This year, popular YouTuber @GabbieHanna deleted her social media accounts, begging the question: why would a digital influencer who built her entire community and brand online delete the very platforms that made her? The answer may surprise you. Many things surprised me about this interview. Hear Gabbie's outlook on the nature of sexism in the workplace, and how she's navigated it. She also offers advice on separating personal and professional friendships, and We even discussed her ongoing battle with anxiety, a journey that she uncovers in her NYT Bestselling poetry collection DANDELION, a raw, vulnerable, meditation on mental health that everyone should read. Do you have a friend who LIVES on @YouTube? If so, tag them below, and make sure you subscribe to our channel (link in bio!)

Cancer. An awful illness too many of us have had to deal with in our families, loved ones, or even ourselves... I have, and for the lack of better words, it’s NOT fun. Well, what if I told you we are mere years away from technology that will infiltrate cancer cells and teach them to destroy themselves, curing terminal cancers from the inside out?   Dr. Dan Peer is on the way, and his m-RNA, CRISPR-led cancer technology literally edits cancer cells, and TEACHES them to destroy themselves with new genetic code. He is seeing both Glioblastomas and Metastic Ovarian Cancers destroy themselves from the inside out in his research with Rats, based out of the Laboratory of Precision NanoMedicine at Tel Aviv University.    He is one of the world's most important voices in cancer research, and it was a privilege to learn from him (plus, his research set important foundations for the m-RNA Covid Vaccines currently being administered all around the world.)   You NEED to tag ANYONE you know struggling with cancer right now, because I PROMISE this will provide them hope. And for a daily dose of hope, make sure to watch Better Together w/ Maria Menounos everyday! Join our #HealSquad click the link in my bio and SUBSCRIBE on YouTube and Apple Podcasts.

JOIN OUR PATREON: www.patreon.com/bettertogetherwithmaria What happens a New York Times Bestselling "Solutions Queen" faces a life-altering hysterectomy? Ask @MarieForleo, whose NYT Bestselling book "Everything Is Figureoutable" has been hailed by many thought leaders in the self-improvement spaces as one of the best books of the past decade. But this health crisis has pushed even Marie to her brink. Marie was incredibly vulnerable on my show today, and admitted that her recent hysterectomy has forced her to grapple with her teachings, leading to a process of faithful surrender, rather than optimistic willpower. MANY of you have had to surrender to the heartbreaking challenges this year has introduced, and I KNOW you'll resonate with what Marie offers on today show. But even 2020 offers us beautiful lessons, like the unique opportunity to experience a new level of compassion and empathy our world has never seen. We need each other now more than ever, beacuse, of course,  we're Better Together. Marie and I have A LOT in common, and I must say, this was a particularly compelling conversation for me, and I know it will be for you too. Tag someone who is going through a hard time and could use some words of encouragement, and for DAILY encouramgent, make sure you're subscribed to Better Together on YouTube, and Apple Podcasts (link in the description!)

How do you take your power back when everyone around you is telling you no? As a petite, half-Filipino model coming up in the early 2010’s, the chips were stacked against her. Both the industry AND her agents kept telling her to run away from the unique, eye-popping look that has since become her trademark, and instead, try to look as taller, skinnier, and whiter. So what did Rocky do? She took her power back. Using her Instagram as a platform, she listened to her gut and focused on a look that felt authentic, and she has since become one of Instagram's most recognizable faces in fashion and modeling. Trusting her gut and listening to her inner-knowing has been the entire basis of her success! Now she's created her own fashion line (that I'm OBSESSED WITH By The Way), and she's embraced marriage and motherhood with wisdom and maturity (get ready for some marriage advice). I LOVED chatting with my new friend @Rocky_Barnes, and I was taken aback by how much wisdom she sent our way! Make SURE to your friend who LIVES on IG 😝 - and watch and subscribe my show Better Together EVERY weekday (link in my LinkTree!).

Do you feel like you're stuck chasing an impossible dream? Dana-Maxx Pomerantz (who created @TheBeHappyProject) gets it. After a successful, but unstainable career as a NY Fashion Designer, she had to say goodbye to that career and pivot to her Plan B. Dana-Maxx is beautifully honest: it was heartbreaking and very hard. But saying goodbye to that dream led her to discover new ones, and her Plan B has led to her a happiness she didn't even know was possible. Dana-Maxx's newfound happiness is contagious: she's built a community of over 450k followers through @TheBeHappyProject, an initiative dedicated to encouragement, empowerment, and achievable ways to find more joy and contentment in our day to day. In today's convo, we discuss these daily strategies and how you can start collecting your own moments of joy and dramatically alter your life. In the comments below, share something you're GRATEFUL for, and make sure you're subscribed to Better Together With Maria for breakthroughs on our show EVERY day! #HealSquad #BetterTogether RESOURCES: Instagram: @TheBeHappyProject --- 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
