The start of a new phase of this podcast.

A little reading from a page on “physics for kids” about the theory of relativity along with how I've been experiencing the shift of time and how it seems to have expanded for me this week.. long may it continue
The conference I'm organising with Lyme Bag Ladies is almost sold out and it's felt sooo good! Nothing has felt like hard work and the buzz is electric. Here's a little insight behind the scenes and to encourage you to reach out to others.. don't wait for an invitation or permission slip
The podcast today is sharing one of the most transformative exercises I did. It looks at where you are now and where you want to be in a really practical way and then uses this as a compass towards the life you wish to live. Again it's all about becoming intentional with what you want and then making it happen for yourself. Sending so much love! Victoria x --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/love-ria/message
People bang on about work life balance and how it's the goal however when you're a mum in business what you need is to build in suspension which comes from mindset, understanding who you are and where you're going and letting things go a little more. Working in the flow a little and allowing yourself to be all in on various areas from time to time. It's all ok! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/love-ria/message
I went to bed early last night on a downer wondering what I'd done to a neighbour. It's the second time she's outwardly ignored me and I started to think all sorts..such as perhaps there is rumour going around and she can't even look at me.. apart from I know I don't do anything nearly as exciting which could start a rumour off .. we all have these thoughts but it's what we do with them that matters the most
As a mum life can feel crazy. We don't need piles of pressure and stress from our business on top. How can you make it easier for you to get the results you NEED now instead of catching your tail doing alllllll the things? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/love-ria/message
Stop missing out of life in a quest to get it all done as you're inbox will never be empty. It's ok for it not to happen over night
Remember to chose the plants that you wish to see in the garden you plan to grow old on. If you don't plant those seeds wisely then others weeds will take route and you will be left with a patch of soil covered in others weeds all fighting for space. You can't force things to grow but luckily all that is needed is for you to tend to the seeds with love. Water them, make sure they get plenty of light and then your job is done. If it grows then amazing but if not you have done all that you can. With love, Victoria x --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/love-ria/message
A quick chat about angels and our own internal belief systems. Here is my take on things after listening to Kyle Gray which is a renowned Angel expert. Would live to know what you think
Seriously lovely. Stop looking at the surface stuff here. Focus on the energy of where you are at and everything can change for you: just like it did for me in this personal story I share. I went from sick and anxious to feeling wonderful in a week and all because of a little tiny sugar “pill” . Hope you find it helpful --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/love-ria/message
I have an issue with the term alternative. What's alternative about using the earths resources in a more sustainable way? What's alternative about not wanting to kill yourself chasing more “stuff?” Surely that has to be normal?!

Welcome to 2020 lovely! Here is a little love note from me to say that it's ok not to be “on it” all the time and that just because it's January it's still ok to chill and rest if that's what you need. Sending you so much love. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/love-ria/message

