50. How We Can Be Helpful While Quarantining with Maria Menounos

Why finding magic is key. Why playing small is exhausting. Why does the claymation special 'Santa Claus is Comin to Town' have all the life lessons you'll ever need? What is friendship dating and what are friendship allergies? The surprising place(s) to find new friends and friend levels. @thekelseymeyer has a friendship date while @poojanayyarr stays loyal to her clique along with the mantra that will change your life. You win. You're right. Can I go now? Before you do...RGF bonus: @undergaro volunteers to be cat-fished.

Originally Aired: Dec 16, 2019 June is PTSD awareness month, so we are rerunning our interview with psychotherapist Tammy Valicenti.  How have we gone this long without hearing about EMDR-Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing? The team feels indebted to Tammy Valicenti, a practicing psychotherapist and trauma recovery specialist with expertise in trauma and addiction recovery, for teaching us about this therapy that is helping heal people with incredible success rates. EMDR helps the patient process and resolve stored memories using an eight-phase approach. Practitioners initially used it to treat people with traumatic memories, but they now use it to treat a variety of disorders, including: phobias, PTSD, anxiety, chronic pain and depression. EMDR addresses the past experience of trauma, the present triggers for dysfunctional emotions and beliefs, and the positive experience needed to improve future mental and emotional functioning. About Tammy: Tammy Valicenti, LICSW is the founder of The Transformation Center located in the Berkshire hills of Massachusetts. She is a practicing psychotherapist with expertise in trauma and addiction recovery. Tammy works with clients nationally and internationally and has renowned success utilizing EMDR to treat trauma, anxiety and panic as well as to enhance performance for actors and entrepreneurs. Tammy has over twenty years of experience treating various forms of trauma and addiction, and has helped foster life-changing results for survivors of rape and sexual assault. As a result of her success, Tammy has been called on by leading addiction treatment centers in the U.S. to perform EMDR therapy for their inpatient clients.

If you’ve been listening to the show lately, you know that I’ve been on this journey with Dr Joe Dispenza for 6 months, doing his meditations daily and integrating his teachings into my life. His work has been life-changing not only for me but for so many. On today’s show you will hear from Kristin Bosteels, a woman who practices Dr Joe’s work and meditations daily while on her cancer healing journey. In her own words, Kristin writes:  “In August of 2019, I accidentally found over 100 tumors in my lungs. Over the last couple of years, the cancer in my body spread to my brain, bones, liver and thyroid. Every couple of months I would receive news that things were progressing. I have had over 150 tumors radiated individually from my brain and navigated incredible amounts of pain in my body, barely being able to walk less than a year ago. December of 2021, after practicing Dr Joe’s meditations since my diagnosis, I began to improve. Nothing else changed in my treatment plan, except the amount of meditation I was committed to! Since December, everything in my body continues to improve with each body and brain scan, mri and blood work. I am so grateful for this experience in my life, because it has truly woken me up to the love and happiness that is available to us all.” This interview is extremely powerful and emotional. If it resonated with you in any way, please share with a friend.  KRISTIN’S RESOURCES: IG: @kristinbosteels BETTER TOGETHER RESOURCES: Maria is continually updating this page to find the best of the best so you don’t have to do the work!
