We are so excited for you to listen to today’s episode as Vicki got to interview the absolutely wonderful and incredibly inspiring Melody Godfred, founder of [Fred and Far](https://fredandfar.com/) and the author of [‘The ABC’s of self love’](http://www.bit.ly/theabcsofselflove). If you haven’t come across Fred and Far before then you are in for such a treat with this week’s episode! Fred and Far is a self love movement that is empowering women all over the world. And it all started with a self love pinky ring (which are absolutely gorgeous btw, check them out [over here](https://fredandfar.com/)). In this episode, we talk about Melody’s own journey to self love, the lessons she has learnt along the way, the power of boundaries + self compassion and how self love and sisterhood will save the planet. Plus so much more!  This is such a special episode, we can’t wait for you to listen to it! x Selina & Vicki

Happy Day of Love! We cannot wait for you to hear this next episode. It is our first live podcast recording which took place last night at none other than Liberty London and wow was it a powerful one!  **We talked about: ** * Why we are SO passionate about busting the modern day myth that love is something that comes from that one special romantic partner in life * The impact that belief has had on so many of our lives and our relationships.  * The exciting rise in a new approach to love - that has self-love at the heart of it - that is empowering and liberating and actually helps us to flourish as individuals and in our relationships * How learning to love yourself is a skill that we can all get good at * The different ways you can weave self-love into your day to day life * Why so many of us resist self-love (and what to do about that) * And how, when you start to tune into that inner loving voice your life will start to transform from the inside out

Ooh we have a treat of a podcast for you this week as we got to interview the gorgeous and infectiously joyful Harri Rose, a health coach who helps women to unapologetically love their bodies. Listen in as we talk about body love, body confidence and body acceptance and how, treating your body with love, kindness and compassion can totally transform your life. And not a diet in sight! We loved recording this podcast and we think Harri’s work is so needed right now (particularly at the start of the year when we are flooded with messages of gym memberships and diets). [Head over here](https://www.harrirose.com/) for more Harri Rose magic and to find out how to work with her. Can’t wait for you to listen to the podcast - let us know what you think and what resonated with you. We always love to hear from you! x Selina & Vicki

Hands up if you’ve been feeling overwhelmed since the new year has kicked off? Well if you have, then you’re not alone. In fact we received SO many messages last week from people saying that they had been feeling overwhelmed since stepping into the new year that we decided to dedicate a whole podcast episode to it this week. And wow, once we opened up this topic there was soooo much to say. We dug into what can cause overwhelm at the start of the new year (and there are a whole host of different triggers), why overwhelm is natural at the start of any new journey or project and why and we shared lots of tips and suggestions on what to do if and when overwhelm gets the better of you. And by the way, the two of us aren’t immune to New Year overwhelm. We always expect it to happen and this year it was particularly strong for both of us as we both chose intentions for the year that triggered our Shitty Committees big time! We share all about that too. So hit play and enjoy! And if you'd like to buy

Happy New Yeeeeeaaaarrrrr!!!!!! Well we wanted the first podcast episode of 2019 to be a powerful one for you and wow, it really is! Honestly, prepping for this episode and recording it really had a huge impact on both of us. We sat down after recording it, had a cup of tea and came up with an intention for Project Love for 2019 (and beyond) that totally blew us away. It felt like we had poured power and energy into our future and it has got us stepping into 2019 feeling fired up and ready to get the love spreading far and wide.  So we can’t wait to hear what this episode does for you…! We really hope you enjoy this episode!  And while we’ve got you, on 15th January we’re going to be running an online workshop called ‘[How to Design A Life You Love in 2019](https://www.thegoodbyehellojournal.com/shop/design-a-life-you-love-in-2019-online-workshop)’ and we would love to see you there! In this two hour online workshop you’ll learn how to take the dreams and plans from your Goodbye 2018, Hello 201

Join us for a special end-of-year podcast episode this week where we invite you to sit in a circle with us and reflect on your year - on all that has happened, all that you’ve learnt and the ways in which you’ve grown. And if you did Goodbye 2017, Hello 2018 we’ll also be looking at how your focus or intention for 2018 shaped your year, which of the dreams and goals you wrote in your journal happened aaaand which ones didn’t (because there is always a lesson in that too!).  We’ll be doing it with you along with two very special guests from our Project Love tribe: [Leah Stewart](https://leahkstewart.com/) (someone who has been part of our online community for a long time, but who we had never met until the recording!) and [Bexy Cameron](https://www.bexycameron.com/) (one of our best friends, the first person (other than Selina) to ever do the very first ‘Goodbye, Hello’ and the person who introduced us!).   Listen in as we each reflect on our year and invite you to do the same and if you did Goodbye 2

We have such a gorgeous podcast for you today as we got to interview the wonderful Sarah Tomczak, who is the editor over at Red magazine and a woman who we so admire. We came away from this interview feeling so inspired by Sarah’s overall approach to life, work and relationships. She’s an incredible example of a woman who is juggling a successful career and family, so is spinning a lot of big plates, but seems to do it with a lot of ease, joy and love. And her joyfulness is SO infectious (check out her [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/sarah.tomczak/?hl=en) to see what we mean!).  Listen in as we talk about definitions of success (and how they can change over time), what it’s like to be editor of a top magazine (and how she got there) and living a perfectly imperfect life that is unapologetically joyful. And so much more! Can’t wait for you to listen to this one - and when you do, let us know what you think and what resonated with you. We always love to hear from you! x Selina & Vicki

