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 perplexing phenomenon of ghosting after what seems like a great date. They delve into the reasons behind why individuals may disappear, emphasising that if someone is truly interested, they will pursue a connection. Lana discusses the importance of understanding one's own values and expectations in relationships, as well as the significance of setting boundaries. The conversation also touches on the complexities of dating, the impact of rejection, and the necessity of self-worth in the face of ghosting. KEY TAKEAWAYS Ghosting often occurs because the person is simply not interested. If someone disappears after a seemingly great date, it likely means they didn't see a future with you, 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 in 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 communicate and address the issue to prevent further discomfort or toxicity. Before entering a relationship, it’s essential to understand your own values and what you want from a partner. This self-awareness helps in identifying compatible partners and avoiding 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 McKies 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 foster 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 welcomes 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 to varying degrees. The conversation delves into the differences between intuition and the ego, the importance of quieting the mind to hear that subtle inner voice, and practical tips for developing intuition, such as journaling and paying attention to subtle prompts. 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 personal growth and decision-making. 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 intuition 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 intuitive insights. When in flow, individuals are more likely to receive and act on intuitive guidance. Trusting and surrendering to intuitive messages can lead to significant personal growth and fulfilment. Ignoring these messages may result in discomfort or challenges, emphasising the importance of listening to one's 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."

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 difficult 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 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 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, she has worked successfully in different fields in Austria and abroad. For over 30 years, she has appropriated an enormous amount of knowledge about what it takes to be an effective listener and communicator to build lasting healthy relationships. She is an international publisher and author of numerous books in different languages.

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.

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. She helps women heal love blocks that keep them single or in negative relationship patterns with emotionally unavailable or uncommitted men, and supports them to raise their standards through self-love.

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."

Lyn welcomes Dr. Becky Whetstone, a marriage and family therapist, to discuss the challenging topic of what to do when a spouse wants out of the marriage/ relationship. Dr. Whetstone shares her personal journey through marital struggles and the insights she gained from her experiences, emphasising the importance of getting help to heal any issues and stabilise emotions during a marriage crisis. KEY TAKEAWAYS In a marriage crisis, one partner (the decider) may want to leave while the other (the leaning in partner) wants to stay and fight for the relationship. This creates a runner-chaser dynamic that can exacerbate tensions. Before making any decisions about the future of the marriage/ relationship, it's crucial to stabilise emotions and calm the nervous system. This allows for more rational discussions and helps both partners access their true feelings. Implementing a period of no contact can be beneficial. This space allows the decider to reflect on their feelings and the relationship without the pressure of the leaning in partner's attempts to reconnect. During separation, the leaning in partner should put the love and focus entirely on themselves by doing things that they love and that make them happy. This time can be used for self help, to address any stress/ anxiety/ personal issues/ and prepare for a healthier future. Engaging with a therapist can provide essential support during a marriage crisis. Professional guidance can help individuals navigate their emotions, heal past/ current issues, and make informed healthier decisions about their relationship. BEST MOMENTS "If someone says, 'I think I want out of my marriage...' all sorts of crazy feelings, thoughts, and things are going to happen. People can flip back and change their mind numerous times." "The harder the leaning in partner chases, the more activated and intense the decider will want to get away." "If you could just... be kind when your person says they want to leave... I think probably I'd have 80% more reconciliations than I currently do." "Even when you think there's no hope, hope. I've seen everything... it's just so important how you conduct yourself during the process." ABOUT THE GUEST - Dr. Becky Whetstone - Marriage & Family TherapistBecky Whetstone, Ph.D. is a marriage and family therapist in private practice who specializes in trauma, co-dependency, and marriage crisis. A journalist and former features writer and columnist for the San Antonio Express-News, she created a singles movement dedicated toward kindness, decency, and integrity in dating that became a south Texas phenomenon.

Ik ben er een paar weken tussenuit, deze week om te werken aan de plannen voor de verfilming van mijn boek! Vandaar deze week nog een klassieke aflevering van Moord Podcast. Op 9 december 1974 heeft Kevin Smith nachtdienst in een autofabriek. Zijn vrouw Beverly vindt het een beetje eng alleen 's avonds dus dan belt hij haar altijd even om te horen hoe het gaat. Hij krijgt geen gehoor. Dat is verontrustend. Hij belt de buren, die verwarrend genoeg ook Smith heten maar geen familie zijn. Hij vraagt of Beverly misschien bij de buren is,die hebben namelijk ook een klein kind, net als Kevin en Beverly, en ze brengen veel tijd samen door. Maar Linda en Al Smith hebben haar niet gezien. Ik loop er wel even heen, zegt Linda. Ze belt aan, maar niemand doet open. Gek. Het licht brandt in de keuken. Linda kijkt naar binnen. En dan ziet ze Beverly liggen. In een grote plas bloed… De afgelopen bijna vijftig jaar hebben twee mensen deze moord bekend en zijn er meerdere mensen voor gearresteerd. Toch blijft deze moord - vooralsnog - onopgelost. Ik keek voor deze aflevering de documentaire The unsolved murder of Beverly Lynn Smith - ja, met twee keer een n, volgens Beverly Lyns familie is het met één n. Die documentaire is te zien op Amazon Prime. Is dat de moeite waard? Dan moet je even naar deze aflevering luisteren... Uiteraard. Wil je deze podcast steunen? Nou, dat kan! Koop mijn boek, De moord op mr. Jacques Wijsman! In dat boek raakt Josephine van Dil - Ter Heul betrokken bij deze zaak als haar broer verdacht wordt van de moord op de jonge advocaat Wijsman. Joop en haar vriendinnen moeten alles uit de kast trekken om de echte dader op te sporen, zelfs als dat steeds gevaarlijker lijkt te worden. Bestel een exemplaar voor jezelf en vertel het aan al je vrienden. Het is al "briljant", "krankzinnig" en "Agatha Christie meets Cissy van Marxveldt" genoemd. Inmiddels zijn we al bijna aan de derde druk en er zijn plannen voor een tvserie!!!! Te bestellen bij Bruna.nl, Bol.com maar natuurlijk ook bij je lokale boekhandel!!!! Zoals Naboekov in Sint-Truiden of Omeros in Den Haag. #steunjelokaleboekhandel
Lyn welcomes relationship and self-development coach Karin Calde to explore the intriguing topic of how plant-based alternatives and medicines can enhance intimacy and connection. Karin shares her journey into the world of psychedelics, particularly psilocybin ('magic' mushrooms), and discusses its therapeutic potential for mental health, emotional stability, and heightening relationships. The conversation delves into the accessibility of these plant-based substances, the importance of guided experiences, and the profound insights individuals can gain from their journey. KEY TAKEAWAYS Karin became intrigued by plant-based medicines, particularly psilocybin, after reading Michael Pollan's book "How to Change Your Mind." Her background in clinical psychology and self-development led her to explore how these substances could aid healing and personal growth. In Oregon, psilocybin is legally accessible to individuals over 21 without a prescription. Clients work with trained facilitators who guide them through the preparation, the experience itself, and integration of insights gained during the journey. The psilocybin experience can vary widely among individuals, often involving intense emotions and visual patterns. Many report feelings of connection, love, and spiritual insights, which can lead to significant personal revelations and changes in perspective. Post-experience integration is crucial for maximising the benefits of psilocybin. Ongoing support through coaching or therapy helps individuals apply valuable insights gained during their journey to their daily lives and relationships. BEST MOMENTS "I would call myself a self-development junkie. I've always been very drawn to healing and growth in all different kinds of ways." "It's a really big experience and it can be challenging. It's not something that you just decide, oh, yeah, I'll just do that and it'll be fun." "Most people start to come down after around four hours or so plus. And it's a very gradual, gentle come down." "There are studies that show that psilocybin and other psychedelics can be really helpful for connection, communication and emotional stability."

