and continue to learn) and the lessons I share most with my mentees, event attendees and online program participants.

Tapping into the guidance and care of trusted mentors over the years has provided me with many shortcuts, averted disasters and graced me with much emotional support.

However, mentors don’t just drop into our laps!

In this episode, I explain why getting a mentor has been so helpful to me, and pass on the tips and insights that have enabled me to get access to truly brilliant people… and ensure it’s a mutually rewarding experience for both mentor and mentee.

In this episode I share: What a mentor actually is The difference between a coach and a mentor Why mentors don’t necessarily need to know you exist (yes, really!) Why you should never, EVER ask someone to be your mentor How to interact with a mentor to maintain and grow your relationship with them What’s in mentoring for the mentor (in the instance of unpaid mentoring) Why we should aim to have more than one mentor The importance of peer-to-peer mentoring, and the reason it works so well

This season of the show is all about LM Life Lessons: the greatest lessons I’ve learned (and continue to learn) and the lessons I share most with my mentees, event attendees and online program participants.

Trying - as much as possible - to be my own best coach has helped me stretch beyond my comfort zone on many occasions, and also helped me navigate tough challenges… so it definitely needed an episode in this season!

I’ve noticed with the mentees, workshop attendees and program participants that I work with how much of a self-imposed block negative self talk creates. And the worst thing about negative self talk is that it’s insidious: we can be as cruel, hurtful and obnoxious to ourselves in our own minds… and no-one might ever guess.

Figuring out how to spot our own self talk patterns and give them a serious upgrade is one of the most valuable life skills we can learn - and pass on to others.

In this episode, I share: How we can become more aware of our self talk The lens I teach mentees to apply to their self talk to see if it’s negative The physical impact words can have on our bodies, and on others (based on the work of Japanese scientist and author Dr Masaru Emoto) How we can re-write the script in our heads How to enlist the help of others in upgrading your self talk

I also mention in this episode my first Step Into You Retreat, which is happening 15th-18th October in Noosa Hinterland.

If four days and three nights of being totally taken care of appeals to you, then you’ll LOVE this. I’m bringing together all the best elements of retreats I’ve experienced (hint: yoga, food, rest, workshops), and sharing them with a group of women on our own 44-acre of magical Nature.

This season of the show is all about LM Life Lessons: the greatest lessons I’ve learned (and continue to learn) and the lessons I share most with my mentees, event attendees and online program participants.

Realising the power that a gratitude practice (or several practices) has been transformational for me in my life and in my businesses. When used intentionally, gratitude can unlock abundance, develop relationships and help us keep our mindsets positive.

In this episode, I share: Why gratitude is so powerful How we can leverage gratitude to remove fear from our lives The gratitude practice I’ve maintained for years - and the reason why it’s so important that it’s done last thing at night The latent power of thank you cards that most people totally miss out on The best day to send a thank you card How a thank you card saved my first business in 2013 The gratitude practice I teach my mentees to get themselves out of a funk

This season of the show is all about LM Life Lessons: the greatest lessons I’ve learned (and continue to learn) and the lessons I share most with my mentees, event attendees and online program participants.

I believe that everyone has their own unique set of superpowers, and one of mine is most definitely the ability to begin and develop relationships quite quickly.

I fully credit this superpower with the fact that I am very intentional about gaining the trust of others.

In this episode, I share: How trust is the fundamental requirement for any successful relationship How learning to gain trust has aided me in my career, when starting my first business and in forming my ability to sell The five self-taught principles I hold in my own life when it comes to building others’ trust in me The concept of “micro-accountability” and how you can leverage it My approach of “under-promise and over-deliver” and how we can utilise it The leader I’ve worked with who had the greatest ability I’ve ever seen to gain the trust of others

I cannot overestimate the importance of self-knowledge. As I explain in this week’s episode, it underpins everything we do, experience and create in our lives.