A few weeks back we hosted a couple’s rewilding retreat put on by the amazing [Canopy and Stars](https://www.canopyandstars.co.uk/) and owners of the magical [Brook House Woods](http://www.brookhousewoods.com/), Penny and Will, who had run a competition for four lucky couples to win a place on the retreat, staying for two nights in one of the luxury treehouses.  We had heard a little bit about Penny and Will - the couple who had left behind their life as actors in London to fulfill their dream of creating and running a glamping retreat in the woods and we knew we had to hear the story in full and record a podcast with them. And wow, are we glad we did!  They shared with us what it was like to come up with such an incredible dream together and actually make it happen, how living their dream life amongst the woods has changed them and positively impacted their relationship and the advice they would give to someone who also has a big dream that they’d love to make real. Oh and we recorded the podcast in a mea

Last week we hosted a panel discussion at the Ace Hotel in collaboration with Knot and Pop. The topic was marriage. We had three couples joining us to share their experiences of marriage and making love last. Gemma and Francesca have been married for a year, Kate and James have been married for 6 years and Bill and Nancy who have been married for 29 years. It turned out to be a fascinating discussion, really digging into the complexities of marriage and committed long-lasting relationships and what it takes to make love last. And thanks to Wise Productions it all got brilliantly recorded so that you can listen to it too (thanks guys!). We loved this conversation and will definitely be doing more interviews with couples in the future…watch this space!

This week we had our very own Vicki Pavitt in the hot seat telling her own [Real Love Story](https://loveprojectlove.com/new-blog-1/podcast-real-love-story-with-love-coach-vicki-pavitt). One thing you might not know about Vicki is that she finds telling her own story nerve wracking, so this is a real act of vulnerability for Vicki and I am so grateful for her courage because this interview offered sooo much in the way of inspiration and deep conversation about love, relationships and how to navigate doubts and fears at the start of relationships and how to help your relationship to flourish over the years. This really is such a gorgeous, honest, open, heart-warmer of an interview. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did recording it. And if you haven’t listened to it for a while, then I highly recommend that you listen to the [Real Love Story interview with Vicki’s partner, Mark](https://loveprojectlove.com/new-blog-1/2016/7/18/a-very-special-real-love-story-with-vickis-fiancee-mark-pavitt) (otherwise kn

We cannot wait for you to listen to this week’s episode because we got to interview Marianne Power as she talked to us about her brilliant new book ‘Help Me! One woman’s quest to find out if self-help really can change her life”. A book which saw her road test one self-help book a month for a year! The quest for happiness is something a lot of us can relate to and Marianne describes this with such refreshing honesty and intimacy. As she says in the podcast ‘“Being a human is a really up and down road” and maybe realising that we do not need to be fixed (because we are not broken) and that we are already good enough as we are, is the most liberating discovery we could ever have in life. We came away from this interview feeling so full of love and compassion. There is such a beautiful vulnerability in the way that Marianne shares her story in the book, it is so deeply personal and moving whilst also being wonderfully funny. It feels like 'Help me' could be the next Bridget Jones for our generation List

Billions of songs, poems, music, films and novels are dedicated to the topic of heartbreak. No one gets through life without getting their heart broken at least once, whether from a relationship ending or a dream falling apart.  Most of us go through quite a number of heartbreaks and yet, when it happens to us or the people we love, we are often at a total loss as how to deal with it.  So we decided it was time to dig deep into the topic, explore the science behind heartbreak and why it can be SO painful (yes, people CAN die from heartbreak!), how to get through the inevitable heartbreaks in life and use them as an opportunity for growth and making positive change in your life AND how we can support our loved ones when they are going through painful heartbreak.  This was a truly heart-warming and touching episode to create thanks to all of the women who shared their stories of heart break with us and of how they overcame some hugely heartbreaking moments in life. You are our heroes. Thank you. x S

This week we’ve created a podcast episode designed to take you through a 6 month review of your 2018 so far and help you create a plan for the second half of the year. We did this ourselves before recording this podcast and it was so powerful (you’ll find out why when you listen in!) In this podcast, we take you through a simple but powerful process that helps you to look back on your 2018 so far and reflect on all that you’ve done, all that has happened in your life, all that you’re proud of and all that you’ve learnt along the way. We’ll then take a look at what you’d like the next 6 months to be all about, any intentions you’d like to make, dreams you’d like to bring to life and any goals you’d like to set for yourself. We’ll be sharing with you nuggets from our own journeys as well as stories from our Project Love tribe to see how they’ve got on with sticking to their commitments and dreams We’ll also be taking you through the key lessons learnt along the way and what it takes to design a life you l

I never thought grief would be a topic I’d get excited about…I thought it was something that you went through when you lost a loved one. Something hard and painful that you had to endure until hopefully, one day, you were out the other side. But then I met [Donna Lancaster](http://www.thebridgeretreat.com/about-the-bridge/#our_facilitators) and did her [Bridge Retreat](https://www.thebridgeretreat.com/)- a six-day deep healing experience that was honestly THE most profound journey I have ever been on (you can find out all about it over [here](https://www.thebridgeretreat.com/)). I have done a lot of individual and group self-development and healing over the years and nothing compares with this. It as an emotional detox that brings you back in connection with yourself, others and the world in a way that is truly, deeply life changing. Both Vicki and I did the Bridge Retreat last year and we’ve been recommending it to our friends and clients ever since, particularly when they are feeling at a cross-road
