It's Friday Kweenz! Welcome to another Regular Guy Friday with the whole crew. Today we discuss the cause of remaining with a narcissist and why the cause will eventually kill you. The S#$% you're putting up with and can tolerate in your teens and twenties will cost you your health in your 30's and 40's. The bags of bricks you're dragging, why dragging them is unnecessary and why carrying them will compromise your health. The hangover effect after cutting ties with a narcissist. The narcissists who disguise themselves as victims. The narcissists who admit to being narcissists and how they are 1 in 10 million. The treatment for narcissism is because there is no cure. Scam you next time betches!

Happy Monday Heal Squad! On this Heal Squad All-Stars edition, we dive deep into the transformative world of journaling for self-love and personal growth. In this soul-nourishing episode, you'll discover Elizabeth Gilbert’s daily practice of writing love letters to herself from a space of unconditional love, which can lead to profound self-acceptance and resilience.

We'll also delve into a transformative journaling practice called the 'Vomit Journal,' a powerful tool to help you release pervasive thoughts, organize your mind, and cultivate positivity with Judi Johnson. Healers and Heal-liners Elizabeth Gilbert We all have these deep reservoirs of wisdom buried underneath our fear and anxiety. When we give voice to our fears and then invite wisdom into the room, it's like tapping into an inner well of profound guidance. The secret to happiness is friendliness toward yourself. Show yourself the same kindness and unconditional love you'd offer to a beloved pet or a cherished friend. Koya Webb Start your day with a morning ritual that includes meditation, journaling, and gratitude. Fill your cup first, so you can give from an overflow of strength and positivity. Take yourself on solo dates, whether it's buying flowers, preparing your favorite meal, or simply doing what brings you joy. Dating yourself is an act of self-love and self-discovery. Judi Johnson The Vomit Journal is a powerful practice to release pervasive thoughts, organize your mind, and end on an uplifting note. It integrates your emotions and thoughts, helping you find clarity and inner peace. Ask yourself, 'What would someone do in this moment that loves themselves?'

It's so easy for us to get wrapped up in the opinions of other people, especially at work, but that's why we NEED to come with armor, and a fierce understanding of our own gifts. I STILL struggle with insecurity and doubt, but the other day I created a list of things I KNOW I'm great at, where I add value, and I'm telling you, you MUST do the same.   Take the time to list everything you know you're amazing at. Maybe you're a great listener, a great organizer,  a great friend, a great leader, or even a great driver. Having a strong relationship with your own gifts will make you invincible as people try to tear you down.  Did this episode resonate with you?

What's it going to take for you to FINALLY live the life you want to live?  For me it was a brain tumor. For Shauna Niequist, it was the painful realization that her stress, exhaustion, and overwhelm had turned into nothing: complete numbness. But wasn't Shauna was living her dream..? Multiple #NYT bestselling author, frequently booked international lecturer, and celebrated thought leader?    Despite the success, she realized that her inability to be present with the people she truly loved the most - her husband and her children - was the final straw. As she says in her bestseller #PresentOverPerfect: "It's very hard to be loved and connected to the people in your home when you're always bringing them your most exhausted self and resenting the fact that the scraps you're giving them aren't cutting it.”   Shauna's decision to choose presence over perfection wasn't an easy one; as she mentions in the interview, saying yes to some people means saying no to others. But if we're guaranteed to disappoint people, shouldn't we make those people the least important people, rather than our closest loved ones? In today's beautiful convo,  Shauna and I discuss how to make those decisions as we inevitably disappoint certain people in our lives so we can honor those we love the most.

On this Lonely Guy Friday edition of Regular Guy Friday, we discuss stepping into your light, the magic behind the three words 'at this time', the power in surrender and in simply asking yourself what makes you smile. Are you tired or just not experiencing joy? When you fight to make positive things happen or even fight to overcome negative issues, the effects are often counterintuitive. Surrender doesn't mean to quit, cold climates bring spring happiness and everything good or bad is just 'at this time.' Bye Betches.

Do you know what day job @JenniferAniston had before booking #Friends?!? It will blow your mind!  It's one of many mind-blowing moments @DaneCook and I shared on today's episode of #BetterTogether, which featured some amazing behind the scenes tidbits from his recent #FastTimesLive table read with heavy hitters like @JuliaRoberts, @ShiaLeBueof, @BradPitt, and @SeanPenn. I've always loved Dane for his hustle, and you'll SEE it in this interview. But Dane Cook is far more than a funny producer - he's an incredibly wise hustler, and his views on failure, or as he puts it "the puzzle falling apart," is actually the best thing that can happen to us.  And finally, we can't forget - it's Monday, and we're covering a beautiful #goodnewsmonday story from @GoodNews_Movement. Learn about the billionaire who dreams of giving all his money to charity before he leaves this earth. Incredible.  Believe it or not, this is only PART of the show.

