783. Navigating Anxiety, Trauma, Shame, and Habits w/ Caroline Leaf

**ORIGINALLY BROADCAST ON SEP 13, 2013** Most movie stars dream of starring in a film franchise. How about four? Vin Diesel is the major engine behind The Fast & Furious, Guardians Of The Galaxy, XXX, Riddick franchises, ranking him amongst one of the greatest movie stars of all time. But people don't realize that he created his own career. Vin Diesel's first three films were written, directed, and produced by him - thanks to self-empowered, highly calculated risks that eventually caught the attention of Steve Spielberg, landing him a breakout role in Saving Private Ryan.  That AGENCY is just one of the things that we discuss today!

After a week long hiatus, I had a LOT to chat about on #BetterTogether’s Monday Funday show My week in LA was A LOT, but, I made sure to pack in all of my essential appointments. A block schedule is a really valuable way to get done what you need to get done, and we do a deep dive on today's show. But first, a very important question: would you watch Borat with your parents? Am I crazy for watching that "moon dance" scene with my #Greekimmigrant folks? And of course, it's Monday, which means we had our #GoodNewsMonday show, courtesy of @GoodNewsMovement. We pay a very well deserved tribute to #AlexTrebek, one of the greatest and classiest hosts of all time.

If you look your best, you'll feel your best, and if you feel your best, you'll DO your best.  I love that quote from @DrJasonDiamond, celebrated cosmetic surgeon to the stars known for his subtle and artistic technique that has been publicly endorsed by many celebs, like #KimKardashian.   On today's show we talk about emerging trends in beauty, the effectiveness of surgical threading, and a revolutionary new muscle-building enhancement therapy called EmScuplt that had my jaw ON THE FLOOR!!   RESOURCES: Dr. Diamond's Website: https://www.jasonbdiamond.com/ Join Our Patreon!: https://www.patreon.com/BetterTogetherWithMaria Follow @BetterTogetherWithMaria On Insta!: https://www.instagram.com/bettertogetherwithmaria/  --- 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

Growing up, I idolized Cindy Crawford, and even today, I STILL view her career as a north star while I navigate my own. Cindy is the embodiment of class, grace, and sophistication, but it's her open willingness to share her insecurities that make her such an important voice in this business.   In today's interview, we discuss the heyday of 90's supermodel obsession, her reckoning with the inevitable aging we ALL face, her tips on parenting, marriage, diet, and even even business. Cindy says that knowing your authentic self is one of the best ways to find self confidence in any room, and emphasizes the importance of knowing who you are, because NOBODY can take that away from you!   RESOURCES:   Cindy's Socials: @CindyCrawford   Cindy's Book: https://www.amazon.com/Becoming-Cindy-Crawford-Katherine-Leary/dp/0847846199 --- 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

Bachelor Nation is STILL upset that the franchise passed on the opportunity for Mike Johnson to become America's Bachelor, but he's doing JUST fine. Fresh of the heals of a new book publication, Mike has never been better, and today, he discusses his journey to self-love, practical ways that we can achieve that self-love, and why he chose to get SO vulnerable in his new book. And of course, we HAD to talk Bachelor. Mike weighs in on the new season, and when I say he weighs in, I mean he WEIGHS in. It gets juicy, and you have to tune in to make sure you get your fill. If you liked today's show, make SURE you share it with your favorite Bachelor obsessed friend, and watch Better Together w/ Maria Menounos every day for more!