In this episode, I share: Why self-knowledge is so critical to our life experience How self-knowledge is a practice, not a final outcome The quote I lean on for support in my self-awareness endeavours The three greatest tools I have discovered to help me build my self-knowledge The profiling techniques that I’ve used extensively in my work, but also for my personal relationships A 101 on DISC behaviour profiling and how it has helped my relationships

This bonus episode is a little different, as it’s a recording of a live Masterclass I hosted last week.

Diving into my own ability to create has been totally transformational to me, and has taken me places and sent opportunities my way that I would never have had if I didn’t back myself to create.

In the last five years, I’ve published three books, started my second business, created this here podcast that’s about to hit 50,000 downloads in just 10 months and designed ten different online programs and products.

These creations have not come easily. At most turns, I’ve had to overcome one or multiple creative blocks - and the five most common of these blocks are the subject of this week’s LM Life Lesson.

During this Masterclass I share: Why I believe lack of time is not a creative block, but an excuse What a creative flow state is, and how to get there How fear gets in the way of most creative projects being born (seriously, this breaks my heart) My own experiences with self-doubt and how learning about “resistance” helps me move through them The definition of confidence that changed my mindset Perfectionism and how we can release our creativity from our iron-clad grip What to do when you don’t know where to start with a creative project Why I believe original ideas do not exist, and why waiting for an original idea is a fool’s game What to focus on instead of originality

This season of the show is all about LM Life Lessons: the greatest lessons I’ve learned (and continue to learn) and the lessons I share most with my mentees, event attendees and online program participants.

My special guest this week is Dr. Kristy Goodwin - an author, speaker AND guest trainer on my upcoming Create Academy program.

Creating some proactive strategies for how I interact with technology and social media has been a critical part of my growth over the years - and my ability to create and iterate as much as I do… and I’m learning that it needs to be a constantly-evolving practice.

I’m excited to tap into Kristy’s expertise on this topic, as I see her as the leading thoughtleader on digital wellbeing and she ALWAYS teaches me something when I speak to her!

In our chat, we cover: What she sees as our Digital Dilemma (aka the love/hate relationship may of us have with tech) What “infobesity” is and what impact is has on our lives, mental health and productivity Why you shouldn’t send sensitive emails at night-time How she believes attention management is the critical skill we all need to working on Simple changes we can make to the set-up of our phones to minimise unfocused time on them How creating more friction with our tech is a key step to maintaining our own boundaries The link between tech and our own creativity A peek at what she’ll be sharing with Create Academy students

You can find Kristy at drkristygoodwin.com, on Instagram as @drkristy and on Facebook>

Welcome to Season 6 of The Lorraine Murphy Show!

Based on listener feedback, I’ve decided that this season is going to be all about LM Life Lessons: the greatest lessons I’ve learned (and continue to learn) and the lessons I share most with my mentees, event attendees and online program participants.

This week, we’re jumping straight into the first of ten LM Life Lessons.

My special guest is psychic, author and soul coach Helen Jacobs - who is making her second appearance on the show!

Learning how to tune into guidance has been one of the greatest lessons I’ve learned, and it’s a journey that continues today.

Helen is one of my spiritual dream team and I’ve leaned on her for guidance in both my business and personal life for years now. She is also a guest trainer on my new program Create Academy - a six-week program to help you live a more creative life.

In our chat, we cover: The difference between our higher guidance and our inner guidance (this was new to me!) How everyone can access this guidance in their lives, even if spirituality is a new path for them Why we both want to ban the word “woo-woo”! The three most simple and effective ways to tune into our higher guidance The three tools she recommends to tap into our inner guidance How to know the difference between guidance and fear Why intuition and creativity are so tightly enmeshed A peek at what she’ll be sharing with Create Academy students

This season on the show is all about Chicken Soup Conversations - D&Ms with my “anchors”, those who have seen me through some big chapters in my life and whom I’ve built a rich tapestry of shared experience with.

