Conversations With Maria Menounos

In part 2 of our interview with psychotherapist Terri Cole, we go deep into creating boundaries within your family system (which can sometimes be the hardest to implement). Luckily, Terri shares a practice to help you stick to the boundaries you’ve established and also reveals how you may be enabling others to cross those lines without even knowing it. For those of you who don’t know where to begin, she talks about the first step to creating boundaries. And lastly, Terri reveals how we can let go of the shame and guilt that come with boundary-setting. All that and more! We hope you enjoy.  RESOURCES: IG: @terricole Book: Boundary Boss: The Essential Guide to Talk True, Be Seen and Finally Live Free  Website: www.terricole.com  QUIZ: https://boundaryboss.me/better

You may know Camila McConaughey from the runway or as the brilliant woman behind Matthew McConaughey, but on today’s episode we get to see a different side of the model and writer. In this emotional interview, Camila opens up about her brother’s struggle with diabetes and how it has deeply affected her. She also talks about her tumultuous journey into the industry - moving here at 15, not knowing the language, and working as a housekeeper and then server for years before catching her modeling break. And, for the first time ever, Camila reveals her side of Matthew’s proposal and explains why she turned him down at first. Lastly, she talks her new healthy-eating book “Just Try One Bite” and online community www.womenoftoday.com.  We hope you enjoy! RESOURCES: https://sites.prh.com/justtryonebite www.womenoftoday.com 

How a Maria and Keven late Sunday walk created the following 'Backyard Breakthroughs.' How 'walking and talking' yields far more than just talking. How surrendering old ways, trying new things and peeing on new trees could vastly improve your life. How anger and fear can both inspire AND limit you and what new means can inspire you better. How cutting back on everyday habits by as little as 10% and achieving minuscule wins now will help you achieve those huge goals, later. How and why to apply the art of behavior modeling. How being trapped in old dreams prevents us from living today's dreams. How our new antagonists are often just the old antagonists with a different name and face and how to prevent this (and them) from hurting us. How all of this will help you have the greatest week. Happy Monday Heal Squad.

Dr. Laura Berman led this month's Better Together Heal Event where she covered the pitfalls (and treatments) of codependence. Kev and Kelsey break down Dr. Laura's event. Why codependent love is transactional and where codependent self worth comes from. Why are we attracted to those who need taking care of? Why do we surrender our truth? What is the technique for separating from selfish people? What is the technique to attract higher beings? What is a full body Yes and how this process could cure most of your problems. Happy Saturday, Heal Squad!   

The medicinal practice of speaking truth that disappoints others. The truth behind saying no. The truth behind dealing with what is vs. what you wish. The truth behind what you want vs. what you really want and how we generally receive the latter. BTW, not everyone deserves your truth. @poojanayyar 's truth behind 'the power of the pen'. @tonyrobbins truth behind priming exercises to alter moods. And truth is, there's no better primer than music from Boney M, Bacara and Thelma Huston to do so as @thekelseymeyer bday week continues! Bye Betches!
