Project Love

Today we’re celebrating the 3rd birthday of [Get Ready for Love](https://loveprojectlove.com/get-ready-for-love/)- our 30 lesson online course that helps women to transform their love lives from the inside out. It truly has been such a powerful course - in the three years since we launched it, 600+ women have been through the course, discovering the power of self-love and how to open up to invite love into their lives - we’ve already had a number of weddings and even babies amongst our Get Ready for Love community and we have received some wonderful features in the press with a fresh new one coming out in Red magazine in just a couple of weeks! But what has been the most powerful of all has been to see so many women discover the power of self-love. They come alive with it and we get to witness it every day in the Love Zone - the incredible online community that has grown up around the [Get Ready for Love](https://loveprojectlove.com/get-ready-for-love/) course. So we decided to dedicate this next Pro

In this episode we dive deep into a topic that everyone has had strong experiences in: **friendship. ** Our friendships have the capacity to give us every bit as much love, connection, pain, heartbreak, growth and belonging as our romantic relationships and when it comes to friendships between women, there is plenty of research that proves that close female friendships are essential to our happiness and our health. So in this episode we looked at the power of friendship, the pain that can come with friendship break ups, how to make new friends as an adult and how to deal with the ‘friends’ that you realise aren’t treating you right and, perhaps the juiciest of all, how to handle the relationship hierarchy that seems to be at play in our society that relegates friendships to bottom rung once partners and kids come along. It was one of the biggest topics that came up when we got this conversation started over on [instagram](https://www.instagram.com/loveprojectlove/) and the [Love Zone](https://www.theget

There are SO many reasons for why I am _ridiculously_ excited about this week’s episode on the _Project Love podcast._ First of all I got to interview one of my ALL TIME heroes. Secondly she has just written a book which I truly believe is going to spark a MASSIVE movement in the world of work and will play a big part in encouraging people to really take their careers into their own hands and design careers that work for THEM. I am talking about the amazing author, broadcaster and podcast host [Emma Gannon](http://www.emmagannon.co.uk/) and her truly brilliant book [‘The Multi-Hyphen Method’](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Multi-Hyphen-Method-create-design-career/dp/1473680107/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1527060352&sr=8-1&keywords=the+multi+hyphen+method)which is about to hit the shelves on 31st May ([pre-order it this minute over on Amazon](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Multi-Hyphen-Method-create-design-career/dp/1473680107/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1527060352&sr=8-1&keywords=the+multi+hyphen+method)). I have been

This week we wanted to blast through the notion that finding love is all down to fate. It's not. And thinking that it is, completely strips us of the power we actually have to take our love lives into our own hands and bring on the love ourselves. Tune in to find out more...and if you liked it share it and spread the love!

This week's episode on the blog is a bit of a different one and a special one. I was joined by Allysa Rochelle, founder and host of the brilliant [Vulnerable Podcast](https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/vulnerable-podcast/id1244426082?mt=2) to talk about vulnerability and demonstrate it in action… I am such a huge fan of Rochelle's and of the powerful work she is doing with her podcast (and beyond). I have been so inspired and learnt so much from her and her guests from their deep dives into all sorts of topics from white supremacy, to hyper-masculinity to sex after trauma - conversations that all require serious vulnerability and openness. So I reached out to Rochelle a few months ago asking if she'd come on the _Project Love podcast_ to talk about vulnerability and why she started the _Vulnerable Podcast_. We met up and talked and she shared a little bit about her personal story and we arrived at the idea that she tell her story for the first time publically on the Project Love podcast, embracing a

So excited for you to listen to this week’s real love story interview with the fabulous Natasha Lunn.  Tune in as Natasha talks to Vicki about dating apps and 12 hour first dates, speaking your truth, wholeheartedness and choosing to go ‘all in’ on love (starting with going ‘all in’ with dating). And much much more!

Ooh we can’t wait for you to get stuck into this week’s podcast!  Selina got together with Victoria Roberts - body image and intimacy coach and certified sexological bodyworker to talk about sex, self-love and orgasms and everything in between.  It is as juicy a podcast episode as you might expect it to be.  They talked about the taboo around discussing sex openly and honestly in our society - where that comes from and the impact it can have on us, the importance of exploring and experimenting when it comes to our bodies and what turns them on and why sometimes it’s best to take the orgasm off the menu for a bit to focus on the other aspects of sex and learning how to give your body pleasure all over.  Victoria shared LOADS of practical tips about how to get back in touch with your body and improve your sex life, whether you’re in a relationship, single or somewhere in between.  So sit back, relax and enjoy this juicy episode!

I first interviewed Selina for a real love story back in 2015. We reflected on her journey of feeling completely stuck in love and wondering if it was ever going to happen for her, to feeling an abundance of love, and not just with a loving partner (we actually revealed in the podcast that she was expecting!) but the love that she discovered from the inside out. And now, 3 years later, Selina is back in the hot seat, but this time to tell a much deeper love story. This is a journey of hitting rock bottom in life and rising strong, healing and finding your way back home with love as your compass. A journey that starts and ends with ourselves. This is a story that has never been told before and I’m actually hearing it for the first time. There is such a beautiful sense of vulnerability and intimacy to it. It’s everything our podcasts are about - hearing women opening up and sharing from the heart. And that takes real courage. Thank you Selina, it was an honour to hold the space and to hear you tell y

