Hey, Heal Squad! We're back with another special episode recorded LIVE from the Heal Squad Day of Reset, and today we're sharing one of the most powerful conversations of the entire event: our Mind-Body Reset Panel. Maria brought together three of her favorite healers and trusted Heal Squad experts to explore what healing really means—and what we can do right now to help reset an overwhelmed nervous system. Psychotherapist and trauma expert Tammy Valicenti explains why healing starts by understanding the stories, patterns, and protective behaviors driving our stress and anxiety. Holistic health practitioner and Regenerative Pathway Therapy creator Gabby Piccirilli shares simple techniques to help regulate the nervous system in real time and reconnect with the body's natural healing abilities. And traditional Chinese medicine physician Anthony DiSalvo reveals the acupressure practices he uses to help people manage anxiety, tension, pain, and overwhelm.Together, they explore how to recognize when you're stuck in survival mode, why your symptoms may be trying to tell you something, and the small daily practices that can help you feel calmer, safer, and more connected to your body.The best part? Many of these tools are simple, free, and available to you anytime you need them.We hope you enjoy this special LIVE conversation from the Heal Squad Day of Reset! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Your nervous system may be running the show more than you realize. Anxiety, brain fog, jaw clenching, digestive issues, fatigue, and feeling constantly overwhelmed aren't random,...they can all be signs that your body is stuck in survival mode. Healing starts with awareness, not perfection. Whether it's recognizing the thoughts driving your stress, understanding the emotions stored in your body, or learning to listen to your symptoms differently, every healer on this panel agreed that lasting healing begins by paying attention to what your body is trying to tell you. The most powerful healing tools are often the simplest. From EMDR and nervous system regulation techniques to acupressure points and breathwork, this conversation proves that helping your body feel safe doesn't always require expensive treatments—sometimes small daily practices can create the biggest shifts.

Hey, Heal Squad! Kweens, we did it! Today, we are bringing you our first ever LIVE episode with the one and only  Jenny McCarthy. Jenny joined us at our Heal Squad Day of Reset, on the beach on Cape Cod in front of 200+ of our people, and Jenny McCarthy gave us everything. Raw, real, and wildly relatable! So, if you thought you knew Jenny's story, this conversation goes deeper. Yes, she spent years fighting to heal her son Evan from autism — and yes, it worked — but what she didn't talk about enough is what that fight cost her body. After years of trying to heal him, a divorce, and being publicly dragged by the media, her health finally hit a wall. We get into that along with what her health and healing looks like now. From leg cramps so excruciating to her mold poisoning that made a comeback… Jenny and Maria even get into their “health anxiety.” Ya know,  the obsessive lab-pulling, the doomsday scrolling, the “I have to figure this out right now or I'm going to get cancer” spiral. Jenny's in it. Maria's in it. We discuss it! Jenny even tells us what has been helping to get her body back on track and what is helping her nervous system. Jenny drops specific protocols for mold detox (including EBOO therapy, BEG spray, and Biocidin), shares why infrared sauna might be the one non-negotiable she credits for keeping her alive, and gives us a sneak peek into the plasma exchange she's about to try. Plus, there's a moment about fruit wax that stopped the entire audience cold. You'll never look at "organic" produce the same way again. This episode is funny, honest, a little chaotic, but is truly what Heal Squad is about — healing and doing this together, in the open, with nothing to hide. Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS You Can't Heal With a Wrecked Nervous System:Healing isn't a sprint,  even Jenny's son, Evan took years. Remember, the  urgency to heal faster is actually slowing you down. Jenny's been pouring 10-12 hours a day into protocols, but the panic and impatience driving it is dysregulating the very system she's trying to repair. Mold Is Sneakier Than You Think — And It Will Find You Again Mold isn't just something you smell or see. Sometimes it can come from an exposure a decade ago. Jenny cleared it, then re-exposed herself from a washing machine. One sniff, one relapse. Know the signs — and check the rubber seal on your washer.  Sweat Is Non-Negotiable: If Jenny could pick one thing to heal the world, it's the infrared sauna. Twenty-five years of sweating is what she credits for still standing. In a toxic world, your skin is your biggest detox organ — use it.

