live with Lorraine

Welcome back to another episode of the live with Lorraine podcast! In this episode I give a quick health update in terms of my diagnosis and where I am at after having my appointment with a rheumatologist. The topic of todays episode is people pleasing and how it not only affects those of us that are empathic of kind hearted but how it also affects alot of people who struggle with chronic illness. I go into what it is, how it shows up for people. I also share some really messages that came through to be during meditation about my relationship with people pleasing that allowed me to really recognise my pattern and be ready to change it. I talk about your values and how to figure out what they are in terms of your relationships and I also talk about the power of no. In the episode i recommend the book “not nice by Dr Aziz Gazipura. It’s a fantastic book with really good exercises on people pleasing. I share all of this and more in this super personal and also therapeutic episode. As always everything in this episode is only my opinion from my experience so if you disagree with anything I have said simply stop listening or so whatever you need to do in order to find content better suited to you and your views. I would love to hear your thoughts on this episode either in the comments or by dm. Lots of love, Lx

In todays episode I do a deep dive into what I have been dealing with the last while which is a fibromyalgia diagnosis. I go into what it is, how it came about for me and how I was diagnosed. I talk about the impact this has on me mentally, being stuck in a fix it mindset and also a fear mindset thinking I had done something to cause this in myself. I talk about the path to healing and acceptance, other invisible illnesses and how it can impact people. I also share a little for those who may have someone in their life who is suffering on how to communicate with them or show up for them in a way that allows them to feel heard. This episode was really therapeutic for me and important for me to share and while I am not completely healed I am moving through this the only way I know how, by trying to use my experience to help others. I end this episode with a quote from Wayne Dyer “ when you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” I would love to hear any feedback on this episode and if it resonated. If you need any help or guidance on getting a diagnosis or helping someone close to you do reach out and I will be happy to offer any advice or support that I can. Thank you and much love always, Lorraine x

Welcome back! It’s been a minute sense I jumped on the podcast! A lot has gone on the last few months and a lot of thoughts have been on my mind! In todays episode I dive into some thoughts I have been having around ego in my own life, the addiction of needing to rush and do do all of the time and trying to find a way to live a slower softer life with the seasons. This episode was a bit of a random chit chat with me sharing my own personal journey through life and through the beginning of 2023! I hope you enjoy the episode and please comment your answers to the questions I pose to you the listener at the end of this episode 😉❤️ much love L x

Our expectations are shaped by our perspective but what we often don't realise is our perspective is different to the people around us. For me this is something I only really became aware of in the last few weeks and how my expectations of myself and others have been shaping my life in not the most positive way. In this episode we dive into the idea of expectations and where they come from, how our unconscious habits can play a big roll in how we see and deal with things, how to become aware of your own expectations, there origin and weather or not they are serving you. I give real life examples of how this has been playing out in my life, how it has impacted my chronic illness and ability to put myself first. And as always I give practical real time things you can do to uncover your own expectations and gain a greater awareness of how they are shaping you and your outside experiences. If you enjoy this episode please give it a share online so others can find it and If you have any comments or questions drop me a dm over on instagram.

Finally I will leave you with this question as food for thought.

Are your expectations working for you or against you?

This is the debut episode of the brand new Living with Lorraine Podcast. This podcast shares my journey through chronic illness, mental health and other challenges in life and the spiritual lessons and teachings I pick up along the way. In this first episode from Kharma to Dharma I discuss the negative view we have in society of what kharma actually is and how that can cause a negative fear mindset, what dharma is and how to find yours, how my kharma led me to understanding my dharma more which in turn helped me to see the light in my chronic illness and so much more. This episode shows you how to use your kharma as a positive tool in your life instead of a negative consequence. I also go through how to go over your past life experiences in order to help you find your dharma or purpose in this life, and finally how to surrender suffering and let the light in.

I hope you enjoy this episode and feel free to comment or dm me any thoughts on it!
