Heal Squad x Maria Menounos

Happy Regular Guy Friday people! How the obstacle is the way. How words cast spells. How suffering does less to affect the senses than anticipation of suffering. How toxic situations are not real. How #BruceLee and #StarTrek have lessons left to teach. + RGF Bonus Square Dancing in gym class ?!

She shares how she gets through life’s pits, her easy 3 minute grounding meditation, advice for those entering the business at a young age, and so much more.  Plus, she reveals what it was like working with Beyoncé and Idris Elba on the film “Obsessed” and her favorite thing about the movies and shows she’s worked on.  Be sure to tune in!  ALI’S RESOURCES: Website: alilarter.com & Instagram: @alilarter Wine Company (launching in September): called ‘Forever Gold’ Latest Movie (2021): The Last Victim can stream on Prime Video BETTER TOGETHER’S RESOURCES: Maria is continually updating this page to find the best of the best so you don’t have to do the work!

Silvia Vasquez-Lavado is the first Peruvian woman to climb Mount Everest, but what makes her really impressive are the mountains she had to scale in her real life. From surviving sexual abuse at a young age to overcoming acoholism to getting into a near-death bike accident to finding out she has a brain tumor, Silvia is the personification of resilience. She teaches us today the one thing that allowed her to heal old wounds + how we can overcome the fear that drives our lives, practice self-compassion, and re-trust ourselves again. Silvia also shares the one thing that helped her curb alcoholism and the piece of advice that comforted her after the sudden death of her partner.  If you feel like you have hit rock bottom, Silvia’s story and lessons will help you begin your journey climbing out of those valleys.  RESOURCES The Cultivating Self-Compassion course: Her book “In The Shadow of the Mountain: A Memoir of Courage” is out now

Happy Independence Day Heal Squad - the squad is at the beach and by the pool leaving us with you guessed it another ‘very special’ Lonely Guy Edition of BT. The only thing that can shorten the need for karmic experience. The one question that will guide, impact and change your life for the greatest. The real goal and true purpose behind self help and the work. The trait ALL human beings share but few acknowledge that if embraced could alleviate pain and toxicity. The thing you can do to help those you know and how doing this always comes when they need it most. The thing about holidays, the letter @thekelseymeyer wrote, the realization @poojanayyarr shared and the 2 movies you must see per @undergaro. To Lonely Guys, Gals and Others everywhere, Happy 4th of July. PS if you have a signature outro for Lonely Guy Editions by all means let us know. Till then, Aloha !

How you can get nourishment from things besides food. How to vacation with friends - and how not to.   What is seasonal eating and grounding and why is it essential to healing? What is the right way to deliver bad news? When you pierce your lips you mean this. When you turn a statement into a question, you mean that.  What to do when good friends do bad deeds. How to avoid being a double loser. Why the Fonz jumped the shark - and why you need to sometimes as well. Why buying a conversion van is key to solving crimes. @poojanayyar schools us on an old but new hip term. A fellow #Kween tells @thekelseymeyer she is cool. RGF bonus: @undergaro observations on Spencers Gifts and why everyone today is a kook. Have a #krisp 4th of July, Kweenz. Bye Betches.
