Regular Guy Friday ep. 145 Partners Over Bosses

Happy Regular Guy Friday. How the quality of the 'starting five' in your life will raise OR lower your game. How mold loves AND attaches to ALL kinds of darkness. How living in warm weather can make you selfish - even dumb. How cold weather can affect relationships. How we are all competitive to some degree and why that must be acknowledged. How we should seek autonomy and partnerships but why only hard work will get you there. How knowing where YOU want to go can make all the difference. How you need the breaks to get the breakthroughs. How a cheap, fast, and easy allergy test with one strand of hair could heal many physical ailments. How being rigid with diet, exercise, and other healthy physical protocols may only yield you a few more years and what the secret to true longevity is. How self-help seminars could be a great Christmas gift.

Lonely Guy Friday ep. 141 Demons Amongst Us

Self-care practices don't always mean feel-good practices. For this reason, we bring you a Lonely Guy Friday version of Regular Guy Friday. On this special 'Halloween' edition of LGF, encountering demonic forces and exorcisms. How dark entities attach to humans, how they cause depression, suicidal thoughts, violence and/or immoral behavior. How the more advanced one's soul is, the more agents of evil want to stop that soul (kind of like what happened to George Bailey in 'It's a Wonderful Life.') How mold, fungus, viruses and parasites could be these dark entities' best weapons. How entities like young, high-octane, powerful beings with big egos. How when you push against the darkness for decades AND survive, you build muscles to use for the light. How codependents hold true to the dysfunctional mantra that you're not entitled to anything and have to give others everything whether they ask for it or not. The five-minute technique that creates new, guilt, shame, and anxiety-free, pathway

Regular Guy Friday ep. 140 Avoiding Codependent Catnip

Happy Friday, Fellow Regular Guys and Gals. Why explaining is negotiating and why that's a problem. The difference between contextualizing and explaining. Why spending more time on 'incremental wins' means more than focusing on the big wins. Why there is no sustainability or infrastructure without incremental wins. Why narcissists aren't programmed to respect incremental wins. Why over-giving decreases empathy. The need to be needed and how being needed is Codependent Catnip. How a codependent fulfills a temporary (unhealthy) need to feel superior. The codependent/narcissist system is based on one not having boundaries in giving and the other boundaries in demanding.

730. Kris Carr's Inspiring Path through Stage 4 Cancer, Grief, and Emotional Healing

Hey Heal Squad, this is a must-episode to tune into for you or anyone you know suffering from disease, particularly cancer. Over 20 years ago, Kris Carr discovered she had over 20 tumors and stage four cancer. If you know anything about cancer, you know there is no stage five. Yet, Kris is still here with us to share her healing journey, which I hope can be yours. Kris struggled with issues of perfectionism, shame, control and a host of other emotions familiar to many of us, which she, without coincidence, learned how to manage. In this second part, we focus more on grief as Kris, on top of her cancer, had to deal with a terminally ill father, financial pressures, the pandemic and more. Kris soon realized how much we all grieve in this lifetime, whether it's a cheating spouse, a miscarriage, a death or even a life transition. As I said after part one, Kris offered so much that I've already invited her back. Ruptures such as sickness, divorce, miscarriage, and death: How do we navigat

Lonely Guy Friday ep 112: How it's Not Pass or Fail but Ready or Not Ready

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. HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: @HealSquad TikTok: @HealSquadxMaria APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/heal-squad-x-maria-menounos/id13200601

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 i

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.

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.

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-sq

528, From Broke to Billionaire: How Vietnam Vet & Entrepreneur Bob Parsons Built His Empire + Used Psychedelic Therapy to Cure His PTSD

*Important Disclaimer at End of Summary* We have all heard of the American Dream, the classic rags-to-riches story. While it may seem completely out of the realm of possibility to most, Vietnam veteran and entrepreneur Bob Parsons is proof that even with all of the odds stacked against you, the impossible CAN come true. After serving in Vietnam, Bob started his own businesses, most notably Go-Daddy, selling it for a cool couple billion dollars. However even after all that success, Bob realized that a deeper wound needed to be tended to. The PTSD he suffered from since the war became too difficult to bear, launching him into a psychedelic healing journey that cured his condition and, as Bob puts it, allowed him to finally return home, 48 years later.   We hope you enjoy this powerful episode and if you or a loved one are suffering from PTSD, we hope you find this information helpful.  BOB’S RESOURCES: Instagram: @drbobparsons Website: www.bobparsons.com  ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy A
