Transcribe →903. LA Friday Diary
5d ago00:17:50Tap to summarizeRighto, this week’s been a goodie. I had a really fun audition that was set in the 70’s and called for a New York accent. I was lucky, I had a week to work on this script (usually you get a day or 2), so I worked with my dialect coach to get some help with the NY accent. Building the set and costume was so much fun! I didn’t realise that a lot of my wardrobe can transform into 70’s boho pretty easily. I even wore my Grandpa’s watch from 1971 and my Nan’s jewellery to really get into the era. My Nan’s ring especially felt like it suited this character (I posted a couple of pics onto my Substack feed of the look and vibe I went for).Here’s the truth though, over the past month. I’ve put up a handful of auditions I truly thought I’d be a good fit for. I’ve given them my all, and sent them off into casting ether. I’m sure I’ve mentioned this before, but if you dont get the gig, you dont get feedback, you dont even get a “No” you just get silence, nothing, an air sandwich. So this week I really grappled with self doubt before I sent this audition off. I had a big old cry in my therapy session and I learnt that most of my fears are total bullshit. But even as I hit send yesterday, I still felt like a failure, I still doubted myself, even though I know I gave it everything. I have no idea if that feeling ever leaves you as an artist, but one thing I do know about myself is that, even with bucket loads of doubt, I still submitted the tape, so to me, that’s a win. Moving forward, despite the fear.So maybe as creatives that’s all we need to do, feel the fear and do it anyway…Big LoveLola xp.s i also did an oracle card reading for you at the very end of this diary ep! Hope it resonates with you, there's some goodies in there! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Transcribe →902. Fearlessly Failing: 108 Days to Form a New Habit
1w ago00:22:39Tap to summarize108 DAYS - why its a biggieI've almost hit 108 days of meditation and my naturopath Jad reminded me that its a spiritually significant number.. here's a couple of reasons why: In yoga, 108 is a sacred number that represents wholeness, transformation, and our connection to the universe. Its meaning has been woven through centuries of spiritual tradition, reminding us that every breath, movement, and intention is part of something greater.A traditional mala holds 108 beads, guiding mantra meditation one prayer at a time, and many yogis honor life's transitions by practicing 108 Sun Salutations—a moving meditation that invites release, renewal, and presence.There is also a beautiful cosmic connection: the average distance from Earth to the Sun is about 108 times the Sun's diameter, and the average distance from Earth to the Moon is about 108 times the Moon's diameter. While these are approximate relationships, they have long inspired the idea that the same patterns found in the heavens are reflected within us.Whether you see 108 as sacred geometry, ancient wisdom, or a symbolic reminder of our place in the cosmos, it invites us to return to ourselves—again and again—with intention, devotion, and an open heart.So if this resonates with you, how about you set the goal of a micro habit for 108 days consecutively? Let me know how you go! Big LoveLola Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

If you’ve been following along on Instagram, you already know the massive news… after almost nine beautiful years together, we officially got ENGAGED earlier this year! 💍✨Stepping into this brand-new chapter has us reflecting on everything it takes to go the distance as a couple. Love isn't a destination; it's a constant, beautiful discovery. Whether you are on date number three, navigating the early years, or sitting at year nine like us, the secret to keeping the spark alive is staying curious about the person sitting across from you.So in today's episode, we are skipping the small talk and diving straight into the deep end. Grab your partner, pour a cozy drink, and use these 12 deep-diving questions from today’s show to map out your own path, strengthen your connection, and see how well you really know each other:This was such a fun one to record, but shout out and thank you to Teddy Bell from https://www.marriedbyateddy.com/ who kindly gifted us these conversation cards.Here are the 12 questions we unpacked today:If we could live anywhere in the world for a year after the wedding, where would you choose and why?What does our "perfect ordinary day" look like to you?If our love story were a film, what genre would it be?What part of our future excites you the most right now?If we wrote a letter to ourselves to open in 10 years, what would you hope it says?What personal dream of yours feels closer now that we're getting married?If we had no limits: time, fear, money - what would you most want us to experience together?How do you imagine us growing - individually and together - over the next 5 years?What does "a good life" actually mean to you?What do you hope never changes about us?Tell me something about you that people often misunderstand?What part of your personality are you most proud of?This Week's Listener Challenge: Don't read these questions to each other ahead of time! It was so fun flying blind in these questions, less thinking and more just being in the moment. Sit down tonight, hit record on your phone just for yourselves, and answer them completely raw and unedited. You might be surprised by what you learn! We absolutely loved it! If you liked this ep and you want another just like it, let me know, there's a lot more questions in this deck of cards.Connect with the Show: Enjoyed this episode?

Transcribe →898. Fearlessly Failing: Finding Your Dharma
3w ago00:29:42Tap to summarizeRighto - We have a Solo ep today! We're talking all things: DHARMA Ever feel like you’re doing everything "right" on paper, but you still feel strangely disconnected? 🌀 In today’s episode, we are diving deep into the yogic concept of Dharma—your unique cosmic blueprint and life purpose. Spoiler alert: It’s not just a job title. Finding your purpose isn't about creating something new from scratch; it’s about remembering who you have always been. Grab a journal, find a quiet space, and use these five deep-diving questions from today's episode to map out your own path:1. The Focus CheckThe Question: What do people consistently ask you for help with?The Reflection: We are often blind to our own zone of genius because it feels easy to us. Look at your text messages and your friendships—what is the specific energy or skill the world naturally seeks from you?2. The Heartbreak CompassThe Question: What is a specific problem in the world that moves you to tears or makes your blood boil?The Reflection: Dharma is rarely just fluffy, happy thoughts; it is often born out of a holy frustration. Your purpose is intimately tied to something you feel called to heal, fix, or protect.3. The Envy DecoderThe Question: Whose life or career do you secretly envy, and why?The Reflection: Don't shame yourself for jealousy, just decode and understand it. Envy is actually a map showing you your own unlived potential. Are you jealous of their bank account, or are you actually craving their creative freedom?4. The Inner Child ClueThe Question: Before the world told you who you had to be to survive or pay bills, what did you do for pure joy?The Reflection: Go back to your ten-year-old self. Your younger self knew exactly what your energy was meant for before adult expectations took over. What did you lose track of time doing?5. The Truth BombThe Question: If you keep living the exact lifestyle you lived this past week for the next 10 years, what will you regret most?The Reflection: Shakedown your own complacency. Don't let your comfort zone become the graveyard of your potential. What is the thing you will wish you had started today? I'm all about having no regrets, and this question cuts right through to the core.This Week's Listener Challenge: The 3-Day Static Cleanse:For the next three days, wake up 15 minutes earlier. Before checking emails or scrolling social media, sit in morning silence with your journal. Clear out everyone else's opinions so you can finally hear your own intuition speak.Connect with the Show:Enjoyed this episode? Hit Subscribe and leave a 5-star review!
