Lyn looks at the complex and controversial topic of trans and self-identification. Drawing from her personal experiences and extensive research, Lyn expresses her concerns about gender dysphoria and what's been offered as a one answer fits all 'trans' (transition to look/ identify as the opposite sex) solution, and the harrowing implications, particularly on young children and adolescents.  She discusses the potential risks associated with transitioning, including mental health issues, irreversible sexual function, sterilisation and the permanent removal of healthy body parts. Lyn also raises the alarm on predetory male perpetrators who are exploiting self identity/ trans to gain accessibility to women/ girls private spaces and sports. KEY TAKEAWAYS Many individuals diagnosed with gender dysphoria may have underlying issues such as trauma, abuse, be on the neurodivergent spectrum or have confusion over their sexual orientation during adolescence, which could be treated with safe options, rather than them automatically being pushed down a transition pathway. The discussion highlights the potential long-term consequences of medical interventions like puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and irreversible proceedures/ surgeries, particularly for children who are not emotionally/ mentally mature enough and do not fully understand the lifetime implications of their decisions. Huge concerns are being born out, allowing men to self-identify as women has opened the door for predatory male perpetrators to exploit being able to gain access to women’s and girl's safe spaces, endangering women and girls in areas where they should feel secure and protected. The conversation distinguishes between two main categories of men who identify as transwomen: 1. Homosexual transsexuals, who may transition due to gender dysphoria or traumatic childhood experiences, and 2. Autogenophiles, men who have a sexual fetish related to seeing themselves as female. BEST MOMENTS "I think this is an area in our lives at the minute which is leaving the door open for predatory men to be able to access vulnerable women and girls." "There are lots of reasons why people and children in particular, might suffer from gender dysphoria, especially through their vulnerable years of adolescence and puberty." "What comes after that? Certainly, possibly surgeries, where for boys that can lead to them having their genitals removed." ABOUT THE HOST Lyn Smith – (The Queen of HEARTS) – Love, Dating & Relationship Expert Lyn’s personal story is a very inspirational and harrowing one of how she went from having unhealthy and unfulfilling relationships with men (on the back of several serious traumatic sexual assaults in her teens) to now feeling safe, fulfilled, alive, full of passion and having inner peace.

Lyn talks to Jeffrey Nuziard, a sexual health and wellness expert and the developer of the patented RegenMax treatment.  Jeffrey shares his personal, devastating experience with erectile dysfunction (ED) that began in his 40s, which ultimately led him on a 15-year quest to find a genuine cure. He explains the root cause of physical ED is not poor blood flow (as conventional medicine suggests), but rather the degeneration of collagen in the penile tissue due to dropping testosterone levels as men and women age KEY TAKEAWAYS Contrary to popular belief, the primary cause of physical erectile dysfunction is not simply poor blood flow, but the breakdown of collagen that holds together the spongy tissues (corpora cavernosa) inside the penis Dropping testosterone levels, which begin to decline by an average of 2% per year in our 20s, activate the body's ageing process, causing the body to shut down non-essential functions like collagen production The RegenMax treatment focuses on regenerative medicine by using a combination of techniques, including heat and acoustic sources, to cause micro-tears in the tissue Women also experience atrophy due to collagen and hormone loss, leading to issues like clitoral atrophy and vaginal relaxation syndrome BEST MOMENTS "I discovered that everybody says [poor] blood flow is the cause of erectile dysfunction, but it’s not." "Losing testosterone activates the ageing process." "The first thing that your body shuts down is our production of collagen." "Our bodies are able to regenerate themselves... that’s how we were designed." ABOUT THE GUEST - Jeffrey Nuziard - Sexual Health & Wellness Expert Jeff Nuziard is the founder of Sexual Wellness Centers of America and the innovator of REGENmax®, the only patented protocol proven to cure and prevent erectile and vaginal dysfunction. More than 3,000 patients have completed the program, with outcomes that consistently reflect the remarkable 97.2% success rate first demonstrated in his clinical trial.

