Ep 110: Sabotage - how to silence your inner critic and get out of your own way with Emma Gannon

🎧 You can also listen to this and all of our other podcasts on iTunes, Spotify or wherever you enjoy listening to your podcasts

Hey there, it’s Selina here this week and I cannot wait for you to tune-in to this week’s episode. Because on the pod this week is none other than the wonderful Emma Gannon. I got to hang out with her on Monday to talk about her brand new book Sabotage: how to silence your inner critic and get out of your own way which is out TODAY!

It is such a brilliant book and considering I talk a lot about the topic of ways that we hold ourselves back in life and how to overcome those inner blocks, this book had a surprisingly powerful impact on me. It really did help me to get out of my own way and commit to my dreams with more power than ever before. I can’t recommend it more! 

And if you haven’t heard of Emma Gannon before (although I suspect you will have) then you are in for a treat. Emma is a best-selling author, blogger, speaker and award-winning podcaster. Her book The Multi-Hyphen Method is one I recommend to anyone who loves the idea of creating their own career, her debut novel ‘Olive’ that came out this summer brings an incredibly important topic to the table - one of choosing to be child-free and her podcast Ctrl Alt Delete is the number one career podcast in the UK with the most incredible line up of guests ever. 

The best way to get more of Emma is through her newsletter ‘The Hyphen’ - my favourite newsletter out there, subscribe to her podcast Ctrl Alt Delete and of course buy Sabotage, out today!

And now tune-in to this week’s podcast episode as Emma and I dive deep into the topic of sabotage!

Ep 109: What it's like to start your own business and be your own boss

🎧 You can also listen to this and all of our other podcasts on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you enjoy listening to your podcasts

This week on the Project Love podcast we are talking about what it's like to run your own business. 

With so many of us spending much more time at home and travel being limited, more and more people seem to be using the time to embark on the adventure of starting a business or a side hustle. Particularly coaching businesses and online businesses.

And so as two people who have found huge joy and fulfilment in running our own businesses over the years, we decided to make this the topic of this week's episode, sharing our experiences of quitting employment and starting our own businesses and what it's really like being our own boss.​

Listen-in as we talk about:

•  How we started our own businesses

• What we believe has been key to making those businesses a success

• What we love about the work that we do 

• What we find challenging about running our own businesses and being our own boss

And a whole lot more!

DO ​YOU ​DREAM OF STARTING YOUR OWN BUSINESS?

If you are dreaming about starting your own business and you’d love to have a coach by your side, helping you to get really clear on what you want that business to be and getting it off the ground and happening, then I have just opened the doors to my Career Change Coaching programmes 🎉​ 🎉​ 🎉

The 6 week Career Change Kickstart programme is particularly good for you if you have a business idea you want to get off the ground. You could have your very own business up and running as early as November! Imagine that!

If that idea gets you really excited, then head on over to selinabarker.com and book yourself in for a discovery call!

I can't wait to hear from you :)

Ep 107: The secret to creating a career you love...for life

🎧 You can also listen to this and all of our other podcasts on iTunes, Spotify or wherever you enjoy listening to your podcasts

Hello lovely, it’s Selina here 👋 full of excitement because TWO big things are happening this week.

First of all the Project Love Goodbye 2020, Hello 2021 journal is now today officially ON SALE! Order your copies over here. 

Aaaaaand on Tuesday my very own Audible Original Series: ‘The Career Change Coach’ went live! 

I made this series at the start of the year. It was supposed to go live in April but then, well, you know...a global pandemic got in the way. And so finally it is out in the world and it is free on Audible UK!

💛 If you have Audible then adding it to your library and leaving a review would absolutely make my day! 💛

 >>> Download it on Audible today! 

The series follows me as I take six people on a Career Change journey. Each episode follows a different person as I coach them and, between coaching sessions, send them off to experience something that will help them along on their journey. You’ll hear me offering tips on how to make a career change throughout the series and at the end of each person’s coaching journey you’ll hear me help them create a plan going forward.

The aim is that, by the end of the series, you will have learnt practical tips and gained confidence to embark on your own career change journey. 

I really am so proud of this series and can’t wait for you to hear it too!

And to celebrate the series going live this week, I’m doing my first ever solo episode on the podcast! I talk about my own career journey over the past decade:

• how I have created a career that I love

• how I got into coaching

• how I discovered that my intuition could be used in a practical way in my coaching 

• how listening to my dreams and taking those dreams seriously has been at the heart of my career 

• the importance of personal development and healing to enable you to create a career and life that you love

Lots of love,

EP 99: The power of coming together with Gemma Brady, founder of Sister Stories

🎧 You can also listen to this and all of our other podcasts on iTunes, Spotify or wherever you enjoy listening to your podcasts 

Hi lovely,

With everything that is going on in the world and in each of our lives at the moment, we wanted to give you an episode this week that inspires you, nourishes you and reminds you of the power of coming together in times like these. 

