Hi lovely,
Ooh we loved recording today’s episode!
We got together to reflect on 7 years of running 28 days of love, our self love challenge that we’ve been running on Instagram since Valentine’s day (have you been doing it with us?).
Every year we do this challenge, we discover something new about ourselves on our self love journey and our understanding of self love deepens each time.
If you’ve been doing 28 days of love with us (yay!) then we‘d love to hear how it’s been for you and what lessons you’re taking away from it. And if you’d like to start the challenge then you can do it anytime - simply head over here and download your free PDF guide to getting started (plus you’ll also find a big list of ideas to inspire you). It’s a great one to do with friends!
Whether you’re new to self love or you are wanting to deepen your practice, we hope these lessons will inspire you on your own self love journey.
EXCITING NEWSPlus in the episode, you’ll hear us celebrating that we have a brand new journal that is being released TODAY!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Goodbye 30s, Hello 40s is a reflective journal with prompts, exercises and inspirational quotes to help you to reflect meaningfully on your life as you step from one decade into the next.
Selina first designed it for herself when she turned 40 and it was such a beautiful and powerful experience that we decided to create one that everyone can do when they turn the big 4 0
And so finally…here it is! 🎉🎉🎉
Goodbye 30s Hello 40s takes you on a reflective journey that helps you to say a proper farewell to a decade of your life as it comes to an end and helps you to create a beautiful and lasting record of that decade through memories, lessons learnt, milestones achieved and blank pages where you can add several photos from each year.
By the end of it you will have created a bespoke book celebrating and documenting a decade of your life that you can keep forever.
So if you or someone you love is waving goodbye to their thirties and stepping into a fresh new decade then you can order your Goodbye 30s Hello 40s copy today!
>>> Order your copy now!
In the meantime, we hope you enjoy today’s episode!
And be sure to join us for next month’s episode as we have a big announcement to make! We’ll see you then.
So much love,

Hi lovely,
Happy New Year! How has the start of the year been for you? And what are the dreams you want to bring to life and the intentions you are setting for 2022?
If you’ve got one of our Goodbye 2021, Hello 2022 journals, then get yours out and join us as we reflect on the lessons we’ve each learnt this year from filling out our journals, what our own dreams and intentions are for 2022 and how we’ve been navigating some difficult times of late, because let’s face it, it HAS been a difficult time for many of us and that is even more reason to set intentions for 2022 that have us filling it with the things we love.
So let’s dive into this month’s episode and say a proper HELLO to 2022 together 🤗
X Selina and Vicki

Well here we are.. nearly at the end of 2021 and oof, what a year it’s been.
It’s been another rollercoaster year hasn’t it? Full of ups and downs, twists and turns and everything in between.
For many of us, it’s been a tough and challenging one and so if you’re feeling exhausted, fatigued and a bit fed up as 2021 draws to a close then you’re certainly not alone!
In this month’s podcast, we invite you to join us for a virtual hug 💛and an end-of-year reflection, as we look back at some of the lessons learnt and positive actions taken, despite everything that 2021 has brought our way.
If you have your Goodbye 2020, Hello 2021 journal then why not take yourself on a self love date to fill in the final reflection (the final reflection at the back is a new addition to the journal!).
As always, we find these conversations so nourishing and gorgeous. They are great reminders to take a pause and acknowledge just how much we’ve been through this year - both collectively and individually.
As we say in the Goodbye, Hello journal, if there were dreams and goals that didn’t come into fruition this year then be gentle with yourself. A lot of dreams have had to be put on hold over the past two years so that we could focus on looking after ourselves and those we love in the pandemic.
Getting through it has been an achievement enough so be compassionate towards yourself lovely one.
Sending you so much love and we hope you enjoy the episode.
Lots of love,
Vicki and Selinaxxx

