Love Bites with Laura & Guests

Laura is joined by Amanda St John - a songwriter, Music Mentor, Motivational Coach & TEDx Speaker. She has coached/mentored for over 15 years as well as having a successful music career with 2 albums, UK/Irish & USA tours, worldwide airplay (including BBC Radio 6 and RTE Radio 1), a major synch in an international advert campaign and she even sang for the US President in Washington DC. In this episode, we talk about how she only committed to her music career in her mid 30's after a near death experience in a car accident inspired her to reassess her life and finally follow her dreams. We also talk about the joys of dating, (especially online) in your 30's and how to manifest the life you want.

This episode with Deirdre Maguire is a beautiful, honest, and inspiring one. Deirdre has helped 1000's of people around the world "get happy" as she knows being happy is a skill, and one that we can all hone. At 67, it hasn't always been this way for Deirdre. She has come through some painfully dark times and it is her life's mission to bestow her knowledge, skills, and wisdom to the rest of the world, so we can fast track our happiness. Deirdre opens up about her father's struggle with alcohol, eventual suicide and the wider ramifications this had on her and her family. As always, I ask that you keep an open mind and a loving heart, without judgement. I hope this conversation inspires you and most of all, I hope we keep you company.

It is of course, Relationship Coach NI, Lisa Mcfarland. This week we talk about shame, and the shame that surrounds our own female bodies and how we feel shame around sex. Growing up we were made to feel ashamed of being sexual beings and how we’ve been conditioned to put our sexual pleasure on the back burner. Lisa talks us through her tips on how to overcome this, put shame to one side and start putting our pleasure first. Sponsors Huge shoutout to our incredibly empowering sponsors L'Couture.
