Yay, a Dear Lorraine episode!  

This week, I’m responding to listener Carmen’s challenge - she’s starting a business and needs to start showing up on social media… which terrifies her.

Listen in for my response to her, including:
My greatest lessons from being in the social media space for 12 years
Some powerful reframes to give yourself permission to show up 
The 3 things I would do if I was starting over tomorrow



I also mention three exciting events coming up:

My Bold Brilliance Strategy Retreat in Melbourne is happening on 31st July: lorrainemurphy.com.au/bold-brilliance-melbourne

My Bali retreat is happening again in October: lorrainemurphy.com.au/retreat-2024


And I’m hosting an Australian retreat in November: lorrainemurphy.com.au/haven

Dear Lorraine: I Need To Show Up On Social Media & I Hate It!

I’ve got a reflective and very honest episode for you this week!

To celebrate my upcoming Bold Breakthrough training, I’m sharing my five greatest breakthroughs in my 12 years of business.

Listen in to find out:
The step I wish I’d taken from day 1 in my business journey
How I came dangerously close to not having a business anymore in 2013
Why I always see coaching as an investment, not an expense
The money blocks I’ve needed to work through
The freakishly counterintuitive rule that’s been consistent in all my businesses, and those of my mentees
How - at my essence - I’m actually very fucking lazy 
The biggest mistake I made in the early years of this second business
The simple model that has transformed my business… and my life
How your energy as a biz owner is electricity - and the pros and cons of that
Why I don’t buy into the idea of pure business success

Some resources I share in this episode are: 
Follow money mindset coach Denise Duffield-Thomas
Read “A Happy Pocket Full of Money” by DC Gikandi
Read the books of Florence Scovel Shinn (I loved “The Wisdom of Florence Scovel Shinn”)

My 5 Greatest Breakthroughs in Business

This week I’m talking about one of my FAVOURITE things to do - namely, go on and host retreats!  

I get a lot of questions from my community on how I approach my own time away from the busy-ness of everyday life and business, so I’m addressing them in this episode.

I cover:
The greatest benefits to having a retreat
How to know if you’re in need of one
How to choose the ideal location for your retreat
The importance of setting intentions 
How I ensure I actually rest on retreat (this is not easy for me!)
The hack that will ensure you get double the value from your retreat time
Why healing isn’t all unicorns and glitter 
The random new things I’ve tried on retreats, and why you should do the same
My advice to women considering going on retreat with friends or family
How I keep my retreat experience alive once I’m home

I hope this episode helps you if you’re considering a retreat - whether that’s a self-guided one, or one that’s hosted for you. 

I also share the dates for my upcoming 2024 retreats…. And [drum roll!] the one and only Bali retreat I’ll be hosting in 2025.

My Tips For Planning A Perfect Retreat For Yourself

This week’s episode will resonate with most of you business owners listening!  Ness Hartge is a VIP member of my Bold Darling Mastermind.  

She has run her book-keeping business, The Bush Bookkeeper, from rural NSW for the last three years.  

Just a year ago, she was in the thick of overwhelm / start-up stress / wearing all the hats… and not exactly LOVING entrepreneur life!  

In her words, she was a “slave to the business”. 

In October last year, she attended my Bali retreat and had some major breakthroughs that have completely changed the trajectory of her business, and her life as a result.

In this week’s episode, she generously unpacks those breakthroughs for the benefit of those listening who are currently experiencing those pain points. 

Expect a heart opening, raw and inspiring conversation!



We cover: 
The “before” and “after” of her life and business over the last 12 months
The lightbulb moments she had a year ago
The very first thing she did to change her situation 
Establishing boundaries with clients - what she’s done, how she’s handled it, and the difference it has made
Reviewing, and increasing, her prices 
What success looks like for her now



You can connect with Ness via Instagram - @thebushbookkeeper. 

You can join me for my next Bali retreat this coming October, from Monday 21st to Saturday 26th October.  There are just a handful of private and twin spots remaining.  Find out more here: lorrainemurphy.com.au/retreat-oct-2024

And you can join Ness in my Bold Darling Mastermind from next month - doors open in September!