Hi lovely,
This will be our last episode until after the summer! We’ll be back in September but we’ll be doing things a little differently. Or rather, we’re going full circle and returning to how we used to do the Project Love podcasts when we began seven years ago!
As of September we’ll be recording a podcast episode for you once a month, just the two of us. We are closing the chapter on weekly episodes and inviting guests onto the podcast. Not because we haven’t loved it - it has truly been life changing (as we share in today’s episode) - but because we are both working on new and exciting projects - online courses, podcasts and another journal (watch this space) - and we needed to create space to focus on these new adventures, so that we don’t burn out in the process. Our time is finite. We can do it all, but sometimes we have to change how we do it so we can fit everything in and still thrive ;)
And so in today’s episode we look back on seven years of Project Love podcast episodes so far and some of our favourite episodes where guests have joined us to dive deep into fascinating conversations about life and love and how the power of some of these conversations has truly shaped the course of our lives.
And we’ll also be sharing more about the exciting new projects we’re both up to, this year and next.
And while we’re away for the summer, you have over 105 hours of Project Love podcasts that you can listen to and can browse by topic over on the Project Love website. And we’d love for you to stay in touch with us as we carry on with our journeys...
Stay in touch with Vicki!To stay in touch with Vicki, be first to hear about her online course and enjoy her weekly love letter, join her newsletter over at https://vickipavitt.com/sundaylove
Stay in touch with Selina!To stay in touch with Selina, join her if you haven’t already on her weekly mini-podcast - the Monday Crew - you can join for free over at https://www.selinabarker.com/themondaycrew (and you’ll get her Weekly Life Design Check-in tool the moment you sign up!)