Lyn welcomes back Terraine Lebeau to discuss the controversial impact of woke culture on women's and children's health and safety. They delve into the definition of "woke," exploring its implications in various societal contexts, particularly in sports and education. The conversation also highlights concerns about fairness in women's athletics, the complexities of gender identity, and the potential dangers of allowing individuals to self-identify without medical transition. Lyn and Terraine also address the challenges faced by women in private spaces and the need for common-sense solutions that protect the most vulnerable members of society. KEY TAKEAWAYS Woke culture is described as an awareness of social issues, but it has evolved to align with ideologies that some believe are counterproductive to societal progress, particularly concerning women's and children's health and safety. The discussion highlights concerns about biological men identifying as women and competing in women's sports, which can create an unfair advantage and impact opportunities for female athletes. There are significant worries about the invasion of women's private spaces, such as locker rooms and bathrooms, by individuals who identify as women but are biologically male, raising issues of safety and comfort for women and girls. Youth and Gender Identity: The conversation emphasises the risks of allowing minors to make life-altering decisions regarding gender transition, advocating for a more cautious approach that allows individuals to reach adulthood before making such choices. Need for Common-Sense Solutions: A proposed solution to balance inclusivity and safety is the creation of separate spaces for individuals who identify as transgender, ensuring that everyone has access to facilities while protecting the rights and safety of women and children. BEST MOMENTS "Woke to me just means that what is something that we want to push to the mainstream and have them aware of it. But unfortunately, it seems these days it seems to be aligned with certain ideologies that are counterproductive to the progression of society." "You wouldn't get able-bodied people able to compete in the Paralympics, for example, because it wouldn't meet that criteria... it's not a fair playing field, is it?" "If you're going to allow this type of behaviour, then you want to regulate it better. You don't want someone to kind of quote unquote, make a joke of it like he did." "It's not only about the unfairness in sports, but also women having their private spaces invaded, such as the locker rooms, toilet facilities." "When you put someone in a situation to make a life-altering decision, and they make it, and then they regret it afterwards, what do you do with those people?"

Lyn welcomes love and divorce coach Cindy Stibbard to discuss the challenging journey of thriving after loss and divorce. Cindy shares her personal experiences, highlighting the often-overlooked emotional turmoil that precedes the decision to end a marriage. She emphasises the importance of understanding the seven stages of separation, which mirror the stages of grief, and how people can best navigate their feelings during this tumultuous time. KEY TAKEAWAYS Many individuals, especially women, find themselves in a prolonged state of contemplation before deciding to divorce. This period can last for years as they grapple with feelings of indecision, the complexities of their relationship and the impact on those that will be affected. Acceptance of Change: It's important to recognise that all relationships evolve over time. Just because a relationship was once fulfilling doesn't mean it will remain so. Accept that it can be okay for a relationship to end and that it's all part of personal growth and a time for new beginnings. Separation can be likened to the 7 stages of grief - shock, denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance/ hope & processing. Understanding these stages can encourage compassion between partners, as they may be at different points on this emotional journey. Having a clear plan and understanding of what life could look like post-divorce can empower individuals to make informed decisions about their future, whether that means staying in the marriage or planning an exit. BEST MOMENTS "A marriage erodes over time. It doesn't break overnight. For the person who's contemplating leaving, this decision is a long time coming." "I spent literally a couple of years contemplating... even though I was feeling unfulfilled and I didn't even understand why." "If you are unhappy in your relationship, chances are your partner is too. It just takes one person to be brave enough to admit it." "There is no prize for living an unlived life. Live like you know that this is a finite amount of time."

