Love Laura Podcast

WE’RE OPENING A NEW LOVE LAURA STORE! 🎉
In this episode, Laura and Holly take us behind the scenes of one of their biggest business moves yet - bringing Love Laura to The Boulevard!
From making the decision to delays getting everything from England, to the last-minute cleaning operation and bringing 10 new staff on board, there’s a LOT going on behind the scenes. With just two weeks to get everything ready, the pressure is on to make sure every little detail is right.
Laura chats about how the opportunity came together so quickly, why The Boulevard feels like the perfect fit, the biggest headaches of opening a brand-new store, and why sometimes everything really does happen for a reason.
Plus, with opening weekend plans, exciting new shops coming to The Boulevard, and another trip to China on the horizon, the team aren’t slowing down anytime soon!
Will everything be ready in time? Who’s most likely to have a meltdown on opening day? And does Laura ever stop to appreciate just how far she’s come?
Tune in for all the behind-the-scenes chaos, big decisions and excitement as Love Laura enters an exciting new chapter!

Another Laura & Holly Q&A! 🤍
From Laura’s chilled weekend and what they’ve been watching, to the questions you’ve been sending in about jean lengths, winter coats, mum jeans, suppliers and getting the perfect fit.
They’re also chatting Love Laura T-shirts, their go-to outfit when you have nothing to wear, the one makeup product they couldn’t live without, whether they’ll be heading back to China… and the all-important question - can you ever have too many clothes?! 👀
Plus, a little insight into the joy of retail, new suppliers, the challenges that come with suppliers letting you down, and finding that balance between the right fit, quality and what you actually want to wear.
As always, lots of questions, lots of laughs and plenty of Love Laura chat! ✨

Get to know Anna Corry, Love Laura’s newest brand ambassador! 🤍
Anna joins us for a chat about life as a mum of three girls, working alongside her husband, and how AC Connects came about. From her days working in retail to maternity leave, starting Blossoming Birds and building her own business and online community, Anna chats honestly about how her social media has evolved over the years.
We chat about finding inspiration, styling her home, balancing family life with work, and why Anna isn’t interested in chasing viral moments.
Plus, working alongside your husband, having your own projects on the go, switching off from work and social media, caravan weekends, and what’s on Anna’s Autumn/Winter wishlist! 🍂✨

Grab a coffee and get comfy - this one is a proper catch-up!

This week, Laura and Holly are joined by Gemma Murphy from Jack Murphy Jewellers for a brilliant chat about family, business, jewellery and everything in between!
Gemma gives us the inside story of Jack Murphy Jewellers, from her dad being in the jewellery trade for nearly 80 years and the family business celebrating 55 years, to becoming the youngest of four and eventually taking the business on herself.
We chat about the challenges of taking over during the recession, Gemma’s original plan to sell the business once things recovered, and how she ended up completely falling in love with it instead. From influencer marketing and changing jewellery trends to the complexity of gold prices, welded bracelets and the huge plans ahead for Jack Murphy Jewellers, there is so much to get into.
Gemma also opens up about life outside of work, moving house, her daughter and the incredible support she has from her husband Cathal, her family and friends.
Plus, we hear all about the infamous Jack Murphy Traitors event, quick-fire questions and Gemma’s favourite mindset: losers focus on winners, winners focus on winning.
