The Sunday Set Up Ep. 11: How To Let Go Without Losing Yourself

If you look your best, you'll feel your best, and if you feel your best, you'll DO your best.  I love that quote from @DrJasonDiamond, celebrated cosmetic surgeon to the stars known for his subtle and artistic technique that has been publicly endorsed by many celebs, like #KimKardashian.   On today's show we talk about emerging trends in beauty, the effectiveness of surgical threading, and a revolutionary new muscle-building enhancement therapy called EmScuplt that had my jaw ON THE FLOOR!!   RESOURCES: Dr. Diamond's Website: https://www.jasonbdiamond.com/ Join Our Patreon!: https://www.patreon.com/BetterTogetherWithMaria Follow @BetterTogetherWithMaria On Insta!: https://www.instagram.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

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!   RESOURCES:   Cindy's Socials: @CindyCrawford   Cindy's Book: https://www.amazon.com/Becoming-Cindy-Crawford-Katherine-Leary/dp/0847846199 --- 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

Bachelor Nation is STILL upset that the franchise passed on the opportunity for Mike Johnson to become America's Bachelor, but he's doing JUST fine. Fresh of the heals of a new book publication, Mike has never been better, and today, he discusses his journey to self-love, practical ways that we can achieve that self-love, and why he chose to get SO vulnerable in his new book. And of course, we HAD to talk Bachelor. Mike weighs in on the new season, and when I say he weighs in, I mean he WEIGHS in. It gets juicy, and you have to tune in to make sure you get your fill. If you liked today's show, make SURE you share it with your favorite Bachelor obsessed friend, and watch Better Together w/ Maria Menounos every day for more!

Who else watched #Borat this weekend?!  The new movie was BONKERS, and we talk all about that #MoonDance from the new movie featuring a never-better @SaschaBaronCohen. Are you a @Borat fan? After having seen the movie, I know I'd NEVER take advice from @Borat, but what about other people in your life? (See what I did there?) I'm all about taking advice, but you need to remember WHO you're taking advice from as you make decisions. We talk ALL about that on the show today, and it's a can't-miss episode!  Finally, it's our time-honored #GoodNewsMonday, courtesy of @GoodNews_Movement, so make sure you tune in!

Join Us On Patreaon!: www.patreon.com/bettertogetherwithmaria How many of us REALLY think about what we're putting in our body? @DrKristiFunk says it's a matter of life and death, and this week she BLEW our minds with some of the wild stats around dairy, and it's cancer-fueling properties! Today, we discuss some of #KritiFunk's most important takeaways, and discuss the SMALL incremental changes we're incorporating into our lives. It could be #vegan cheese, it could be organic wine, but YOU can get better too, i'll show you it's not as hard as we all think!! It's time for you to take control of your life and health, and stand up for yourself, and @GretchenCarlson (our Wednesday guest!) has a LOT to say on the subject. Also, we have a very important conversation about #VSCOGirl culture, and ask an important question - now that I bought a #hydroflask, am I A #VSCO GIRL!?

JOIN OUR PATREON!: www.patreon.com/bettertogetherwithmaria Five years ago, the phrase #MeToo meant something completely different than it does today, and a lot of that has to do with @GretchenCarlson, the TV personality and well-known host famously launched FOX's sexual harassment investigation against Roger Ailes, and is now considered a major catalyst for the profound workplace reform that has swept across global offices. In the interview, Gretchen and I discuss the reasons women are often afraid to step up, why Gretchen's new cause is dismantling the toxic NDA infrastructure that keeps women silent, and the main reason she chose to tell her truth, despite being the ONLY one to come forward at FOX when she did.This is a must listen episode for ANYONE.  We can all grow and learn from Gretchen. Courage is contagious as she says, so share with a friend, we ALL need to hear this.Share with someone who loved the movie @Bombshell as much as I did... and make sure you listen for Gretchen's Bombshell #2 she drops...!!

Do you consider "Dairy Queen" both a soft serve chain, and a perfect descriptor of your relationship to cheese? If so, I'm about to give you some tough love in honor of #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth. @DrKristiFunk, one of the world's leading experts in Breast cancer research and prevention, says that diary is one of the worst cancer fuels we can be putting in our body. Yep, and the CONNECTION between our dairy-obsessed culture and the motives of our very government will make your jaw drop. But it's not ALL bad news. Dr. Funk has some amazing milk alternatives, like soy, almond, and cashew, and says that ONE of those alternatives literally causes cancer cells to commit suicide! Which milk option? You'll have to tune into see.Tag your cheese obsessed friend below ,  because they HAVE to hear the truth! And make sure you subscribe on YouTube for the full show! (Link in Bio!)