Hey lovely, I'm writing today to explain how it feels to be depressed. It's not about tears it's about an emptiness which consumes you and can slowly eat into every part of your life. I've read recently that there is a correlation between your ability to connect to source and the depths of your depression and this is why I resist going on medication. The more this goes on the more tempted I become to take medication I also know there is a big part of me which wants to figure this out without and I'm scared that tablets will numb the part of me that is my ticket out of here. I'm ok but wanted to drop a little voice note to explain how it feels and offer some insights around it. Sending loads of love xx --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/love-ria/message
Today I'm asking you what you need to know right now? Whether it's leaning into some pain and asking what is there to tell you, whether you have some feelings that you can't quite understand, or perhaps you're just feeling lost. Of course you could also be feeling fantastic.... However you feel it's always good to check in and ask what you need to know right now. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/love-ria/message
Learning to be still without a plan is the hardest thing I've ever tried to do. But in order for me to get to where I want to be it seems I have no choice but to surrender. I seem to be being called for exciting things.. things I dint understand... so need to jump into the unknown without a plan or a deadline. I'm ready to live my life
Here is why things trigger you in to all sorts of emotions and what you need to do about it. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/love-ria/message
A little chat about the state of the world and how us sensitive souls can get hurt... but let's face it what doesn't kill us makes us stronger and after years of Wishing I wasn't sensitive I now am grateful for the rich experiences you get as a result. Your emotions are a powerful guide and without them you would be totally unconscious. Just wanted to give you a hug and tell you that this is life... but it doesn't have to hurt you for long. It's never personal
It's the second write it down Wednesday and today I want you to write down “what the most loving thing you can do for yourself?” Hugs lovely x --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/love-ria/message
So today I want to share a conversation that I had with someone last week around the struggle of social media. When your energy is quite peaceful and slow the last thing you want is something in your life that makes you ‘switch on' 24/7 , with the feeling that you'll never catch up and you're always behind. Social media operates at such a quick rate that for those of us who don't wish to be in that ‘high alert state' are naturally going to avoid it. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/love-ria/message
Today I talk about kid life crisis in women, how it looks and why we have them. It's not about fast cars .. it's about waking our sleeping souls up and not living from the predictable program. Hope it helps
Join Georgia and I chat about having depression when running a business. How social media can impact us and how we can talk ourselves around when we find ourselves slipping into that dark space. Georgia's Bio: Georgia Michalopoulou have worked for more than 10 years in the fashion industry but after the giving birth to her daughter she realised that working full time in Central London wasn't a good fit for her anymore. So she launched her own business called Stylish Mummy where she offers personal styling services and helps women feel and look amazing. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/love-ria/message
I spoke on Tuesday about how depressed I was feeling. I basically wanted life to end very briefly but not in an over the top way, in just an exhausted “I just want this to stop” way. But I lent into that feeling and those thoughts and within a couple of days I brought myself back out into feeling excited about life once again. I just want to share with you what I did in case it helps you to. Be strong lovely. There is nothing wrong with feeling down it's just a signpost that something needs to change. Lean in, listen and love yourself enough to give yourself what you need. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/love-ria/message
For our first “write it down Wednesday” I would like to ask you this question and explore what is stopping you from making this change and what what would your life look like if you were to change. It's just a mini little episode designed to get you thinking about your life to the start to take control over those thoughts. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/love-ria/message
I little thank you note from me to you. The fact you listen means more than you know and it's helps me to show up even when all I want to do is hide. It's important that we don't allow our thoughts to take over but it's also ok to dance in the dark for a little so we can lean in and listen to what needs to be heard. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/love-ria/message
Monday Motivation! Weather or not this is motivational I am not quite sure however I also know that knowing that it's not you, that you're not doing anything wrong and actually it's a much wider problem may give you the strength to keep on fighting for your dreams. So if you're new in business and things are very slow just know it's not always like this and things will turn around so just keep your head down keep going don't give up on that dream. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/love-ria/message
Following on from my post the other day I wanted to explore labels and what they mean. I've had enough of it.. how we try and lessen people with their use and try and pop people in boxes. Keep your labels and get me straight to the soul. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/love-ria/message
Have you ever been in the position where you know what you need to do in order to get what you want and you still don't do it? For instance if you know that you want to get fit and healthy then you are probably quite clear on the fact you just need to eat healthily and do exercise, however we can find every reason under the sun not to do these things which keeps us exactly where we are for years on end. The same can be applied to money and almost every aspect of our lives. And here is the reason I believe this happens. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/love-ria/message
Confidence is an about being in peoples faces, telling people to look at you, being loud, being gregarious. For me confidence is about having the inner strength, an inner knowing that we are here for more. That inner knowing that we can achieve anything we set our mind too, and that anything is possible for us. That doesn't mean that we have to be there telling the world loudly about all that we do. We can attract all that we want with a quiet confidence. Knowing that it's on its way to us and that we can relax and just be ... us even if we are quiet on the outside and appear completely un-confident because we know deep down that what we doing is living our truth and that's all that important. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/love-ria/message
Ive just taken a little look at where thosr thoughts come from and how if we dont learn to become stronger than those thoughts then we can end up repeating history over and over again. Is it time you updated your program? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/love-ria/message
This episode talks a little bit about the science behind our thoughts and how we become addicted to the chemicals produced through our habitual thinking over time. It is this which keeps us stuck. I hope the awareness over how this works helps you break free in the same way as it helped me. Wishing you the strength to pursue all that you wish to be, do and have. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/love-ria/message
Just wanted to share this little story of how I witnessed my son give up after just a couple of goes and how if this behaviour isn't dealt with it can follow it through into adult life and can really tamper with our dreams. What have you tried once or twice in your life, couldn't get right and so then gave up? You are capable of anything you set your mind to you just have to get through that learning stage and you can master it just like anybody else. You can do it! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/love-ria/message
Just wanted to ask you if you're working from flow or a task list which came straight out of your head? When we are so consumed in busy we have no idea how we can get from where we are to where we want to be and yet if we can learn to quieten the mind and not only hear the whispers but take inspired action as a result then our lives can change in a heart beat. I'd love to know what you think
I just wanted to drop in today to remind you to look back at how far you have come. Let's try and stop pushing ourselves up a hill as fast as we can and recognise that real change happens gradually over time. So gradually that it can often happen when you are not even looking... this just shows that we can give ourselves permission to relax into life and just allow it to develop in a beautiful way. Remember this is a journey and not a race to to the end. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/love-ria/message
Today's episode is talking around Theodore Roosevelt's quote “do you what you can, with what you have, where you are.” Basically Stop waiting until you have all the pieces of the puzzle or until you feel ready, because you never ever will. So just start now! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/love-ria/message
The moment you surrender and start to show up as all that you are then magic can begin. Stop hiding behind this mask that we have created so that we can fit in fit in with the masses, the mainstream and the madness. By bending ourselves out of shape in order to fit in with all of the above you can somehow lose sight of who we are, what we love, what makes us whole. So this podcast is a little reminder that it's okay, and it's perfectly safe, to show up as the whole you are and to drop all of the other stuff. And what makes it even better is that when you're able to do so you start to attract people into your life that were truly meant for you. Wishing you love light and happiness.