Maria then explores Zoe's thoughts on playing Nina Simone and the controversy surrounding Zoe's portrayal of Nina.  Finally, they wrap things up by talking about fashion and what it really means to Zoe and what she hopes to still accomplish in the entertainment industry. --- 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

THRIVE MARKET: www.thrivemarket.com/bettertogether Patreon: www.patreon.com/bettertogetherwithmaria As the election mounts, it seems like the country has never been less unified, but today's AMAZING #BetterTogether shows us there's still hope - lots of it. Bishop Omar is a widely respected community leader in Dallas, who began his career as Texas' first gang negotiator, a job where he was asked to go into prisons and negotiate tense dynamics between some of the state's most notorious gang leaders, including Bloods, Crips, and Neo-Nazis.Omar's revolutionary approach to gang negotiations centers on recognizing the humanity in all people, and figuring out our "intersections of agreement" so that we can take steps forward, together, rather than backwards. Omar's beautifully articulate storytelling and outlook really spoke to me, and had me emotional! This is an INCREDIBLE episode, and I believe that Omar is offering tools that can help heal the ever-increasing divide in our country. Watch, listen, subscribe to my channel (link in bio), and please share this episode with 3 people who need some #BishopOmar in their life.

Maybe you've heard of #NLP, maybe you haven't, but today, you'll get a life-changing crash course on what it is, how to implement it, and why it can help unlock all of your deepest goals and desires.NLP, which stands for Neuro Linguistic Programming, posits that our experience is a completely subjective one, guided by our perception of the world, our past traumas, and our everyday values. By shifting the language and subconscious programs tied to that subjective experience, we can fundamentally shift our identity, and both set and achieve our goals - and FAST. Damon teaches techniques like values elicitation, and swishing which are fast tracks to better understanding who we are and what we want.

Love this interview with Colbie Caillat where she highlights something very beautiful...endings are tough, but they signify something important: new beginnings. It has been a year of many endings for Colbie - she said goodbye to her band, and even a ten year relationship - but she has beautifully embraced those as changes to invite a whole new chapter of life. Colbie says she's never been more open to change as she is right now, and she's found a great sense of joy and freedom in welcoming the future however it shows up, rather than trying to plan everything out perfectly. This vulnerability is the center of her episode in the new Disney+ docuseries #Becoming, produced by Lebron James. For Coblie, vulnerability is everything. It's what allowed her to overcome her stage fright and embrace her true self. She even acknowledges that being vulnerable (even when you don't want to) gives permission for others to do the same! If you love "Bubbly" "Realize" or "Lucky," you HAVE to check this interview out, and make sure you share it with someone else, especially if they're going through a breakup and need some really wise advice.

Or maybe you feel like you're stuck in the WRONG dream.  Joy strategist @GraceHarry can relate. After a mega-successful career in the music industry, Grace took a step back and realized she still hadn't unlocked the truth of her own joy. Since then, she's pivoted and works as a celebrated joy strategist to powerful C-suite execs and pop culture icons like #Common.  Grace says that "happiness is ethereal, but JOY is your birthright." By implementing strategies like "finding your starting 5" and viewing all of your relationships as partnerships to accomplish the goals that we want, we can unlock the life we've always wanted to live.  Everyone NEEDS this right now, so share it!!  Share it with all your  friends & family who will benefit, and for the full interview, you HAVE to click the link in my bio!

Tired of being told you’re ‘to this’ or ‘too that’? Feeling outcast, like you’re never accepted or enough?  Well Sah D'Simone is here to tell you to FORGET THAT. The author and spiritual activist passionate about the message of authenticity and self acceptance, created a space where everyone is welcomed, loved and appreciated for who they are. But Sah had his own journey to acceptance. After being ousted from the company he helped build, Sah began his spiritual voyage, traveling to India and Nepal to study under, among others, the Dalai Lama, and he's never been the same since. Now, Sah is a beloved author and TED speaker whose #SpirituallySassy community is committed to inclusion and authenticity above all else, even in spaces that don't always welcome it with open arms. As a queer Brazilian immigrant, Sah noticed that many of the "tables" that preach inclusion didn't have a seat for him, so as he puts it, "he created his own table!” Sah says that #forgiveness is the secret sauce to presence and has three pillars - forgiving yourself, forgiving those who have unintentionally harmed you, and even forgiving those who have gone out of their way to cause you harm. Sah's undeniable charisma and beautiful heart & spirit make him a rising star in the world of empowerment spirituality - he’s amazing, such a big Sah fan.

Feel like you've lost your identity? You're not alone. Dr. Wendy Osefo can relate, and as she's navigated the waters of press for her inaugural season of The Real Housewives of Potomac, she's learned the importance of "not letting others tell HER who she is." Dr. Wendy's already impressive career includes on camera political commentary, community activism, and a well-respected tenure teaching at the collegiate level, but her deep dive into the world of Bravo housewives has tested her in ways she never expected. I admire her STRONG sense of self she's held onto even amidst criticism.  Wendy gives us a TON of great takeaway as she discusses strategies she's used to hold onto her identity.

