In a world drowning in quick scrolls and shallow connections, how do we truly understand love and personal growth? In this episode of The True Love Knots Podcast, Maria sits down with June Dillinger, creator of Heart Cards, to explore how a simple card draw can transform relationships, workplace culture, and personal growth. June shares how her father’s disability shaped her journey and inspired her to create atool that helps people pause, listen, and connect on a deeper level. She explains why true love and understanding start with intentional reflection and how Heart Cards are more than just a deck—they’re a bridge to self-awarenessand meaningful connections. If you’re ready to open your heart, this episode is for you.
Standout Quotes:
· “The more I share my talents and gifts with others, the more I have for myself.”
· “If we can let our heart lead, miracles will happen.”
· “Aloha is ‘alo,’ meaning life, and ‘ha,’ meaning breath. So, when you say aloha, you're sharing the breath of life.”
· “When we pause and look at our mate, neighbor, dog, or someone we might be angry with, just pause. It's in the in-between space that everything changes.”
· “There's not one negative card in the deck. They're all positive, and gently so. They nudge us to see more of the beauty within us.”
Key Takeaways:
· Practice the "pause" daily - take 60 seconds to genuinely connect with someone around you, making full eye contact and expressing authentic appreciation without distractions.
· Start a workplace or personal ritual using the Heart Cards: draw one card at the beginning of your day/meeting to spark meaningful conversation and self-reflection.
· Challenge yourself to notice body language in conversations - are you truly present? Adjust your posture, turn towards the speaker, and give full attention to demonstrate genuine listening.
· Create a personal "love visibility" experiment: for one week, intentionally perform small acts of kindness or connection that make love tangible for others, tracking how it shifts your perspective.
· Embrace the Hawaiian concept of "Aloha" - literally sharing the breath of life - by consciously infusing your daily interactions with genuine connection and compassion.

Are you stuck in unfulfilling relationships and wondering why love feels out of reach? In this episode of the True Love Knots Podcast, relationship expert Bob Grant talks about how hidden patterns and beliefs may be holding you back. Bob opens up about his own struggles with learning disabilities and how they led him to help others build lasting connections. He explains how self-criticism, especially among successful women, can create barriers to love and offers insights on shifting these mindsets. From dating apps to modern gender dynamics, Bob’s advice empowers you to embrace vulnerability, challenge old narratives, and discover what you truly need in a partner. Ready for lasting love?
Standout Quotes:
“I don't know that it's about trying harder; it's about learning how to do it in a way that works for me.”
“Patterns don't lie. I may not know how to interpret correctly, but a pattern's a clue to something I'm probably doing, not doing, or not being aware of.”
“Pain has a wonderful thing: it keeps us from being satisfied with where we're at now. That can be loneliness, boredom, or actual pain.”
“I think if I'm talking to a man, it's like a job interview. It's a great illustration because it shows that this is the best chance you have to make a first impression.”
Key Takeaways:
Identify your personal patterns and tendencies in relationships - what coping mechanisms or self-limiting beliefs might be sabotaging your efforts to find lasting love? Seek honest feedback from a trusted source to gain clarity.
Challenge yourself to step out of your comfort zone and do something differently. Small, incremental changes can disrupt unhealthy patterns and open the door to new possibilities.
Approach online dating profiles and interactions with the same care and intention as a job interview - your first impression matters, so invest the time to present your authentic self.
Recognize that the person you meet in person may be quite different from their online persona. Keep an open mind and focus on building an emotional connection, not just physical attraction.
If you're not ready for professional coaching, start by surrounding yourself with a supportive community that can provide honest, constructive feedback to help you grow. Avoid relying solely on friends and family who may inadvertently enable your current patterns.

Standout Quotes:
“Intuition is something we all have, but you can definitely train it to be much better.”
“It's better to be with someone who's a little bit intuitive and a little bit sensitive, because then they know what's going on. The awareness of how they act and what their own little shadow sides are like makes it healthier.”
“Intuition is not about feeling the other person out, and for women especially, it's really about feeling into their own needs and feeling their own limitations.”
“Don't blame anybody else. The truth is, you are the one who's making your life miserable, and you are the one who can fix it by being more conscious, being more aware, having an open heart, knowing what you want, and setting more limits.”
“Dress well. Even if you go into the bakery or the grocery store, dress well. You're out there, and you're trying to attract somebody.”
Key Takeaways:
Cultivate self-awareness and emotional intelligence. Understand your own needs, limitations, and standards before seeking a partner. This will help you attract the right people and avoid settling.
Actively listen and be present when on dates. Resist the urge to dominate the conversation and instead focus on truly hearing your date. This simple shift can make a profound difference.
Embrace your intuition and sensitivity. Whether you identify as a man or a woman, tapping into your intuitive abilities can provide valuable insights to navigate relationships.
Leverage technology but use it wisely. Explore how AI and other tools can enhance your dating experiences, but don't let them control you. Maintain agency and consciousness in your approach.
Dress to impress, even in everyday situations. Your outward appearance can influence the energy you project and the connections you make. Take pride in how you present yourself to the world.

