378. How to Overcome Past Demons To Find Happiness and Success with Former NFL Athlete & Motivational Speaker Anthony Trucks

Do you feel like your personal and professional boundaries have gotten totally blurred while working from home during this pandemic? You're not alone. @EricaKeswin, one of the world's most sought-after management experts and business consultants, says MANY of her clients are struggling to draw clear lines between what is considered "work" and what is considered "rest." The reality is, many Americans have been forced to turn their own bedrooms into their offices.... BUT she has a SOLUTION! Rituals. I know that may sound strange, but #rituals are one of the most important practices we can explore at this time to increase productivity AND preserve mental health. For Erica, rituals provide three important tools: Psychological safety, Purpose, and Performance. In this interview, Erica provides TONS of ideas for daily practices that will fundamentally change your relationship with your job, team, and overall health. Do you have a friend who is constantly complaining about their boundary-crossing supervisor...? Or perhaps that they don't have anytime for themselves during the day?

How many of you are care taking for a loved one right now? It’s HARD. I can say that firsthand. It’s hard, and my thoughts and prayers are with all of you. One of the hardest parts of caretaking is when you have a vision for your loved one, or a story of how their journey is supposed to go, when maybe it might not be what they want. That is really hard to grasp.    Over the last year, I have really come to grips with that idea and today I talked about it on the show. You have to let them live their OWN journey. As my executive function coach Judi Johnson once told me, “it’s not my journey, it’s my mom's.” But when do you let go? How do you let go? Is "let go" even the right term?  Come weigh in, and hang with us on @ BetterTogetherWithMaria…would love to also hear your thoughts.  We had some other new today that left us all in tears… One of us is leaving to go chase (his/her) dreams…I’m not telling you who, because you’ll have to tune in to find out. But we discuss what to do when you have to let go of one dream in order to chase another and the pain that comes with that.  Today's show was heavy, but it was heartwarming. We laughed, we cried, my dog Whinnie joined us… and I hope you will too. Tune in, tag a friend to join you so you can watch and discuss, leave us your thoughts below, and make sure to SUBSCRIBE on YouTube and Apple Podcast so you get those notifications and never miss an episode… join our @BetterTogetherwithMaria #HealSquad… you won’t regret it.

Imagine your life if you shifted your thinking from: "how do I look," to "how to I FEEL?" Don't you think it could change your life?  For @JessamynStanley, bestselling author and celebrated Yoga practitioner, it HAS changed her life, her followers lives and now your life.  Jessamyn is a plus-sized Yoga teacher, who has proven Yoga isn't for skinny girls in lululemon drinking expensive juices, it's for everybody and every BODY.  MORE IMPORTANTLY, Jessamyn teaches us how Yoga is more than a physical exercise.  Yoga is the cure for anxiety, self loathing, envy and the feeling you're not enough.  It will also give you daily breakthroughs on who you are in this world and what your purpose is.  If you've ever thought, "why would I ever do Yoga," you'll leave this interview thinking, "why would I ever NOT do Yoga!?"  RESOURCES: Jessamyn's Website: www.jessamynstanley.com --- 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
