Regular Guy Friday ep. 140 Avoiding Codependent Catnip
Happy Friday, Fellow Regular Guys and Gals. Why explaining is negotiating and why that's a problem. The difference between contextualizing and explaining. Why spending more time on 'incremental wins' means more than focusing on the big wins. Why there is no sustainability or infrastructure without incremental wins. Why narcissists aren't programmed to respect incremental wins. Why over-giving decreases empathy. The need to be needed and how being needed is Codependent Catnip. How a codependent fulfills a temporary (unhealthy) need to feel superior. The codependent/narcissist system is based on one not having boundaries in giving and the other boundaries in demanding. RGF Bonus: The Buddhist tale of saying less and staying silent (to others and even yourself) will vastly improve your health, happiness and life.

749. Auto Immune Breakthrough: Stop Fighting Yourself and Your Body Will, too! w/ Maria Menounos & Keven Undergaro
Happy Tuesday Heal Squad and welcome to a Tuesday Chat Show with Maria and Keven. Maria discusses the possibility, pros and cons of having another baby, why we get autoimmune diseases and how we can curb them, the need to (and how to) reparent yourself, living in fight or flight, Maria's new list of to-do's to heal from crippling anxiety and to prevent illness, being addicted to negative patterns and the need to engage in AND celebrate new behaviors while supporting others who do the same. Baby 'Gennaro': to have a second baby or not have a second baby? Autoimmune diseases are the body fighting against itself: Maria and others need to stop fighting against themselves. The need for reparenting: during stressful experiences and discovering healthy means to self-soothe. Living in constant fight or flight: and how meditation can curb this. Maria's new coping list: no overscheduling, conceding certain tasks that are 'not your genius,' meditating daily, saying no and breathing (the potential tie between breathing and autoimmune disease). "You must listen to this every morning": the title of Dr. Joe Dispenza's YouTube video to help cope with fight or flight and autoimmune diseases. Adjusting adverse reactions during stress: establishing new patterns and new behaviors to create new personalities. Celebrating new reactions/responses/behaviors is important: celebrating these moments goes far in cementing permanent change. Unique theory on how autoimmune diseases arise: when you constantly fear outside stresses and danger, your body will eventually do the same to you. Addiction to negative feelings and patterns: is real and can only be curbed with awareness.

748. Past Traumas Affecting Present Reactions w/ Maria Menounos & Keven Undergaro
Happy Monday Heal Squad and welcome to another Monday Chat Show with Maria and Keven. Maria discusses the current plight of the world, the science behind the power of prayer, offering airport assistance to those in need, being okay with being late, takeaways from Bobbi Thomas' amazing yet unlikely career journey, returning to 30 Rock and her old job at the Today Show, being triggered by past traumas then saying things we don't mean as a result, allowing children to express emotions and what happens when we, as adults, were not allowed to and Athena's first Halloween. Heal on! We are all connected: there is nowhere to run today, so stand in the light instead. The science behind the power of collective prayer: when multiple people pray and meditate, they can literally change the state of cells...and the world. The power of micro-transactions: helping parents, families and those in need, especially at the airport. Being late: why these days it's okay to be late... Bobbi Thomas and Maria succeeding without a plan: just going through doors that open with good intentions and intentions to serve. Forget fake it till you make it: instead, be honest about your nerves and what you don't know to get the support you need. Returning to the Today Show: memories of working in corporate and gratitude for then and especially now. Saying things you don't mean: when triggered by childhood traumas and reverting to past behaviors, reactions and responses. The worst thing to do to someone victimized: deny their injustice or pain. Allowing children to have and express emotions: if not, they won't know how to do so as adults. Athena's first Halloween: older parents, overly excited (and prepared) for baby's first holidays.