This deeply personal episode explores the phases of emotional detachment within a relationship, specifically from a woman's perspective, using a powerful analogy of an emotional "bank account."  Lyn shares her own experiences across two long-term relationships, detailing five stages—from the initial unconscious observation of negative feelings to the final, total emotional and physical withdrawal KEY TAKEAWAYS A relationship begins with a full "bank account" of emotional energy, but as issues arise, the account starts to become slowly and unconsciously depleted until a woman feels emotionally bankrupt. The initial phase involves silently observing and compounding feelings of disappointment and unfulfilment without understanding the root cause, which then progresses to a breakdown in communication and feeling unheard. As emotional energy decreases, a woman slowly withdraws her investment in the relationship, showing less spontaneity, affection, and initiation, and instead starts taking personal responsibility for her own happiness through external activities. The final stage is the "whip of indifference," where the emotional bank account reaches zero, and the woman has completely checked out—a state of emotional bankruptcy where there is no more energy left to invest, and she is out of the relationship both emotionally and physically. BEST MOMENTS "Neither relationship was a toxic relationship... but it just got to the stage where we were on different paths and the relationships had run their course." "What I noticed is that, first and foremost, I was observing myself, but not actually consciously at the time... that I was silently observing, certain feelings... like disappointment, feeling unfulfilled." "Unconsciously, you start to stop communicating, and this can have a draining effect, it can really be a phase where you're feeling exhausted and frustrated." "I suppose in hindsight, I realise now that these things were going on, but I felt powerless to actually stop the train now that it was pulling out the station, so to speak." ABOUT THE HOST Lyn Smith – (The Queen of HEARTS) – Love, Dating & Relationship Expert Lyn’s personal story is a very inspirational and harrowing one of how she went from having unhealthy and unfulfilling relationships with men (on the back of several serious traumatic sexual assaults in her teens) to now feeling safe, fulfilled, alive, full of passion and having inner peace.

Lyn talks to family law expert and retired judge Peggy Walsh about the challenges of high-conflict co-parenting, offering strategies for separating couples to resolve disputes and prioritise their child's well-being.  Peggy focusses upon the fact that the people who love the child are best suited to make decisions, not a judge or "stranger," and explains that intense conflict often arises when deep, intimate relationships end KEY TAKEAWAYS A judge or lawyer is the wrong person to make decisions about a child; the parents who love the child are the best people to make those decisions. High-conflict co-parenting arises because it's very difficult for people who were in love and planned to be together forever to then separate, and this hurt causes everything—even small things—to become a massive problem. Many disputes taken to family court are over small issues—like what a child ate for dinner—which are escalated because of the intense betrayal and negative feelings between the ex-partners, confirming the saying: "hurt people hurt people". To resolve conflict, parents must stop focusing on the ex-partner and any betrayal, take their power back, and decide that they want peace by focusing on what is good, what they want to see improved, and creating boundaries to de-escalate harmful communication. BEST MOMENTS "The people who love the child are the best people to make decisions about him/ her." "If you don't want a stranger to make decisions about your life, you don't want a stranger to make decisions about your child's life." "They stop talking about that person, they gain the power of, well, where is the attention focused? I want to talk about my kid and the good things that are happening with my kid, or I want to talk about my life." "You're also setting examples for children. When you stay in a relationship that you don't want to stay in, that's what they're going to think about when they are in that place too." ABOUT THE GUEST - Peggy Walsh - Family Law Expert Peggy Walsh is a retired family court and state Supreme Court judge. Before she became a judge, she represented people in divorce custody and other litigation.  Peggy is a New York-licensed attorney but has chosen to stay out of the courtroom because there are better ways of resolving disputes. During her eighteen years on the bench—fourteen in family court and four in supreme court handling matrimonial cases—she witnessed firsthand how court proceedings can inflict irreparable damage on both children and adults. More importantly, Peggy learned that this suffering is often preventable.   LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/peggy-walsh-1a5b2133Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/peggy.walsh.558076?_rdc=1&_rdr#Website - https://thecoparentcoach.com/ ABOUT THE HOST Lyn Smith – (The Queen of HEARTS) – Love, Dating & Relationship Expert Lyn’s personal story is a very inspirational and harrowing one of how she went from having unhealthy and unfulfilling relationships with men (on the back of several serious traumatic sexual assaults in her teens) to now feeling safe, fulfilled, alive, full of passion and having inner peace.

Lyn sits down with Daniel Ryan, "the family law guy," to discuss a difficult topic: what happens when couples reach the point of separation and divorce? Daniel, a family law practitioner & relationship expert shares his unique perspective on a legal system that he says often unnecessarily turns breakups into battlefields. KEY TAKEAWAYS Rather than fighting to destroy each other, Daniel's firm helps clients find a more equitable, negotiated outcome, reminding them that they once loved one another. A trend of relationships ending because people get "bored" with their partners and seek something new is discussed. The two experts discuss the need for more education in schools about how to have healthy relationships, as many people repeat the toxic cycles they grew up with. Daniel’s practice offers a holistic approach that includes recommending therapy and counseling to help clients get back to a happy and fulfilled life BEST MOMENTS "The approach you're currently taking is perhaps not the most appropriate one, and you're not really thinking about your children." "My remit is not to destroy one of you." "I am on second and third generation clients, where I think, 'Oh yeah, I did your mum's divorce,' and here I am doing yours." "All children have an absolute right to a fantastic childhood."

