Speaker 1 (00:01):
Ladies and gentlemen, Good afternoon, Welcome on the Culture News.
My name is David Sariro, and I have the pleasure
to have to don't night Hout Radio our wonderful, wonderful lady.
Her name is Cynthia Marx, and she is the host
and creator of a wonderful podcast called and Now Love.
(00:24):
These three words in capitol letters and now love.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
It is such a beautiful, beautiful podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
She's gonna tell us about all of it, and I
hope all of you guys will be able to listen
to her podcast and subscribe. Right now over the phone
is the one and only Cynthia Mark. Cynthia, how are
you today?
Speaker 3 (00:45):
I'm great, Hello, David, thank you for that fabulous introduction.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
No, it's a thank you to you. It's a pleasure
having you over the phone.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
So would you be so kind to tell me a
little bit about what motivated you, what inspired you to
I should say, create this podcasts absolutely so.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
The podcast is based on the work of my fabulous
husband who passed away four years ago. He was a
renowned psychoanalyst and his message ultimately was all about love
and how important it is for all of us to
learn how to operate from that space. And I promise
(01:30):
you at the base of each of us is a core,
a little seed of love. Some of it's bigger than
a seed, some isn't. But no matter what we have,
we have to make that grow. And I learned from
him how to find self love and therefore give love,
receive love fully. And I just want each individual to
(01:51):
have that experience, that's the human experience.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
And you've been doing that so beautifully.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
And again we have a special thought for your beloved
late husband. I'm sure he's smiling all the way above
of us, being so proud of you. So now what
he's And now love the podcast and how does it
pertain to personal health and growth?
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Well? And now, love, of course is about love as
I just described it. And if we just get to
the place where we understand how important self love is,
and with that understanding, create a curiosity to get ourselves there,
to really feeling self love, then we can't help but
(02:41):
think about personal health and growth, both emotionally and physically,
and in fact we'll come to understand how intertwined.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Those two are.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
It's pretty fabulous to put all of these things in
one picture. Love, personal health, personal growth and then see
how you can move out into the world with these
things and help others.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
And indeed you've been so successful by doing that. So
now about if you could tell us a little bit
about your late husband and how you help you understand
how your dreams and how you are using that knowledge
to help others.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Absolutely, my late husband, the fabulous Bernard, was probably the
most incredible human I've ever met. He was a renaissance man,
He was a renowned psychoanalyst, and through the course of
his work he discovered his own struggles and how unhappy
he was in his life. And the story is huge,
(03:44):
and if you listen to our podcast, we'll tell you
all about it. But he ultimately wiped away everything he
knew and started with a clean slate, listening to his
patient's dreams, which he had always done, but from now
a place that wasn't backed up by any previous premise.
He found that ultimately everybody was missing out on love.
(04:07):
Everybody's covering excuse me, carrying an amount of trauma that
has been put upon them through the course of their lives,
even in utero ancestrally, mothers, fathers, And if we can
undo that trauma, get rid of that trash, we can
find love. And the thing that helps us release that
(04:30):
trauma dreams. Our dreams hold the keys to our unconscious
and that's where all of us, everything about us lies,
the positive, the negative, the scary, the happy. Those keys
will help us discover this trauma. Once that's released, we
can find love. And again, I just want every individual
(04:53):
to have an opportunity to.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Do this, absolutely so.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Now we are in a very special week, which is
the week of Valentine's Day. Why is self love such
an important message to bring to your listeners?
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Yes, Valentine's Day, super cool holiday. We all think about love,
we all have a positive attitude about it, at least
hopefully more than we usually do. And self love is
what will propel us to being able to give love,
being able to receive love in the truest form, because
(05:32):
when we feel self love, we're not carrying this burden
of trauma that we've been carrying all our lives. We
can see our true, authentic selves, not the self that
came about in order to carry the weight of those burdens.
Self love, give love, receive love romantically with our families,
(05:56):
with our friends, with humanity.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
That indeed, what a beautiful week.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
So what happens when you're not dating anyone and there
is Valentine's Day?
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Any advices?
