Project Love

We started Project Love in 2013 and for over 8 years we have been on the most amazing journey together, with you, our wonderful community. We have recorded over 150 podcast episodes (that’s 100 hours and more than 3 days of non-stop listening!) and had over half a million downloads

Hi lovely, Ooh we loved recording today’s episode!  We got together to reflect on 7 years of running 28 days of love, our self love challenge that we’ve been running on Instagram since Valentine’s day (have you been doing it with us?). Every year we do this challenge, we discover something new about ourselves on our self love journey and our understanding of self love deepens each time.  If you’ve been doing 28 days of love with us (yay!) then we‘d love to hear how it’s been for you and what lessons you’re taking away from it. And if you’d like to start the challenge then you can do it anytime - simply head over here and download your free PDF guide to getting started (plus you’ll also find a big list of ideas to inspire you). It’s a great one to do with friends! Whether you’re new to self love or you are wanting to deepen your practice, we hope these lessons will inspire you on your own self love journey.  EXCITING NEWS Plus in the episode, you’ll hear us celebrating that we have a brand new jour

Hi lovely, Happy New Year! How has the start of the year been for you? And what are the dreams you want to bring to life and the intentions you are setting for 2022? If you’ve got one of our Goodbye 2021, Hello 2022 journals, then get yours out and join us as we reflect on the lessons we’ve each learnt this year from filling out our journals, what our own dreams and intentions are for 2022 and how we’ve been navigating some difficult times of late, because let’s face it, it HAS been a difficult time for many of us and that is even more reason to set intentions for 2022 that have us filling it with the things we love.  So let’s dive into this month’s episode and say a proper HELLO to 2022 together

Well here we are.. nearly at the end of 2021 and oof, what a year it’s been. It’s been another rollercoaster year hasn’t it? Full of ups and downs, twists and turns and everything in between.  For many of us, it’s been a tough and challenging one and so if you’re feeling exhausted, fatigued and a bit fed up as 2021 draws to a close then you’re certainly not alone! In this month’s podcast, we invite you to join us for a virtual hug

Hi lovelies! In this month’s Project Love podcast we explore the topics that have been really firing us up recently in our coaching sessions, Vicki’s Sunday love letters and Selina’s Monday Crew weekly podcast, now on Patreon We take a deep dive into: Side hustles, side projects and hobbies – what’s the difference and how to tell which one is best for you? Selina’s appearance at Cheltenham Literary festival talking to Sam Baker about burnout, creating a career you love and a new way of working. Vicki’s appearance on BBC Radio London talking to Salma El-Wardany about the rise in women seeking love and dating coaches How we naturally fall into an ‘infatuation fog’ in the early days of dating and how we can clear that fog with Vicki’s new ‘Dating Debrief Tool’. It’s a self reflection exercise that helps you to feel clearer and more confident while you date.

Hi lovely, After a 2 month break, we are back on the podcast.. and it feels so good! How are you doing and how have the past 3 months been for you? In this episode, we invite you to join us for a quarterly check-in so that we can reflect on it together

Hi lovely, This will be our last episode until after the summer! We’ll be back in September but we’ll be doing things a little differently. Or rather, we’re going full circle and returning to how we used to do the Project Love podcasts when we began seven years ago! As of September we’ll be recording a podcast episode for you once a month, just the two of us. We are closing the chapter on weekly episodes and inviting guests onto the podcast. Not because we haven’t loved it - it has truly been life changing (as we share in today’s episode) - but because we are both working on new and exciting projects - online courses, podcasts and another journal (watch this space) - and we needed to create space to focus on these new adventures, so that we don’t burn out in the process. Our time is finite. We can do it all, but sometimes we have to change how we do it so we can fit everything in and still thrive ;) And so in today’s episode we look back on seven years of Project Love podcast episodes so far and some of