Hello lovely,
It’s Vicki here, with a gorgeous podcast episode for you!
I had the privilege of sitting down with a fellow lover of love, Natasha Lunn, to talk about her new book Conversations on Love (which is INCREDIBLE!)
I love every single second of reading it. No exaggeration!
Each page offers a deeper understanding of what it means to love and be loved and what it means to live a life of meaning. I felt so in love reading it, which Natasha tells me was one of her aims with the book.
The book features interviews with the likes of Alain De Botton, Phillipa Perry, Esther Perel, Candice Carty Williams, Poorna Bell, Dolly Alderton, Roxane Gay, Diana Evans and many many more. It’s centered around three main questions (which we talk all about in the episode):
How do we find love? How do we sustain it? And how do we survive when we lose it?
I first met Natasha back in 2018 and I learn something new about love every time I talk to her. She speaks about love with such reverence and wisdom. Speaking with her is always SUCH a treat. And I just know you’re going to love this episode ❤️❤️❤️
As well as being a writer and author, Natasha is also the features director at Red magazine.
Conversations on Love is available now (it actually just came out today!!!) and you can grab your copy here. I know I’m going to be buying it for so many friends this Summer!
I love love loved this conversation with Natasha and I can’t wait for you to listen to it. To find out more about Natasha, head over here and she is on Instagram here.
As always, if you loved this episode, please do let us know by leaving a 5 star rating wherever you listen to your podcasts.
So much love, Vicki x -
It’s Selina here and this week I have a truly special episode.
Because this week you hear me diving deep into conversation with one of Vicki and my greatest friends, Bexy Cameron - a writer, creative director and film-maker who was raised in a notorious sex cult, escaped in her teens and then returned to cults as an adult to understand what leads people, like her parents, to join them in the first place.
Her memoir, 'Cult Following', is out TODAY. It has been celebrated by The Guardian and The Times, who described it as ‘defiantly NOT a misery memoir’ and it is currently being turned into a film by Dakota Johnson.
So in this special episode you’ll hear Bexy and me diving deep into conversation about:
- Some of the pivotal moments in her life that lead her to where she is today.
- An extraordinary and magical coincidence that profoundly shaped her life.
- What has helped her rise up out of such a dark childhood and create such a truly happy life.
- And what it was like finding her voice so that she could tell her story.
I hope you enjoy this moving episode and Bexy’s story. And if you want to read Bexy’s book, you can order it here.
Lots of love,
Selina -
Hi lovely,
Well here we are, at the end of another quarter of 2021!
How have the last 3 months been for you?
We don’t know about you but we both felt like we really needed a check-in, to take stock and reflect on how we’re feeling and how the last few months have been and so this quarterly check-in was just the tonic!
In this week’s episode, we invite you to do your quarterly check-in with us and to take a moment to pause and reflect on how you’re feeling and what you’ve been experiencing over these past few months.
Grab your Goodbye 2020, Hello 2021 journal if you have one and fill in the quarterly check-in section. And feel free to share the journal questions with a friend and do your check-in together or as a group - it’s always so nourishing to talk through your answers with a trusted friend.
Here below are links to some of the things we mentioned:
Selina’s Monday Crew (weekly podcast and life design check-in tool - delivered to your inbox each Monday!)Vicki’s Sunday Love Letter (a love letter on all things dating and relationships sent every Sunday eve!)Donna Lancaster’s wonderful ‘Deepening into Life’ programme that Selina is doing and loving.All About Love by Bell HooksLove in Colour by Bolu BabalolaConversations on Love by Natasha Lunn Selina Van Orden, an amazing Ayurvedic Practitioner that Vicki has been working with | https://www.atyourbest.one/ and https://www.instagram.com/_atyourbest/ Nova Reid’s powerful Anti Racism course The Power of Privilege by June Sarpong
We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did recording it!
So much love,Vicki & Selina xxx -
Hi lovely,
It’s Vicki here with a brand new podcast episode for you 🤗
And it’s such a treat of an episode as I got to interview the wonderful Dr Sophie Mort aka Dr Soph.
Dr Soph is a clinical psychologist with a personal mission to get psychology out of the therapy room and into people’s lives in a way that works for them.
In this episode we talk about her brilliant new book ‘A Manual for Being Human’ - a book that I absolutely loved! It’s so practical - it’s packed full of super useful tools and techniques that you can start using right away - and it’s also full of love and compassion too. Dr Soph is like a really kind, wise and loving friend who can reassure you, empower you and teach you practical tools to help you to move forward. But who is also a doctor!
She has an Undergraduate degree in Psychology, a Masters in Neuroscience and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology and has worked on the frontline at London’s Homerton Hospital. Realising the system wasn’t working for so many people, she left behind her traditional role as a clinical psychologist in the NHS and has helped thousands manage their emotional wellbeing by sharing her psychological knowledge on Instagram, her blog and through her online private practice.
She is also an expert for the mindfulness app, ‘Happy Not Perfect’ and has been featured in global outlets including Vice Magazine, Girlboss, Psych Central, Well + Good and Elite Daily.
In the episode we talk about:
The childhood experiences that shape us Why we struggle and why we have down days Emotions, their purpose and how to manage them so they don’t overwhelm usEmotional intelligence - what it is and how it can improve our health and relationships The power of understanding your attachment style (inc Soph’s personal experience of having an avoidant attachment style)What self care looks like in times of stress, grounding exercises for overwhelm and so much more!
Talking to Sophie was such a treat, it really brightened up what was a very grey, rainy day, in London when we recorded!
A Manual for Being Human is out on 8th July and you can pre-order it here :)
And to find out more about Dr Soph then her website is here and her Insta is here.
I hope you enjoy the episode!
So much love, Vicki
PS here is the emotions wheel we mentioned and here is a link to an attachment style quiz too. -
Hi lovely,
It’s Selina here this week with a deep, inspiring and juicy conversation for you all about finding your voice, with the queen of heart-felt expression, Nicola Rae Wickham.
I’ve known Nicola for a number of years now and every time I sit down in a conversation with her, whether it is just between us or recording a podcast episode to share, she always brings a depth, warmth, wisdom and power to it that leaves me inspired and moved and this week’s conversation has to have been the most powerful to date.
In case you don’t know Nicola, she is an award-winning coach and mentor, founder of ‘A Life More Inspired’ and host of the ‘Dream and Do’ podcast. In her own words she is ‘on a mission to help big-hearted (deep thinking and big feeling) creatives find, use and amplify their voice and make a real WHOLEHEARTED and positive impact in the world.’
And wow, does she lead by example. Over the past 18 months I have witnessed Nicola step into her power in a whole new way, find her voice and use it to make a positive impact both in her business, her own life and the world around her.
In this episode we talk about:
Finding her voice in business and how she learnt to attract her ideal clientsFinding her voice and speaking her truth as a black woman during Black Lives Matter and ever sinceThe healing power of speaking your truthThe importance of being discerning around WHO your share your truth withWhy people-pleasers in particular struggle with finding their voiceTips on how to start practicing speaking your own truth
We also used the conversation as a chance to reflect together on each of our healing around racism over the past year, the work we have both done with Nova Reid to help us with that healing and what we are each committing to doing moving forward to carry on with that healing.
I am so looking forward to you hearing this conversation. If you enjoy it, please leave a 5 star review for us. It makes such a difference.

