    First Dates: Don’t Make These Mistakes - Lyn Smith

    Lyn examines how best to approach first dates and the common mistakes people make when evaluating potential partners, focussing upon the importance of not dismissing someone after just one meeting, especially if overall there was a feel good vibe.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Initial chemistry or attraction may not be present on a first date, but that doesn't mean a potential relationship should be dismissed. It's important to give people a chance to reveal their true selves over time.
    • After a first date, reflect on how you felt about yourself rather than solely on the other person. If you had a good time and felt comfortable, it's definitely worth considering a second date.
    • Studies show that many couples who eventually form strong, healthy long term relationships did not feel an immediate spark on their first date. Getting to know someone better can certainly lead to a deeper connection.
    • It's easy to dismiss someone based on initial impressions or lack of chemistry. However, taking the time to explore a relationship can reveal attractive traits that were not initially apparent on a first date.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "Sometimes on first dates, people are very nervous... there might not automatically be chemistry and sparks flying to start with."

    "If you've had a good time... it doesn't mean that it can't happen further down the line."

    "What do you feel about yourself after that date? If there's loads of negatives and red flags, fair enough, no second date."


    "It does take more than a first date to get to know somebody properly, doesn't it?"

    The Feminine Effect - Discovering Your True Nature - Lyn Smith & Chelsea Ann

    Lyn welcomes special guest Chelsea Ann, author of "The Feminine Effect." Chelsea shares her transformative journey of self-discovery and the importance of returning to our feminine nature. Drawing from her personal experiences, including her marriage and subsequent divorce, she discusses the societal pressures that lead women to adopt more masculine traits, often at the expense of their emotional and spiritual well-being.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • The journey to fulfilment for women involves reconnecting with their feminine nature, which leads to healing mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually.
    • Relationships serve as a mirror for personal growth and healing. Underlying issues relating to past trauma and familial dysfunction will affect the dynamics within our relationships.
    • Recognising and appreciating the contributions of our man is essential. Respect and appreciation promotes a healthier relationship dynamic and allows us to be embraced and cherished for our femininity.
    • Women often feel pressured to define their worth through external achievements, such as financial success, which can lead to feelings of inadequacy and disconnection, rather than through our inherent value and vulnerability which leads to more fulfillment & connection.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "You're not in your nature as a woman. That's what you're missing."

    "If we were just more in our authentic nature... we can then heal mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually."

    "We don't need to keep ruining our lives to try to touch into that."

    "We don't appreciate them. We don't say, thank you. We're always looking for lack."

    ABOUT THE GUEST - Chelsea Ann - Women's Health Practitioner/ Author

    Chelsea Ann, MSN, FNP, a Board-Certified Nurse Practitioner, integrative medicine and women’s health practitioner, modern healer, and podcast host.

    Chelsea Ann’s mission is to take women back to their authenticity—to who they really are—she does this by asking women to feel and see her life as she did: a life that has taken her from the extremes of poverty and wealth, of great fear and power, of divorce and death, and finally into laughter and joy and unconditional love.

    The Truth About Trans/ Self Identification - Lyn Smith

    Lyn looks at the complex and controversial topic of trans and self-identification. Drawing from her personal experiences and extensive research, Lyn expresses her concerns about gender dysphoria and what's been offered as a one treatment fits all 'trans' pathway (transition to look/ identify as the opposite sex) solution, and the harrowing implications, particularly on young children and adolescents. 

    She discusses the potential risks associated with transitioning, including mental health issues, irreversible sexual function, sterilisation and the permanent removal of healthy body parts.

