333. Gabby Bernstein’s 6 Emotional Survival Hacks I Maria Menounos
Originally Aired: September 9, 2020
Looking for solutions to navigate these challenging times?
You need @GabbyBernstein’s new book, ‘You Are The Guru,’ which is all about embracing stillness so that we can create space to "surrender to creative solutions." Her book is anchored by six principles: seeing through the lens of love, surrendering to creative solutions, clearing our path through inspiration, embracing stillness, channeling compassion to create and connection, and recognizing that WE are the guru.
Gabby is always reminding me that my power lies within myself, and she can do the same thing for you. What I love about Gabby is her willingness to share her own struggles, experiences, and growth to demonstrate her work in action, and you'll leave this interview with TONS of practical takeaway to do the exact same thing!!
For the full interview, click the link in my bio, share this with someone who needs it, and make sure to watch & SUBSCRIBE to Better Together w/ Maria Menounos every weekday!

Regular Guy Friday Ep. 30: How Bottoming Out Leads To Breakthroughs & Transformation You Desire
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.
PS Happy 30TH EP!!!!!!

Originally Aired: October 20, 2020

Potluck Saturday
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!

Regular Guy Friday Ep. 29: How the Universe Tests Us During Times of Transition
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.