Lyn talks to relationship coach Cristie Cerniglia about how women can attract more attention and affection from their man. Cristie shares her personal journey, which began with the challenges of her parents' divorce and evolved into a passion for helping others strengthen their marriages. The discussion highlights the importance of shifting focus from complaints & criticism to gratitude & appreciation, the power of self-care, and the significance of women embracing their healthy feminine energy in relationships so men have the space to show up in their healthy masculine. KEY TAKEAWAYS Focus on Positivity: Shift your attention from what your partner isn't doing to what they are doing right. This change in focus will lead to your partner wanting to do more to make you happy and creates a more positive atmosphere in the relationship. Express Desires Clearly: Communicate your needs and desires in a way that inspires your partner, rather than complaining or demanding. This approach means you are more likely to be heard and receive more of what you want. Embrace Differences: Recognise and celebrate the differences between his masculine and your feminine energy. Understanding that the polarisation of these energies is what creates and enhances passion, chemistry, attraction and connection which is crucial for a healthy relationship. Take Responsibility for Your Happiness: Your happiness is your own responsibility. By focusing on self-care and personal happiness, you can create a more fulfilling relationship because it doesn't place that burden on your partner. Practice Gratitude: Show appreciation for your partner's efforts, no matter how small. Acknowledging their contributions can strengthen your bond and encourage them to continue to make more effort. BEST MOMENTS "When we focus on what he's not doing or what we wish he would do, we're going to spend most of our time unhappy." "I realised I was doing some of that and I needed to stop and I needed to treat him like a smart, capable man, because that's who I married." "It's not helpful to just keep pointing the finger at him and saying, it's you, it's you, it's you." "Your husband's number one priority is that you're happy. That's when he feels successful as a man and as a husband." "Miserable people don't have happy relationships. Happy people do. So let's get 'you' happy first." ABOUT THE GUEST - Cristie Cerniglia - Relationship Coach Cristie Cerniglia has been married to her husband for 30 years. She has always been passionate about marriage and family, particularly after her own parents’ divorce during her senior year of high school. When her own marriage began to feel rocky, the books, seminars and gurus she had poured over in the past lacked the information she needed to fix it--or even DIAGNOSE the problem! Then Cristie found Laura Doyle. Laura’s book and approach was completely unique, and SIMPLE! It was then that Cristie realised that she was the problem! Once she learned the ways she was repelling her husband, she shifted and became magnetic again! Cristie took a one-year online course with NY Times Bestselling Author Laura Doyle (The Empowered Wife) and trained and certified as a Relationship Coach. Cristie has seen remarkable improvements in not only her marriage, but many significant relationships. The Six Intimacy Skills she teaches are helpful and necessary to aid lonely, "stuck" wives rekindle their joy and romance and create the marriages they've dreamed of, with or without his efforts! She approaches the topic with humour and storytelling. Cristie has been speaking for 24 years now, sharing her stories in churches, ladies’ groups, and events. She also hosted her own local radio broadcast called "Contagious" for three years. Cristie loves to speak, teach, and share!

Lyn welcomes hypnotherapist and love coach Caroline Ackroyd to discuss the concept of 'love blocks' and how they hinder our ability to find true love. Caroline explains that love blocks are subconscious barriers that form because of negative past experiences and beliefs, often rooted in childhood trauma, that prevent individuals from feeling worthy of love. The conversation delves into common love blocks, such as feelings of unworthiness and fear of showing vulnerability and emphasises the importance of doing the inner work to heal these wounds so that we can attract healthy love relationships. KEY TAKEAWAYS Love blocks are subconscious barriers that prevent individuals from attacting healthy love in their lives. These usually stem from childhood experiences and beliefs that create fears around love and relationships. To remove love blocks, it's essential to explore childhood experiences and traumas that may have created negative beliefs about self-worth and lovability. Healing these wounds is crucial in order for us to feel deserving of healthy love. Cultural/ religeous beliefs and messages received during upbringing can also contribute to love blocks. It's important to identify and reframe any negative beliefs to align with a more positive healthier outlook on love. To attract a soulmate, one must first get clear on what they truly desire in a partner, focusing on how they want to 'feel' in the relationship rather than just looking at the physical attributes of a potential match. After doing the inner work and setting intentions for love, it's vital to 'let go' of the need to control 'how' and 'when' love will come into your life. Trusting the process allows for unexpected and magical connections to magnetically present themselves. BEST MOMENTS "Love blocks are subconscious blocks that actually prevent love from manifesting in our lives." "You cannot receive love if you don't feel worthy of it. Feeling that you're enough is going to be the foundation to attracting that love." "Being aware that you can view the term 'rejection' in a different way... see that as protection." "Vulnerability is really at the core of learning to receive, and you need to open yourself up to be able to receive." "If you have that desire in your heart to meet that special someone, it is a sign that that is there 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. She helps women heal love blocks that keep them single or in negative relationship patterns with emotionally unavailable or uncommitted men, and supports them to raise their standards through self-love. She herself overcame unworthiness and insecurity through inner child healing, reparenting, and wiring in a new upgraded self-concept with hypnotherapy. Longing to have a healthy, happy relationship, she specialised in Feminine Communication that leads to emotional connection and commitment, and Feminine Dating that creates sizzling polarity and lasting attraction.

Family is one of the most fundamental aspects of human existence. From birth forward, we're often indoctrinated to embrace the values and priorities prized by our parents and caregivers. In many foundational arenas—from religious and spiritual beliefs to social and political norms—our families and intergenerational patterns have a profound influence on our lives. Yet, from Dr. Carla's personal and professional experience, she's found that our beliefs and needs often change as we mature and explore who we are as individuals. Ideally, those we love choose to support and honor our chosen personal identities and belief systems, but, sadly, many families are torn apart as differences arise. It seems that love cannot always conquer all. Join Dr. Carla and expert Lyn Smith Gregory for a captivating exploration into the heart of family estrangement, individuation, and healthy connection. Topics discussed include boundaries, rebuilding relationships, divorce, estrangement, healthy communication, emotional intelligence, spiritual and religious transitions, trauma, political differences, gender identity, sexual orientation, and individuation.Please note that this episode contains sensitive material; listener discretion is advised.

