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.

Love Bites Recommends - Diary of a CEO with Ramit Sethi

https://open.spotify.com/episode/66u9QEG5Vt2lSnqDpNRTpU

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.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for tuning into Episode 1, Season 4 of Love Bites. I know this has been long overdue and I genuinely appreciate your patience and all your lovely messages of encouragement- they were the kick up the ass I needed.

It's been a crazy few months and I really needed the break. I talk about this on today's podcast, and I'll elaborate further in the weeks/months to come.

Today I am joined by my great friend Ciara Daly. What a woman she is! We talk about all the things including overcoming fear and procrastination, and the immense power of plant medicines, that have completely changed Ciara's life.
