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

Boundary-Setting Secrets: Transform Your Life and Business with Barb Nagle
Do you often say “yes” when you want to say “no,” putting others’ needs above your own? In this episode of the True Love Knots Podcast, Maria is joined by Barb Nagle, the “BNBC Coach,” who shares her journey of overcoming codependency and building firm boundaries through 12-step recovery. Now a boundaries coach, Barb helps professional women—like her past self—create healthy boundaries that transform their lives and careers. Barb offers practical strategies to reduce guilt and reclaim personal power through tiered service packages, clear communication, and values-aligned boundaries. Ready to say “no” when it matters most? Tune in! Standout Quotes: “When one person in an interaction changes the dynamics with those around them, it automatically shifts things. You can’t control other people, but you can influence them by changing the dance steps you share with them.” “I want the patriarchy to crumble, and that’s not going to happen if we keep saying “yes” to everything.” “The hard part about setting boundaries is dealing with the emotions that arise, as guilt and shame are typically the feelings that come up.” Key Takeaways: Identify your top 5 core values and use them as guideposts to set boundaries that support and promote those values. Communicate your boundaries clearly and empowerfully rather than expecting others to know them. Don’t be afraid to speak up when something doesn’t work for you. Consider creating tiered service packages and communication boundaries to set healthy expectations with clients or customers, especially those you have existing relationships with. Reflect on where you may be saying “yes” when you really want to say “no.” What is the cost to you, and how can you start setting more boundaries to prioritize your own needs? Surround yourself with a support system, whether it’s a coach or a community, to help you navigate the emotions and challenges of setting boundaries, especially with loved ones.

She reflects on her journey through a difficult marriage, personal growth, and her work helping others release old patterns. Junie introduces listeners to the concept of shadow work and how it can help them unpack unconscious programming and heal from past wounds. Standout Quotes: “When we can let go of our baggage and come into the next relationship with a carry-on instead of a U-Haul, we can have magnificent lives.” – Junie Moon “Love is risky business. But knowing who you are, and loving yourself, makes all the difference.” – Junie Moon “We don’t want pain, but what’s more painful is not knowing who we really are and what’s driving our behaviors.” – Junie Moon Key Takeaways: Shadow work is a transformative process that helps uncover and heal unconscious beliefs that affect relationships.
