Hey Lonely Guys and Gals, the universe has again conspired to pre-empt RGF for another edition of Lonely Guy Friday. When the universe tests you, it's not about pass or fail but ready or not ready.  When life cycles repeat, it's less about avoidance and more about altering. Why it's okay to allow others to make mistakes and not interfere with their karma AND how often they are not mistakes they're making at all. Why when it comes to momentos, the less you have the more valuable they are. When physical items you see in your present, remind you of mistakes in your past: the long term detriment and how best to navigate.  Buying Ford Pintos, being mocked at the DMV, the decline of the Easter Bunny, Lou Reed's Perfect Day and how baseball's opening day weekend signals the start of spring and summer fun. Stay #krisp. Stay lonely. Bye Betches.

Ever wonder why people born in the 1980's and beyond seem to be more sensitive and/or prone to higher anxiety and other sensitivities? Mind Body TV's Dr. Kim D'eramo has an answer in part two of our interview with her. We discuss how the energy centers of humans born after the 1980's have actually upgraded and evolved, why these energy centers give them new powers and also explain why they think and behave differently and suffer more in low frequency environments. We also discuss parenting these individuals today and how your old energy may affect theirs!

Do you know that we are pure energy, that our thoughts and emotions affect our cells and that other people’s energies affect us, too? You will after listening to this episode featuring Mind Body TV's Dr. Kim D'eramo. You'll also learn how it's not just our moods - it’s our vibrations and how those vibrations are actually an electro-magnetic frequency that can be detected 8-10 feet away! The difference between MOTIVATION and INSPIRATION and why embracing the latter instead is crucial. What is small energy (hint: limiting beliefs) and why tapping it exhausts and sickens you. What is Source Energy (hint: infinite thinking) and why (and how) tapping that heals, clears and enriches. Why you are so much more than your age, body, nationality etc. and how limiting and unhealthy it is to believe otherwise. How labels limit us, how we have so much more power within us, especially for healing, and how to tap that power. Having an experience vs. suppressing an experience and how doing the former is the #1 quantum leap. T

Why they call them the Sunday Scaries. Why life patterns are repeating on you and the question you need to ask yourself to stop them. How nothing in life is permanent and what that realization may yield.  How to be there for friends who don't ask or want help. How to not interfere with other people's karma. How to keep from becoming selfish. Plus Kelsey's bachelorette party weekend and how friends from second grade.....are exactly the same. Bye Betches.  

Are you afraid of the unknown? Do you hate change? Do you want to live a life without fear? Do you feel like fear sometimes controls your life?   Today we have international speaker and author of “Fear is Not an Option” and “Rethink Love” Monica Berg here to help! We do a deep dive into all things fear related, why we let fear control our lives and how to overcome it.    We talk: -How to overcome fear and step into our full power -The three types of fear, and how they each affect us -Why we need to get comfortable with change  -How to adopt a growth mindset -How to survive ‘life-quakes’  -Why we need to become a change junkie & what that means    We are all going to face hurdles in our lives, but Monica’s interview will help us be a little more prepared when they present themselves next time and get us ready to release that fear!

We are back with part 2 of our conversation with best-selling author, scientist, and educator Gregg Braden. Today we cover how Charles Darwin was wrong, how the fundamental rule of nature is not survival of the fittest, the ramifications of subscribing to his theory and the true fundamental rule of nature. How our DNA and origins are definitely not from neanderthals, but how we are linked. How when we harmonize our hearts and brains, we trigger immune responses stronger than antibiotics as well as longevity enzymes and anti-aging enzymes. How AI and other modern technologies and behaviors stunt our imaginations and the severe ramifications for our health and species overall. How human biology is so much more powerful than we realize, how when our bodies seem to reach limits our bodies give us more bandwidth. Get ready!!

Five-time best-selling author, scientist, and educator Gregg Braden sat in with the Heal Squad to share a wide array of thought-provoking information. How our heart does more than pump blood. How there is a neural network in hearts that function like brain cells. How the heart tells the brain how to think. How traumas affect the heart and therefore the brain and our thoughts and decisions and how this can all be healed. How every emotion produces a different chemical equivalent. How certain toxic chemicals remain trapped in your body due to trauma, get attached to organs and lead to illness/disease. How unresolved traumas store these chemicals for years. How the world is made up of cycles and how those cycles can be studied and how they can teach us. How powerful emotional experiences, good and bad, create repeating 'fractal patterns' in our hearts and bodies, eliciting chemicals, our feelings and reactions. How these patterns repeat over and over in one's life but also how they can be interrupted, manipulate

Do you get intrusive and negative thoughts that won't go away? Are you addicted to your negative thoughts but ready to be free of them? Maybe you're stuck in a negative thought pattern that you don't want to be in anymore?    If you’re ready to rewire those negative thoughts, and thinking more positive- this episode is for you! Maria shares all the lessons she learned from world-renowned author and healer Dr. Joe Dispenza that helped her break her self-destructive negative thought loop.

His teachings have changed lives and helped people reverse incurable ailments. The team discusses why we stay stuck in negative thought loops, tips on how to break negative thought patterns and how to start changing the way we think!!   We hope you enjoy!

Maria is back, joined by Kev, for a special Heal Squad edition of 'Recliner Talks'. The mandatory phase when pursuing lofty goals: how it can't be avoided and how to best navigate. How to deal with inappropriate or toxic people, how it isn't just a matter of owning your power - at least in the way you've been advised. How the advice we receive is not often meant for everyone, at every phase of one's life. What 'floor are people on' aka what level of consciousness and how knowing so will determine many things including how to be in best harmony with them. What is toxic TV viewing and how could it be affecting your success and health? Deciphering the messages behind the bad things that happen to you and what is a 'Redirect.' On the lighter side, the power of Sonny and Cher's last performance, the lessons from South Park's Underpants Gnomes and the forgotten solo hit from Art Garfunkel. Plus why recliners are medicinal, the affordable space saving recliner for you and the underrated power of minivans!   HEAL SQU

It's other people’s definitions of success that drives us. It's other people's definitions of success that keeps us on the treadmill, too: running at high speed and not getting anywhere. Mindfulness is paying attention to the present moment without judgment. Mindfulness is the pause between stimulus and response. What is imposter syndrome, how do we (and others) impose it, why is it so detrimental and what can be done to alleviate it. Breath work is actual medicine AND different kinds of breath work can alleviate different kinds of ailments and conditions. Harvard MBA turned mindfulness and breath work coach, Zee Clarke shares all of the above. She also shares specific breathing exercises and step by step, at home, healing practices. In addition, Zee explains the art of setting boundaries and how to take your power back.  Zee's website: https://www.zeeclarke.com/ HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS  IG: @HealSquad TikTok: @HealSquadxMaria APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/heal-squad-x-maria-menounos/id1

Heal Squad alum @Elain.Ding did a surprise pop in on RGF! Adult acne.