    Lyn also raises the alarm on predetory male perpetrators who are exploiting self identity/ trans to gain accessibility to women/ girls private spaces and sports.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Many individuals diagnosed with gender dysphoria may have underlying issues such as trauma, abuse, be on the neurodivergent spectrum or have confusion over their sexual orientation during adolescence, which could be treated with safe therapeutic options, rather than them automatically being pushed down a potentiall harmful trans pathway.
    • The discussion highlights the probable long-term consequences of medical interventions like puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and irreversible proceedures/ surgeries, particularly for children who are not emotionally/ mentally mature enough and do not fully understand the lifetime implications of their decisions.
    • Huge concerns are being born out, allowing men to self-identify as women has opened the door for predatory male perpetrators to exploit being able to gain access to women’s and girl's safe spaces, endangering women and girls in areas where they should feel secure and protected.
    • The conversation distinguishes between two main categories of men who identify as transwomen:

    1. Homosexual transsexuals, who may transition due to gender dysphoria or traumatic childhood experiences, and

    2. Autogenophiles, men who have a sexual fetish related to seeing themselves as female.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "I think this is an area in our lives at the minute which is leaving the door open for predatory men to be able to access vulnerable women and girls."

    "There are lots of reasons why people and children in particular, might suffer from gender dysphoria, especially through their vulnerable years of adolescence and puberty."

    "What comes after that? Certainly, possibly surgeries, where for boys that can lead to them having their genitals removed."

    Erectile Dysfunction Cured: No Pills or Surgeries - Lyn Smith & Jeffrey Nuziard

    Lyn talks to Jeffrey Nuziard, a sexual health and wellness expert and the developer of the patented RegenMax treatment. 

    Jeffrey shares his personal, devastating experience with erectile dysfunction (ED) that began in his 40s, which ultimately led him on a 15-year quest to find a genuine cure. He explains the root cause of physical ED is not poor blood flow (as conventional medicine suggests), but rather the degeneration of collagen in the penile tissue due to dropping testosterone levels as men and women age

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Contrary to popular belief, the primary cause of physical erectile dysfunction is not simply poor blood flow, but the breakdown of collagen that holds together the spongy tissues (corpora cavernosa) inside the penis
    • Dropping testosterone levels, which begin to decline by an average of 2% per year in our 20s, activate the body's ageing process, causing the body to shut down non-essential functions like collagen production
    • The RegenMax treatment focuses on regenerative medicine by using a combination of techniques, including heat and acoustic sources, to cause micro-tears in the tissue
    • Women also experience atrophy due to collagen and hormone loss, leading to issues like clitoral atrophy and vaginal relaxation syndrome

    BEST MOMENTS

    "I discovered that everybody says [poor] blood flow is the cause of erectile dysfunction, but it’s not."

    "Losing testosterone activates the ageing process."

    "The first thing that your body shuts down is our production of collagen."

    "Our bodies are able to regenerate themselves... that’s how we were designed."

    ABOUT THE GUEST - Jeffrey Nuziard - Sexual Health & Wellness Expert

    Jeff Nuziard is the founder of Sexual Wellness Centers of America and the innovator of REGENmax®, the only patented protocol proven to cure and prevent erectile and vaginal dysfunction. More than 3,000 patients have completed the program, with outcomes that consistently reflect the remarkable 97.2% success rate first demonstrated in his clinical trial.

    Why Women Leave: The Emotional Detachment Process - Lyn Smith

    This deeply personal episode explores the phases of emotional detachment within a relationship, specifically from a woman's perspective, using a powerful analogy of an emotional "bank account." 

    Lyn shares her own experiences across two long-term relationships, detailing five stages—from the initial unconscious observation of negative feelings to the final, total emotional and physical withdrawal

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • A relationship begins with a full "bank account" of emotional energy, but as issues arise, the account starts to become slowly and unconsciously depleted until a woman feels emotionally bankrupt.
    • The initial phase involves silently observing and compounding feelings of disappointment and unfulfilment without understanding the root cause, which then progresses to a breakdown in communication and feeling unheard.
    • As emotional energy decreases, a woman slowly withdraws her investment in the relationship, showing less spontaneity, affection, and initiation, and instead starts taking personal responsibility for her own happiness through external activities.
    • The final stage is the "whip of indifference," where the emotional bank account reaches zero, and the woman has completely checked out—a state of emotional bankruptcy where there is no more energy left to invest, and she is out of the relationship both emotionally and physically.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "Neither relationship was a toxic relationship... but it just got to the stage where we were on different paths and the relationships had run their course."

