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

Originally Aired: September 23, 2020 Do you ever feel like you're not entitled to your success? Triple threat actress, entrepreneur, and writer Gen Padalecki (@NowAndGen) opened up about that in our lovely convo on my show @BetterTogetherwithMaria. We discuss this tendency, especially for women, to discount their success, but Gen, who recently launched a clothing line with @Khols, has a LOT of success to own. Learn how she manages three kids, her marriage, AND an upcoming, starring role on #CW #Walker across from her @CWsupernatural hubby Jared! Speaking of Jared, he pops in for some laughs, an exciting tease about the upcoming #Supernatural season, some couple advice, and even his thoughts on the new @ParisHilton doc since he's worked with her many times, including her first on-screen role in #HouseOfWax. Share this with a friend who LOVES Supernatural! RESOURCES: Gen's Blog: www.nowandgen.com Gen's Socials: @GenPadalecki --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/better-together-w-maria/support

Originally Aired: October 8, 2020 Feeling ALONE in your journey with mental health? Brittany Snow knows how you feel. She's been open about her mental health journey, but acknowledges it was someone else's story that helped carry her out of her own darkness. Having been on both sides of it, Brittany realized something powerful: sharing your mental health journey may be the ticket to rescuing someone else from their struggles. Out of that realization, #SeptemberLetters was born, thanks to help of her creative partner and co-founder of September Letters, Jaspre Guest. September Letters is an online community to share your stories about mental health, publicly or anonymously, so NONE of us feel so alone. We are all here to help one another, because we are #BetterTogether. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/better-together-w-maria/support

Hey regular guys and gals, we fooled em again and made it through another week and to another edition of Regular Guy Friday. Kelsey is reminded you can never go home and how getting off life's merry go round is uncomfortable to  you and to others on the ride as well. Sometimes when you help fulfill people's needs, they use the free time to create new needs, then expect you to fulfill them AND be angry when you don't. OUCH. You can discover what your enemy fears most by observing the means he uses to frighten you. Responding to put downs and verbal insults is hard for those not programmed to give them. The difference between rest and vacation and why the former is more important when pursuing dreams. Life and business is about awareness and anticipation which most Regular Guys and Gals don't know.. however, when Regular Guys and Gals learn and apply this, the results are extraordinary. Regular People can win - even in Hollywood. Big Sister Friday inches closer to taking the Regular Guy Friday spot. That's okay. It gives Regular Guys and Gals more time to prepare for Christmas. We are 6 months away from the holidays!  Happy Leon Day and Bye Betches.

Originally Aired: October 28, 2020 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!

HAPPY 20TH EP KWEENZ!!!! We fooled em again!! We Regular Guys and Gals made it through another week where we discovered two valuable, if only, tools when being forced to deal with narcissists and criminals. Hero or villain? The narcissist external narrative has them portrayed as either or and nothing else. You still can never go home in life BUT it can be positive reinforcement when you do. Forgiveness vs. Reconciliation. Forgiveness always creates light, but the same cannot always be said of Reconciliation. Discerning the non reconcilable and the reconcilable and the healthy means to approach the latter. The underrated power of intention in ALL actions and perhaps the most underrated tools in growth, success and fulfillment. Regular Guy Friday to be permanently pre-empted in favor of Big Sister Friday which doesn't matter because we will always be Kweenz. Bye Betches has even more meaning when you say it twice. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/better-together-w-maria/support
