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.

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.  

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…