And so I invited the wonderful Gemma Brady, founder of Sister Stories, onto the podcast to talk about exactly that: the deep and cathartic power of being heard and the beauty and magic that comes with holding a space as someone shares their truth. And how to create that space for you and your friends or with strangers. 

And there can be no better time or greater need for this kind of deep mutual support than now.

So we talked about how to create circles like this, how to do it online and why we all have a deep need for this kind of ritual and deep connection and how simple it can actually be to create the space for that. 

So I hope you find this episode nourishing, reassuring and inspiring. I certainly did as I was recording the episode on Monday evening.

And if you want to have a go at running your own sister circle now (online) or in the future, then here is the free download guide from Gemma on how to do it.

And if you’re interested in the online training to become a Sister Stories facilitator that starts in April, you can find full details over here.

Join us!
Tuesday, 24th March, 1pm, online (obvs)

Join us next week for a Project Love online Love In!
TUESDAY 24th March, 1pm UK time (BST)
FREE!

In the spirit of coming together to listen, share and support one another we are throwing an online get together - the Project Love Love-In on Tuesday 24th March at 1pm UK time.

It’s free and it will be on Zoom.

We’ll be sharing our own tips and experience on:

• How to keep your spirits up in times of uncertainty

• How to find a way of working from home that works for you (particularly if you’ve never worked from home) 

• How to manage your anxiety (with some live tapping from Vicki)

• How to use self-isolation as a time for practicing self-love and love for others

And we would love to hear your own tips, how you’re coping and how you’re finding ways to help in this time of us all pulling together. 

If you’d like to join us for one enormous online group hug, then save your seat here and we’ll remind you on the day that it’s happening and send you the link to join.

EP 90: Every Day Joy and Real Self Care with Tamu Thomas

🎧 You can also listen to this and all of our other podcasts on iTunes, Spotify or wherever you enjoy listening to your podcasts

Hi lovely,

It’s Selina here 👋 and I am so excited to be sharing today’s episode with you because I got to dive deep into conversation with a woman that I love: Tamu Thomas, founder of Three Sixty.

If you haven’t come across Tamu before then you are in for a treat. She is one of the wisest women I know, the queen of self-care wisdom and she is rapidly becoming known as Dr Joy by all that know her and get to work with her. 

Tamu worked tirelessly as a social worker for many years until her own breakdown lead to a breakthrough that set her on the path that she is on today: helping women (particularly Gen X women) to go from surviving to thriving so that they are living from a place of every day joy.

Today she runs magical one-to-one coaching programmes, her incredible ‘Every Day’ membership programme (I’ve been one of the guests and the community is gorgeous), her retreats (which are legendary) - her next one-day retreat is 21st March - and she has a podcast and a vibrant instagram community @livethreesixty

Get more Tamu in your life. You will not regret it! Starting with this episode :)

Join us as we talk about joy, burn out, real self care, living 360 degrees, motherhood without martyrdom and a whole lot more. 

Tamu’s lyrical way of speaking is like a soothing and hypnotic balm, so get ready to flow amongst her dulcet tones and wisdom...and en-JOY.

EP 81: Everything is Figureoutable

🎧 You can also listen to this and all of our other podcasts on iTunes), Spotify or wherever you enjoy listening to your podcasts

A couple of weeks ago we went to see the absolutely brilliant Marie Forleo at her event in London, celebrating her new book ‘Everything is Figureoutable’.

If you saw our instagram stories you’ll know that we were like the ultimate fan girls. Giddy with excitement!

Why? Because Marie Forleo is someone who we have followed and admired for years. She is an unwavering example of someone who brings so much love and joy into her work. And she believes, like us, that our careers can be the source of so much joy, love and fulfilment in our lives and that anything is possible if you allow yourself to dream it and believe in it.

Being at the event and hearing her share the ‘Everything is Figureoutable’ philosophy really had us reflecting on all the times in life where we’ve gone after a dream, not having a clue of HOW we were going to make it happen, but committing to it none-the-less. And so we wanted to dedicate an episode to diving deep into the ‘Everything is Figureoutable’ philosophy and share how we’ve used this approach in our coaching and in our own lives and careers to follow our dreams, even when we had no idea of HOW we were going to do it.

