Regular Guy Friday ep. 173 The Work You Avoid IS the Magic You Seek

Feeling jealous or envious? Watch this. In today’s show, Maria discusses the idea that envy can actually be used as a drive for good. Shauna Niquest has also talked about this on the show...let your jealousies, and what you are jealous of in others, help guide you to what YOU want to really do or who you want to really be. We also talk about the importance of an envy list and how you can use it to attain the qualities you wish you possessed. And lastly, Maria forces us to ask the hard question, how much work are you willing to put in to achieve your goals. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/better-together-w-maria/support

Hey Regular People, TGIRGF ! Finding out who you are is not about what you do (or had to do) to survive. When people you know need help, for your sake (and theirs), sometimes it's not about giving money or saving the day, it's about being present. Bottoming out and extreme pain is no fun but can lead to the breakthroughs and transformation you desire. Heavenly hells prevent bottoming out but heavenly hell is still hell. What does WCS stand for? Hint: it will help you make your best life decisions! Simplify and detach to reduce fear and make even better decisions. You can't build a house on sand but you can go back to live away, at college, after 40. Just ask Kev. You don't have to be up on the trends to be cool but you can attend your 10 year high school reunion with a date dressed like Batman. Just ask Kels.  Ava Max is opening for Maroon Five and even though we know her make up artist, whether she lives the Kween-life that she sings about remains unclear. Last weekend of summa so get ready for the holidays and to Slay for a Sleigh. Can someone PLEASE tell us what slaying for a sleigh is already??? Bye Betches. Stay #krisp.

Welcome to the inaugural edition of potluck Saturday, your random Saturday Better Together. On this episode, we review this week’s Patreon Heal Event and dissect some of the teachings, therapy, and healing offered to members of our Heal Squad. Maria surprises us (and herself) by popping in on the episode. Maria, Kelsey, and Keven break down some of the interactions and offer advice and guidance for anyone who doesn’t feel they’re enough or is trapped in a situation that is killing them. We hope this is a great listen. This is the first of many random potluck Saturdays for when we feel the need to share. We look forward to your comments and to let us know if we are on to something. P.S. We are still open to ideas for our Slay for a Sleigh Christmas content. Again, we don’t know what Slay for a Sleigh means, we just know, who doesn’t want to Slay for a Sleigh?! Happy Saturday! --- 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

Regular Guys and Gals, we fooled em again and made it through another week.  When you think everything is war, everything will be a war. Sometimes you need to go to war and when you do, it's where your focus must go.  When you ask the universe for answers in key moments of life transition, you'll get them. But beware! The universe's initial answers may be a means to test you: to see if you're truly ready to change. There are not bad days, just bad moments. Can we really change who we are?  Ida Kendall says speaking from your greatest place of inadequacy and where you're most vulnerable will cut through years of self-defense, survival constructs that prevent fulfillment.  Tony Robbins says the Dickens process, identifying three limiting life beliefs and the negative consequences they've produced and replacing them with three empowering beliefs will create fulfillment. Kels and Kev say summer may almost be over BUT Christmas is around the corner. ADD moment #1: can the movie Love Actually really be compared to It's a Wonderful Life.  A Regular Guy Christmas podcast could have the answers. ADD MOMENT #2: We still plan on holding our 'Slay for a Sleigh' contest. Still no idea what the contest is BUT who the F doesn't want to Sleigh for a Sleigh? Bye Betches. --- 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
