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

Originally Aired: September 14, 2020 Do you feel like you're stuck in someone else's dream? Or maybe you feel like you're stuck in the WRONG dream. Joy strategist @GraceHarry can relate. After a mega-successful career in the music industry, Grace took a step back and realized she still hadn't unlocked the truth of her own joy. Since then, she's pivoted and works as a celebrated joy strategist to powerful C-suite execs and pop culture icons like #Common. Grace says that "happiness is ethereal, but JOY is your birthright." By implementing strategies like "finding your starting 5" and viewing all of your relationships as partnerships to accomplish the goals that we want, we can unlock the life we've always wanted to live. Everyone NEEDS this right now, so share it!! Share it with all your  friends & family who will benefit, and for the full interview, you HAVE to click the link in my bio!

Originally Aired: November 11, 2020 How does one of the world's best quarterbacks, @RussellWilson, keep his cool under pressure?Mostly because of @TrevorMoawad, his mental conditioning coach, and one of the world's most sought-after experts, particularly in high-performance athletics. Trevor is a pioneer in the "neutral thinking" thought space, and stresses the importance of avoiding negativity, monitoring our self-talk, and taking pragmatic action when faced with challenges. And how about this one: "So much of what defines a great performer is not what they’re willing to do, it’s what they’re willing NOT to do."