Lyn talks to Wonder Wendy, a podcaster dedicated to providing open source programming for the human mind, the concept of "riding the next wave of life," particularly for women, emphasising the importance of resilience and adaptability in each phase. Wendy shares her personal journey, including her experiences with marriage, motherhood, and the lessons learned from each chapter of her life, and discusses how challenges can lead to growth and self-discovery. KEY TAKEAWAYS The concept of open source programming is likened to computer programming, where ideas and resources are shared freely to benefit others. This approach is applied to personal development, encouraging individuals to rewrite their mental programming to live a fulfilling life. Life is like surfing, where individuals must learn to navigate both the high and the low waves. Embracing the natural cycles of life, including the inevitability of challenges, is essential for personal growth and resilience. Encourage open discussions about mistakes and challenges, they should not be viewed negatively; instead, see them as opportunities for reflection and learning, that can nuture healthier mindsets and personal growth. Recognising the need for personal space and alone time is crucial for maintaining a healthy relationship. Understanding our own needs can lead to better self-awareness and stronger connections with others. BEST MOMENTS "I just want to help people live better lives, what I call the wonderful bucket list life, and be the fullest person they can be, especially at this point in my life." "If you make someone's life too easy, you don't let them fight a little bit; they don't develop the necessary strength they need to be their best self." "The best way to ride the next wave is to both be alert and open. You need to position yourself so that you're ready for those challenges." "I realised I need time alone... if I can't bring it all back in and shut down every so often, that's where I draw my energy." ABOUT THE GUEST Wonder Wendy: The Imperfect Prophet Wonder Wendy doesn't just talk about living boldly—she embodies it. At 59, she's rappelling off nine-story buildings, hosting podcasts from hotel rooms in Paris, and proving that your most wonder-full life isn't behind you but waiting for you now. As the host of The Imperfect Prophet, Wonder Wendy delivers unfiltered wisdom to women aged 40-65 who refuse to let their lives get smaller.

Lyn discusses how masculine and feminine energy works in the dynamic of a romantic relationship, highlighting how societal conditioning sometimes leads women to (often unconsciously) exude more masculine energy in their lives, and the impact this may have on their romantic relationships. Lyn explains the significance of being aware of how masculine & feminine energy affects our behaviours and results, so we can have/ attract healthier relationships with more intimacy, passion and fulfillment. KEY TAKEAWAYS There is a difference between masculine & feminine energy, masculine energy is associated with doing, thinking and action, while feminine energy is about being, intuition, and flow. Women may default into masculine energy as a protection mechanism due to past traumas or heartbreaks. This can hinder their ability to attract healthy masculine energy partners It's important for individuals to become more aware of their behaviours and how they show up in relationships. Some women need to shift from a mindset of needing to control to one of 'letting go' to help nuture healthier connections. Feeling feminine is personal and varies from woman to woman. It’s essential to identify what makes YOU feel more feminine, whether it’s through activities, clothing, accessories, or personal grooming BEST MOMENTS "The masculine and feminine energy dynamic really plays a huge part in the success of our relationships." "If we've had past trauma and heartbreaks, it's quite common for women to default into masculine energy as protection." "The feminine energy is all about relinquishing control." "Be aware that if you've not done the work on yourself, then you might need to delve into doing some of that to actually heal." ABOUT THE HOST Lyn Smith – (The Queen of HEARTS) – Love, Dating & Relationship Expert Lyn’s personal story is a very inspirational and harrowing one of how she went from having unhealthy and unfulfilling relationships with men (on the back of several serious traumatic sexual assaults in her teens) to now loving herself & being fulfilled, which makes her feel alive, full of passion and gives her inner peace.

Lyn welcomes Dr. Alexia Harrigan, a powerhouse physical therapist and founder of Pelvis Power PT. Together, they delve into the crucial topic of women's health, specifically focusing on menopause and the intimacy challenges that can arise during this phase. Dr. Lexie shares her personal journey into pelvic health physical therapy, highlighting the importance of addressing pelvic pain and bladder issues that many women suffer with in silence. With over 20 years of experience, she emphasizes the significance of open communication with healthcare providers and partners, as well as the benefits of pelvic floor physical therapy KEY TAKEAWAYS Many women suffer from pelvic pain and intimacy challenges after childbirth, often feeling guilt and shame. It's important to recognise that these issues can be treated and are not just a normal part of being a woman. Practicing diaphragmatic breathing can help improve pelvic floor function and reduce tension. This technique involves deep breathing that engages the diaphragm, promoting relaxation and coordination of pelvic floor muscles. Open communication with partners about intimacy challenges is crucial. Sharing preferences and concerns can lead to better experiences and help partners understand how to provide support. Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can lead to intimacy challenges, such as decreased lubrication and pain during intercourse. Women may need to use more lubrication and engage in more foreplay to enhance comfort. BEST MOMENTS "We don't have to live life with leakage. We don't have to live life with pelvic pain... just because we're women, that doesn't mean we can't get treatment and live our best lives." "When those hormones decrease... the quality of the tissues... gets more fragile. They're not as plump, they're not as strong, they're not as springy." "Diaphragmatic breathing can help re-coordinate that pelvic floor function and also exercise those muscles." "I think a lot of women are suffering in silence over this... we don't really know how to address it in terms of knowing that it can actually be relieved." ABOUT THE GUEST - Dr. Alexia “Lexi” HarriganDr. Alexia “Lexi” Harrigan, PT, DPT is the founder of Pelvis Power PT, a concierge physical therapy practice based in the DFW metroplex. With 20 years of experience, she specializes in women’s pelvic health, chronic pain management, and oncology rehab.

