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

Hay Kweenz, we fooled 'em again!  We made it through another week for another edition of Regular Guy Friday. If you have only a hammer in your tool box, then everything becomes a nail. Traumas are opportunities. People with talent AND consciousness will always question themselves. And people often can't see you beyond what they see in themselves. Narcissists believe the world owes them, says Lisa Romano. Kweenz are spelled with a K, says Astrid Brookes. Speaking of Kweenz, Kev and Kels have a bestie who works for Ava Max – whaaaaat??!!! PYE stands for Protect Your Energy and we must protect ours from toxic people. And speaking of toxic people, Maria thinks Kev's advice to Kelsey is toxic and so is he. Oh well, surely Kel's former co-worker, Tom from Nordstrom's, can do better. #kweenz #krisp #kweenfluencer --- 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

Originally aired: Jan 12, 2021 As the number of bonafide A List movie stars grows smaller and smaller, it's more impressive than ever that Matthew McConaughey has maintained such an impressive stronghold on pop culture. Matthew McConaughey may be one of the world's last true #MovieStars. YET, he still carries a beautiful air of relaxed, Texas wisdom and Southern Americana soulfulness that make him an incomparable voice in Hollywood. On my show, we got the chance to discuss his INCREDIBLE new book #Greenlights, which is part memoir, part self-help book, and ALL genius, offering incredible lessons and takeaways from his incomparable journey. Listen to Matthew offer advice about navigating crisis, self success without self compromise, creating and maintaining your own brand of faith, and...oh yeah...our mutual OBSESSION with all things @WWE. We may be entering a SECOND Matthew reinvention, and I'm thrilled to be a platform that springs to Mr. McConaughey's next, beautiful, chapter. Alright, alright, alright, send this to your favorite #McConaughey - loving friend, and for more sides of your favorite celebs, subscribe to my channel! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/better-together-w-maria/support

You may know her from her iconic catch phrases like "I'll tell you how I'm doing, not well bi*ch" OR "Make it Nice"...Dorinda Medley was Real Housewives of New York Royalty, and after her pause from this season, she is STILL royalty, Real Housewife or not.  Today Keven sat in for Maria and chatted with Dorinda, discussing her new memoir, "Make it Nice." Dorinda discussed her Polish Italian upbringing and her ultimate role model and the person she goes to for advice still to this day, her mom. She herself gives incredible advice on how to cope with divorce in a healthy way, PLUS healthy coparenting tips. The duo talk about being gracious, balanced relationships, and even Dorinda's love of gumballs and of course, Christmas. She tells Keven that she has "nothing negative to say" about her pause from Housewives, and she has a new found freedom she has never been able to experience. We are such huge fans of Dorinda Medley, and we hope you enjoy the episode.

Hay Kweenz, Regular Guys and Girls, we fooled 'em again! We made it to another edition of Regular Guy Friday!  Jury Duty is your duty to serve that also serves YOU. Kelsey planned to put the system on trial but the juror next to her was an energy vampire.  Pretending to be on the phone, reading a book or working on a deadline humanely repels energy vampires.  Brian Mahan says to work toward purpose not goals. If Janis Joplin did the former she may still be here. New centuries generally begin in year 20 and this one redefines success - lets have empathy for those grieving the loss of the 20th century.  There is meaning and messages in so many signs that we ignore.There are many ways to run from a problem and sometimes when you do you end up with a broken foot.   Use shame as a tool not as a weapon. Dianne Gray reminded us that energy cant be created or destroyed, that love is energy and that therefore loved ones remain with us always - unless you drink 3 glasses of wine, Sanjeev taught us that karma is tied to intentions, not just actions. And though some fans have written Apple Podcasts to 'Save RGF', one fan called to cut the show and the opening song. #NotaKween. But then Kev agrees and admits he's #NotaKween, either.   Goodbye Regular Guy Friday? Hello Polka Tuesday?  Roll out the barrels, Betches!    Follow us on social!!