Hey Heal Squad! Guess What?!! It's Maria's Birthday! And for a special treat - she's got so many fun travel, lifestyle, beauty, and wellness hacks in this week's What Worked This Week (just in time for summer!) Maria is sharing the small but powerful shifts that are helping her stay organized, simplify her routines, and create more peace in her everyday life. First up: a travel hack she swears by that could completely change the way you fly. Maria explains why buying an extra seat—or even an entire row—might be worth considering for your nervous system, especially when traveling with kids, recovering from an injury, or simply wanting a little more space and peace. Below, we have the exact steps to a “Third Seat of Peace" strategy. We also dive into one of the easiest health upgrades you can make today: swapping out synthetic fabrics for natural ones, starting with your underwear. Think about it: the clothes closest to your body matter most. Maria shares her favorite organic brands and why she's become much more mindful about everyday chemical exposure. Plus, she's revealing the clean beauty products she's currently loving, why she's moved away from heavy makeup, and the surprising lesson she learned after challenging herself to wear less.But the biggest takeaway from this episode isn't about travel, fashion, or beauty…it's about simplifying. Maria opens up about how streamlining her routines and eliminating unnecessary decisions has given her more time for the things she values most: her family, her health, movement, nature, and being present! Step-by-Step Extra Seat Travel Hack To properly book an extra seat and prevent it from being reassigned Book the extra seat under the same reservation as your ticket.• The seat should be ticketed as an "Extra Seat" (often labeled EXST) Make sure the airline has linked the extra seat to your reservation before travel Confirm the reservation before your flight to ensure the seat remains assigned to you.

Happy Sunday! Welcome to Heal Squad's The Sunday Set Up. Life lessons to help you start the week. Today, we explore one of the most powerful truths in healing: the moment you realize you're not the only one, something inside you begins to change. We talk about why shame thrives in secrecy, silence, and isolation—and why hearing someone else tell your exact story can be more healing than any advice, breakthrough, or solution. From recovery groups to therapy circles to the incredible connections made at our Day of Reset, we explore how shared experiences help calm the nervous system, reduce emotional suffering, and remind us that being human means struggling sometimes. Anxiety, grief, self-doubt, imposter syndrome, relationship challenges, feeling behind in life—so many of the things we carry in silence are far more common than we think. We also discuss the growing loneliness epidemic, why connection is actually biological, and how community doesn't necessarily solve our problems—but often removes the isolation surrounding them. Because sometimes the most healing words you'll ever hear aren't "I can fix it." They're simply: "Me too." This week, ask yourself: Where am I believing I'm the only one? What am I carrying in silence? And who might need to hear my honesty so they can stop feeling alone too? Remember, Kweenz: healing doesn't always come from finding the answer. Sometimes it comes from discovering you're not the only one asking the question. Have a beautiful week. We'll talk shawtly!

Welcome to another Potluck Saturday! This week we get into Netflix's The Crash and the tragedy at the center of it. We dive deep into the dark side of Kween Culture. We talk about social media validation, instant gratification, the inability to hear the word "no," and what happens when a generation is raised to believe every feeling deserves immediate action and every desire deserves immediate fulfillment. We talk about whether The Crash is really about one girl—or whether it's a reflection of a much larger cultural shift. How boundaries, responsibility, purpose, and consequences may be disappearing from modern life. How work, struggle, and having something meaningful to strive for might be more important than we realize. And why having everything you want doesn't necessarily make you happy—it might actually leave you bored, restless, and looking for the next dopamine hit. Plus… SPOILER ALERT! on The Pizza Movie which may just be the greatest  movie ever made. Talk Shawtly!