Lyn welcomes back loving relationship mentor and author Barbara Magro Berg to discuss her book, The Science of Attracting Your Soulmate. Barbara shares her personal journey from a challenging divorce to finding lasting love, emphasising the importance of self-discovery and emotional healing by using self-help techniques such as EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique also known as tapping) and journaling. The conversation delves into the significance of admitting one's desires for love, the impact of societal conditioning on relationships, and the power of thoughts in manifesting a soulmate.  KEY TAKEAWAYS A crucial step in attracting a soulmate is acknowledging and admitting to oneself the desire for love and companionship, without shame or fear of societal expectations. Understanding the principle that thoughts shape our reality is essential. Positive affirmations and beliefs about oneself can attract our desired relationship, while negative thoughts & beliefs can lead to creating negative repeat patterns and unfulfilling/ unhealthy relationships. Using practices like EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) or other self-help strategies can clear subconscious blockages and limiting beliefs that hinder the ability to attract a healthy soulmate. Having a clear vision statement and creating a vision board for your desired relationship can help manifest specific qualities and experiences in a partner, reinforcing what one truly wants in a loving relationship. BEST MOMENTS "I think the first thing is to admit to yourself that this is what you really want and not to be ashamed of it." "Thoughts become things. If you think you can't, you can't. If you think you can, you can." "When we have trauma in our youth, our soul actually fractures." "I think quite a lot of us do get conditioned by our environment, whether that's our parents, our friendship groups, the media that we consume." "You set your intention for what you want. You admit to yourself that you want love and that you're deserving of it." ABOUT THE GUEST Barbara Magro Berg - Loving Relationship Mentor & Author From the outside, it looked like Barbara had created a dream life with a successful career in the travel publishing industry that included frequent international trips, many wonderful friends, and a close family. Yet on the inside, something was missing, and she yearned for a special man to share her life with. After being encouraged by family and friends for many years to “give up on finding love” and appreciate the positive aspects her life already held, at the age of 59, her heartfelt dream of attracting and marrying her soulmate came true! By this time Barbara had been single for 20+ years and finally, her desire to love and be loved was achieved by mastering a set of scientific and spiritual principles.

Lynh welcomes Amanda Carroll, a single mom dating coach and founder of the Single Mom Collective. Amanda shares her inspiring journey from feeling ruined after a painful divorce to rebuilding her life and finding love again. They delve into the challenges single moms face in dating, particularly the damaging effects of purity culture and societal expectations. Amanda emphasises the importance of healing, self-worth, and pursuing personal dreams before seeking a partner.  KEY TAKEAWAYS The discussion highlights the damaging effects of purity culture, which instills shame in women regarding their sexuality and self-worth. It's essential for single moms to heal from these beliefs to build healthy relationships. Single moms are encouraged to focus on their own personal growth, financial independence, and self-worth. This empowerment allows them to make better choices in partners and model healthy relationships for their children. The conversation emphasises that children benefit from witnessing their parents in healthy, egalitarian relationships. This modeling helps break cycles of unhealthy dynamics and teaches children about love and partnership. Struggles and challenges, such as divorce, can lead to personal transformation. Embracing these experiences can result in becoming a stronger, more resilient individual, ultimately leading to better relationships. BEST MOMENTS "I realised that my value isn't based on whether or not I was pure. My value is based on that I'm a woman that can love." "The best revenge is your success. Instead of focusing on being bitter and angry from your past, let's go be successful." There's something wrong with it instead of a beautiful way to connect with your partner." "You can't just think you're going to be completed because you're with someone else instead of pursuing your own dreams." "The struggle to find love gives you the ability to have it. It is exactly the struggle to rebuild your life post-divorce that defines you."