Lyn welcomes self-love coach Nadja Hagen to discuss the challenges of being a people pleaser and the importance of setting healthy boundaries. Nadja shares her personal journey from being a people pleaser to learning how to establish firm but flexible boundaries that create reciprocal happier balanced relationships. KEY TAKEAWAYS People pleasing involves accommodating others at the expense of one's own well-being, leading to resentment and unhealthy/ unfulfilling relationships. It's important to recognise that being nice is different from people pleasing. Healthy boundaries are balanced and flexible, allowing for both rigidity and adaptability depending on the situation. It's essential to communicate boundaries in a kind and honest manner to create mutual respect. Before addressing unacceptable behaviours in relationships, it's crucial to reflect on what is no longer acceptable and articulate desired wants/ outcomes clearly. This self-awareness communicates our boundaries more effectively. If verbal communication feels daunting, writing a letter can be an alternative way to express boundaries. This method allows for a calmer exchange and provides a record of the conversation. It's important to acknowledge when a relationship is harmful, even if it involves family. You may have to consider keeping someone at arms length or letting go of them completely. It is possible to love someone from a distance whilst prioritising one's own emotional & mental health. BEST MOMENTS "People-pleasing is always saying yes, and accommodating other people at the expense of our own well-being." "When we say yes, when we truly want to say no, then over time resentment builds up." "We can learn to set healthy boundaries. We can learn to say no when it's right for us." "You do not have a relationship with 'potential'. You have a relationship with another human being." ABOUT THE GUEST - Nadja Hagen - Self-Love Coach Nadja Hagen is a Self-Love Coach for high-achieving women recovering from people-pleasing and building a life aligned with their values. She teaches women to set healthy boundaries, prioritize their needs and build mutual, connected relationships without the need to pretend to be someone they are not. Nadja's signature process is teaching clarity on personal values, healing emotional wounds and embodying self-love on a practical day-to-day level. She teaches from authenticity, sharing her knowledge as an ECA accredited Professional Coach & Trainer with more than 10 years of experience in corporate leadership roles. She has graduated from ESCP, one of Europe's leading business schools, and is trained in systemic work. As a recovered people-pleaser herself, she has helped hundreds of women to protect their peace through healthy boundaries and create their life intentionally in alignment with their core values. She lives with her daughter in Germany, on the countryside between Aachen and Cologne.

In this captivating episode, Rachel welcomes Lynn Smith Gregory, a direct descendant of Joseph Smith, the founder of the Mormon Church. Raised in a devout Mormon family in Utah, Lynn shares her deeply personal journey of leaving the church at the age of 19 after uncovering unsettling truths about her family's legacy and the religion's history. Lynn recounts the immense pressure to live up to her family's revered status within the Mormon community, grappling with perfectionism and a turbulent family environment. Now residing in Savannah, Georgia, Lynn is working on her memoir, "We Were Smiths," which explores the profound impact of leaving the Mormon Church as a Smith. She offers insights into the characteristics of cult-like control within the religion, highlighting the church's insistence on being the sole path to truth and salvation, and the challenges faced by those who choose to leave.

Lyn engages in a thought-provoking discussion with sex educator and relationship coach Mary Whitman Ortiz about the unexpected sexual problems that can arise after marriage. They explore how the transition from the romantic period of dating to the realities of married life can lead to stress and changes in the intimacy experienced between couples. KEY TAKEAWAYS Couples often experience unexpected changes in their sexual relationship after marriage, moving from a spontaneous romantic phase to a more routine dynamic that can lead to stress and misunderstandings. Open and honest communication is crucial for addressing sexual needs and desires. Couples should create a safe space for discussions about sex, ensuring both partners feel heard and respected. Men and women may have different sexual desires and ways of expressing intimacy. Understanding and acknowledging these differences can help couples navigate their sexual relationship more effectively. Stress from work, health issues, and life stages (like having children or menopause) can impact sexual intimacy. Couples should be proactive in recognising these stressors and discussing how they are affecting their relationship. BEST MOMENTS "Stress in different stages... can be work-related, health issues, or childbearing, and it really surprises them. We are forever changing, never staying the same." "I call it the sexual desire divide, because men and women want sex, experience sex differently... we just assume that our spouse has the same desires." "You have to dare to love because when you get that vulnerable, you don't know how your spouse is going to respond." "Sometimes a partner's words of affirmation might be an actual turn off for you rather than a turn on."

Lyn delves into the topic of emotional walls and the impact of past trauma/ heartbreak on our ability to love and connect with others more deeply. She explores the reasons behind why we become guarded in relationships, emphasising the importance of healing from heartbreak and trauma, including sexual abuse. Lyn encourages listeners to recognise their worth beyond their experiences and to embark on a self-help journey that fosters inner strength, resilience and open heartedness. By reclaiming their power and trusting in the Universe/ Creator/ God (whatever their belief) to deliver justice on those who have caused them pain, individuals can begin to lower their walls and feel free to embrace a life filled with love and authenticity. KEY TAKEAWAYS Many individuals build emotional walls due to past heartbreaks or trauma, which can hinder their ability to form deep loving relationships and feel fulfilled. Emphasising the importance of self-love, listeners are encouraged to recognise their worth beyond their experiences and to focus on healing from within. Living in fear allows past perpetrators to maintain power over us. Recognising this can help us reclaim our personal power and live a happier more liberated life. Trusting that the Universe/ God/ Higher Power will deliver justice to those who have caused us harm, provides us with a sense of freedom and allow individuals to heal and move forward without being burdened by vengeful thoughts or remaining stuck in victimhood due to past traumas. A Japanese quote - translates and highlights the idea that while 'the brave may face risks, those who are overly cautious may never truly live'. Embracing life despite it's challenges is essential for personal growth, happiness and fulfillment. BEST MOMENTS "Why do we have our guard up when it comes to love and romance? It's down to the fact that we've had previous relationships where we've been really hurt and heartbroken." "You are more than your body. You're a survivor. You will get stronger. You are magnificent. You are worthy. You are loved." "If we allow our perpetrators to make us live in fear, we're disempowering ourselves." "The Universe, Higher Power, God, whatever your belief, will meter out its own justice to the people that have done us wrong." "The brave may die but the cautious don't live. Do you want to live a life where you're not actually living and you're just existing?"

