Drawing from nervous system science, masculine/feminine energy, and the Two of Cups, this episode invites you to listen to what your body already knows about love.

Show Notes
Before we can connect deeply with someone else, we have to reconnect with ourselves. In this episode, George Dus explores how self-love and self-work form the true foundation of healthy attraction.
Through the story of a woman who kept accepting emotional crumbs until she remembered her own worth, George unpacks what self-abandonment really looks like, why peace matters more than pursuit, and how to rebuild a relationship with yourself before seeking one with anyone else.
Drawing on decades of dating experience, masculine/feminine psychology, and years of Tarot practice, George uses the Empress Reversed as a spiritual mirror to reveal how nourishment, boundaries, and emotional awareness transform love from scarcity to serenity.
Takeaways
Real connection begins with the relationship you have with yourself.
Learning to hold your own worth changes every interaction.
There’s a difference between patience and self-abandonment.
The way you care for yourself teaches others how to love you.
Sometimes peace is more magnetic than pursuit.
Self-love isn’t a destination — it’s a daily return to yourself.
When you stop chasing validation, the right people stay naturally.
Awareness and compassion transform repeating patterns.
Every heartbreak can become a mirror for healing.
You are already enough — long before anyone says so.
Sound Bites
“Exhausted is what your body says when your soul’s had enough.”
“You can’t be chosen while you’re abandoning yourself.”
“Peace is more magnetic than performance.”
“You are the home you keep trying to find in others.”