Are you tired of letting past trauma control your life? In this episode of the True Love Knots Podcast, Maria talks with transformational coach Tammy Cox, who shares her powerful journey from a violent, controlling childhood to healing for the sake of her own children. Tammy reveals how she overcame emotional wounds by neutralizing past trauma and discusses her unique approach to hypnosis and inner child work. She helps others release pain, reclaim their power, and create healthier relationships. Ready to confront your own emotional blocks and rewrite your story? Tune in for inspiring insights and actionable steps toward true healing and lasting transformation.
Standout Quotes:
· “I believe our trauma is our gift. I also choose to believe, on a deeper level, that we come in having already chosen those major terrible things.”
· “I spent my teenage years angry and confused, asking myself deep questions that we don't typically ask until we're adults. Because of that, I dipped down into really low, suicidal points.”
· “I believe that the greatest healing work of this time is hypnosis because you bypass the conscious mind. You're working with the subconscious. And I believe that is the only way to shift the identity, where all the beliefs are held.”
· “My rule of thumb is, if someone's serving you, keep them around. If they're not serving you as much, limit the contact. And if they add no good to your life, you must rethink whether they should have stock in you.”
· “You are a divine being worthy of having your cup filled, not just pouring into everyone else and getting constantly depleted.”
Key Takeaways:
· Reflect on your childhood traumas and how they may impact your current relationships and life. What beliefs or patterns have you unconsciously carried forward?
· Explore the power of hypnosis, and inner child work to neutralize deep-seated emotional wounds.
· Assess your current relationships and social circle. Are the people in your life serving you and adding value, or are they draining your energy? Be intentional about setting boundaries.
· Recognize that healing is an ongoing process, not a one-time event. Commit to the consistent work of reprogramming your subconscious mind and creating a new, empowered identity.
· Embrace the understanding that your trauma can be a gift - a catalyst for profound personal growth and the ability to hold space for others on a similar journey. How can you use your experiences to uplift and inspire?

Struggling with sexual performance, low libido, or the effects of porn addiction? In this episode of the True Love Knots Podcast, Maria welcomes Matt Cook, who has helped over 80,000 men reclaim their sexual vitality and transform their relationships. Matt shares how early exposure to digital pornography is affecting men’s confidence and intimacy and reveals how he overcame erectile dysfunction and health challenges to unlock his sexual energy. With proven techniques rooted in science, Matt offers practical insights to rebuild confidence, enhance intimacy, and reignite passion. If you’re ready to reclaim your masculinity and unlock your full potential, tune in for empowering advice and strategies.
Standout Quotes:
· “As men, especially, our sex drive—our libido—really, in a sense, determines our success and happiness in life to a great degree.”
· “If you're conserving your sexual energy to meet a woman, and if you have a partner, it'll make your relationship better.”
· “I think it helps a man build the power to take intelligent risks. To go out on a limb intelligently, let's say, to quit a high-paying job when he's got the skills to start a business and the courage to do that—the drive, the leadership.”
· “I find that for men, they're better off getting away from video porn. If they're going to use porn, erotica is much less damaging to the brain and body.”
· "Learning to focus on your root can change your perspective. You'll find that you start looking at things a lot differently. Everything becomes more colorful, better, and women can pick up on it."
Key Takeaways:
· Evaluate your relationship with pornography and consider transitioning to less damaging forms of erotica to preserve your sexual vitality.
· Experiment with consciously relaxing your pelvic floor area during intimate moments, rather than focusing solely on the physical sensations. This can help you build your sexual energy without ejaculating as frequently.
· Reflect on how your sex drive and libido may be impacting your overall success, happiness, and leadership qualities in life. Are there areas you could improve by optimizing your sexual health?
· If you're experiencing sexual health issues due to medication side effects, have an open discussion with your doctor about alternative treatment options that won't compromise your intimate life.
· Commit to a sustainable schedule for ejaculation, such as every 3-4 days, and observe how this affects your energy, focus, and connection with your partner (if applicable). Be patient and persistent as you rewire your brain's sexual pathways.

Are you stuck in a cycle of disappointing relationships, repeating the same mistakes? In this episode of the True Love Knots Podcast, Maria is joined by dating coach Jonathon Aslay, who shares how over 100 internet dates and a tough divorce led him to a powerful realization: change starts with self-awareness. Jonathan dives into the importance of confronting fears, insecurities, and limiting beliefs to break free from unhealthy patterns. He challenges listeners to commit to true partnership, have honest conversations early, and surround themselves with supportive, grounded confidants. His message is clear: take responsibility for your emotional growth to create the lasting, fulfilling connections you deserve.
Standout Quotes:
“Self-awareness is the understanding of your fears, insecurities, negative patterns, limiting beliefs, and judgments towards others and yourself. It involves healing in all of those areas.”
“Humans who come to the table with self-awareness can solve any problem. But if you go in with weak emotional maturity and poor relationship skills, it can create a very contentious dynamic.”
“Your desires, capacity, and vision for a relationship must exceed your fears, pains, hurts, and, most importantly, your differences with another human being.”
Key Takeaways:
Identify your fears, insecurities, and limiting beliefs around relationships. Commit to personal development and healing these areas to become more self-aware.
Before meeting someone in person, have intentional conversations to get clarity on their relationship goals and emotional maturity. Don't assume compatibility based on chemistry alone.
Define your vision for a committed, teamwork-oriented relationship. Communicate this clearly in your dating profile and conversations with potential partners.
Cultivate a circle of competent confidants who can provide healthy, grown-up perspectives on your relationships, rather than just validating your desires.
Reflect on your past relationship patterns. How can you break unhealthy cycles and approach new connections with emotional maturity and a commitment to teamwork?