Lyn welcomes dating coach Lana Ricco, who shares her insights on the trend of ghosting after what seems like a great date. They delve into the reasons behind why men may disappear, emphasising that if a man is truly interested, he will pursue a connection. Lana discusses the significance of understanding one's own values and expectations in relationships, as well as the importance of setting firm boundaries. The conversation also touches on the complexities of dating, the impact of rejection, and the necessity of self-worth when faced with ghosting.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Ghosting often occurs because he is simply not interested. If a man disappears after a seemingly great date, it likely means he didn't see a future with you, it's about him rather than any personal inadequacy on your part. Rejection can be reframed as protection. If someone ghosts you, it frees you to find someone who is genuinely interested and compatible, rather than investing time chasing a relationship that may not lead anywhere. Establishing and maintaining personal boundaries is crucial in relationships. If a partner crosses these boundaries, it’s important to firmly communicate and address the issue to prevent further discomfort or resentment. Before entering a relationship, it’s essential to understand your own values and what you want from a partner. This self-awareness helps identify compatible partners and avoid unhealthy relationships. Marriage should be approached with seriousness and thoughtfulness. It’s important to consider the long-term implications and responsibilities that come with marriage, rather than viewing it as a temporary arrangement. BEST MOMENTS "If they really like you, they would continue. People are pretty simple. If we like something, we want more of it. If we don’t want more of it, then it means we don’t like it." "You can think about why people are afraid, but unfortunately, all you have to do is just see their actions, because actions show everything." "If your partner is constantly complaining about every single minor thing, that's also a red flag. There's something wrong because people usually get along with those things." "Reframe the word rejection to mean protection. In other words, they’re not meant for you, so you’re free now to meet somebody who is." "Don't attach your self-worth and self-esteem to someone's behaviour. If the guy is ghosting you, it's not because something is wrong with you."

In this enlightening episode of the Hearts Entwined podcast, Lyn welcomes relationship coach Lionel Moses to discuss the transformative concept of the "mirror effect." They explore the importance of self-awareness and internal validation in nurturing healthy relationships, emphasising that true love and connection begin with understanding and appreciating ourself. Lionel shares insights on how societal pressures and media portrayals can negatively distort our self-image, leading to an unhealthy reliance on receiving external validation from others.  KEY TAKEAWAYS The mirror effect involves looking inward to understand and appreciate ourself, which is an essential conponent for being a good partner in any relationship. Self-awareness is crucial for personal growth and relationship success. Many individuals seek 'external' validation from others, rather than affirming themselves. Learning to validate and appreciate yourself can lead to healthier relationships and a more positive self-image. Often, people do not have good role models for positive self-affirmation, leading to a lack of understanding about self-love. It’s important to learn from both positive and negative examples in life. The energy a person exudes can significantly impact their relationships. True beauty comes from within, and the essence of a person is often far more attractive & important than physical appearance. BEST MOMENTS "The mirror effect is about knowing who you are. Until you know yourself, you can't be the perfect partner for anyone." "Instead of looking for the perfect partner, look at being the perfect partner." "More things that we experience in life are caught more than they're taught." "Unless you truly acknowledge the bad parts, you can't change them. Send love to yourself to those parts." ABOUT THE GUEST - Lionel Moses - Author, Coach & Relationship Strategist Lionel Moses understands relationships in a way that only experience can teach. After navigating marriage, divorce, and career shifts spanning the military, finance, and entrepreneurship, he realized a pattern: most relationship struggles—whether romantic or professional—start within. His book, The Marriage Seed, challenges the instinct to blame others, instead guiding readers toward self-reflection, emotional resilience, and personal responsibility in how they connect with others. As a podcast guest, Lionel speaks to audiences who are tired of repeating the same relationship mistakes, whether in dating, marriage, or the workplace. He dissects why people choose the wrong partners, why conflicts escalate, and why professional relationships fail—often tying it back to the personal blind spots people overlook. Using vivid analogies from nature, he paints a clear picture of what it takes to nurture lasting connections, showing how healthy relationships—like thriving gardens—require patience, care, and a deep understanding of the environment they grow in.

