This is the first of my new Dear Lorraine Rapid Fire episode format - namely where I blast through a batch of listener questions.

This week, I’m answering these questions:


How Wade and I do our annual planning together


How to deal with Mum Guilt


Making friends after moving to a new town


Navigating overwhelm with kiddie playdates and activities

NB: I dive deeper into Mum Guilt in episode 228. 

I so hope you enjoy this new format, and thank you so much Bec, Sarah, Karene and Jess for your brilliant questions!

Standby for my next shout-out on Instagram (@lorrainemurphymentor) and I could be answering your question next time. 

Spots are filling up for my Bali retreat in May next year - find out about it here: lorrainemurphy.com.au/bali-retreat-may-2025

Dear Lorraine Rapid Fire: Goalsetting As a Couple, Mum Guilt, Making Friends & Kid Activity Overwhelm

You’ve probably guessed by now that I’m a big fan of goal setting!  Each year, I share my annual goals for three reasons:


To give you an idea of what a set of goals can look like


For epic public accountability for me!


I’m nosey and guessing you might be too ;-)

In this episode, I share my goals across family, home, romance, business and other categories. I hope you find them helpful as you set your own goals for 2025.

Enjoy!

Some things I mention in this episode: 

My Goal Setting Toolkit is available now!  It includes my Goal Setting Playbook - (with extra worksheets added since last year!), audio visualisations, a goal setting Spotify playlist, my weekly Plan Success toolkit, an affirmation library, a vision board tutorial and even design templates to make your goals pretty - and keep them front of mind!

$20 from every toolkit is going to Share the Dignity, a charity that supports vulnerable women in Australia.

Buy your toolkit right here: lorrainemurphy.com.au/goals. 

And… you can join me in Bali in May next year!  Find out more here: lorrainemurphy.com.au/bali-retreat-may-2025

 Get A Sneak Peek At My 2025 Goals…

I’ve got a special episode for you this week!  For the first time, I’m passing the mic to three guests on my recent Bali retreat to share their experiences with you.  

Hear from Mia, Karen and Carla as they recount their own individual journeys over the six days, including:


Their “why” for joining the retreat


What surprised them about the experience


My favourite moments with each of them on retreat


The experience of Mum Guilt when it comes to retreat


Tips for pre and post a retreat to get the most out of it 

I think so many listeners will resonate with what these three women share, and I hope that hearing their stories inspires and motivates you to prioritise time for YOU in 2025.

What is it REALLY like to go on my Bali retreat?!  

We’re heading into my version of Christmas… aka Goalsetting Season!!  

A question I get a LOT is how I do my annual goalsetting, so in this week’s episode I step you through it.

Goalsetting is SO MUCH MORE than rattling off a few achievements you want to make happen.  To really get the most out of it, it should be a structured process that includes reflection, holistic thinking, and specific actions that will get you that critical momentum.

I’ve refined this process over the last decade, and I’m pretty bloody proud of it by now.   I’m fresh from my own 2025 goalsetting, so I hope what I share in this week’s episode helps you with your own goals for next year.



In it, I share: 


The embarrassing story of how I discovered goalsetting


The specific step-by-step process I follow when setting my goals


How I take stock at the end of each year


The hack for helping visioning flow for my mentees (especially for those who struggle to “see” the future)


Why you must understand the concept of “be/do/have” in order to actualise your goals

Plus!

Exciting news!!  Today also marks the launch of my annual goalsetting offer… and this year it’s the biggest bundle ever.



It includes:


My Goal Setting Playbook - with extra worksheets added since last year


5 year vision guided visualisation 


1 year vision guided visualisation


Inspiring goalsetting Spotify playlist


Weekly Plan Success toolkit 


Affirmations toolkit


A “clear your blocks” hypnosis with Rachel Crethar 


How to create your vision board tutorial 


Canva templates to make your goals pretty - and front of mind!