So if you have a dream that you’d love to go after but you’re not sure how to make it happen, then this one is for you!

EP 77: Self-care and getting ready for the autumn season

🎧 You can also listen to this and all of our other podcasts on iTunes), Spotify or wherever you listen to your podcasts

We have a fresh podcast episode for you today that is designed to make you feeeeel better.

Because today we are talking about SELF CARE 🧘🏾‍♀️🌿✨💛 and using the change in seasons here in the UK (and the rest of the northern hemisphere) as a chance to take stock, check-in with ourselves and see how we’re getting on with looking after our wellbeing on a daily basis AND how our self-care activities change with the seasons.

And so we invite you to join us and use this episode as a chance to check-in with your own self-care activities to see how you’re getting on!

Join us as we discuss:

• What each of our self-care activities are

• Our self-care hacks when life gets busy

• How not everyone suits having a daily self-care routine and that that is OK (phew!)

Self-celebration and creating a career you love with Sarah Powell

It’s Selina here 👋with this week’s podcast episode. And I cannot wait for you to hit play on this one, because I am joined by the Queen of Self-Celebration and all round joyous creature: Sarah Powell.

I have head-over-heels fallen in love with Sarah via her instagram stories (if you are on instagram and you don’t yet follow Sarah Powell on @thissarahpowell then go and do so immediately). She is hilarious, courageous, loving and inspiring.

She is one of those people that has created a career that is a total expression of who she is and what she loves in life.

She is a celebrant, founder of Celebrate Yourself (the first Celebrate Yourself Live event recently sold out in just 4 hours!), she is co-host of not one, but two hugely successful podcasts - Jules and Sarah and Wobble - both of which she does with her co-host Jules von Hep and she has a rapidly growing instagram community that she pours love into every day.

And yet just a few years ago Sarah was stuck in what she calls ‘the wilderness’ - that no-man’s land of not knowing what you want to do with your life and career, where you’re feeling totally lost and afraid that you’ll never figure it out. The place where everyone (yes everyone) begins their career change journey (or any big journey of transformation for that matter).

And so we talked about the power of self-celebration, finding humour in the mundane and how Sarah made her way out of the ‘wilderness’ to create a career that makes her heart sing and brings joy into the world.

This is such an inspiring episode and one that I guarantee will put a smile on your face!

Look at how much we were grinning by the end of it!

And if you felt like I was speaking to YOU at the start of the episode and you know that it is time for you to make your career change happen, then I would love to hear from you.

I am opening the doors to my 3 month 1:1 Career Change Coaching programme this month and as always will only be taking on a handful of clients.

And I would love for one of those clients to be YOU this time.

So if you’re ready to take the leap, come and book yourself in for a discovery call!

Let’s do this!

Becoming a Brave New Girl | interview with Chloe Brotheridge

This week on the podcast Vicki interviewed Chloe Brotheridge, a clinical hypnotherapist and coach, anxiety expert, author of the bestselling and bloody brilliant, The Anxiety Solution and now the author of her brand new book, Brave New Girl (which is equally as brilliant!)

This book is so so good, like one big pep talk to encourage us all to be brave, step outside of our comfort zones and go after our dreams, while also being wrapped up in so much love and compassion. It was a joy to read and it’s jam packed full of powerful tools and techniques to help you to end people pleasing, discover the power of ‘no’ and become your most confident self.

Listen in to the episode to hear Vicki and Chloe talk about the importance of setting boundaries (to avoid resentment and burn out), perfectionism and what it means to have the courage to be imperfect, loneliness and the power of community, imposter syndrome, the importance of self-compassion and so much more!

PODCAST - Intuitive Living - interview with Pandora Paloma

This week on the podcast Selina interviewed Pandora Paloma, Intuitive Living Coach, Founder of ROOTED LIVING and author of her brand new book ‘Intuitive Living: 6 weeks to self-love, intuitive eating & reclaiming your mind-body connection’

It is SUCH a good book. So beautifully written - smart, wise, loving, just like Pandora 😍 and with seriously powerful exercises inside.  

In this episode Selina and Pandora dive deep into the topic of intuitive living and eating, how to tap into your intuition (liking yourself is key), why self-love really IS at the heart of it all and why Pandora now chooses body neutrality over body love.

PODCAST - The Power of Saying No (and why we struggle with it so damn much)

Ooh we can’t for you to listen to this week’s podcast as we discuss the juicy topic of saying NO and setting healthy boundaries.

We talked about:

• The reasons why this two letter word can cause us so much discomfort and struggle

• How our reluctance to say ‘no’ can be a cause for exhaustion and burn out (and resentment!)

