760. The One Thing Left That is Real w/ Maria Menounos & Keven Undergaro

Hay Kweenz, Regular Guys and Girls, we fooled 'em again! We made it to another edition of Regular Guy Friday!  Overindulgence leads to rage and whether it's mindless rage or focused rage, it's still rage.  When it comes to projects and jobs: 1)  less people means more productivity - and more happiness.  2) comfort zones may be comfy but will age you fast 3) adapt to new situations and learn new skills - new skills come from young, open minds.  Whether in a relationship or a divorce, eye the big picture and keep your ego out of it. All Setbacks are Set-Ups as long as.....  The 21st century is changing negotiation techniques - and why it's better to get a little less than you think you deserve. If we got everything we wanted in life, we would be married to our elementary school crushes - or in Kelsey's case, a heroin addict.  Finishing schools may be a thing of the past, but life schools are more necessary than ever.  Who else will teach Kelsey's dates that they serve tacos on Taco Tuesdays?  Whether it's Simone Biles at the Olympics, you or someone you love, it's better to bend than break, unless you're Joe Frazier in Manilla. Bye Betches. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/better-together-w-maria/support

Originally Aired: Dec 16, 2020 No matter how hard this year has been, even if you're DREADING the Holidays, you are NOT alone. These words of comfort have never been more important, and the beautifully eloquent MaryAnn DiMarco brought us a whole hour of comforting words, conversation, energy, and techniques to heal our broken souls. MaryAnn  teaches us how to tune into our inner knowing, reinstate faith in our lives, and even reach those guides and deceased loved ones to put their hands on our backs and remind us: "I've got you." Give me a (🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️) if you NEEDED this as much as I did. And PLEASE tag someone who you know could use some comfort right now. I guarantee they'll find it with MaryAnn ❤️. If you haven't already, make sure you're subscribed on YouTube where I have conversations like this almost EVERY day.    ALTWELL CBD: https://altwell.com/ MaryAnn's Instagram: @MaryAnnTheMedium  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/better-together-w-maria/support

Originally aired: February 24 2021 World acclaimed author Anne Lamott sat in with Maria, and Heal Squad friend and guest co-host, Lisa Bilyeu.  What began as promotion for her upcoming book “Dusk, Night, Dawn” turned into a one hour guide for people (especially women)  on how to navigate so many familiar dilemmas. Anne shared pearls for first time writers, the cure for feelings of hopelessness, how to silence feelings of fear and fraud,  how perfectionism is the voice of oppression, how to diffuse female shame bred into us and three steps to breaking self destructive habits.  She also discusses how much society wires us to ‘get’ (achievements, accolades, wealth etc.) as opposed to ‘give’ and the bottomless life void it fails to fill. The best part is the solutions, faith and hope she shares. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/better-together-w-maria/support

Hay Kweenz, Regular Guys and Girls, we fooled 'em again! We made it to another edition of Regular Guy Friday. Affirmation without discipline is the beginning of illusion...WHAT!? Culture is a direct result of what you'll tolerate. Summer downtime is for fun but also for planning. And as far as planning goes, you may have a business plan and maybe a life plan, too. Forget them! It's business and life MAPS that yield results and success.  Putting your companion animal down is never easy but remember their brief time here should teach us something. Making Cable TV Christmas Movies isn't easy either, especially when you're paired in a scene next to a Christmas Movie Extra Vampire. That time when Vampires go from blood suckers to comedy gold.  Most of us can never be Kweenz. Kels came close. Is #KweenAdjacent a thing?  If so, it's totally #krisp. Can Kels survive LA without her Regular Guy partner, Kev? Something tells us her old coworker, Tom from Nordstrom, isn't doing the job...what do you guys think?? Bye Betches. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/better-together-w-maria/support

Originally Aired: August 24, 2020 Covid got you down? Most Americans are lonelier and more depressed than they've EVER been. You may be one of them, but you don't have to be, we have some solutions for you. In his return to our show, Dr. Daniel Amen, whom the Washington Post called "the most popular psychiatrist in America," acknowledges a surge in his suicidal clientele, but he is not giving up hope. By offering simple, everyday strategies like Havening or, even habitually saying to ourselves, "today is going to be a great day," we can create noticeable shifts in our everyday life. Dr. Amen discusses the "dragons" that breathe fire into our past traumas, and how we can fight those dragons to find peace, even though we're facing the most challenging chapter of our current century. Dr. Amen also gives a list of amazing natural remedies for depression like Omega-3, saffron, and lavender, which studies have proven can act as natural anti-depressants. Trust me, we understand how hard it is right now, but there is hope! RESOURCES: Dr Amen's Website: www.amenclinics.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/better-together-w-maria/support

Originally Aired: August 27, 2020 You've probably heard the term #ConsciousUncoupling, but you may be surprised to learn the author who coined the term does not advocate for divorce. Instead, Katherine Woodward Thomas, bestselling author and relationship thought leader, believes that we need to heal our traumas and discover our best self before we're capable of fostering a beautiful relationship. Do you believe you're worthy of love? Do you believe you're worthy to GIVE love? Katherine will help you through these questions with practical techniques like #Visioning your future with 3 simple questions, and employing "best future self" exercises to turn your life around, faster than you could have ever imagined. Katherine is a BEAUTIFUL storyteller, and I got very emotional during our lovely chat.
