783. Navigating Anxiety, Trauma, Shame, and Habits w/ Caroline Leaf

No matter how hard this year has been, even if you're DREADING the Holidays, you are NOT alone. These words of comfort have never been more important, and the beautifully eloquent @MaryAnnTheMedium brought us a whole hour of comforting words, conversation, energy, and techniques to heal our broken souls. MaryAnn DiMarco teaches us how to tune into our inner knowing, reinstate faith in our lives, and even reach those guides and deceased loved ones to put their hands on our backs and remind us: "I've got you." Give me a (🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️) if you NEEDED this as much as I did. And PLEASE tag someone who you know could use some comfort right now. I guarantee they'll find it with MaryAnn ❤️. If you haven't already, make sure you're subscribed on YouTube where I have conversations like this almost EVERY day.  RESOUCES: www.nicoledimarco.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

Every day I'm learning that my friend @glennondoyle was right... we CAN do hard things!! These past few weeks have been challenging to say the least, but I can and I am getting through and I'm also growing and learning everyday because of it. We can do hard things! This is something our incredible guests on today's @ BetterTogetherWithMaria, @TomBilyeu & @LisaBilyeu would definitely agree with. The two of them are co-founders of @Quest Nutrition, and since exiting the company, they're combining their passion for media with their burning desire to create empowering content; enter: @ImpactTheory.Like my show, Impact Theory lives in what they call the "mindset space," or the ever-growing state of content dedicated to changing what goes on INSIDE our minds, so we can manifest the life we want OUTSIDE of our minds. In this show, Tom talks about the physics of our belief systems, and how to shift our perceptions to unlock our best lives, and the idea that pain comes from a lack of growth. Lisa talks about the "purgatory of the mundane" and how we can escape it. I KNOW you will leave with TONS of "a-ha" moments, and I'd love for you to share your favorite in the comments below. And of course, make sure you're sharing the show with your mom, your friend, your sister, your brother, your dad, your dog - let's keep growing our @bettertogetherwithmaria #HealSquad RESOURCES: Impact Theory: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnYMOamNKLGVlJgRUbamveA --- 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

Are you struggling right now? Do you have FRIENDS who are struggling right now? It's 2020. The answer is almost surely YES. Listen, it has been anything but easy watching two parents get Covid, but they're back from the hospital, and it looks like they're home from the hospital and we're doing everything we can to get them better. Prayers still needed. Today we discussed how to show for people when they're struggling. How can we be a good friend in crisis and ACTUALLY help those who are hurting when we don't know the right thing to do or say? Today the team and I have that conversation, and share helpful tips if you truly want to be there for your friends in need in WHATEVER crisis they're facing, joined by @undergaro. We offer you practical ways that we can help those who need it, and given how hard this year has been, I'm sure you know people who do! These are some of my ideas, but I want to hear from YOU! Comment below how you show up for your loved ones in crisis, because we're all one big #HealSquad, we learn from each other, and of course, we're better together. TAG someone who could use some encouragement in the comments below, and make sure you subscribe to @BetterTogetherWithMaria for more conversations like this one.

Good News, because we ALL need good news. FROM MARIA: Mom is coming HOME today! As I reflect, we can't help but feel a profound sense of gratitude. I'm grateful for all your prayers, which helped carry my mom and our family through. I'm grateful for all the doctors and nurses - it’s been a team effort. I'm grateful to have great care lined up for my mom with @24hourhomecare, they have been working very diligently to provide care for Covid+ and at risk patients at home. As soon as I can stabilize everyone, we will have episodes devoted to tips and tricks on how you can care for your loves ones in a cost efficient manner, how to handle insurance and Medicare, an expert that has helped top level athletes heal from Covid. I’ve learned a lot on this journey and gotten a lot of helped that I’ll be passing onto to you. --- 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

Panicking about #Thanksgiving prep?   Do yourself a favor and devote ONE hour to today's #BetterTogether episode with @WomansDay Content Director @MeaghanBMurphy, who has you COVERED.  First step, cut yourself some slack. There's a global pandemic - if you want to skip the turkey, skip the turkey (Meaghan is having steak). But why not try new side dishes? Maybe this year dinner is on the couch? Or maybe you could try some of these ADORABLE (and shockingly easy) crafts!  But most importantly, remember that this year is about #gratitude. It's been a heck of a year, but when you look there's ALWAYS something to be grateful for, so why not try gratitude jars (watch to find out what those are!) For more, make sure to watch the full episode, and subscribe to #BetterTogether everyday for supercharged life hacks. FINALLY, tag your friend who hates.   RESOURCES:  Meaghan's Socials: @MeaghanBMurphy   Meaghan's Book: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/624337/your-fully-charged-life-by-meaghan-b-murphy/ Join Our Patreon: www.patreon.com/bettertogetherwithmaria --- 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