My intent is to welcome you into our conversation each week as we share memories, funny stories and life lessons together… and no doubt give you a much more “rounded” perspective on who I am!

This is the last Chicken Soup Conversation, and it’s with who I call my “soulie” - my soul sister Richenda Vermeulen. Richenda and I both started social media agencies within a month of each other way back in 2012, and we grew very close during that experience.

Her business Ntegrity is a digital marketing agency that has won a tonne of awards and helps businesses, organisations and NFPs alike to “help good grow”.

She has been a total rock for me - not just in business, but in the realm of relationships too. We’ve supported each other through really tough times, and also celebrated together - we’ve even been up against each other for the same business awards over the years!

I am 100% convinced this woman is some kind of earth angel, and she has lit up my life since I first met her at a business event eight years ago.

In this chat we speak about: Our first meeting and our first impressions of each other - hers was a total surprise to me! Our "mirrored lives" of getting married and starting a business in the same year, and becoming mothers Her unique leadership approach and how she has made it an extension of who she is as a person How she and her husband Kyle maintain such an incredible "growth mindset" individually, but also together Their four miscarriages and how they navigated that pain in their family (one story she shared made me cry in our interview) How Iso Life is going for her in Melbourne Why we think our relationship works The greatest thing we’ve taught each other

To connect with Richenda and her business Ntegrity, go to ntegrity.com.au, you can find Richenda on Instagram at @richendav. She and her team are live on Instagram every day Monday to Friday fielding audience questions with their incredible expertise.

I’m at the drawing board now planning the next season of the show and I would LOVE to get your input. I’ve created this super easy (and quick!) survey and would be super appreciative if you could give me your two cents worth AND be in the running to win a spot on my brand new program that’s launching this month.

This week’s Chicken Soup Conversation is with my sister Jenny Murphy. She’s 3.5 years younger than me, however our dynamic is more like she’s the sensible older sister.

She overcame dyslexia as a young child and went on to study across three countries and become a (pretty awesome IMO) teacher. She’s married to her brilliant husband Blaine and is a mum to toddler Fiadh… and at the time of recording this she was 25 weeks’ pregnant with their second baby.

This is my very first time interviewing a family member, so I was in equal parts nervous and excited about this episode!

In our chat, we talk about: The childhood we experienced together Our description of each other as kids (hers is bang-on for me!) Her experience of dyslexia, how she overcame it to become a teacher herself, and the lessons she took from it Our favourite memories from our three big trips together - to Malaysia, Russia and a Texan cattle ranch Why food is such an important (ok, vital) part of both our lives The reason both of us value productivity so highly How my approach to birth influenced hers, and how she surprised me with a brand new niece How (in a way) we are as alike as we are different The greatest things we’ve taught each other What life in Iso Ireland is like

I’m so honoured I get to share my amazing sister with you this week, and I hope you enjoy our chat.

This season on the show is all about Chicken Soup Conversations - D&Ms with my “anchors”, those who have seen me through some big chapters in my life and whom I’ve built a rich tapestry of shared experience with.

My intent is to welcome you into our conversation each week as we share memories, funny stories and life lessons together… and no doubt give you a much more “rounded” perspective on who I am!

This week’s Chicken Soup Conversation is with one of my closest closest friends, Julie Masters - a two-time entrepreneur, speaker, podcaster and mama of two.

Julie just radiates certainty, confidence and love - the kind of person you want around you in a crisis! I have a deep respect for how she places the boundaries she requires in place, the deep thinker that she is, and the ridiculously powerful wisdom she possesses.

In this chat we speak about: How we came to meet and have a mutual business girl crush on each other How her plan to “sit on a mountain surrounded by llamas in Peru” morphed into her co-founding her first business back in Sydney The almost-freakish way our lives have mirrored each other Her painful experience of adrenal fatigue and how she found her way through it What a “first phone call friend” is The fertility challenges she and her husband experienced and the IVF journey they’ve been on Her belief that, sometimes, the very best thing we can do is “let it burn” The greatest thing we each value about our friendship The nugget of wisdom that helps her keep perspective on having meltdowns in front of her kids How she’s coping with Iso Life

To connect with Julie, go to juliemasters.com, you can find her on Instagram at @jules.masters and find her podcast - “Inside Influence” on your podcast app of choice.