If you’re going through change or growth in your life at the moment (or plan to soon), then today’s episode is for you.
While we love to encourage people to go after their dreams and create the lives, careers and relationships they love, it’s important to know what to expect on that journey of change. Because it is a rollercoaster ride and noone is immune to the vulnerability hangovers, shitty committee attacks and feelings of overwhelm and loneliness.
And THAT is what we are discussing this week as we share how recent experiences of change and growth in our own lives reminded us of just how discombobulating it can all be, but also how valuable it is to know what to expect on the change journey and how to navigate the emotional rollercoaster that is an unavoidable part of it.
In it we mention Donna Lancaster's new programme: Deepening into Life - which Selina has just started and cannot recommend more (she's not an affiliate, she just LOVES it).

Hi lovely,
This week’s episode is dedicated to those of you who are feeling a little anxious and apprehensive about dating post-lockdown.
Here in the UK, restaurants have just opened up again and restrictions have been easing over the last few weeks. But even if this is a change you’d been looking forward to and waiting for, it’s only natural that it would come with some anxiety and apprehension too.
In this week’s episode, I share my 3 steps to calm dating-post-lockdown anxiety, so that you can date with more confidence and ease in this new chapter.
I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed creating it for you :)
Meditation to calm pre-date nerves.And I have a free gift for you! Simply pop your details over here and I’ll send you my meditation to calm pre-date nerves. It’s a great one for your dating + self care toolkit. You’ll also get my weekly love letter each and every Sunday (yay!) ❤️
If you’re already signed up then your free gift will be enclosed in this Sunday’s love letter!
And lastly, here is the podcast on Boundaries that I mentioned in the episode too.
Sending you so much love.

Hi lovely,
It’s Selina here this week with a gorgeous and soothing conversation that is guaranteed to have you breathing a sigh of relief and calm, because I got to dive deep into conversation with the queen of self-care, Suzy Reading.
Suzy is a mother of two, an author, Chartered Psychologist and Coach. She specialises in self-care, helping people manage their stress, emotions, and energetic bank balance. I have always loved her first book ‘The Self-Care Revolution’ and now she has written another, equally powerful book: ‘Self-Care for Tough Times’. Reading it was like receiving a warm and soothing hug and talking with Suzy filled me with so much love and comfort and I hope hearing the conversation will do the same for you. In this episode we talk about:
Why so many of us can find ourselves resisting self-care (and what to do about it)Why parents, particularly mothers, feel guilt around needing time to themselves away from the kids What self-care looks like during tough times (and why it can be different to self-care during normal times)Our innate capacity to self soothe and heal when we go through tough timesWhy we are both head over heals in love with managing your energyThe importance of going gently and tenderly with ourselves as we come out of lockdown As always, if you loved this episode, please do let us know by leaving a 5 star rating wherever you listen to your podcasts.

Hi lovely,
It is almost here!!! 🎉🎉🎉 Selina’s book ‘Burnt Out: the exhausted person’s six-step guide to thriving in a fast-paced world’ will finally be out in the world next Thursday, 15th April!!!
Woop woop!! I am so SO excited for you to get your hands on it!
If you’re feeling frazzled, exhausted and burnt out right now then THIS is the book that will love you into recovery and get you onto the path to thriving.
And fast!
Selina supported me on my own journey from burnt out to thriving and it was utterly transformational! And now with this book, you can go on your own journey of burnt out to thriving too 💃🏻 💃🏻 💃🏻
Each chapter of this book is like sitting down for a 1:1 session with Selina - packed full of so much wisdom, insight and encouragement and so much love and joy too!
One of the many (many!) things that I loved about ‘Burnt Out’ is it’s radical message (reclaim your energy, reclaim your life) and also it’s radical SIMPLICITY too. It is so deeply practical and full to the brim with powerful coaching tools and techniques that you can start implementing straight away. It is genius!
🎉And so to celebrate the arrival of Selina’s book, she joins me on the podcast as my very special guest! 🎤
In this episode we talk about:Why so many of us are burning out and how COVID has had many of us emotionally burning out this past yearWhat the Burnout Archetypes are (and how to identify what yours is)Why we need to learn to manage our energy Olympic athlete styleHow even if you love what you do you can end up burnt outAnd how Selina helped me break free from burn out as she wrote the book