    "What I noticed is that, first and foremost, I was observing myself, but not actually consciously at the time... that I was silently observing, certain feelings... like disappointment, feeling unfulfilled."

    "Unconsciously, you start to stop communicating, and this can have a draining effect, it can really be a phase where you're feeling exhausted and frustrated."

    "I suppose in hindsight, I realise now that these things were going on, but I felt powerless to actually stop the train now that it was pulling out the station, so to speak."

    Navigating Co-Parenting: Conflicts & Resolutions - Lyn Smith & Peggy Walsh

    Lyn talks to family law expert and retired judge Peggy Walsh about the challenges of high-conflict co-parenting, offering strategies for separating couples to resolve disputes and prioritise their child's well-being. 

    Peggy focusses upon the fact that the people who love the child are best suited to make decisions, not a judge or "stranger," and explains that intense conflict often arises when deep, intimate relationships end

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • A judge or lawyer is the wrong person to make decisions about a child; the parents who love the child are the best people to make those decisions.
    • High-conflict co-parenting arises because it's very difficult for people who were in love and planned to be together forever to then separate, and this hurt causes everything—even small things—to become a massive problem.
    • Many disputes taken to family court are over small issues—like what a child ate for dinner—which are escalated because of the intense betrayal and negative feelings between the ex-partners, confirming the saying: "hurt people hurt people".
    • To resolve conflict, parents must stop focusing on the ex-partner and any betrayal, take their power back, and decide that they want peace by focusing on what is good, what they want to see improved, and creating boundaries to de-escalate harmful communication.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "The people who love the child are the best people to make decisions about him/ her."

    "If you don't want a stranger to make decisions about your life, you don't want a stranger to make decisions about your child's life."

    "They stop talking about that person, they gain the power of, well, where is the attention focused? I want to talk about my kid and the good things that are happening with my kid, or I want to talk about my life."

    "You're also setting examples for children. When you stay in a relationship that you don't want to stay in, that's what they're going to think about when they are in that place too."

    ABOUT THE GUEST - Peggy Walsh - Family Law Expert Peggy Walsh is a retired family court and state Supreme Court judge. Before she became a judge, she represented people in divorce custody and other litigation.  Peggy is a New York-licensed attorney but has chosen to stay out of the courtroom because there are better ways of resolving disputes.

    During her eighteen years on the bench—fourteen in family court and four in supreme court handling matrimonial cases—she witnessed firsthand how court proceedings can inflict irreparable damage on both children and adults. More importantly, Peggy learned that this suffering is often preventable.   LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/peggy-walsh-1a5b2133

    Divorce: When 2 Tribes Go To War? - Lyn Smith & Daniel Ryan

    Lyn sits down with Daniel Ryan, "the family law guy," to discuss a difficult topic: what happens when couples reach the point of separation and divorce?

    Daniel, a family law practitioner & relationship expert shares his unique perspective on a legal system that he says often unnecessarily turns breakups into battlefields.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Rather than fighting to destroy each other, Daniel's firm helps clients find a more equitable, negotiated outcome, reminding them that they once loved one another.
    • A trend of relationships ending because people get "bored" with their partners and seek something new is discussed.
    • The two experts discuss the need for more education in schools about how to have healthy relationships, as many people repeat the toxic cycles they grew up with.
    • Daniel’s practice offers a holistic approach that includes recommending therapy and counseling to help clients get back to a happy and fulfilled life

    BEST MOMENTS

    "The approach you're currently taking is perhaps not the most appropriate one, and you're not really thinking about your children."

    "My remit is not to destroy one of you."

    "I am on second and third generation clients, where I think, 'Oh yeah, I did your mum's divorce,' and here I am doing yours."

