1174. How to Stop the Cycle of Breakouts (& When to Leave It Alone) w/ Dr. Pimple Popper

The Bella Twins, Brie and Nikki,, have built their entire careers on openness and vulnerability, but even Maria  was taken aback by how beautifully unguarded her conversation with them was today. They discuss the incredible details of their new memoir Incomparable, even reflecting on the sexual assault Nikki so bravely included in the book. They also dove into former flings, current relationships, and the REAL story behind Nikki & Artem time during Dancing With The Stars! The girls shared why therapy AND life coaching have been vital instruments in their success, and offer some beautifully heartfelt words around the tragic passing of Shad Gaspard.

I had two incredible breakthroughs on Better Together today with world-renowned Swedish psychologist and author Katarina Blom. Happiness isn't a "state of being," it's an emotion, and just like all of our emotions, our goal should be to work towards experiencing happiness, not obligating it into our lives. On today's show, Katarina walks us through practical, science-backed exercises to increase our likelihood of achieving happiness more frequently. These strategies have NEVER been more valuable. PLUS, we share our #GoodNewsMonday story straight from @Good_News_Movement 's instagram - a traveling troubadour dedicated to bringing social distance graduation ceremonies to the hard-working students that deserve them! Enjoy the show!

*THIS EPISODE WAS ORIGINALLY BROADCAST ON MAY 14, 2020** A raw, unguarded conversation with Jamie Lynn Spears, about why she really left the business, how scary it was, and how watching her sister Britney's life influenced that decision. We get an emotional, step-by-step account of her daughter's terrifying accident and miracle recovery, and her new outlook on life thereafter. She opens up with a behind-the-scenes look at growing up as a Spears, especially as Britney's younger sister. Of course Zoey101 fans will be thrilled to hear her discuss the future of the show, but which roles did she walk away from (hint, hint, could she have been our favorite #Vampire?) Finally, she shares her excitement over her new Netflix show Sweet Magnolias. Become a member of the Better Together community through Patreon!

Maria resonated DEEPLY with today’s episode, guided by the wonderful Judi Johnson (The_Indigo_Coach), who uses feelings based coaching as the foundation of her entire practice. By targeting different areas of our brain and body (cooling our amagudla and limbic systems), we can not only achieve peace moment to moment, but we can actually create habits and practices to benefit our future selves. Maria LOVES practical takeaway, and this one is full of it!
