The Love Approach Project

Podcast & insights

Thinking out loud about meeting life differently.

Stories, conversations and practical perspectives on Emotional Fitness, human behaviour, self-trust, relationships, uncertainty — and the beautifully messy business of being human.

Some ideas need a podcast episode. Some need a few paragraphs. Some apparently need to be said into a phone immediately.

The podcast

Real stories. Honest conversations. No perfect humans required.

The Love Approach Project is a podcast about the beautifully messy business of being human.

Through real stories and honest conversations, we explore what happens when life doesn't go according to plan — the patterns we fall into, the resources we discover, what we learn about ourselves, and who we become along the way.

Because we may not always get to choose what life brings us. But we can learn to meet it differently.

A conversation with Yin Yoga teacher, meditation teacher and studio co-owner Em Cruikshank.

What happens when life doesn't go according to plan?

Sometimes the answer is overthinking. Sometimes it's control, people-pleasing, shutting down, pushing harder or falling back into something familiar.

Sometimes it's also growth, possibility, adventure or becoming someone we haven't quite learned how to be yet.

The interesting part is what those moments reveal — and what becomes possible when we notice them.

Awareness creates choice.

In the wild

The conversation continues…

Shorter thoughts, questions, observations — and the occasional thing I apparently needed to say into my phone immediately.

Monday Mindset

One thought for the week ahead.

A short note from Laura every Monday exploring human behaviour, Emotional Fitness, self-trust, relationships and the things life has a habit of teaching us when we weren't necessarily asking for a lesson.

No seven-step morning routine required.

A few minutes to notice something differently before the week runs away with you.

You don't need to have life figured out to get curious about how you're meeting it.

Notice something. Question something. Try something differently.

Awareness creates choice.
