Conversations With Maria Menounos

Are you aware of your impact on the environment? Because today we learned how much our small daily habits are actually really harmful to the environment and learned some statistics that were shocking to say the least. BUT we also learned a lot of easy, simple changes we can make that will greatly reduce our carbon footprint. In our Earth Day special, Maria is joined by two incredible pioneers in the sustainability space: co-founder & co-CEO of List Perfectly Clara Albornoz and founder & CEO of Bite Lindsay McCormick.  Clara reveals the fashion industry’s detrimental impact on the planet and how you can make a difference AND make money by selling your trash (yes, you read that right).  Lindsay talks the beauty industry and how its use of plastic not only affects mother earth but also our health, sharing that microplastics were found in the human bloodstream… We are so grateful to have learned these amazing and surprisingly simple tips from two inspiring women - we hope you learned as much as us!

Somatic Experiencing Therapist, with whom Maria works with weekly, Brian Mahan comes on to talk about overcoming shame and healing trauma.

Kelsey shares Easter statics. We talk about where we should visit based on our star signs. And lastly, we should expect astrologically in the coming month.

Happy Passover and Good Friday Regular Guys and Gals. This technique to curb anxiety and induce prosperity. This person to help you do so. This diet will cleanse your body and improve your energy and is easier to adhere to than you think. This is a canary in a coal mine, This creates new pathways in our brain. But who cares. Most importantly, ow do we rebrand (and revive) the Easter Bunny and how do @thekelseymeyer and @undergaro get into @poojanayyarr 's clique?  RGF Bonus; the music of Charles Manson, the fine line between sociopath and star and how turning future serial killers into Tik Tok stars may be the answer plus the angel that was Isreal Kamakawiwo'ole. Bye Betches.

Maria's and Keven's friend and brother Sean 'Xpac' Waltman sits down to discuss his journey through addiction as well as some of the orthodox and not so orthodox means in which he succeeded. It's his journey and path but our hope is that those battling addiction and their loved ones may benefit. They also discuss the true meaning of NWO. PS when you're NWO, you're NWO 4 Life.

Did it give Maria FOMO?! Is she getting back into the ring?! Who were the coolest celebs and people she ran into?!

Happy Monday Heal Squad, it's another edition of Ask the Manager Monday where Kev, Kelsey and Pooja 'get right to business'. How to get proximity to successful people. How pot luck dinners may be your cheap ticket to success. How to deal with rejection (they say no, you say next). How organization may be the key to happiness, how organization could be just one weekend away and how zip lock bags, drawer dividers and labelling are your best friends. How to budget through journaling, the one place to put your savings that will stabilize all your money problems and how you only need a small sum each week to do so. How the term 'toxic positivity' is in fact toxic. How ATM has no signature outro and how Kelsey had no finger nails to lend her signature, talk to the hand, 'Bye B' and how Pooja made the save with a 'we out.' And that's why we managers get paid the big bucks.

And on this week's Regular Guy Friday: These two cheap and easily accessible things to do each morning to curb depression and improve mindset. These are the ways different generations deal with the fragile egos of bosses, coworkers and collaborators aka the 'fatheads' of the world. These are the games, tests and messages the universe and our angels send us constantly before we are about to ascend or even to protect us. These are the days @PoojaNayyar had food poisoning yet belongs to an awesome LA clique of friends. These are the days @TheKelseyMeyer is moving and @Undergaro is at #wrestlemania. And these are two people who have no clique. No revenge but flat diet cokes and stale pretzels to all who do you wrong. JK. May all your @wetzelspretzels be hot and fresh and may your @dietcoke be effervescent. Bye Betches.
