Lyn Smith, "The Queen Of HEARTS”, is joined by Marla Martenson, "The Mystical Matchmaker”, a Los Angeles based cupid who offers practical advice on how to improve self-esteem, nurture a healthy relationship and get in touch with our spiritual side on the quest to find true love. KEY TAKEAWAYS Having someone special in your life, especially around certain key times in the year, can make life so much happier.  When women struggle with self-esteem, often this comes and develops from their childhood experiences. Abusive upbringings can unconsciously lead to attracting abusive relationships. By being more consciously aware of ourselves and clearing that baggage, we can move forward towards a much improved opinion of ourselves and also a healthier kind of love. Water is programmable and due to the chemical make-up of our body, which is mainly water, Marla advises holding a bottle containing purified water and working on our energy by repeating positive statements and affirmations. We can essentially spiritually charge the water with positivity before drinking it! The rise of online dating and the dismissive nature of apps such as Tinder have led to a marked increase in impoliteness when it comes to appraising and assessing a potential partner. Approaching a potential partner, putting yourself out there and the very act of offering your love to someone, is a nerve-wracking experience. We need to remember to be kind in our responses even if we are not interested, as the effects can be devastating. Take a little time to craft your rejection sentence and remember to be nice. Photographs are so important. If you’re trying to attract a partner online, take some time to produce a well-shot, truly representative photo of yourself that isn’t taken at some strange angle or from some obscure point of view. Appraising potential dating photos is one of the services offered by Marla because they’re so important, especially on dating sites. Most people will make an instant decision based on your picture. When out on a date pay attention and make your partner feel special. By making your date feel as though they are the only person in the room and being fully present, you will massively amplify your appeal to any potential partner. Video chatting with prospective matches via online dating sites can be a safe way to make sure that you’re not only a good fit for each other, but to better verify that the person is who they say they are.