Happy Lonely Guy Friday (with a little Regular Guy Friday mixed in when Kelsey joins Kev later in the  'progrim')! Today, Kev explores why so many of our core beliefs are formed before we're even teenagers—and why changing them later in life (like 35-55) can feel so difficult. He breaks down how researchers think every generation thinks they've changed a lot in the past decade but won't change much in the next one - and why it's a lie. Plus, why nearly half of what we do every day is driven by habit, the real reason personal growth stalls, and why self-awareness—not more information—is often the key to transformation. Kev shares why major life events, identity shifts, and even heartbreak can become powerful catalysts for change, and why lasting growth comes from repetition, not one big breakthrough. He also dives into how survival mode can make us forget the lessons we've already learned, why we all need periodic emotional tune-ups, and how the right community can help us become the people we're trying to be. We also tackle  multitasking, people-pleasing, and how constantly putting everyone else first may be getting in the way of your biggest dreams. Then a discussion on one of life's most pressing questions: what's the difference between the people at the Oscars, Emmys, and Tonys? Bye Betches.

Hey Heal Squad! On Monday's show, Maria mentioned this conversation and we knew we had to bring it back. This Throwback Thursday episode with Lauren Roxburgh completely changed the way we think about healing, stress, trauma, and the body. Lauren is a renowned fascia expert, movement therapist, and bestselling author who breaks down the fascinating connection between fascia, the nervous system, stored emotions, and overall health. She explains how trauma, stress, and even the emotions we think we've "moved on from" can get stored in the body, why so many of us are stuck in fight-or-flight without realizing it, and what it actually takes to release those patterns and feel lighter, calmer, and more connected to ourselves. Maria and Lauren also dive into the pelvic floor, the mind-body connection, intuition, and why healing isn't just about thinking differently, it's about feeling differently. This episode is packed with insights you'll be thinking about long after it ends!

Hey, Heal Squad! We're back with Part 2 of our chat with TOMS founder Blake Mycoskie.  After years of depression and feeling disconnected from himself, Blake realized something surprising: the life he had built no longer matched the person he really was. In this conversation, he shares the exercise that helped him identify where he was living out of alignment, why he traded a lifestyle that looked successful on paper for one that actually felt authentic, and how learning to stop performing for the world helped him reconnect with himself. Maria and Blake also get into one of the biggest questions we should all be asking ourselves: Are we living the life we truly want—or the life we think we're supposed to want? Together, they talk about why turning 40 can be the perfect time to reevaluate everything, from where you live and who you surround yourself with to how you define success, happiness, and purpose. You'll also hear some of the lighter moments from Blake's healing journey—including the story behind his new "You Are Enough" tattoo, why Matthew McConaughey challenged him to take himself out on a solo dinner date, and the simple practices that help keep him grounded today.This episode is packed with 5 daily practices to build a life that feels like yours.  They also dive into the lessons Blake is learning from guests on his new podcast No Magic Pill, the daily practices that keep him grounded, and his new movement We Are ENOUGH. Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS 5 ways to live in alignment with who you really are. Use an alignment journaling exercise, take yourself out to dinner, establish a morning routine, wear a daily reminder (bracelet, tattoo, object you can see), repeat the "I am enough" mantra meditation Loneliness at the top isn't about success—it's about disconnection. The more we perform for validation, the less connected we become to ourselves and the people around us. Healing often requires rebuilding. From where you live to who you spend time with, Blake explains why real transformation sometimes means having the courage to start over.