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Ah, well, a lot of us aren't dating anyone, but
maybe this is a great opportunity to start having a
look at yourself and do something that would lead you
to understanding your worth. Whether it is Okay, I'm going
to start a journal about my dreams today, Okay, I'm
going to go for a walk. I'm going to do
(06:31):
something that is self reflective, maybe put away all of
my devices and realize. I promise you that there is
love inside each of us, and if you can start
to think about that, you can get excited about how
your life can change if you can get to that love,
and how you can then start to receive love.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
And thank you so much for these beautiful advices. So
tell us a little bit about the guests that you
have on your podcast and who are the people usually
who are listening to your podcast, even though of course
you can never really know who is behind the speaker.
But do you have an idea?
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Yes, we do have an idea. So we have a
fabulous audience. We have an idea of all the people
that are paying attention to us, and the list is long,
but we seem to be affecting young men, old men,
women of all ages, people from all walks of life,
and we are thrilled. And I think our topic and
(07:39):
the idea of love is of the utmost importance today,
So everyone wants to tune in to figure out how
they can inject this into their own existences. Really, in
order for us to heal humanity, in order for us
to move forward, we've really got to understand our sells
(08:00):
as individuals. It starts one individual at a time, and
then you round us all up and we can do
these fabulous things. We have so many wonderful guests. We
have psychoanalysts on our podcast. We have individuals who have
just turned a negative in their lives, negative instance in
their lives into something positive and have come to find
(08:24):
how much love they can spread by that activity. Some
people have done some super unique, out of the box
things that represent a good and loving way to live.
And just to see the smiles on their faces and
to see how proud they are of the changes they've
made is just such a remarkable feeling.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
And you're doing excellent in everything you do, so I've
been told that you have a great fan by the
name of Maria Shriver.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Maria Shreiver. Oh my gosh, Yes, Maria Schreiver is a
is a fan and she has produced this fabulous newspaper
called the Sunday Paper. It comes out every week and
it's very well received. And each week she has her
recommendations for the week and her top three this week
(09:18):
the super Bowl and now Love and Amy Schumer's new movie,
How Fabulous. What fun company to be in, don't you think, Well.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
I've never heard about the super Bowl and the Amy Schumer,
but I know about you now.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Well, they're pretty fabulous too, I will give them.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
No, that's extraordinary.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
So before we start to say goodbye to each other,
and we going to encourage definitely people to tune in
to your podcast and to listen to all the great things.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
That you do.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
What is the best advice you can give when it's
about love? And how do you see the evolution of
the way people love each other these days? You know,
I call it the swipe culture. Like I don't like
you anymore, I block you, It's over.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Goodbye? You know? How do you where do you stand
in that new generation? Ah?
Speaker 3 (10:27):
We are now dealing with a whole different opportunity, opportunity
to either find love or not find love. And I
feel like this swiping phenomena kind of plays into how
troubled we often feel about ourselves. It's so easy to
(10:48):
be dismissed, and that so plays into the trauma that
so many of us have, the trauma that tells us
on a basic level, you're not to be loved, you
should succeed, nobody will like you, You're not smart enough, and
to be quickly dismissed just kind of builds that trauma
(11:09):
back up. And what we need to do is take
an opportunity to look inside ourselves and say, forget that
that's not me. That person is swiping against. They don't
even know me. I need to take a moment to
just discover who I am, because I am so worthy
and I need to spread that in the world. Maybe
(11:31):
that will help undo this swiping business where we learn
to really love and appreciate ourselves. First, we're so desperate
to find some motivations, some emotion from outside, just the
slightest little bit, and that's not the way to get there.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I love that, so would you say in order to
love someone fully, you also need to love who you are.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Ye.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Yes, in order to love someone fully, you really need
to love yourself honestly and authentically. There's a difference between
intellectual feeling and a feeling from the heart. We all
know what feelings are. We know what makes people sad,
we know what makes people happy, But do we know
that we're really feeling those feelings? Do we know what
(12:24):
love really feels like? When you have self love, you
will know what love really feels like. Sometimes I think
of this as a pipe that carries beautiful fresh water,
and over time this pipe gets gunk in it more
less and sometimes there's just a trickle of fresh water
(12:44):
that has to bypass this gunk, so it's no longer fresh.
Sometimes the pipe is completely clogged. So love that pipe
of love needs to be completely unclogged.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