Lyn welcomes back Byron and Margaret McKie, a couple known for their candid discussions about relationships. Together, they delve into the complexities of resolving conflict with your partner, sharing insights from their 27 years of marriage. The McKie's emphasise the importance of viewing conflicts as challenges to be tackled together rather than battles to be won individually. They explore the differences in how men and women typically handle conflict, highlighting the need for effective communication and emotional understanding.  KEY TAKEAWAYS It's essential to approach conflicts with the mindset that it's not about winning or losing but about resolving the issue together. When only one partner wins, both lose; true success comes from tackling problems as a team. Different communication styles can arise from gender differences. Men may prefer directness, while women might seek emotional safety. Recognising these differences can help couples navigate conflicts more effectively. Past experiences can influence how individuals react during conflicts. One partner may project emotions based on their history, while the other may not relate and so respond in a different way. Understanding each other's backgrounds can create empathy and improve communication. When verbal communication becomes heated, writing letters can be an effective way to express feelings and thoughts without provoking an immediate emotional charge. This method allows for uninterupted clearer communication and helps prevent misunderstandings. BEST MOMENTS "When only one of you wins, you both lose. If you solve the problem together, you both win."  "I need to say the same thing I said to my friend, but just in a different tone or a different way."  "A lot of times, we found that we're saying the same things just in different ways."  "You have to utilise more of your feminine energy." "Conflict is good. That's where change comes from. That's where growth comes from."  ABOUT THE GUESTSByron & Margaret McKie - Marriage Mentors & Podcast Hosts Byron is a hard-working, loving husband and father who enjoys building things, music, and motorcycles. Margaret is a creative, dedicated wife and mother who enjoys reading, crocheting, and learning new things. Together, they co-host The Beyond I Do Podcast, where they share their journey through 27 years of marriage and offer tips for creating and maintaining a happy, healthy relationship. Passionate about helping others, Bryron & Margaret recently published their first book, Unlocking Forever: 10 Keys to a Successful Marriage Beyond I Do. They stress the importance of friendship in marriage. While love may come easily, they believe that maintaining a deep friendship requires effort and is what makes a marriage last.

Lyn invites Dr. Rita Louise, a medical intuitive, to explore the fascinating topic of trusting your intuition. Dr. Louise shares her journey of discovering her innate intuitive abilities, emphasising that everyone possesses this gift of inner wisdom to varying degrees. The conversation delves into the differences between intuition and the ego, the importance of quieting the mind to hear our subtle inner voice, and practical tips for developing intuition, such as journaling and paying attention to our initial gut instincts.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Everyone possesses intuition to varying degrees, and it is an innate part of our energy system. Recognising and harnessing this ability can enhance our personal growth and decision making process. The intuitive voice is often quieter and more persistent, while the ego voice tends to be loud and demanding. Calming the ego through practices like meditation or journaling can help individuals access their intuitive wisdom more effectively. Developing intuition involves paying attention to subtle feelings and messages. Noticing when you have intuitive prompts, even if you don’t act on them, is crucial for building awareness and trust in your inner guidance. Engaging in activities that promote a flow state, such as journaling or creative expression, can facilitate access to our intuitive insights. When in flow, people are more likely to receive and act on their intuitive guidance. Trusting and surrendering to intuitive messages can lead to significant personal growth and fulfilment. Ignoring these messages may result in discomfort or repeating challenges, emphasising the importance of listening to one's wiser inner voice. BEST MOMENTS "I think a lot of people don't recognise that the level of intuition that is innate in all of us, and we just write it off and don't pay attention to it." "The intuitive voice... nags you and nag you and nag you with the same bit of information." "When you're being given this dictate, and you don't do it, then you start having all this weird stuff start to happen to you." "You don't know what you don't know, until you do." "The biggest message that I would love for people to have is, start paying attention to what's going on inside." ABOUT THE GUEST - Dr. Rita Louise - Medical Intuitive Bestselling author, Dr. Rita Louise is the Founder of the Institute of Applied Energetics and former host of Just Energy Radio.

Lyn welcomes married couple Byron & Margaret McKie, who are marriage mentors and podcast hosts. They share their unique journey of love, friendship, and resilience, having married young and faced numerous challenges, including raising children, the complexities of turning to others outside of their marriage, healing and navigating personal growth. They also discuss the importance of communication, the value of nurturing friendship within a marriage, and the lessons learned from challenging times, including a period of emotional distance that ultimately strengthened their bond. KEY TAKEAWAYS A strong and lasting relationship is built on a foundation of friendship. Nurturing this friendship helps couples connect and communicate effectively. Open and honest communication is crucial for maintaining and strengthening a relationship. Couples should feel safe to express their feelings and concerns without fear of judgment. It's normal for a spouse to have a difference of opinion. Healthy relationships allow for disagreements, and couples can learn to pick their battles and agree to disagree when necessary. Creating a safe space for vulnerability is essential. Both partners should feel comfortable sharing their emotions and seeking support from each other, as well as from external sources like mentors or therapists. Difficult periods in a relationship can lead to growth and a deeper connection. Facing challenges together can strengthen the bond and encourage couples to work as a team. BEST MOMENTS "We focus on making sure that our relationship is intact and together and the other stuff we work through as a team."  "If your spouse can't be vulnerable and open with you, that leaves the door ajar for someone else to step in and be that safe place."  "You have to 'like' your partner. Love is great, but you have to like that individual."  "It took a lot of putting the individual aside sometimes and thinking, okay, is this really worth what could happen if I continue down this path."  "If there's something about me that's wrong, I need to work on it." ABOUT THE GUESTSByron & Margaret McKie - Marriage Mentors & Podcast Hosts Byron is a hard-working, loving husband and father who enjoys building things, music, and motorcycles.