Warning: Please Be Advised - 18+ Adult Content Lyn welcomes alternative pleasure coach and mentor CJ to explore the intriguing world of BDSM and DS relationships. They discuss common misconceptions, such as:- BDSM and DS activities do not necessarily involve the giving or receiving of pain and can actually be exciting, pleasurable, playful and fun. CJ shares her personal journey into the realm of power exchange, highlighting the importance of communication, consent, and aftercare in fostering intimacy and connection. KEY TAKEAWAYS Definitions of BDSM and DS: BDSM stands for Bondage, Discipline, Sadism, and Masochism, while DS refers to Dominance and Submission. These concepts encompass a variety of relationship styles and power exchange dynamics. BDSM does not inherently involve pain. Participants can explore different aspects of BDSM and choose what they enjoy, allowing for a personalised experience that may or may not include pain. Clear communication and explicit consent are fundamental in BDSM relationships. Negotiating experiences and understanding each other's boundaries can enhance intimacy and trust. Aftercare is crucial following intense experiences in BDSM, as it helps individuals transition back to everyday life. This practice can also be beneficial in non-BDSM relationships, emphasising the need for emotional check-ins after intimate encounters. BEST MOMENTS "There is a very often, including myself, and in the media, a representation of BDSM as one thing... that involves pain. But you can cherry pick things you enjoy and say no to others." "When you surrender to someone, if trust is broken, even in minute ways, it's damaging... this container can really kind of enlighten a person." "It's possible to be one thing in your everyday life, and another in your pleasure experience. It's something fun that you can play with." "We all have something a little bit kinky that we enjoy... let's try to be open, but also have boundaries around people shaming us for things." ABOUT THE GUEST - CJ - Alternative Pleasure Coach & MentorCJ is an alternative pleasure coach and mentor who is all about liberating sexual expression and cultivating new pleasure palates. She gets off on debunking the myths around female aging, desire and desirability as well as talking about the taboo. She loves welcoming midlife+ women into alternative pleasures and lifestyles so that they can experience erotic evolution and neuro-expansion as they age.

Lyn welcomes dating coach and hypnotherapist Keshia Rice to discuss the essential topic of how to balance our feminine & masculine energies in our relationships. They explore the importance of understanding that both men and women possess both of these energies (regardless of gender/ sexual orientation), and how by recognising when to step into a specific energy it can massively enhance the romantic relationship dynamic. KEY TAKEAWAYS Both men and women possess masculine and feminine energies, which are essential to understand, epecially how they work in context of a romantic relationship dynamic. Masculine energy is associated with structure and boundaries, while feminine energy embodies flow and nurturing. Healthy relationships thrive on polarity, where one partner embodies a more masculine role while the other embodies a more feminine role. This dynamic can exist in both heterosexual and same-sex relationships. Polarity in romantic relationships is what creates more passion, attraction & chemistry. It doesn't matter which partner embodies which energy, as long as both partners understand and appreciate their respective roles. It is important for individuals to be aware & intentional about when to embrace their masculine or feminine energy, especially in romantic relationships. This intentionality also allows for better communication and understanding between partners. Both partners should feel safe to express vulnerability. This involves creating an environment where each person can share their feelings and emotions without judgment, fostering emotional intelligence, maturity and deeper connection. BEST MOMENTS "Understanding how important that is in all the areas of our life... masculine energy is structure and feminine energy is flow." "It's about educating women that we can use our masculine energy when it's appropriate... but it isn't about acting or being like a man." "Feminism at its core is choice... You can be a feminist and be a stay-at-home mother or a boss babe with your own empire." "You can have the sexual passion and intimacy in a relationship and the vulnerability and also have a relationship that's calm overall." ABOUT THE GUEST - Keshia Rice - Dating Coach & HypnotherapistKeshia Rice is a certified dating coach, hypnotherapist, and two-time Emmy-nominated journalist. Through her coaching program “Cherished Woman” Keshia has coached hundreds of successful women on how to attract quality men without compromising their values, identity, and femininity. Growing up in a Christian household, Keshia understands what it's like as a woman of faith to balance a conservative upbringing with the modern day hookup culture. Keshia is also the host of the podcast “Confidently Cherished” where she chats about everything from how to build confidence and attract your ideal partner to how to heal from past relationships and set boundaries that feel good.

Lyn meets somatic career mentor Juliana Linder to talk about the question - are you a "runner" or a "chaser" in your relationships. Juliana shares her personal journey of running away from conflict and the realisation that her patterns stemmed from a deeper issue of running away from herself. The discussion delves into the importance of self-awareness, self-acceptance, and understanding how the masculine and feminine energy dynamic works so that we can foster healthier relationships. KEY TAKEAWAYS A significant turning point in personal growth is recognising unhealthy patterns, such as running away from conflict or oneself, and the importance of self-reflection so we can break these cycles. We all embody both masculine and feminine energies, understanding how they work in a relationship dynamic is essential and can lead to conflict if they are not used in healthy ways. Even minor positive adjustments in behaviour & mindset can lead to significant changes in life outcomes, illustrating how small shifts compounded over time, can create a ripple effect in our personal growth and relationships. BEST MOMENTS "I had absorbed that tendency for myself in every single relationship that I had been through." "We can either decide that we're going to be a victim and allow life to happen to us, or empower ourselves and allow life to happen through us." "Self-awareness without self-acceptance will continue to create the cycle of self-suffering." "If you want passion in a relationship, there has to be that strong polarisation of the masculine & feminine energies." ABOUT THE GUEST - Juliana Linder - Somatic Career MentorJuliana believes that living in alignment with your true self is the key to deep fulfilment and lasting success. Once feeling caged by self-doubt and societal pressures, she transformed her life through radical self-acceptance and surrender, discovering her mission to guide others out of the cycle of pressure and into a life of purpose. Her personal motto, “break up with the past to create a life you're madly in love with,” is the foundation of her work. Through intuitive guidance, emotional release, and embodiment practices, Juliana empowers women to shed limiting beliefs and step into their most authentic, prosperous, and luxurious lives. Her mission is not only to help women reach success but to feel it, fully—aligning ambition with joy, so that success feels as good as it looks.