This week we caught up with the world’s first and only Happyologist - Susanna Halonen Susanna has made it her life’s work to study happiness and is author of ‘Screw Finding your Passion’ and ‘Happiness is here - a 30 day guide to joy and fulfilment’. She describes herself as a born pessimist who trained herself to be a happy optimist and now helps others to do the same. So we joined her in her flat in London with her big cuddly dog to dive deep into the topic of happiness and what it really takes to live a happy and fulfilled life. We talked about: - How happiness as a practice (just like love) and not a destination and certainly not a permanent state we can maintain 24/7. - The importance of allowing ourselves to feel negative emotions and how they in fact play an important role in us cultivating happiness in life. - How being successful in life is not what brings about happiness, but quite the opposite: cultivating happiness TODAY in your life is what will in fact help you to achieve your

It’s Selina here and I’m so excited for you to hit play on this week’s podcast. It is dedicated to those of you that are feeling stuck and miserable in your career, but don’t know what else you could do (or you have some ideas but don’t know where to start). And even more so if you love the idea of doing your own thing and being your own boss, but you just don’t know how to find that ‘right’ thing. Because THAT is what my guest on the podcast this week is ALL about. Say hello to the wonderful Marianne Cantwell! Marianne is best-selling author of ‘Be a Free Range Human’ - THE book that I always recommend when it comes to discovering what you love to do and finding a career that gives you fulfilment and freedom. She also delivered a killer TED Talk last year on ‘The power and importance of not (always) fitting in’ that has had almost 200,000 views to date. And when it comes to creating a career for yourself that doesn’t require you leaving a piece of yourself at the door, then Marianne is your woman.

Listen in to hear Vicki interview the wonderful Caroline Atkinson as she talks about her real love story with Gus, which spans almost 10 years. We talk about relationship challenges, the incredible lessons learnt from spending 6 years apart, the importance of taking responsibility for your own happiness and the absolute joy of brunching on your own. Hope you enjoy! V xxx

This week’s podcast is SUCH an energiser. Selina invited Namoi Mdudu, founder of The Lifestyle Edit, onto the show to share her amazing story of how she brought about BIG change in almost every area of her life after major burn out (she started her own business, transformed her love life and moved from London to New York all within about a year!) and to share the lessons she has learnt from interviewing and working with 100s of successful female entrepreneurs over the past 3 years - you’ll find an incredible line up of women interviewed by Naomi over on The Lifestyle Edit. Naomi is so inspiring, wise and beautifully vulnerable in the way she talks about her journey and her experiences and she is a natural talent when it comes to guiding others in growing a successful business in which they can flourish. So if you are feeling ready to make a BIG change in life, if you run your own biz, if you’re in a relationship that just isn’t working, if you’re exhausted and you know something needs to change but you do

To celebrate ’Self-Care Week’ this week we invited holistic nutritionist and founder of Rooted London, Pandora Symes, to join Selina for a deep-dive into the topic of intuitive eating, how to learn to listen to your body and the importance of feeding your soul with what it really needs. This podcast is designed to nourish.

In our last podcast ‘Why we all have to learn to dream again’ we talked about the power of allowing yourself to dream and taking those dreams seriously as a key tool in both designing a life you love and in bringing about the changes you want to see in the world. In today’s podcast we talk about the power of setting intentions as another key tool in your life design and change-making toolkit. From seven years of watching people go through our ‘Goodbye, Hello’ process, we have found this to be one of the single most powerful parts of the process. And what is interesting is to see the different ways these intentions can be used - either as a way to stay focused throughout the year on what is most important to you OR as a bit of a magic spell - casting out the intention into your year without having any idea exactly how it will manifest, but finding that the intention works as a magic seed with a life of it’s own that grows in all sorts of different (and often very unexpected) ways. Come and join us fo

OK ladies, October is THE month. We are going on a journey and we’d love you to come with us. Over the past year one big message has been coming up over and over again - with our clients, amongst our friends, even in Vicki’s own life: That it is time for us to allow ourselves to dream again. And dream BIG. The way Olympic athletes, Oprah and Jim Carrey do. Without limits. And without chucking those dreams in the ‘it will never happen’ or ‘when I win the lottery’ bin. We’re talking about using dreaming as a TOOL - an essential, practical and powerful tool - to help you create a life you love, to help you bring about positive change, not only in your own personal life, but in the world around you. We’re talking about UNDOING the collective belief that dreaming is pure fantasy and a waste of time and reclaiming it as the powerful tool that it actually is to creating a life that you love. On Monday 16th October 2017 we’ll be running the DREAM BIG CHALLENGE - a free 5 day course to help y

Women who follow their hearts | How burn out and anxiety attacks lead Kim Murray to find her purpose by Project Love

www.loveprojectlove.com Vicki and I have been talking a lot recently about what it is to be an Ambassador of Love in life - to proactively spread love out in the world through action - the work that you do, through charity and through random acts of kindness and love. And so we were SO excited to meet Gayle Berry when she joined Project Love 365 (our membership programme to support you designing a life you love). Gayle is THE biggest Ambassador of Love I think I have ever met. From the work that she does, to the charity she helps to run to the #mamakindnessweek campaign she ran recently. Gayle is a Queen of LOVE. She stands SO firmly in love and just hearing her talk about her work, her relationship, her family and the way she approaches life is truly inspiring. So if you have ever wanted to do work you love, make a difference in the world, have a loving and happy relationship or simple live from love, then tune in and be inspired. x Selina Find out more and follow Gayle…