    "All children have an absolute right to a fantastic childhood."

    ABOUT THE GUEST - Daniel Ryan - Family Law Expert Daniel Ryan is the voice behind That Family Law Guy, a candid and compassionate advocate for parents navigating the storm of separation, custody battles, and domestic abuse conflict. He provides unfiltered expertise with real-world impact.
    Daniel brings many years of frontline experience supporting families through divorce, custody, and domestic conflict—without hiding behind legal jargon.

    Life: How To Ride The Next Wave - Lyn Smith & Wonder Wendy

    Lyn talks to Wonder Wendy, a podcaster dedicated to providing open-source programming for the human mind, about the concept of "riding the next wave of life," particularly for women, emphasising the importance of resilience and adaptability in each phase.

    Wendy shares her personal journey, including her experiences with marriage, motherhood, and the lessons learned from each chapter of her life, and discusses how challenges can lead to growth and self-discovery.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • The concept of open source programming is likened to computer programming, where ideas and resources are shared freely to benefit others. This approach is applied to personal development, encouraging individuals to rewrite their mental programming to live a fulfilling life.
    • Life is like surfing, where individuals must learn to navigate both the high and the low waves. Embracing the natural cycles of life, including the inevitability of challenges, is essential for personal growth and resilience.
    • Encourage open discussions about mistakes and challenges, they should not be viewed negatively; instead, see them as opportunities for reflection and learning, that can nuture healthier mindsets and personal growth.
    • Recognising the need for personal space and alone time is crucial for maintaining a healthy relationship. Understanding our own needs can lead to better self-awareness and stronger connections with others.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "I just want to help people live better lives, what I call the wonderful bucket list life, and be the fullest person they can be, especially at this point in my life."

    "If you make someone's life too easy, you don't let them fight a little bit; they don't develop the necessary strength they need to be their best self."

    "The best way to ride the next wave is to both be alert and open. You need to position yourself so that you're ready for those challenges."

    "I realised I need time alone... if I can't bring it all back in and shut down every so often, that's where I draw my energy."

    ABOUT THE GUEST

    How Can I Connect To My Feminine Energy? - Lyn Smith

    Lyn discusses how masculine and feminine energy works in the dynamic of a romantic relationship, highlighting how societal conditioning sometimes leads women to (often unconsciously) exude more masculine energy in their lives, and the impact this may have on their romantic relationships. Lyn explains the significance of being aware of how masculine & feminine energy affects our behaviours and results, so we can have/ attract healthier relationships with more intimacy, passion and fulfillment.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • There is a difference between masculine & feminine energy, masculine energy is associated with doing, thinking and action, while feminine energy is about being, intuition, and flow.

    • Women may default into masculine energy as a protection mechanism due to past traumas or heartbreaks. This can hinder their ability to attract healthy masculine energy partners

    • It's important for individuals to become more aware of their behaviours and how they show up in relationships. Some women need to shift from a mindset of needing to control to one of 'letting go' to help nuture healthier connections.

    • Feeling feminine is personal and varies from woman to woman. It’s essential to identify what makes YOU feel more feminine, whether it’s through activities, clothing, accessories, or personal grooming

    BEST MOMENTS

    "The masculine and feminine energy dynamic really plays a huge part in the success of our relationships."

    "If we've had past trauma and heartbreaks, it's quite common for women to default into masculine energy as protection."

    "The feminine energy is all about relinquishing control."

    "Be aware that if you've not done the work on yourself, then you might need to delve into doing some of that to actually heal."

    Menopause & Intimacy Challenges - Lyn Smith & Dr. Alexia Harrigan

    Lyn welcomes Dr. Alexia Harrigan, a powerhouse physical therapist and founder of Pelvis Power PT. Together, they delve into the crucial topic of women's health, specifically focusing on menopause and the intimacy challenges that can arise during this phase. Dr. Lexie shares her personal journey into pelvic health physical therapy, highlighting the importance of addressing pelvic pain and bladder issues that many women suffer with in silence. With over 20 years of experience, she emphasizes the significance of open communication with healthcare providers and partners, as well as the benefits of pelvic floor physical therapy

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Many women suffer from pelvic pain and intimacy challenges after childbirth, often feeling guilt and shame. It's important to recognise that these issues can be treated and are not just a normal part of being a woman.