Hello lovely,  It’s Vicki here, with a gorgeous podcast episode for you! I had the privilege of sitting down with a fellow lover of love, Natasha Lunn, to talk about her new book Conversations on Love (which is INCREDIBLE!) I love every single second of reading it. No exaggeration! Each page offers a deeper understanding of what it means to love and be loved and what it means to live a life of meaning. I felt so in love reading it, which Natasha tells me was one of her aims with the book. The book features interviews with the likes of Alain De Botton, Phillipa Perry, Esther Perel, Candice Carty Williams, Poorna Bell, Dolly Alderton, Roxane Gay, Diana Evans and many many more. It’s centered around three main questions (which we talk all about in the episode): How do we find love? 
 How do we sustain it? 
 And how do we survive when we lose it?
 I first met Natasha back in 2018 and I learn something new about love every time I talk to her. She speaks about love with such reverence and wisdom. Spe

It’s Selina here and this week I have a truly special episode. Because this week you hear me diving deep into conversation with one of Vicki and my greatest friends, Bexy Cameron - a writer, creative director and film-maker who was raised in a notorious sex cult, escaped in her teens and then returned to cults as an adult to understand what leads people, like her parents, to join them in the first place.  Her memoir, 'Cult Following', is out TODAY. It has been celebrated by The Guardian and The Times, who described it as ‘defiantly NOT a misery memoir’ and it is currently being turned into a film by Dakota Johnson.  So in this special episode you’ll hear Bexy and me diving deep into conversation about:  - Some of the pivotal moments in her life that lead her to where she is today.  - An extraordinary and magical coincidence that profoundly shaped her life.  - What has helped her rise up out of such a dark childhood and create such a truly happy life.  - And what it was like finding her voice so that

Hi lovely, Well here we are, at the end of another quarter of 2021! How have the last 3 months been for you? We don’t know about you but we both felt like we really needed a check-in, to take stock and reflect on how we’re feeling and how the last few months have been and so this quarterly check-in was just the tonic! In this week’s episode, we invite you to do your quarterly check-in with us and to take a moment to pause and reflect on how you’re feeling and what you’ve been experiencing over these past few months.  Grab your Goodbye 2020, Hello 2021 journal if you have one and fill in the quarterly check-in section. And feel free to share the journal questions with a friend and do your check-in together or as a group - it’s always so nourishing to talk through your answers with a trusted friend. Here below are links to some of the things we mentioned: Selina’s Monday Crew (weekly podcast and life design check-in tool - delivered to your inbox each Monday!) Vicki’s Sunday Love Letter (a love l

Hi lovely,  It’s Vicki here with a brand new podcast episode for you

Hi lovely, It’s Selina here this week with a deep, inspiring and juicy conversation for you all about finding your voice, with the queen of heart-felt expression, Nicola Rae Wickham. I’ve known Nicola for a number of years now and every time I sit down in a conversation with her, whether it is just between us or recording a podcast episode to share, she always brings a depth, warmth, wisdom and power to it that leaves me inspired and moved and this week’s conversation has to have been the most powerful to date.  In case you don’t know Nicola, she is an award-winning coach and mentor, founder of ‘A Life More Inspired’ and host of the ‘Dream and Do’ podcast. In her own words she is ‘on a mission to help big-hearted (deep thinking and big feeling) creatives find, use and amplify their voice and make a real WHOLEHEARTED and positive impact in the world.’ And wow, does she lead by example. Over the past 18 months I have witnessed Nicola step into her power in a whole new way, find her voice and use it to

If you’re going through change or growth in your life at the moment (or plan to soon), then today’s episode is for you.​ While we love to encourage people to go after their dreams and create the lives, careers and relationships they love, it’s important to know what to expect on that journey of change. Because it is a rollercoaster ride and noone ​is immune to the vulnerability hangovers, shitty committee attacks and feelings of overwhelm and loneliness.  And THAT is what we are discussing this week as we share how recent experiences of change and growth in our own lives reminded us of just how discombobulating it can all be, but also how valuable it is to know what to expect on the change journey and how to navigate the emotional rollercoaster that is an unavoidable part of it. In it we mention Donna Lancaster's new programme: Deepening into Life - which Selina has just started and cannot recommend more (she's not an affiliate, she just LOVES it). >> Find out how to join yourself here: http://d