• Why, particularly as women, we fear saying no so much

• How we can learn to say no, with love and kindness and set healthy boundaries for ourselves

• And much more!

We loved recording this one and we can’t wait for you to listen to it 💖

PODCAST - A Life More Inspired - interview with Nicola Rae Wickham

This week on the podcast Selina had the most gorgeous and deep diving conversation with the wonderful Nicola Rae Wickham - the creative mentor, podcaster and founder of A Life More Inspired who helps women bring their dreams to life. If you aren’t yet following Nicola on Instagram, DO, she’ll bring so much joy and wisdom to your feed!

And this episode will truly bring a smile to your face. Nicola is just so full of love and laughter and brings a wonderful lightness to deeeeeep conversations and this episode is no exception. 

Together Selina and Nicola talked about…

• How Nicola got into the work she does today (because how DO you become a creative mentor that brings people’s dreams and creative businesses to life?!)

• Nicola’s own personal challenge of knowing how to ‘just be herself’ and what it was like 20 years ago in the workplace as a black woman feeling that she wasn’t allowed to be fully herself.

• How owning the parts of you that you feel shame around, helps you to own yourself fully and unlock parts of you that you couldn’t access before, like inner peace and joy.

• The brilliant event on ‘Wellness and Wealth’ that she put on recently at Reuters with the wonderful Tamu from Live Three Sixty

• And why we really do all need to start looking at wealth as a part of our overall wellness

Juicy juicy juicy! 

Oh and this episode was recorded literally days before Nicola gave birth (so it was done via Skype, rather than the studio).

Congratulations to you Nicola on your beautiful baby girl!

For more of Nicola’s love and wisdom head to her website and Instagram.

PODCAST | How to handle New Year overwhelm

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 have a listen and let us know what you think.

And if you'd like to buy the the 'Design a Life You Love in 2019' TWO HOUR video workshop to help you really kick 2019 off on the right foot then head over to thegoodbyehellojournal.com/shop to buy and watch it right away.

Lots of love,

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!

In this two hour online workshop you’ll learn how to take the dreams and plans from your Goodbye 2018, Hello 2019 journal and really bring them to life in 2019, no matter how busy life gets.

Podcast | Living life joyfully - an interview with Red magazine editor, Sarah Tomczak

🎧 You can also listen to this and all of our other podcasts on Apple Podcast (iTunes) and Spotify

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 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!

Podcast: Why aren’t we all easily designing and living lives we love?

🎧 You can also listen to this and all of our other podcasts on Apple Podcast (iTunes) and Spotify

We are so excited with all that is happening at Project Love at the moment! We are loving seeing pics sent in of our Goodbye 2018, Hello 2019 journals arriving at your homes and being spotted at Oliver Bonas stores all over the country (keep those pics coming - they make our day!) and this coming week you'll be able to hear our 5 part podcast series 'How to Design a Life You Love' over on the Pool podcast 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾

Now in the meantime, all this talk of life designing has got us asking one big important question: why aren't we all easily designing lives we love?

With so many of us lucky enough to have somewhere to live, food on the table and a whoooole lot of freedom when it comes to choosing what we do with our lives, who we spend it with and how we live it, why aren’t we all choosing to fill our lives with the things we love all the time?

Well in today’s Project Love podcast episode this is what we explore. And wow, what a juicy topic it is. When you start unpacking it there are sooo many layers to it. And it’s also a topic that seems important for us all to explore.

So join us as we unpack this BIG question and take a look at:

• What we even mean by ‘designing a life that you love’ - what it IS and what it ISN’T

• The reasons people often give for not being able to design the life they really want to live

• And what we have found to be the actual blockers to people following their dreams and designing lives they love

And if you haven't ordered your copy of the‘Goodbye 2018, Hello 2019’ journal then head on over to thegoodbyehellojournal.com

And save your seat to the online workshop ‘Design a Life You Love in 2019’. The two together make a great combo. And a perfect Xmas gift 😉

Podcast | A couple that dreams together - interview with Penny and Will, creators of Brook House Woods

🎧 You can also listen to this and all of our other podcasts on Apple Podcast (iTunes) and Spotify

You may have seen pictures of us on Instagram a few weeks back enjoying an amazing rewilding weekend in Brook House Woods where we got to sleep in a tree house shaped like a giant goji berry.

Well we were there to help host a couple’s rewilding retreat put on by the amazing Canopy and Stars and owners of the magical Brook House Woods, 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 meadow overlooking the beautiful hills of Herefordshire. Doesn’t get much better than that!

We hope you enjoy listening to this special episode as much as we did recording it.
