Although we know Bethenny Frankel as a former NY Housewife and business badass, her life wasn’t always so luxurious.

Stuck in a negative thought pattern? Maria shares the lessons she learned from world-renowned author and healer Dr. Joe Dispenza that helped her break this self-destructive habit.

Work to live or live to work? How does one minimize needs to maximize happiness? Why is everything you own 'on loan' and how knowing that matters? Why Monday is the new Wednesday. The answers to these questions and more on this edition of Ask the Manager Monday!

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!

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.

In part 2 of our interview with Justin and Emily Baldoni, the group dives deeper into the patriarchal system and how it affects all of us.

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.

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.
