#73 Love is Coming with Persia Lawson

The Self Development Podcast

In this episode, I have the privilege of speaking with renowned dating and relationship coach and three-time author Persia Lawson. Growing up, Persia’s parents struggled with drug addiction. To escape the challenging emotions, she focused on becoming an overachiever, and as part of her subconscious coping mechanism, she found herself leaning into an addiction to sex and love. She became well-practised at sabotaging any chance of a happy relationship – either by cheating on the nice boyfriends or going out with dysfunctional ‘bad boys’.

Persia’s rock bottom moment came in her mid-twenties when she became the victim of sexual assault. Following this incident, she put on two stone in weight which prompted her concerned dad to take her away to a health retreat in Thailand. Whilst there, he gave Persia some advice that changed the entire trajectory of her life. These words were the launch pad she needed to leverage all her overachiever energy towards healing the real root of all her romantic dilemmas. Today Persia will be gracious enough to share her incredible story and offer the wisdom of what she has learned.