This week’s Chicken Soup Conversation is with my husband, Wade Tink.

I’m pretty sure my audience loves him more than me, so I’m excited to have him back on the show again. He is most definitely the biggest anchor in my life too and we had a really special chat reflecting on our life together to date.

In our chat, we talk about: His early life and the traumatic event at 13 that changed the course of his life The pretty fateful - and funny - story of how we met, and our immediate first impressions of each other How Wade has a different attitude to his exes than any boyfriend I’d had before His story of how he managed to move from army officer to investment banker (hint: it’s pretty much how he pursued me!) The (unintentional) way I messed up his first attempt to propose The behind the scenes details of how we pulled off our surprise wedding His perspective on my long labour (3.5 days - you’re welcome Lexi) and her birth How Wade supported me through losing a baby last year, and what I think is one of the most important ways a partner can help in those times The greatest thing we’ve taught each other… and the two things we want to learn together

I really loved this chat with him, and hope you enjoy it too.

In exciting business news for me, The LM Love Club is well and truly off. This is our chance to take our podcast romance to the next level, and connect in a deeper way with a beautiful tribe of like-minded women.

Given how many times I’ve been having this conversation, I thought it would be helpful for my podcast listeners if I got my ten key tips on the air as a podcast episode… so here it is. In this bonus instalment of The Lorraine Murphy Show, I cover: My Ten Commandments to Getting Shit Done remotely What I believe the real potential clusterf*ck is with this rapid adjustment to WFH The other pandemic on the loose - Death By Zoom - and what we can do to prevent it Why separation from work and home is critical when working remotely The concept of anchors and how we can leverage them to power up for work… and power down at the end of our work day The simple - but incredibly powerful - scheduling tool I teach to teams, and why it’s more important than ever right now How boundaries are vital, and how we can create them without putting others’ noses out of joint Why a weekly communication rhythm is essential to keep teams connected… and not waste each other’s time with unnecessary meetings!

Welcome to Season 5 of The Lorraine Murphy Show! This season is very different to my previous seasons. Rather than helping you get more organised, improve your mindset or smash your goals, instead I want to create a safe, soothing, connecting and escapist corner of the world for you. For the next six weeks, I’ll be chatting to those around me who are my anchors - those who have seen me through some big chapters in my life, and whom I’ve built a rich tapestry of shared experience with. My intent is to welcome you into our conversation each week as we share memories, funny stories and life lessons together… and no doubt give you a much more “rounded” perspective on who I am! My first Chicken Soup Conversation is with my friend of 20 years, Sarah Chegwidden. Sarah is one of the most grounded, calm and loyal people I know - and she has a wicked sense of humour too. I have leaned on her in some of the darkest days in my life, and I’ve had some of my biggest laughs with her too. In this chat we speak about: The debaucherous summer we had in Chicago with seven of us in one bedroom (from a time when I drank a LOT more than I do now!) The best thing she’s ever done for me as a friend (NB: it involves the “c word”) How our friendship lasted through years of being long distance Our experience of working together in my first business, and how we protected our friendship from the potential pitfalls that brought The “arms race” when we were both trying to get pregnant at the same time while working together The difficult time when she decided to leave my business Why we think our friendship works How each of us is coping with Iso Life You can follow Sarah on Instagram - @sarahchegs. In this episode, I also unveil The LM Love Club, which - after a little sneak peek last month - is off and running. This is our chance to dive deeper together each month...

