Regular Guy Friday ep. 156 Know Your Boundaries, Know Yourself

Happy Memorial Day, Heal Squad! Today and everyday lets honor those who have sacrificed their lives for our country. We know that with this day off comes beach days, barbecues, backyard dinners, etc. that you are probably going to have to contribute to. If you are like us and leave things like this to the last minute, don’t fret - we got you! We are re-running our episode with world-renowned chef and judge on The Food Network’s food competition show “Chopped” Marc Murphy where he takes us step-by-step through his easy salad recipe. We hope you enjoy and let us know in the comments if you tried this recipe out!

Beliefs can create or prevent. Earthing is healing. Where do you pour your daily cup of energy? The positive energy of prayer. The negative energy of stress. Truth reduces stress. Childhood traumas then, affect our reactions today. The mind can make the body sick - it can also make it heal. Wishing illness to feel cared for. Living in joy to honor loved ones who have passed. RGF Bonus: @poojanayyar gives @undergaro and @thekelseymeyer a play by play from her recent Indian family wedding.

I think we can all agree that feelings are HARD. We get caught up in “the grind” and oftentimes, push our feelings onto the back-burner. Well today, Quilt founder and CEO Ashley Sumner along with Founder of FullCycle Climate Fund Ibrahim AlHusseini join us to talk about the importance of slowing down and how it can actually HELP progress our careers and improve our mental health. We know that this can be a difficult feat but lucky for us, Ashley and Ibrahim talk us through tapping into our emotions and how to cultivate that awareness.  We hope you enjoy!  RESOURCES: IG: @ashleyjsumner & @ialhusseini Download the Quilt App in the App Store!

Stuck in a negative thought pattern? Maria shares the lessons she learned from world-renowned author and healer Dr. Joe Dispenza that helped her break this self-destructive habit. Dr. Joe went on an incredible self-healing journey after a debilitating broken back injury, using solely the power of his brain to recover. His teachings have changed lives and helped people reverse incurable ailments. Maria attended one of his meditation events and lucky for us, we get to borrow the benefits. Today the team discusses why we stay stuck in these negative thought loops and shares practices to stop and even reverse them.  We hope you enjoy!