Lyn welcomes back Bernadette Ana Bruckner to discuss the essential topic of how to attract healthy love. They explore the importance of self-love as the foundation for creating fulfilling relationships, emphasising that true love is an inside job and primarily begins with learning to love ourselves. Bernadette shares insights on how our childhood experiences shape our understanding of love and the significance of recognising and changing our negative self-talk so we can attract or create healthier relationships. KEY TAKEAWAYS Attracting healthy love begins with loving yourself. Many individuals struggle with self-doubt and seek validation 'externally' from others instead of going within and nurturing their own value and self-worth. It's essential to define what love means to you personally. Different backgrounds and experiences shape our understanding of love, and recognising this can help us form healthier relationships. A healthy relationship is a supportive environment where both partners can flourish. It's important to find someone who complements you rather than completes you. Negative self-talk hinders personal growth and the ability to attract healthy relationships. Being conscious of how you speak to yourself is crucial for building a positive self-image. Consistency in self-care and self-love practices, no matter how small, can lead to significant changes over time. Engaging in activities that bring joy and fulfilment is vital for our personal development. BEST MOMENTS "The love begins always with yourself. When I meet people, there is so much self-doubt, so much non-loving there for themselves, and yet they seek love from other people." "Loving is not only in relationship and sex. Loving is way much more, within a good environment or around people where you can blossom." "When you see children, how they grow up, they see role models. The people can talk whatever, in the end, children imitate you like a role model." "It's so important that we actually do get it, and realise that it starts with ourselves, it starts with validating ourselves, it starts with appreciating ourselves and loving ourselves." ABOUT THE GUEST - Bernadette Ana Bruckner Bernadette Ana Bruckner is a creative all rounder, working successfully in Austria and Internationally. Her interests are in health, nutition & communication, she has appropriated an enormous amount of knowledge in various fields for over 30 years. Bernadette has been active as an holistic trainer in health/ nutrition and mental health using holistic resilience methods.

Lyn welcomes relationship coach Roy Biancalana to discuss the often-ignored idea of "getting ready for real love." Roy shares insights from his own personal experiences, emphasising the importance of going on a journey of self-awareness and personal growth before seeking a partner. He highlights the common mistakes people make when searching for love, such as focusing solely on finding a partner rather than preparing themselves for attracting a healthy relationship.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Before seeking a partner, it's crucial to work on ourselves to heal/ remove any emotional baggage and self-sabotaging behaviours. By changing the focus to being in a healthy state, we allow for better connections to be attracted to us when meeting potential partners. Many individuals repeat unhealthy relationship patterns because they fail to recognise their own contributions to their past experiences. Self-reflection and awareness are essential for breaking these cycles. The idea that "like attracts like" emphasises that individuals will attract partners who are at a similar level of emotional and psychological health. To attract a healthier partner, one must first work on becoming a healthier partner by being our best self. Utilising tools like the Relationship Fitness Self-Assessment Test can provide insights into one's current relationship readiness and highlight areas for personal growth. BEST MOMENTS "If we aren't ready for something real... we shoot ourselves in the foot." "A lot of people... are frightened to be single... especially if they're unintentionally single." "You will always attract a partner and a relationship that is as healthy as you are." "If you want an extraordinary relationship... you have to do some really serious work on yourself."

Lyn welcomes transformational relationship coach Adriane Magidson to explore the intriguing topic of hidden relationship blocks. Adriane delves into the connection between our subconscious mind, energy, and emotions, explaining how hidden blocks can sabotage our relationship progress, even after extensive personal growth, and how we can uncover and remove them. KEY TAKEAWAYS Many people may not be aware of the subconscious energy and emotional patterns that block their relationships from progressing/ being healthy, even after doing significant personal development work. The seven main chakras in the body represent different aspects of our emotional and energetic health. Blockages or misalignments at these energy points can negatively affect our relationships and personal well-being. Understanding how the masculine and feminine energy dynamic works is crucial in relationships. Couples may unintentionally exude energy that conflicts with their natural core energy, leading to unhealthy behaviours and attraction issues. True happiness and fulfilment comes from within (affirming - I am enough, I am worthy of love). Seeking external validation can lead to a never-ending cycle of dissatisfaction & resentment, while self-love/ acceptance fosters a sense of completeness. BEST MOMENTS "Our subconscious mind is connected to our energy, as well as connected to our emotions. Sometimes we don't know that that's still there." "If you're out of balance with your own natural tendency, that's what has a tendency to manifest." "Sometimes we can really feel we've done a hell of a lot of work on ourselves but we're still not getting the results that we hoped." "It's about letting go, surrendering and trusting. That's the most important aspect of it." ABOUT THE GUEST - Adriane Magidson - Transformational Relationship CoachAdriane is known for her ability to help high-achieving women break deep subconscious patterns, shift their energetic alignment, and create profound relationship breakthroughs. With certifications in NLP, Hypnotherapy, EFT, Time Techniques, and Life & Success Coaching, Adriane’s work transcends traditional relationship coaching as she brings a unique fusion of deep intuitive insight, subconscious reprogramming, and energy recalibration. Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/adriane.judeEmail - adrianemagidson@gmail.comABOUT THE HOST Lyn Smith – (The Queen of HEARTS) – Love, Dating & Relationship Expert Lyn’s personal story is a very inspirational and harrowing one of how she went from having unhealthy and unfulfilling relationships with men (on the back of several serious traumatic sexual assaults in her teens) to now being in a soul fulfilling relationship which makes her feel alive, is full of passion and gives her inner peace.