This is the last episode of this week’s season, and in it I’m answering all of your questions on mindset. As you can imagine with the global health situation we’re in, a lot of the questions were related to that. In this Q&A, I cover: How to get motivated to be productive at home during this lockdown period The single biggest mindset tip for workers who have recently had to move to working from home (I couldn’t limit myself to just one!!) Tips on keeping positive when dealing with a manager who is coping negatively The best ways to control our mindsets around emotional eating My biggest piece of advice for changing a bad habit What to do when someone close to us doesn’t have the growth mindset that we do How I manage all the info I read and want to refer back to at another stage How I stop my mind bouncing from project to project AND - a sneak preview of what’s to come for Season 5, which starts next week! Expect some straight-talking in this episode, but also a gentle approach to going about life right now.

This week’s episode is a vitally important one. I’ve talked a lot about my own mindset challenges over this season, and something that is instrumental for me to be the upbeat, focused and positive person I know I can be is the support of my psychologist. For this season on mindset, I wanted to have a D&M chat with an expert psychologist who really understands the demographic of the audience of this show. Dr. Libby Quinn, aka The Women’s Psychologist, who has a psychology practice devoted specifically to women. In myself and Libby’s chat, cover: Why women can need therapy more than men The three steps she guides her clients on to help boost their mindset The reason that a journalling practice works and how it can help counteract stress The early warning signs that we should be getting psychological help… soon How to know if we are - or are not - coping ok with a curve ball or major life event The surprisingly common problem of adjustment disorder, and how therapy can help The concept of matresence (every mother needs to know this!) The importance of the female village, and how a lack of it contributes to mental health issues Loneliness and how it impacts our mindset Her (and my) advice on how to find a great psychologist You can find Libby via her website or on Instagram: @thewomenspsychologist.

Welcome to this week’s episode of The Lorraine Murphy Show. I’m especially grateful for you listening this week as I know this is a very challenging time for most of us. This week’s episode is a little different to what you’re used to, as it’s a recording of the live Masterclass I hosted this week. In this episode, I share the seven strategies that I’m adopting in my own life and also encouraging my community to adopt as well - in order to keep ourselves as fortified and positive as possible to face the continued uncertainty of how COVID-19 will unfold in the coming weeks and months. Some of the key resources I shared during were: Insight Timer meditation app - some of the favourite teachers were Sarah Blondin, Tomek Wyczesany & Andrew Johnson Frankincense & lavender essential oils and Resonate Essences serenity spray Positive peeps to follow on Instagram: @PetaJean_, @_SarahWilson_, @Elizabeth_Gilbert_writer, @ClaireOWellness, @upworthy To help with the planning & structure.. my Cook-up Club Compendium - use code LMSHOW to get $10 off I also share that I’ve decided to make my Step Into You program (which starts Friday 27th March) as accessible as I possibly can - as right now, women need to band together more than potentially any time in our lifetimes. This means that rather than the original investment of $347, the program is available for just $99. I have never, EVER discounted a product like this (it’s a 72% reduction) however I am very sure that it’s the right thing to do for my community right now. Weirdly, Step Into You seems perfectly tailored for this uncertain time we find ourselves in - it’s designed to help you fill your own tank, create some gentle structure around your life, tap into your purpose and have the support of me and the group around you for the whole six weeks. To sign up for Step Into You, go to my website: lorrainemurphy.com.au.