I'm not consistent and that's ok because I'm a creative instead. Stop beating yourself up and just know you are the way you are for a reason... just go with it and let the guilt go
A little insight into the drama that I'm living in in order to get a life that I want to live. Nothing about this is easy but then if it was it wouldn't be worth doing. The struggle that we have to go through in order to get to where we want to go is what makes it so exciting. I don't believe that we were born to have things simply land in our laps however social media is convincing us that this is the way it should be. It's okay for things not to be perfect in fact I think it's quite normal. I'd love to hear what you think and please don't forget to subscribe. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/love-ria/message

Seriously lovely.... sometimes we can thank our lucky stars that an offer flops. This is how I am feeling after putting out an offer for a membership called "The Peacock's Nest" at a crazy price of £20/month. I was planning on offering so much goodness inside and yet NO ONE BOUGHT. CRICKETS! Now this is the time many of us reach for the tissues and wonder why no one wants to buy from us and why we are not as good as everyone else who has sell out launches (p.s. they probably aren't!) However what we need to do is use it as a learning opportunity. Did we communicate what we were offering? Did we show the right people? Or... WAS IT RIGHT FOR US? When two mentors of mine saw that I had withdrawn it they both said "YES... THAT WAS TOO SMALL FOR YOU" imagine if I had tied myself up with a massive group of people who I would want to succeed as much as anyone else I work with for just £20.. My clients pay thousands for my support and guidance and I LOVE working with them on that deeper level. I feel they are all in and I am all in with them. That is where the magic is. For £20 how on earth could I offer any form of transformation. So THANK YOU for the failure. THANK YOU for the crickets and THANK YOU for the insight which I would have only received if I tried. Enjoy listening to todays episode and would love to know your thoughts. Victoria x --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/love-ria/message

This is inspired by the book I was reading today which you can see at: https://amzn.to/2KQ6CxB The bit I read this morning was talking about frenemies and how they can hurt our confidence and dampen our originality. I wanted to share my take away as I think it is a really important concept to be aware of... frenemies are not your friends. They are a confusing mix of friendly behavior and back stabbing antics which will leave even the strongest of us in a muddle over our feelings. Life is hard enough so ditch the frenemy and embrace the friends who make you strong and love to see you shine. They are the people who you need to focus on and your confidence will sky rocket.
