Maria Menounos on How to Get Back Up Whe...

Impact Theory
About this episode

Life is going to knock you down. You are going to have setbacks. It’s almost certainly inevitable. Still, it’s on you, and you alone to push away the temptation to simply become a victim of life. Instead, you must rise above, stand tall, and continuously adapt as life throws you curveballs.

On this episode of Women of Impact, Lisa Bilyeu is joined by author, reporter, host of the ‘Better Together’ podcast, and all-around badass Maria Menounos to discuss such matters and more as they explore how to overcome setbacks in life and why you need to find your voice, feel a sense of empowerment, and start putting yourself first.

They discuss Maria’s incredible journey from entertainment reporter to overcoming a brain tumor, why you need to feel a sense of empowerment, the power of being open to every perspective, why hardship is a blessing, how Maria has re-defined her definition of success, why you need to live life on your own terms, the power of purpose, and much more. Listen to Maria’s all-new podcast, ‘Better Together with Maria Menounos’: mariamenounos.com