WARNING: This episode contains discussions some listeners may find upsetting. Please be advised Lyn welcomes Krystal Casey, a motivational speaker and women's empowerment coach, to discuss the sensitive topic of finding your voice and moving on from abuse. Krystal shares her harrowing personal story of discovering her husband's abuse of their daughter, the courageous steps she took to protect her children, and the journey of healing that followed. KEY TAKEAWAYS Finding & using your voice is a crucial part of overcoming abuse. Speaking out not only helps the individual but also empowers children who may not have the ability to voice their experiences. Recognising that generational patterns of abuse can be broken is essential. It requires a conscious effort to address and change these cycles for the benefit of future generations. When a child discloses abuse, it is vital for caregivers to believe them and provide support. This validation can significantly positively impact the healing process. Trauma can manifest physically and emotionally. Engaging in practices like yoga, mindfulness, and meditation can help release stored trauma and promote healing. While accountability for abusers is important, the focus should also be on the healing and well-being of survivors. Finding peace and moving forward is a priority, even amidst mixed feelings about getting justice. BEST MOMENTS "Abuse thrives in silence and darkness. Stepping into that light and beginning to use your voice is going to make such an impact." "I can certainly vouch for the fact that once you've shared, it makes a huge difference." "It took me a while to recognise that these generational patterns aren't created in one generation and they won't be broken in one generation." "Your voice matters. Your story matters. You matter." ABOUT THE GUEST - Krystal Casey - Motivational Speaker & Women's Empowerment Coach Krystal Casey is a mom of five, aerial yoga instructor, and women's empowerment coach on a mission to help moms break harmful generational cycles and heal the future for themselves and their children. After enduring deep personal trauma, Krystal found her own path to healing through storytelling and self-discovery. Krystal guides other women to reclaim their voices, break the chains of the past, and create stronger, healthier relationships with their kids. Through her workshops, speaking, and coaching, Krystal empowers moms to heal from the inside out, creating a ripple effect of change for generations to come.

Lyn explains the difference between healthy and unhealthy masculine energy. Building upon her previous discussion (in episode 288) where she explained the difference between healthy and unhealthy feminine energy. She emphasises that everyone embodies all the traits of the masculine & feminine energies (healthy & unhealthy), regardless of gender or sexual orientation. She outlines the characteristics of unhealthy masculine energy, such as chauvinism and aggression, contrasted with healthy masculine traits such as chivalry and protection, and highlights the importance of awareness in recognising and shifting from unhealthy to healthy energy states, which can significantly positivley impact our romantic relationships. KEY TAKEAWAYS There are both healthy and unhealthy masculine energy traits. Unhealthy masculine traits include being chauvinistic, aggressive, overly controlling and domineering, while healthy masculine traits encompass being chivalrous, protective, supportive, and courageous. In romantic relationships it's the polarisation of the masculine & feminine energies which creates passion, we are striving to educate people that you can have healthy passion without toxicity. Toxicity happens when one partner is in an unhealthy masculine energy state and the other in an unhealthy feminine energy state. Unhealthy energy states happen when we come from a place of fear, lack, worry and doubt. Healthy energy states happen when we come from a place of love, abundance, faith and trust. Awareness of one's energy state is crucial for attracting and maintaining healthy relationships. It is important to catch moments when unhealthy traits are demonstrated and to choose to respond differently rather than immediatly react from a place of fear. This self-awareness leads to personal growth and healthier, passionate, more fulfilling relationships. BEST MOMENTS "Unhealthy masculine energy is the traits of being chauvinistic, aggressive, overly controlling, cold/ distant, possessive, dominant." "For the healthiest relationships, obviously, you want to be embodying the traits of all the healthy traits be it masculine or be it feminine." "If you're in a toxic relationship, it's because you're both in an energy of coming from a place of fear, lack, worry and doubt." "It's all about catching those moments where we feel we're demonstrating unhealthy traits... and looking at ourselves in this and thinking how can we respond differently." "We the people can now be a role model for how to live a better, happier, healthier life."

Lyn welcomes Svietlana Lavrentidi, a Soulmate Alchemist, who shares her inspiring journey from overcoming an abusive relationship to helping others manifest their soulmate. Svietlana discusses the importance of understanding what you truly want in a partner, the necessity of taking action in the dating process, and the significance of addressing past traumas that may hinder personal growth. With insights on the 'Law of Attraction' and the energy we emit, Svietlana emphasises the need for self-reflection and healing to attract healthy love. KEY TAKEAWAYS Understanding What You Want: It's crucial to have clarity on what you truly desire in a partner. Being honest about your needs helps avoid wasting time and ensures that you attract the right person. Taking Action is Essential: Manifestation requires action. Simply wishing for a soulmate or visualizing a perfect partner is not enough; you must actively seek opportunities to meet new people. Addressing Past Baggage: Reflecting on past relationships and identifying limiting beliefs is vital. Many people find themselves repeating the same patterns in relationships due to unresolved traumas or past negative experiences. Energy and Mindset Matter: The energy you emit through your thoughts and feelings influences what you attract into your life. Focusing on positivity and abundance will lead to healthier relationships, while a mindset rooted in fear can keep you stuck & attracting unhealthy relationships. Self-Reflection and Growth: Engaging in self-reflection after dates can help you learn and grow. Understanding what you like and dislike, as well as recognising red flags, can improve your dating experiences and lead to better deeper connections. BEST MOMENTS "You need to be absolutely honest with what you want because you cannot lead people on. Even if you want a different kind of thing from what they want, you still need to be honest." "If you don't know what you want, then anything will be attracted to you, to prove to you what you don't want." "Our mess becomes our message. We become experts on the back of going through it all ourselves." "You have to work on yourself first. It's always very hard to take those first steps and to even see something you didn't see." "If you're already alone, if you've already had a broken heart, what do you have to lose? Just be daring." ABOUT THE GUEST - Svietlana Lavrentidi - Soulmate AlchemistSvietlana Lavrentidi is an immigrant turned expat. She has lived in 4 countries, acquired 2 nationalities, has been proposed to 7 times, got engaged 3 times, and is now happily married to her soulmate. It took Svietlana endless learning, development, observation and channelling to understand how love, life & energy works and how to intentionally/ consciously manifest. She helped others manifest their desires for many years even before she knew what she was doing!Website - https://svietlana.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 being in a soul fulfilling relationship which makes her feel alive, is full of passion and gives her inner peace.