Lyn welcomes back Caroline Ackroyd, a hypnotherapist and love coach, to explore the compelling topic of why women often attract emotionally unavailable men. Caroline shares her insights on unhealthy patterns that stem from our childhood experiences, emphasising how unmet emotional needs can lead to a cycle of seeking affection and validation from men who mirror those early relationships. The conversation delves into the psychological aspects of these dynamics, including the concept of "pining patterns", & the trauma bonds that attract unhealthy relationships, and how we can heal and break free from them. KEY TAKEAWAYS Understanding Emotional Unavailability: Emotional unavailability in men can stem from their childhood experiences, where their emotional needs were not met. This can manifest in various ways, from lack of affection/ attention to more severe issues like narcissisic behaviours. The Pining Pattern: The "pining pattern," is where love is associated with longing and chasing and feeling anxious. This pattern often leads to choosing men who mirror the emotional unavailability experienced in childhood, perpetuating a cycle of unfulfilling/ unhealthy relationships. Self-Responsibility: It's crucial to recognise that while attraction to emotionally unavailable men is external, it's actually a reflection of what's going on internally. Taking responsibility for any unhealthy choices we make in relationships is the first step towards healing and breaking the pattern. Healing involves changing your negative self-talk/ narrative about self-worth and being good enough, and learning to positively validate yourself. By acknowledging your own lovability and worthiness, you can attract more attention/ affection and healthier relationships. BEST MOMENTS  "When I say emotionally unavailable, that can manifest itself... from someone who is not affectionate, all the way to higher degrees... a narcissist all the way to psychopath." "You are trying to change your parent by changing that partner... if you can make him into a warm, cuddly, loving pussycat, you will have put a happy ending on your childhood." "You will know that you have healed when that type and those red flags no longer come into your radar." "It's not about finding love. It's about attracting that partner... it's possible and available for you."ABOUT THE GUEST - Caroline Ackroyd - Hypnotherapist & Love CoachCaroline Ackroyd is an RTT Hypnotherapist, Dating Coach and Soulmate Attraction Mentor helping women elevate their self-concept, sense of worthiness and lovability to feel whole and confident to date in their power.

Lyn invites back hypnotherapist and love coach Caroline Ackroyd to discuss the secret of attracting a high-value man. Caroline shares her insights on the importance of self-perception, self-worth, and the internal dialogue that shapes our dating experiences. They explore how negative self-talk hinders our ability to attract high quality men and provide practical tips for building confidence and a positive self-image. KEY TAKEAWAYS To attract a high-value man, it's essential to have high self-worth and view oneself as a high-value woman. This involves cultivating self-love a positive self-image and confidence. Recognising and changing negative internal self-talk is crucial. Catching yourself having negative thoughts and reframing them into positive affirmations can significantly impact self-esteem and how you present yourself. Many feelings of inadequacy stem from early childhood experiences. Identifying and healing these past events will reshape self-image and vastly improve your dating experiences. The energy we exude is felt by others. Confidence and self-acceptance create a magnetic presence that attracts high-value men, who are drawn to women who feel worthy and confident. High-value men are attracted to women who see themselves as valuable and who maintain high standards in a relationship. This includes having healthy boundaries by showing you're interested but not appearing overly eager or desperate, allowing a man to pursue and chase you, which reinforces your value in his mind. BEST MOMENTS "The secret to attracting a high value man is for you to have a high self-concept, how you view yourself. You need to view yourself as a high value woman." "Imagine that if you were someone else telling you the things that you're telling yourself, would you be friends with them?" "A high value man wants a woman who is worthy of that chase, who sees and feels herself like the prize that she is." "It's not only about the looks. Sometimes we look at couples and think, what's he doing with her? We're just looking superficially at the external physical looks."