Hello lovely,
Well here we are, at the end of the first quarter of 2021 (already!).
It’s been 12 months now since the first lockdown here in the UK and we are very much looking forward to stepping into a new quarter and starting a new chapter in the year.
As we step into spring, it has felt incredibly cathartic to hit pause and take a moment to sit back, take stock and reflect on how the last 3 months have been for us.
Join us for this week’s episode, as we talk about our commitments, our happiest moments, our most challenging moments (and everything in between!).
Grab your Goodbye 2020, Hello 2021 journal if you have one or simply answer the questions as we go through them. And if you haven’t yet got your copy of the Goodbye, Hello journal then it’s not too late! You can grab your copy here.
As always, we find these quarterly reflections to be so nourishing and we hope you do too 😍
Join the love-inWe’d love to invite you to join us live next week on Tuesday 6th April at 6.30pm (BST) on Zoom for our quarterly Project Love love-in. They are gorgeous - a chance for us all to pause and reflect on these past 3 months and to set our intentions and commitments for the following quarter. Sign up here to join us.
We hope you enjoy the episode!
So much love,

Hi lovely,
Here at Project Love, we love to share and celebrate real love stories.
We love to go beneath the surface and have deep and meaningful conversations with people about their relationships, looking at things like; how they support each other to grow, how they navigate challenges, how they make love last and the lessons they’re learning along the way.
It’s in hearing people’s real love stories, that we can learn so much about love and what it takes for a relationship to thrive.
And this week’s episode is one of those episodes! It’s a real love story with the wonderful Lisa Pascoe, who reflects on her beautiful love story with her wife Bekky.
What I found so inspiring about Lisa and Bekky’s love story is their daily commitment to each other. In Lisa’s words, “everyday we recommit to the relationship we’re in, by choosing to be in that relationship”. How beautiful is that?
Lisa is an intuitive life coach and she brings invaluable advice and wisdom on life and love to this episode. She is all about being who you are and not who the world tells you to be. This message is at the heart of her podcast, Bravehearts Rising. And it’s really at the heart of this episode too.
In the episode, Lisa shares her experience of coming out, back in the 90’s when people only talked about the first three letters of LGBTQ+ and her journey to self acceptance. In her work, Lisa supports empaths, highly sensitive women and LGBTQ+ folks to slow down, hit the reset button and have a kinder, gentler relationship with themselves. She does this through 1:1 coaching (both online and in nature), wellbeing workshops and nourishing circles.
To find out more about Lisa and her wonderful work, head here www.lisapascoe.com (she’s also on Instagram here).
I loved recording this episode with Lisa.
I hope you enjoy it!
Love, Vicki x
PS here is the Brene Brown podcast episode we mentioned, it was actually Brene on Tim Ferris’s podcast (she also has a brilliant podcast called Unlocking Us) -
Hi lovely, It’s Selina here and this week I have an episode that I guarantee will put a grin on your face and a fire in your belly. I was buzzing with inspiration and love after this conversation. I interviewed the incredible Brita Fernandez Schmidt about her new book ‘Fears to Fierce’. If you are a woman, or identify as a woman, then I cannot recommend this book more. It is a rallying call for all womxn to rise up, step into their power and become the leader in their own lives and the world around them. Brita herself is an incredibly inspiring woman, so full of love, wisdom and fierce beautiful power. She is Executive Director of Women for Women International and for 25 years has been championing women’s rights across the world. She is Chair of a network Gender Action for Peace and Security. She frequently writes and publicly speaks about the challenges women face all over the world, particularly in the context of poverty and conflict. Brita also works as a coach to support women to find their fierce. She is a living legend. Reading Brita’s book was a truly transformative experience for me and so was connecting with Brita and having this conversation with her. I can’t wait for you to listen to it! And if you want to buy the book, you can get Fears to Fierce at all good book shops, on and offline.
