If you’ve been listening to the show lately, you know that I’ve been on this journey with Dr Joe Dispenza for 6 months, doing his meditations daily and integrating his teachings into my life. His work has been life-changing not only for me but for so many. On today’s show you will hear from Kristin Bosteels, a woman who practices Dr Joe’s work and meditations daily while on her cancer healing journey. In her own words, Kristin writes:  “In August of 2019, I accidentally found over 100 tumors in my lungs. Over the last couple of years, the cancer in my body spread to my brain, bones, liver and thyroid. Every couple of months I would receive news that things were progressing. I have had over 150 tumors radiated individually from my brain and navigated incredible amounts of pain in my body, barely being able to walk less than a year ago. December of 2021, after practicing Dr Joe’s meditations since my diagnosis, I began to improve. Nothing else changed in my treatment plan, except the amount of meditation I was committed to! Since December, everything in my body continues to improve with each body and brain scan, mri and blood work. I am so grateful for this experience in my life, because it has truly woken me up to the love and happiness that is available to us all.” This interview is extremely powerful and emotional.

If you’ve been listening to the show lately, you know that I’ve been on this journey with Dr Joe Dispenza for 6 months, doing his meditations daily and integrating his teachings into my life. His work has been life-changing not only for me but for so many. On today’s show you will hear from Evie Jennes, a woman who combined western medicine and Dr Joe’s meditations while on her cancer journey. In her own words Evie writes:  “In 2016 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I was very fortunate in that it was contained to one breast, my lymph nodes were clean as was the rest of my body. I went through traditional treatment, switched up my diet, and exercise and got my ‘warrior’ on. I pretty much sailed through chemo, had a mastectomy, and had the best result you can get. No cancer in the tissue, no spread of the cancer I was ready to live life. Turn the page. In March 2019 I blew out my back and ended up with herniated desks. After my back got worse and I was in crazy pain a second MRI was taken. Spots were found on my pelvis. Not what you want to hear when you have had breast cancer. After a PET scan I found out it was not only in my pelvis, but my spine, shoulder, collar bone, both legs, both arms and my jaw. This was worse than bad. Stage 4 cancer. I was in shock. I never ever thought it would come back. I knew this time I had to treat more than my body but also my ‘being’. I had missed that the last time around. Within 24 hours of each other friends in Europe and the USA told me about Dr. Joe Dispenza. I watched several interviews and I was sold. I went all in. I was doing “ East meets West” this time around for my treatment. I believe that there are gaps in both. I learned how to meditate, create the future I wanted, and heal myself. There were many ups and downs. I got better. I got worse. There were joys and disappointments. There was celebration and complete devastation. But most of all I learned, I grew, I developed, and in the end I healed myself. I continue to ‘peel the onion’ of life every day. Cancer is the best, worst thing that ever happened to me. Through telling my story, and the work of the InnerScience Research Fund my big hope is that meditation becomes part of the standard of (health)care. It has been, and will continue to be the way I begin and end every day. Oh, and today, all my tumor markers are normal.” This interview is extremely powerful and emotional. If it resonated with you in any way, please share with a friend.  Be sure to tune in tomorrow’s episode where you will hear from Kristin Bosteels, another cancer patient who follows Dr Joe’s practices.   EVIE’S RESOURCES: Evie’s speech at Dr Joe’s meditation retreat that Maria attended: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_xVZHQAARo&t=883s  InnerScience Research Fund IG: @InnerScienceresearch This is a non-profit that Evie is on the board of.

Why no bad news in the world should surprise you. Why doing is better than forcing. Why surrendering and detaching from outcomes is vital? Why you can't get better in the environment that made you sick in the first place. How working too hard can block opportunities. How to 'trust the data' when bad things happen. How bad things are something you can look forward to. But who are we kidding @thekelseymeyer, @poojanayyar and @undergaro? It's really about party buses, college reunions, being popular and getting likes. RGF bonus: a life changing message from @woahvicky.

Amy Cuddy sits down with Maria to teach us how to be present, bring your best self to every situation, the difference between confidence and arrogance, and how imposter syndrome is holding a lot of us back and moving past it.  In 2012 Amy Cuddy gave a TED talk called “Your body language shapes who you are,” in which she detailed the effects of “power posing,” based on research by herself and other scientists working in the field.

The balance in giving up on finding balance. How is gut health tied to so much including happiness and success and how do I know my gut is unhealthy? What's worse, failure or regret? Work to live or live to work?

When you don't process all that's in your mind, your stomach will process it for you - and you'll feel it. When you feel it, you need to listen. When you listen, you need to surrender. When you surrender, you need to love. When you release attachments to outcomes you receive more. When you say 'I forgive you' here's the problem.

Happy Monday, Heal Squad. If the sound of the British lady’s voice isn’t enough indication, you are listening to another episode of Ask the Manager Monday with Manager Keven, Assistant Manager Kelsey and Associate Producer Pooja. After declaring that Monday is the new Thursday, the managers get right into business. How do you discover your passion in life? How do you differentiate work time from the rest of your life, especially in an industry where you are always on the clock? What is the price you may have to pay when setting boundaries? All that and more for this edition of Ask the Manager Monday! 

Producing 2 Lonely Guy editions has Kev depleted so we bring you another installment of RGF Zero! RGF Zero, the great taste of regular Guy Fridays with ZERO takeaways! In reviewing past incidents of irony, comedy and coincidence, the universe was telling you something but you probably didn't listen then, so listen now. Master 'work arounds' to master life.. Kev's carnie adventures and gossip from Netflix star studded 'The Pentaverate' premiere party. Kels offers tips on easy nails and mascara. DJ Pooj Pooj rolls out the hits. RGF Bonus: What do Jim Morrison, Adam West and Henry Winkler have in common with @poojanayyar and @thekelseymeyer? Remember, it's RGF Zero. Stay #krisp. Bye Betches.

And on this very special Better Together RGF crossover (think when Laverne and Shirley appeared on Happy Days) we bring you BT 'Lonely Guy Thursday Edition' as Keven sits in solo for Maria, Pooja and Kelsey.  Gratitude for what family and loved ones have done for us AND what they failed to do. Sometimes in relationships, you can do the work for both of you to heal. Sometimes we think we are helping others but really they are helping us, even our furry friends. Seeing the world as dark place only attracts that. The positive truth about #WaltDisney. The universe is always speaking to us. Keep listening and if you haven't seen HBO Max 'Somebody Somewhere' then you're missing out on a work of beauty, learning and inspiration.. The great Larry Miller says if you have a roof over your head, a bed to sleep in and people that love you, it's game's over. YOU WON! Stay lonely, stay #krisp.
