203. When To Let Go Of A Loved One's Health Journey + How Supporting Someone's Dream Can Help You
How many of you are care taking for a loved one right now? It’s HARD. I can say that firsthand. It’s hard, and my thoughts and prayers are with all of you. One of the hardest parts of caretaking is when you have a vision for your loved one, or a story of how their journey is supposed to go, when maybe it might not be what they want. That is really hard to grasp.
Over the last year, I have really come to grips with that idea and today I talked about it on the show. You have to let them live their OWN journey. As my executive function coach Judi Johnson once told me, “it’s not my journey, it’s my mom's.” But when do you let go? How do you let go? Is "let go" even the right term?
Come weigh in, and hang with us on @ BetterTogetherWithMaria…would love to also hear your thoughts. We had some other new today that left us all in tears… One of us is leaving to go chase (his/her) dreams…I’m not telling you who, because you’ll have to tune in to find out. But we discuss what to do when you have to let go of one dream in order to chase another and the pain that comes with that.
Today's show was heavy, but it was heartwarming. We laughed, we cried, my dog Whinnie joined us… and I hope you will too. Tune in, tag a friend to join you so you can watch and discuss, leave us your thoughts below, and make sure to SUBSCRIBE on YouTube and Apple Podcast so you get those notifications and never miss an episode… join our @BetterTogetherwithMaria #HealSquad… you won’t regret it.

199. Why Yoga Is Your Easy Answer To Anxiety, Body Shame, and Unfulfillment w/ Jessamyn Stanley
Imagine your life if you shifted your thinking from: "how do I look," to "how to I FEEL?" Don't you think it could change your life? For @JessamynStanley, bestselling author and celebrated Yoga practitioner, it HAS changed her life, her followers lives and now your life. Jessamyn is a plus-sized Yoga teacher, who has proven Yoga isn't for skinny girls in lululemon drinking expensive juices, it's for everybody and every BODY.
MORE IMPORTANTLY, Jessamyn teaches us how Yoga is more than a physical exercise. Yoga is the cure for anxiety, self loathing, envy and the feeling you're not enough. It will also give you daily breakthroughs on who you are in this world and what your purpose is. If you've ever thought, "why would I ever do Yoga," you'll leave this interview thinking, "why would I ever NOT do Yoga!?"

Listen to Matthew offer advice about navigating crisis, self success without self compromise, creating and maintaining your own brand of faith, and...oh yeah...our mutual OBSESSION with all things @WWE.

195. Kyla Pratt On Why Transparency Around Mental Health Is Crucial + Working w/ Eddie Murphy
Need a little light right now? Look no further than award-winning actress & ball-of-sunshine @KylaPratt. Kyla is known for originating the role of Penny Proud, but you may know her as Eddie Murphy's daughter in the Dr. Doolittle franchise, or for currently starring on FOX's hit comedy #CallMeKat opposite @MayamBialik.
Kyla is a beloved actress, but we learn she is so much more than that. As a musician, mom, and passionate student of history, Kyla excitedly looks towards more "serious" roles on the horizon, even considering a career in producing and directing to elevate underrepresented voices (and possibly retell the incredible story of her Black Panther Uncle who was wrongly convicted of murder.) She also discusses motherhood, mental health, The Proud Family and even plays Proud family trivia. She also talks Eddy Murphy and many other Hollywood legends.
Subscribe to my show! (Link in bio).
