A catch-up episode this week, where I fill you in on:

• The spacious family time I was craving
• One of the biggest breakthroughs with my new business coach
• An important question to ask yourself if you’ve been in business for a while
• A new event announcement!

As I share in the episode, my new event format - Success Without Sacrifice - is taking place in Sydney on Tuesday 5th August. It’s for you if you want a thriving, profitable business and the freedom, energy, and joy that comes with true success.

This will be my only in person event in 2025, and I’d love to have you join me! Find out more at lorrainemurphy.com.au/sws.

I’ve followed intimacy coach Eleanor Hadley for years now, and one of my 2025 goals was to work with her one-on-one.

Fresh from our coaching time together, I invited her to come on the show to pass on some of the biggest aha moments I had with her… and also to answer your burning questions on all things pleasure, intimacy and sex.

Eleanor is an award-winning certified sex educator, speaker and writer. She offers 1:1 sexuality and embodiment coaching and practical sex education courses.

She has also just released a new online program called Lust & Libido, which she is very generously offering my listeners a 20% discount for. Go to eleanorhadley.com/libido and use code LORRAINE!

In our conversation, Eleanor and I cover:

• Her background and how she came to do the work she does
• What exactly an intimacy coach does!
• The most common blocks she sees women having when it comes to intimacy
• Her clever metaphor for how our beliefs around sex are formed
• The “Madonna Whore Dichotomy” and how it relates to mothers
• If it’s possible to regain the spark if it's gone from a relationship
• The importance of setting the right context for sex, and what the "checklist" is for that
• The concept of brakes and accelerators when it comes to desire
• Sex post baby - “how to give a f*ck about giving a f*ck” (exact words from a listener Q )
• The top toys she recommends

A book Eleanor highly recommends is Come As You Are, by Emily Nagowski.

This week we celebrated an exciting milestone in my business - my Bold Darling Mastermind turned 3!

I conceived the idea for it in a Bali cafe in September 2019… however I didn’t bring it to the world until April 2022.

It has been wildly successful as an addition to my business.

It enables me to help more women than I could ever have doing solely one-on-one mentoring, member retention is sky high, and it has created predictable - and epic - revenue in my business ($600k!!).

In this week’s episode, I share the ten biggest lessons I’ve had in running a successful mastermind: from member experience and pricing, to inclusions and mindset.

Biggest love and thanks to all our incredible Bold Darling members, the stellar experts who join us every single month, and to my team for loving on our members and helping them feel seen and cared for.

Doors to Bold Darling will be opening again in August - to get on the waitlist, go to: bolddarling.com.

This week I’m interviewing a guest who I’ve been wanting to get on the show for years!

Meet publishing supremo Fiona Hazard. Fiona has been in the book publishing business for over 25 years, both in Australia and in the UK, and has worked with a diverse range of authors and illustrators to help them share their stories with readers around the world.

Previously Group Publishing Director for Hachette Australia & New Zealand, she is now Head of Strategy & Development for independent publisher Keeperton and a board member for Writing NSW.

Fiona led the publication of my four books in her role at Hachette Australia, and I’ve been fascinated speaking to her about how quickly the publishing industry is developing, and how more accessible than ever it is to get your work published as a result. It’s an exciting time to be an author!

In myself and Fiona’s chat, we cover:

• The biggest block she sees people having writing - and publishing - a book
• Whether you should just go ahead and write or decide on how to publish it first
• The different publishing options - self-publish vs go with a publisher (and other options in between!)
• What you need to get a book deal with a publisher
• What KDP is and how it’s revolutionising the publishing industry
• What kind of authors tend to do well with self publishing
• If it's possible to actually make money from books nowadays
• Which route she would choose if she was a first-time author now
• The resources she recommends to authors researching their publishing options
• The hot genres to watch in publishing

The show is back! This week I’m debriefing on my recent launch for my Bold Darling Mastermind.

As with every launch, there were some major learnings and curve balls - which I’m passing on to you in this episode.

I cover:

• Why I moved the launch from its usual spot
• The dire performance of my key lead magnet
• How I pivoted and reimagined the launch
• How well a “shoulder tap strategy” works in my business
• The BTS elements that made the launch challenging
• How my Operations Manager nailed testimonials
• The results we got
• What we’ll do differently next time

I hope this helps you with some ideas if you’re launching within your business this year, or if you’d just like some juicy BTS insights on how these things come together.
