907. Conquering Your Fear of the Unknown w/ Monica Berg

Back by popular demand, Maria and Keven host a second edition of Backyard Breathroughs. This edition's breakthroughs come from Georgia, in the midst of a #Lifetime Christmas movie and a severe thunderstorm.  The couple shares insights on the art of surrender, grounding and the continuing powerful effects of #JoeDispenza meditations. The existence of 'no win' scenarios and how to navigate them. When to work hard and hang in - and when not to. The frequency of those around you, inhibit or promote your happiness, success and fulfillment. How we dim our light (and later our health) for the sake of those around us. How to navigate toxic work relationships and how to pursue our dreams. You'll hear this along with thunder, rain and frogs. Be warned - these are backyard breakthroughs after all!

Originally aired: July 19, 2019 Self-love is a way of relating to yourself that does not involve harshly judging or punishing yourself for every mistake you make. Research on self-love shows that it's associated with less anxiety and depression, more optimism, better recovery from stress and so much more. So, why is it so hard for us? Well, Maria sits down with mystic, poet and visionary leader, Deirdre Hade to talk all about self-love and where to start, as well as finding your purpose and pursuing your passion.