Lyn appears on the world-renowned World Game Changers podcast alongside Paul Lowe, to discuss the theme "Things I Didn't Know." Lyn shares her wisdom and insights on personal development, emphasising the importance of shifting from a mindset of fear, lack, worry and doubt to one of love, abundance, faith and trust, so you can consistantly attract a happy peaceful life. KEY TAKEAWAYS Our thoughts and focus shape our experiences. Where focus goes energy flows. By concentrating on positive aspects and viewing situations through a lens of love, abundance, faith and trust, we can create a happier more fulfilling reality. Many individuals are unaware of how societal conditioning influences their mindset, often leading to us living in a default state of fear, lack, worry and doubt. Recognising this conditioning is the first step toward self-empowerment and change. Developing self-love can be challenging due to past conditioning and external influences. A helpful exercise is to look in a mirror and visualise oneself as a child, which can make it easier to express & extend compassion to that child and then subsequently progress to love one's current self. Humour plays a significant role in the healing process. It can provide relief and perspective during difficult times, making it easier to help individuals cope with loss and adversity. BEST MOMENTS "I didn't know until I'd done a lot of work on myself that things happen 'for you' and not 'to you', and that you have the power to be in control of the things that you create/ receive in your life." "Everything is a self-fulfilling prophecy, whether that's negative or positive. We attract what we focus on." "The easiest way to start the process of self-love is to think of yourself as a little boy or little girl." "Just having this support, guidance, mentorship... just somebody to give us that little bit of belief in ourselves." ABOUT THE INTERVIEWER Paul Lowe – Founder of World Game Changers Paul has made a remarkable transformation from existing for many years in dark, desperate despair; to now living a really healthy, happy & fulfilling life. From an early age, he was in the vice-like clutches of the demon drink & constantly embroiled within a dark cocktail of toxic beliefs, self-hate & destructive violence. Along with his empathetic and dedicated team of world-class coaches & mentors, Paul's purpose is deeply transformational: Developing World Game-Changers… He is extremely passionate about helping others to find their purpose, have a voice & ultimately, make a real difference. This has been built on a long & distinguished history of heart-centred coaching and mentoring. He has also been responsible for raising significant amounts of funds for many charities & good causes around the world; positively impacting & inspiring thousands of children – mainly from challenging backgrounds – within the UK & worldwide. Through this World Game-Changers podcast & books, he has been involved in – including being a best-selling co-author – Paul also helps others to get their own inspirational messages and stories out into the world; as well as offering support to many charitable organisations, in their development & fund-raising.

Lyn delves into the importance of women empowering themselves by stepping into their healthy feminine energy. She contrasts the traits of the 'healthy feminine' - such as feeling worthy, loved, and empowered - with those of the 'unhealthy feminine', which often involve feelings of victimhood and disempowerment. KEY TAKEAWAYS Recognising the characteristics of the healthy feminine, such as feeling empowered, worthy, and loved, versus the unhealthy feminine traits of victimhood and disempowerment is crucial for personal growth and healthy relationships. Being mindful of your thoughts and emotions is essential. If you find yourself in a negative mindset, it's important to identify the sources of those feelings and work towards shifting your focus to love, abundance, faith and trust. The principle that "where focus goes, energy flows" highlights the importance of maintaining a positive mindset. Negative thoughts can lead to attracting more negativity, while positive thoughts can create a more fulfilling reality. Acknowledging your role in creating your own experiences is vital. Instead of blaming others for your circumstances, consider how your mindset and actions contribute to your situation and how you can take charge of your own empowerment. BEST MOMENTS "The traits of a healthy feminine is that she feels empowered, she feels worthy, she feels that she's enough and she feels that she's loved even if that love is just coming from herself to herself." "If your thoughts are coming from a place of fear, lack, worry and doubt, you're going to unfortunately attract more of that." "Once you make that shift within yourself, you'll notice people treat you differently." "It's quite easy to point the finger and blame others for what we have in our lives, but what part are you also playing in that?" "True love starts with opening our hearts."