This week’s special guest on our season all about mindset has so much gold to share! Anthia Koullouros is a naturopath with over 20 years of clinical experience. She’s also the founder of Ovvio Organics, AKA the most gorgeous, carefully created tea you’ll ever experience. I worked closely with Anthia last year when I was having intense mindset challenges, and associated health issues. I knew I needed to address the link between mindset and our wellbeing as part of this season and there was no one else I wanted to help me explore that topic than Anthia. In our chat, we discuss: The interconnected way our wellbeing affects our mindset How exactly our gut influences our mood and ability to think clearly The pros and cons of coffee for our mindset The telltale signs that we may have a gut issue The factors that may be affecting your sleep (some may surprise you!) A special message for parents who probably aren’t as in charge of their sleep as they’d like to be The condition of postnatal depletion and how it plays out for mothers The foods we can eat to help support our mindset Plant-based eating and whether or not it can help our mindset The simple phrase she teaches her clients to assist them in successfully making positive changes for their health How she personally manages her mindset with multiple focuses in her business You can find Anthia on Instagram - @ovvioorganics and also via her website ovvioorganics.com.au. I also want to tell you about the live Masterclass I’m hosting next week… I spend a LOT of time during my one-on-one mentoring and workshops guiding women who are feeling stuck, tired and out-of-touch with themselves to a more centred, calm and safe place. In this Masterclass, I'm sharing the five steps I coach my mentees on, and that I practice day-to-day in my own life. I'm calling it “From burnt-out to brilliant: five steps to relighting your inner flame”. It's all happening at 8pm AEDT next week Wednesday 18th March 2020. Jump over to lorrainemurphy.com.au/webinar/ to register - would love to have you there with me. Oh and don't worry if you can't make the live session - I'll send you the recording afterwards.

I’m so excited to bring you today’s guest, as he’s someone who’s been a pivotal person in my entrepreneurial journey. He’s been a mentor, an example and a special friend. Jack Delosa is the founder of The Entourage, an organisation that trains entrepreneurs in the key skills they need to build better businesses. In our chat, we cover: Victim mentality and how it’s the ultimate mindset killer The importance of priming our mindset and the three key rituals he practises to support his mindset How he adjusts his exercise to meet what his mindset needs are The biggest drain that he finds on his mindset How he balances his masculine and feminine energy (I loved exploring this with a guy for a change!!) The detailed behind-the-scenes story of the near collapse of his business in 2016 The 18-month journey to rebuild it from the ground up What gifts he can see that that experience gave him His experience of “resilience fatigue” and what it is My own experience of resilience fatigue What steps we should take to build up our resilience reserves You can find The Entourage at www.the-entourage.com.au and @theentourageofficial, and Jack is at @jackdelosa on Instagram. My most successful program of 2019 - Step Into You - is beginning again on 27th March. I ran this program for the first time in November last year, and it’s a special one. This program is for you if you’re feeling a bit “meh”, disconnected from your purpose, overwhelmed.. or just in need of some Lorraine-style TLC. Over six weeks, I’ll guide you through a step-by-step process to finding a more empowered, focused and energised version of yourself. Each week, you receive a video tutorial and I’m also hosting three live online mentoring sessions. Throughout you’ll be connected with fellow program friends in an exclusive Facebook group, and I’ll be in there interacting with the group each week too. I described it to the first group last year as a soft place to land in the stress of everyday life, and I’m so thrilled that that’s exactly what they said the program provided to them. Everyone who completed the post-program survey said that they would recommend the program to a friend. How happy that makes my heart. Jump onto my website to get yourself registered… it all begins on Friday 27th March. QUOTE BOX: Whatever need to do feel connected, rested, whole and nurtured, do that. Do that.

If you’ve followed along on this podcast for a while, you’ll know that I am a HUGE believer in the power of habits, rituals and practises that prime us for success day to day. These practises optimise us on the days we’re already feeling good, however they have the ability to give us speedy mindset upgrades on the days we’re feeling a bit (or very) crappy. For me right now, these practises are extra critical as I move forward from a period last year when my mental health was not very good. In this episode I cover:

The two practises I do as soon as I wake up (NB: these are weird and even Wade doesn’t know I do them!) The latent power of affirmations and a sneak peek at some of the ones I’m working with in 2020 The link between exercise and mindset The exercise shake-up I’m experiencing right now, and how it’s working The tricks I use to stop negative thinking in its tracks PLUS: the top 3 energy-boosting I use to get myself firing on all cylinders I’ve shared a LOT of behind-the-scenes info in this episode (a notebook and pen might come in handy), which is usually reserved for my one-on-one mentees for members of my Step Into You program. If you haven’t already, get yourself on the waitlist so you can get access to the waitlist VIPs only kick-off session with me. You can find it at lorrainemurphy.com.au/waitlist.

