Need a little light right now? Look no further than award-winning actress & ball-of-sunshine @KylaPratt.  Kyla is known for originating the role of Penny Proud, but you may know her as Eddie Murphy's daughter in the Dr. Doolittle franchise, or for currently starring on FOX's hit comedy #CallMeKat opposite @MayamBialik.  Kyla is a beloved actress, but we learn she is so much more than that. As a musician, mom, and passionate student of history, Kyla excitedly looks towards more "serious" roles on the horizon, even considering a career in producing and directing to elevate underrepresented voices (and possibly retell the incredible story of her Black Panther Uncle who was wrongly convicted of murder.)  She also discusses motherhood, mental health, The Proud Family and even plays Proud family trivia.  She also talks Eddy Murphy and many other Hollywood legends.     Subscribe to my show!

Have you been experiencing increased anxiety and depression over the last year? I know I have and I'm sure we're not alone.  Anxiety and depression levels have been increasing for years and the pandemic has only heightened matters dramatically. Hope came today via my interview with performance expert/modern renaissance man @AubreyMarcus who shared incredible groundbreaking, natural remedies that could be the ultimate cure for so many mental and emotional ailments.  Aubrey is studied in the world's most ancient spiritual traditions including the use of psychedelics. If you're like me, you're TERRIFIED about the idea of #auyhuasca or #mdma (aka psychedelic drugs), but Aubrey makes a VERY compelling case to give it a shot. If that's not for you, he goes in depth on alternatives such as deprivation tanks, shamanic breathing and ecstatic dancing. There's PLENTY of safe, practical advice to settle your soul and turn your life around.      Would you ever try ayahuasca? It's either a definitely, maybe, or HELL no. Let us know below, PLEASE!  Any answer is fine, but your answer to ‘are you subscribed to @BetterTogetherWithMaria ?’ well that better be a HELL YES  Link in my bio for the full show w/ #AubreyMarcus!    RESOURCES: Aubrey's Website: www.aubreymarcus.com Join Our Patreon: www.patreon.com/bettertogetherwithmaria Subscribe To Better Together w/ Maria Menounos: https://www.youtube.com/c/mariamenounosSubscribe & Review Better Together w/ Maria Menounos: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/better-together-with-maria-menounos/id1320060107  FOLLOW BETTER TOGETHER WITH MARIA MENOUNOS  Instagram: https://instagram.com/bettertogetherwithmaria  TikTok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMJD6vrkY/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/432608110738691LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/better-together-with-maria-menounos    Follow us on Social Media! https://Instagram.com/bettertogetherwithmaria https://mariamenounos.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