Lyn welcomes author Bret Davis to discuss reducing anxiety and building confidence, he shares some of the philosophies in his book, "Bret Isms."Bret also talks about his personal journey, including the influence of being brought up as the son of a professional football coach, and how his observations of super-confident people shaped his insights. The conversation delves into practical tips for managing anxiety, such as recognising anxious moments, focusing on positive self-talk, and setting healthy boundaries. KEY TAKEAWAYS Everyone experiences anxiety at some level, and it's important to acknowledge that feeling anxious is a shared human experience. Understanding the root cause of anxiety can help individuals manage it better. Techniques such as breaking tasks into smaller, manageable parts and reparing for worst-case scenarios can help alleviate feelings of overwhelm and anxiety. Taking time for quiet reflection or "listening" to one's inner voice can foster more self-awareness and lead to personal growth. This practice can help individuals identify areas for improvement and appreciate the value of self-love. Training the mind to focus on positive aspects of situations, rather than negative ones, can enhance self-esteem and overall happiness. This shift in perspective can make it easier to love oneself and be more confident. BEST MOMENTS "The purpose of the book was not to become a bestseller... if just a handful of other folks out in the world can live a happier existence, then I feel we all owe it to each other to kind of make that a goal." "The eagle that chases two rabbits catches none. So I often remind myself, just catch your first rabbit... Once you start seeing that and you see your to-do list shrinking, your anxiety level goes down." "You can't trip over what's behind you. We get so caught up in not only beating ourselves up over mistakes we've made in the past... the power lies within myself and my inner voice to create a better, positive existence." "I think we can sometimes fall into the trap of thinking we're being the bigger person by being more forgiving. But actually, what we're doing is tolerating behaviour we shouldn't be tolerating." ABOUT THE GUEST - Bret Davis - Author Having grown up in the world of professional sports with a father who was a NFL coach and executive, Bret has had the opportunity to observe some of the top leaders and motivators throughout his childhood and into his young adulthood. Bret has been able to turn his learnings and observations into a powerful Amazon #1 best-selling self-help book ‘Bret Isms' for those looking to boost their confidence and reduce anxiety.

Escaping the Shadows with Lyn Smith Gregory Growing up Mormon, Lyn Smith Gregory struggled to be perfect and protect her family's high-profile image within The Church and community. At seventeen, she would leave home to attend college and soon become exposed to ideas that countered everything she had been taught and believed. Disillusioned by what she discovered and feeling broken, Lyn left her faith and family in search of establishing her own identity. However, it wasn't going to be as easy as she thought. Riddled with guilt and old perfection beliefs, Lyn quickly learned that not everyone supported her decisions. Finding herself shunned by her family and community, Lyn would be forced to reexamine who she was and what was faithful to her and her family and find an identity and path through this new reality. Now the author of “We Were Smiths: Escaping the Shadow of Joseph Smith's Mormon Legacy,” Lyn shares in her memoir a unique and in-depth account of what it was like growing up within the Mormon Church as the great-great-granddaughter of Samuel Smith and what happened when she and her sister decided to break away from The Church and their family. Listen in as Lyn, and I talk about her experience in the confinements of the Mormon faith, her journey once she left, and the challenges she overcame from it to find a path that would lead her to FEARLESS HAPPYNESS!

This time, a heartfelt conversation between Lyn and guest Danielle Shea, a healing coach for sexual assault survivors. Danielle discusses how sexual trauma can affect relationships, sharing her personal journey of healing from trauma and the importance of self-reflection and journaling as tools for healing. The conversation delves into the impact of trauma on relationships, boundaries, and the journey from victim to survivor to thriver. KEY TAKEAWAYS Healing from sexual trauma is possible and we must encourage individuals to take steps towards healing and self-awareness. Journaling is highlighted as a powerful tool for self-reflection and understanding one's emotions and behaviours related to trauma. Setting boundaries and listening to one's body cues are essential in rebuilding trust with oneself and navigating relationships post-trauma. Create safe spaces for processing emotions, seek support, and engage in healing practices like journaling. BEST MOMENTS "I just want everyone listening to know that... healing is possible... And this is coming from two people who've experienced this abuse who have." "I think it's also important to stress that not to label ourselves as victims, because we're not victims, we're survivors of this." "It's changing that mindset, changing that perspective, because your trauma is not your identity. It doesn't need to keep you small."

Lyn discusses the topic of how to magnetise soul love with expert guest Sreshtha Tewari, a love coach. Sreshtha shares her personal journey of self-discovery after a divorce, which led her to become passionate about helping women attract soulful relationships. The conversation delves into the concepts of twin flames, soulmates, and authenticity, emphasising the importance of clearing emotional baggage and reprogramming beliefs to manifest true love. KEY TAKEAWAYS Believing in the possibility of soul love is the first step towards attracting it into your life. Emotional work, such as clearing past hurts and negative beliefs, is crucial in magnetising soul love. Visualisation techniques, even starting with familiar images, can help in manifesting soul love. Self-talk and reframing negative beliefs play a significant role in creating a positive reality for attracting soul love. Authenticity and self-acceptance are key in vibrating at a higher frequency to attract a soulmate or twin flame. BEST MOMENTS "I really started to understand more about myself And it led me to do things I was always interested in, but kind of held myself back on." "A twin flame is the same soul split into two.

This week, a captivating discussion on the topic of embodying pleasure with guest Berenice Brito, a wellness weaver and pleasure coach. Lyn and Berenice delve into the misconception that pleasure is solely related to sexual experiences, highlighting the importance of engaging all our senses to experience pleasure in variety of ways in all aspects of our life. Berenice shares her personal journey of overcoming self-perceived limitations to discover the true essence of how to experience pleasure, emphasising the significance of connecting with one's body and all our senses. The conversation also touches on the impact of the five love languages in relationships and the role of 'quality time' in order to foster intimacy. KEY TAKEAWAYS Embodying pleasure is not just about sexual experiences, it can be found in everyday moments by consciously engaging all our senses. Pleasure can be optimised by focusing on the connection with our body and being present in the moment. Understanding, communicating and being aware of the five love languages can enhance relationships and increase pleasure. Taking time to do nothing but observe our thoughts for a few minutes daily can increase self-awareness and connection with oneself. True love starts with opening our hearts and spreads care and understanding in our relationships. BEST MOMENTS "Pleasure comes through all the senses, not just the five senses, but also the sixth sense, which many call 'intuition' and others call connection with your higher self." "I thought that having that much pleasure during intimacy was not something that was real. It was something that only happened in books, only happened on TV." "Quality time' is my number one. It goes in sync with everything I've been talking about in this podcast, the quality of the time you're spending together, the quality of time of the experience itself." "Most definitely, the love languages are excellent and super important for any relationship to be successful and have the most pleasure it can."