Hey, Heal Squad! Today, Maria sits down with Blake Mycoskie, the founder of TOMS Shoes…ya know… the company that helped change social entrepreneurship forever! Blake built TOMS into a global movement... giving 100 million pairs of shoes to children in need and helping create the "buy one, give one" model that reshaped how a generation thinks about business. From the outside, it looked like he had it all, but behind the scenes, Blake was quietly battling depression. He was disconnected from his purpose, and forced to confront a painful truth: even after achieving everything he thought would make him happy, he still didn't feel enough. At his lowest point, he came close to ending his life. In this incredibly honest conversation with Maria , Blake opens up about the hidden pressure of success and why so many high achievers tie their self-worth to what they accomplish. He shares how dark things became, the moment he realized he needed help, and the surprising practice that helped him begin to rewire decades of negative beliefs and start healing from the inside out. Maria and Blake also explore a concept that will stay with you long after this episode ends: the difference between performing and truly connecting. Together, they unpack why success can sometimes leave us feeling more disconnected than ever, how to recognize when you're chasing validation instead of fulfillment, and why so many people quietly struggle with purpose, identity, and feeling "not enough." They also touch on Blake's new movement, We Are ENOUGH, his mission to support mental health, and what he's learning through the vulnerable conversations he's having on his new podcast, No Magic Pill. This is one of the most honest conversations we've had about depression, so please listen with care. And remember,  if you or someone you love is struggling, call or text 988, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS You can never do enough to be enough. It has to come from within: Healing began when Blake stopped trying to earn his worth through accomplishments and started believing he was already worthy. Ask yourself: Am I connecting or am I performing?: One of Blake's biggest breakthroughs was recognizing that genuine connection gives him energy, while constantly performing for others leaves him depleted. Success can become a coping mechanism. Blake realized that achievement, money, impact, and recognition were never going to heal the deeper belief that he wasn't enough.

Hey Heal Squad! Maria is back with another (insert jingle!) -What Worked This Week! And honestly today is all about the little things that unexpectedly made a big difference…and some may surprise you! First up: the clean perfume that's bringing fragrance back into Maria's life. After giving it up (hello toxins!) Maria found Michelle Pfiffer's brand - Henry Rose - and it's totally working and totally clean! Then, a confession that may shock anyone who loves a fresh manicure: Maria has been nail polish-free for over a year. The reason why? Well, it's  about way more than beauty and she's convinced it's given her back time, money, and healthier nails. Also on the list: "slow pees." Yes, really. Our conversation with pelvic floor expert -Sarah Reardon completely changed the way Maria thinks about bathroom habits, and the results have been surprisingly life-changing. Bonus! Kev makes a surprise appearance to answer a very important pee-related question. Next, if you're a parent (or know someone who is! ), Maria shares the simple car organization hack she wishes someone had told her years ago—one that instantly eliminated the giant, overstuffed diaper bag struggle. Plus, party-hosting centerpiece shortcuts you'll want to steal immediately and finally, Maria opens up about her “abundance prayer” that's been transforming her mindset, helping her navigate challenges, and leading to some truly undeniable moments she says she can't ignore. The conversation even sparks a bigger question: Should Heal Squad launch a faith-based Sunday show? Let us know friends and enjoy this one!

Happy Sunday! Welcome to Heal Squad's The Sunday Set Up. Life lessons to help you start the week. This week, we're talking about the hidden exhaustion that comes from being “the strong one” — the builder, the fixer, the overgiver, the person everyone quietly depends on until one day you realize no one sees how much you've actually been carrying. We explore the emotional swing so many high-functioning people live inside: the shame of feeling like you haven't done enough… followed by the resentment of knowing how much you actually have done. The ache of wondering if your sacrifices mattered. The exhaustion of being useful to everyone while secretly feeling unseen yourself. We talk about caregivers, creatives, entrepreneurs, parents, and “builders with no boundaries” — people who learned to earn love, safety, and worth through usefulness. And what happens when over-functioning stops bringing fulfillment, acknowledgment, or peace. This week's Sunday Set Up is about understanding that resentment is often grief wearing armor. Grief for unseen effort, unmet needs, unreturned loyalty, and the version of yourself that got abandoned while trying to hold everything together. We discuss why disappearing can sometimes feel easier than asking for help, setting boundaries, slowing down, or rebuilding life differently — and why there are healthier ways forward. Remember, your worth is not measured solely by what you produce, fix, or carry for others. You are allowed to rest. You are allowed to need. You are allowed to matter too. Have a beautiful week, Heal Squad.