Something that has been invaluable to me in working through some big mindset challenges - business and otherwise - has been working consistently with a business coach… that coach being Ronan Powell. Since my “Black November” period 18 months into my first business, Ronan has been a pivotal force in enabling me to get over my own mindset BS and try to constantly be developing myself as a person and a business owner. I was super keen to tap into his incredible knowledge for this season on mindset, and happily - he said yes to an interview! If you’d like to connect with Ronan, you can find him via his website https://www.powellbusinessleadership.com.au/. My most successful program of 2019 (Step Into You) is beginning again on 26th March. You can hop on the waitlist right now on my website. I’ll be hosting a super-exclusive kick-off session just for those on the waitlist, so it’s worth getting your name down early...

Welcome to the first international broadcast of The Lorraine Murphy Show! This week I’ve been in Bali having a few days of recharge, and seen as these trips have been a huge part of my mindset maintenance over the years, I wanted to share my adventures on the podcast. I first came to Bali on retreat in 2015, and with the motivation and clarity I got from that trip, I wrote my first book in just seven weeks!Remarkability This week’s retreat didn’t quite go to plan, which I’ll explain in the episode...

I have been in the super privileged position of a one-on-one mentor since 2016 and at this point I’ve worked with over 100 mentees one-on-one. Usually, about 80% of my mentees are business owners however right now for some reason about 50% of my mentees are in corporate or other organisations. Funny how it changes! It never fails to blow me away at how much trust my mentees place in me during our work together, and as a result I get to have a very intimate and honest insight into their lives. Over the dozens and dozens of people I have mentored, I can see clear trends and patterns - regardless of whether that person is male or female, employed or a business owner. Of course, what happens in a mentoring session with me stays in that mentoring session! However in this episode I wanted to identify the top five mindset challenges that I see my mentees having… and how we work on them together. I have a triple intent with this episode… First off, to help you realise that you’re not alone if you’re currently experiencing one of these challenges. Secondly, to share with you some actionable next steps to help you get out of that mindset rut. And lastly, to lift the curtain a little on how my mentoring works.

Welcome to Season 4 of The Lorraine Murphy Show! For the next 10 episodes of the show, we are diving DEEP on the topic of mindset.
I’ve learned in my business and personal journey that mindset is EVERYTHING.
The state of mind we maintain day-to-day is the energy that we infuse into everything we’re doing - whether that’s making breakfast or leading a key project at work.
I believe that we all need an infrastructure that supports us to be in the best mindset possible day-to-day, and that is what this season is here to explore.
Through a mix of sharing my own personal experience, the work I do with my mentees and program participants to build up their mindset and interviews with some true-blue experts, my intent with this season is to help you upgrade your mindset - and keep it that way.
First up, this episode jumps right into the heart of what I believe is the #1 most important thing we need to do to keep our mindsets on the up…See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to a series of guest episodes on The Lorraine Murphy Show. I thought the Summer holidays would be the perfect opportunity to show off some of my super talented friends’ shows - by featuring them interviewing ME for a change!
Today’s guest interview couldn’t have been better timed! Stevie Dillon AKA Stevie Says Social had only recently given birth to her first baby, Jimmy and she had read my third book, Baby You’re Remarkable while he was tiny.
It was so fun to go back to those early days with Stevie, who was still right there in it - and our conversation is just like listening in to the two of us chatting in a cafe. I just loved it.
Stevie has run her own social media business for two years, and is the go-to on all things social. She has a suite of super-smart online programs to support you wherever you are in your social media adventure.
You can find her website at steviesayssocial.com, on Instagram @steviesayssocial and her podcast, which is called The Stevie Says Social Podcast.