    • Practicing diaphragmatic breathing can help improve pelvic floor function and reduce tension. This technique involves deep breathing that engages the diaphragm, promoting relaxation and coordination of pelvic floor muscles.

    • Open communication with partners about intimacy challenges is crucial. Sharing preferences and concerns can lead to better experiences and help partners understand how to provide support.

    • Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can lead to intimacy challenges, such as decreased lubrication and pain during intercourse. Women may need to use more lubrication and engage in more foreplay to enhance comfort.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "We don't have to live life with leakage. We don't have to live life with pelvic pain... just because we're women, that doesn't mean we can't get treatment and live our best lives."

    "When those hormones decrease... the quality of the tissues... gets more fragile. They're not as plump, they're not as strong, they're not as springy."

    "Diaphragmatic breathing can help re-coordinate that pelvic floor function and also exercise those muscles."

    "I think a lot of women are suffering in silence over this... we don't really know how to address it in terms of knowing that it can actually be relieved."


    ABOUT THE GUEST - Dr. Alexia “Lexi” Harrigan
    Dr. Alexia “Lexi” Harrigan, PT, DPT is the founder of Pelvis Power PT, a concierge physical therapy practice based in the DFW metroplex. With 20 years of experience, she specializes in women’s pelvic health, chronic pain management, and oncology rehab.
    Dr. Lexi is passionate about educating and empowering women to take radical ownership of their health. She is also the author of Sunny with a Chance of Showers: A Story of Love, Loss, and Hope, a heartfelt memoir blending personal grief with resilience and healing.

Barbara shares her personal journey from a challenging divorce to finding lasting love, emphasising the importance of self-discovery and emotional healing by using self-help techniques such as EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique also known as tapping) and journaling.

    The conversation delves into the significance of admitting one's desires for love, the impact of societal conditioning on relationships, and the power of thoughts in manifesting a soulmate. 

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • A crucial step in attracting a soulmate is acknowledging and admitting to oneself the desire for love and companionship, without shame or fear of societal expectations.
    • Understanding the principle that thoughts shape our reality is essential. Positive affirmations and beliefs about oneself can attract our desired relationship, while negative thoughts & beliefs can lead to creating negative repeat patterns and unfulfilling/ unhealthy relationships.
    • Using practices like EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) or other self-help strategies can clear subconscious blockages and limiting beliefs that hinder the ability to attract a healthy soulmate.
    • Having a clear vision statement and creating a vision board for your desired relationship can help manifest specific qualities and experiences in a partner, reinforcing what one truly wants in a loving relationship.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "I think the first thing is to admit to yourself that this is what you really want and not to be ashamed of it."

    "Thoughts become things. If you think you can't, you can't. If you think you can, you can."

    "When we have trauma in our youth, our soul actually fractures."

    "I think quite a lot of us do get conditioned by our environment, whether that's our parents, our friendship groups, the media that we consume."

    "You set your intention for what you want. You admit to yourself that you want love and that you're deserving of it."

    ABOUT THE GUEST

    Barbara Magro Berg - Loving Relationship Mentor & Author

    From the outside, it looked like Barbara had created a dream life with a successful career in the travel publishing industry that included frequent international trips, many wonderful friends, and a close family. Yet on the inside, something was missing, and she yearned for a special man to share her life with.

    After being encouraged by family and friends for many years to “give up on finding love” and appreciate the positive aspects her life already held, at the age of 59, her heartfelt dream of attracting and marrying her soulmate came true! By this time Barbara had been single for 20+ years and finally, her desire to love and be loved was achieved by mastering a set of scientific and spiritual principles.