Did you know that the CDC has officially declared #diabetes a pandemic in the USA?  NYT Bestselling authors Robby Barbaro and Cyrus Khambatta are Type 1 themselves, and after years of frustration on the diabetes roller coaster, they took matters into their own hands. To their shock, most of what they'd been told by doctors and "experts" was abjectly wrong. The high fat, low carb diet you've been told about is actually encouraging insulin resistance in your body, and insulin resistance is one of the primary enemies in the diabetes struggle.  Once they discovered that they changed EVERYTHING. Now, they encourage a high carb, low fat diet, based on plants and whole foods, and they teach their "@MasteringDiabetes" method to thousands,  and have produced astounding results in shockingly short amounts of time. I KNOW you know someone who is struggling with diabetes, and this episode could change their life.

It can be hard enough learning to love ourselves and even our closest confidants, but now, we're being asked to love our enemies!? For NYT Bestselling Author Sharon Salzberg (@SharonSalzberg), learning to love your enemies is one of the fastest ways to free ourselves from the burden of emotional unwellness, stress, anger, and depression in our own lives. In Sharon's words, hating your enemies just steals your own life force and allows them to "live rent free in your own brain." To help us get there, Sharon provides beautiful techniques to help release anger, like mindset shifts, meditation, and remembering that anger is like "drinking poison and expecting to it to kill the bad guy." Sharon's new book Real Change comes out tomorrow, and in the book, she connects the importance of spiritual harmony with activism, and in today's world, there may be no more important message to share.

You've probably heard the term #ConsciousUncoupling, but you may be surprised to learn the author who coined the term does not advocate for divorce.  Instead, @KatherineWoodwardThomas, bestselling author and relationship thought leader, believes that we need to heal our traumas and discover our best self before we're capable of fostering a beautiful relationship.   Do you believe you're worthy of love?

You've probably been told by many smart people that stress is harmful for your body, but get ready to have your mind blown. Studies show that the BELIEF that stress is harmful is far more toxic than the actual stress itself. Dr. Kelly McGonigal will fundamentally change your entire relationship to stress through her incredible teachings. She's grown a massive following (including O Magazine's FIRST Visionary Award), because of her powerful advocacy of MINDSET shifts around stress. Kelly says that stress is simply:  "what arises in your brain and in your body when something that you care about is at stake." By ingraining this belief system into our everyday life, we'll create new neural pathways that will actually create a "biology of courage" in our bodies when we face stressful moments. And don't even get me STARTED on Kelly's research on movement and exercise. She highlights new studies that show us that our muscles are our own pharmacies that produce natural anti-depressants when we exercise. Talk about inspiring!

I didn't think I could love the always hilarious @NikkiGlaser more, but after my amazing conversation with her today, I do. I was thrilled to experience a different side of Nikki, where she opened up about everything from considering a permanent move to St. Louis, to her relationship with herself and it affecting other relationships. We talked stand-up, hosting @jimmykimmellive in quarantine, dating, and I prescribed her some Better Together episodes she has to listen to. As a fellow type-A in this business, we connected on a LOT of levels. How do we strike that perfect balance between work, love, and happiness? Are we entitled to saying no when presented with huge opportunities? I applaud Nikki's openness and vulnerability here, and I'm grateful for the laughs that came along the way!

It’s all about perception, right? This pandemic continues to be trying, BUT one thing it has given many of us is time.   Celebrated Reiki master Patti Penn (@pauseinjoywithpatti) says that this time is our “great pause,” a chance to take stock of the energetic forces in our lives like work and our relationships, and really evaluate what's making us lighter, and what's making us heavier.   Like so many inthe world, Patti rightly observed that I'm operating at 50% right now, and that I need to let go of the heavy baggage that's weighing me down.   To see the full interview, click the LINK IN BIO, and SUBSCRIBE on YouTube for more AMAZING experts and healers every weekday on my channel!

You won't believe this: women undergo a 25% variation in their brain chemistry across their monthly cycle! Understanding this variation is an essential part of your Infradian Rhythm, a term coined and popularized by bestselling female health advocate @Alisa.Vitti of @FLOLiving. For decades, all of the popular biohacking programs around diet and exercise have been engineered for a Circadian rhythm, which completely eliminates women from the equation! Once Alissa took her Infradian clock into her own hands, she shed 60 pounds, cured her insomniac, and eliminated a bout of cystic acne that covered her entire body. Now, you can do the same thing by optimizing each day of cycle, and changing what you eat, how you diet, and when you sleep. Alissa offers invaluable tools and takeaway that will dramatically change the way you live your life.  For more AMAZING takeaway, hit that link in bio and make sure you're subscribed on my YouTube channel!

Feeling like you've hit your rock bottom? 3-Time NYT Bestselling author @GlennonDoyle can relate. After a severe alcohol addiction, a crippling fight w/ bulimia, and a broken marriage, she's reinvigorated herself with yet another lauded book "UNTAMED" - where she teaches women everywhere including me, how to finally listen to that inner voice and chase the life we actually want to live. There's a reason Oprah Winfrey is producing a scripted film based on her life. Glennon believes that women are tamed to shrink and disappear, rather than embrace the wild, beautiful lives that live inside each and every one us. Really, her message is simple: "Disappoint as many people as you can to avoid disappointing yourself."