Hi lovely, This week’s episode is dedicated to those of you who are feeling a little anxious and apprehensive about dating post-lockdown.  Here in the UK, restaurants have just opened up again and restrictions have been easing over the last few weeks. But even if this is a change you’d been looking forward to and waiting for, it’s only natural that it would come with some anxiety and apprehension too. In this week’s episode, I share my 3 steps to calm dating-post-lockdown anxiety, so that you can date with more confidence and ease in this new chapter. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed creating it for you :) Meditation to calm pre-date nerves. And I have a free gift for you! Simply pop your details over here and I’ll send you my meditation to calm pre-date nerves. It’s a great one for your dating + self care toolkit. You’ll also get my weekly love letter each and every Sunday (yay!) ❤️  If you’re already signed up then your free gift will be enclosed in this Sunday’s love letter! 

Hi lovely, It’s Selina here this week with a gorgeous and soothing conversation that is guaranteed to have you breathing a sigh of relief and calm, because I got to dive deep into conversation with the queen of self-care, Suzy Reading. Suzy is a mother of two, an author, Chartered Psychologist and Coach. She specialises in self-care, helping people manage their stress, emotions, and energetic bank balance.    I have always loved her first book ‘The Self-Care Revolution’ and now she has written another, equally powerful book: ‘Self-Care for Tough Times’.    Reading it was like receiving a warm and soothing hug and talking with Suzy filled me with so much love and comfort and I hope hearing the conversation will do the same for you.   In this episode we talk about:  Why so many of us can find ourselves resisting self-care (and what to do about it) Why parents, particularly mothers, feel guilt around needing time to themselves away from the kids   What self-care looks like during tough times (and why it

Hi lovely,  We are back from our quarterly podcast break with a brand new episode and a brand new season of episodes for you

Hi lovely, It is almost here!!!

Hello lovely, Well here we are, at the end of the first quarter of 2021 (already!). It’s been 12 months now since the first lockdown here in the UK and we are very much looking forward to stepping into a new quarter and starting a new chapter in the year.  As we step into spring, it has felt incredibly cathartic to hit pause and take a moment to sit back, take stock and reflect on how the last 3 months have been for us.  Join us for this week’s episode, as we talk about our commitments, our happiest moments, our most challenging moments (and everything in between!). Grab your Goodbye 2020, Hello 2021 journal if you have one or simply answer the questions as we go through them. And if you haven’t yet got your copy of the Goodbye, Hello journal then it’s not too late! You can grab your copy here. As always, we find these quarterly reflections to be so nourishing and we hope you do too

Hi lovely, Here at Project Love, we love to share and celebrate real love stories. We love to go beneath the surface and have deep and meaningful conversations with people about their relationships, looking at things like; how they support each other to grow, how they navigate challenges, how they make love last and the lessons they’re learning along the way. It’s in hearing people’s real love stories, that we can learn so much about love and what it takes for a relationship to thrive. And this week’s episode is one of those episodes! It’s a real love story with the wonderful Lisa Pascoe, who reflects on her beautiful love story with her wife Bekky. What I found so inspiring about Lisa and Bekky’s love story is their daily commitment to each other. In Lisa’s words, “everyday we recommit to the relationship we’re in, by choosing to be in that relationship”. How beautiful is that? Lisa is an intuitive life coach and she brings invaluable advice and wisdom on life and love to this episode. She is a

Hi lovely,   It’s Selina here and this week I have an episode that I guarantee will put a grin on your face and a fire in your belly. I was buzzing with inspiration and love after this conversation.   I interviewed the incredible Brita Fernandez Schmidt about her new book ‘Fears to Fierce’. If you are a woman, or identify as a woman, then I cannot recommend this book more. It is a rallying call for all womxn to rise up, step into their power and become the leader in their own lives and the world around them.                                                             Brita herself is an incredibly inspiring woman, so full of love, wisdom and fierce beautiful power. She is Executive Director of Women for Women International and for 25 years has been championing women’s rights across the world. She is Chair of a network Gender Action for Peace and Security. She frequently writes and publicly speaks about the challenges women face all over the world, particularly in the context of poverty and conflict. Brita als
