Imagine waking up and trusting that you will handle every situation perfectly? What if the secret isn't in the doing but in simply being—being present, being you? In this episode of The Light Seekers Lounge, we dive deep into the art of true presence and self-love with Rachel Madorsky.

Rachel Madorsky is a bestselling author, speaker, psychotherapist and executive coach helping women leaders give themselves everything they ever wanted in life - now. Recognised by Influence Digest as one of Austin’s top 15 coaches, to date, Rachel has coached hundreds of brilliant entrepreneurs, artists, CEOs and visionaries, guiding them to experience more freedom, love and wealth in all its forms.

Rachel is the author and illustrator of the best-selling book, "How to Love Yourself: In Less Than a Week and Also for the Rest of Your Life,” featured in The Be Kind Winter Box by Ellen DeGeneres.

In this conversation, Rachel and I discussed:

• The significance of self-love on every facet of life - including improving relationships, career, and financial well-being - and empowering women to be open to receiving more money.
• Allowing yourself to feel negative emotions fully before seeking the next steps, and Rachel's "many" self-care practices, including organising life for authentic bliss.
• What valuable lessons Rachel has learned from improv comedy, including saying "yes," embracing mistakes, and being present.
• The inspiration behind and rapid creation of Rachel's book, "How to Love Yourself in Less Than a Week. And also for the rest of your life," sparked during a walk in the sunshine.
• Self-love and its connection to trusting our intuition - and a great story about how Rachel's book ended up being promoted by Ellen DeGeneres.

I believe working with a coach can be really powerful, but it's not always the right move or right time.

Whatever kind of coach you're looking at hiring, this episode will help you get clear on your goals, readiness, and financial capacity, as well as common pitfalls to avoid, so you can make an empowered, grounded decision.

Jenny Richardson didn't expect to be diving back into the dating scene in her 40s. Or ever, really. 

Jen met her husband Will back in university at 20, and they built a pretty great life with two awesome kids and a couple of cats. Until Will passed away unexpectedly at 46, and the future they'd planned vanished in an instant.

Jen spent a few years healing, raising her girls, and retraining in a new career. Then, at around the 4-year mark, she started wondering what "moving forward" looked like and nervously anticipated the perils of online dating.

With the support of a mentor, devouring books, adapting her coaching skills, and creating systems, Jen tested her dating theories in the real world, figuring out how to find the relationship she craved. Jen now supports her clients to dive into dating with curiosity, confidence, and clarity.

In this conversation, Jen and I discussed:

• How Jenny met her husband, Will, and how life shifted after Will died unexpectedly. Plus the dark humour we rely on during grief.
• When Jen decided she was ready to try dating (although she wasn't "over" her grief), navigating the online dating scene, especially as a solo Mum with two daughters, and what she has learned about herself through dating and starting new relationships
• Jen's business journey, from retraining in a whole new career, to the pivot from children's emotion coach to dating coach.
• The wisdom and tips Jen has for those who are considering leaping into the current dating landscape, including the importance of taking action and learning as you go.

In this week's conversation, I share a little life update from the Love household. From the chaos of welcoming an unexpected new furry family member to the transformative decision around schooling for my eldest son Sam, it's been a whirlwind of changes and adjustments. 

But it’s not all about the changes; it's also about how we handle them. We'll explore strategies for managing uncertainty and share insights I picked up from Ali Hill's keynote speech at The Future of Leadership conference earlier this year.

I have recently re-certified as a Profit First Professional (which we have to do each year to ensure our skills are current and up to scratch!) and realised that means I've been certified for a whole year and STILL haven't shared with you exactly how Profit First works. Sorry for holding out on you!

So here's an overview of Profit First, the basic principles and how it works with habits you probably already have - no accounting degree required. I'll also share how you can set up your bank accounts to prioritise profit in your business.