This week on Potluck Saturday, Kev explores the deeper meaning behind some of music's greats! Using Bob Dylan's infamous decision to go electric as a jumping-off point, he examines why growth, reinvention, healing, authenticity, and setting boundaries often come with an unexpected cost: upsetting the people around you. Why the world can love you—right up until you stop being who they emotionally needed you to be. And why constantly managing other people's expectations can become one of the most exhausting jobs you'll ever have. Kev also contrasts Dylan's story with Elvis's, looking at how one man seemed willing to be misunderstood while the other became trapped inside an image he could never escape. Along the way, he unpacks the hidden dangers of people-pleasing, over-performing, and carrying everyone else's emotional needs while slowly losing touch with your own. The conversation expands into where social media has turned many of us into our own public relations teams—branding, filtering, curating, and performing carefully crafted versions of ourselves for approval. Why so many people aren't really living anymore—they're managing perception. Why success, visibility, and admiration don't heal old wounds, but often magnify them. And why burnout happens when your soul and your role stop matching. Plus, a reflection on the fine line between selfishness and self-protection, why loved ones can sometimes resist the version of you that finally becomes free, and how it's possible to become so loved publicly that you quietly disappear privately. Most importantly, Kev explores the idea that the goal isn't perfection. In a world obsessed with flawless images and certainty, real growth comes from embracing contradiction, integrating your flaws, doing the shadow work, and allowing yourself to evolve. Because maybe the real achievement isn't becoming untouchable—it's becoming fully human.

Hey Regular Guys and Gals, today Kev explores why losing money on a sale, a possession, or even giving something away can feel like losing a piece of yourself. For builders, caretakers, providers, and anyone who's spent years holding it all together, possessions often become more than objects—they become containers for memories, sacrifice, hard work, and identity. That's why some transactions aren't really financial at all. They're emotional. They're energetic. Kev also unpacks why taking a loss can trigger so much guilt, especially for people who were taught to see every setback as a personal failure. He dives into the psychic weight objects can carry, the hidden cost of holding on too tightly, and why clinging to the past can quietly stall momentum, growth, and even your future. Along the way, he reflects on a powerful truth: sometimes losing money is actually buying peace, mobility, closure, dignity, and emotional freedom. Sometimes the sale isn't about profit—it's about release. Plus, why healing often begins with letting go of old clothes, furniture, storage units, unfinished projects, outdated identities, and long-held resentments. Why the nervous system may scream, "You failed," while something deeper whispers, "Finally... movement." And how life isn't accounting software — and sometimes the thing that looked expensive becomes liberation. How the real value may not be what you got back financially… but what the release allowed back into your life Bye Betches — and we'll talk shortly.

Hey Heal Squad! This Throwback Thursday episode with Maha Abouelenein is full of the kind of advice that makes you rethink the way you approach work, success, relationships, and even hard seasons in life. Maha, a global communications strategist who's worked with brands like Google and Netflix,  breaks down why creating value for others will always take you further than ego, titles, or chasing quick success. Maria, Kev, and Maha get into work ethic, humility, resilience, caregiving, and the mindset shifts that helped Maha build an incredible career while also caring for both of her parents through MS and ALS. They talk about how to stop letting your ego block opportunities, why the “small things” are often the big things, how to become someone people trust and remember, and what it actually means to be self-reliant without trying to do everything alone. This episode will challenge the way you think about success, purpose, leadership, and what you're truly capable of when life asks more of you than you ever expected!

Hey, Heal Squad! We're back with Brooke Tyalor, author of the new book,Healing the Success Wound, and while yesterday was  the diagnosis, today's episode is the prescription. Brooke is giving us the actual framework to heal our success wounds, the 4 levels you have to work through (emotional, mental, behavioral, and spiritual) and the 3 pillars to redefine success on YOUR terms instead of the world's scoreboard. We get into the fascinating science of why women's nervous systems run on oxytocin and men's run on dopamine, and how we're literally not wired for hustle culture the same way. Maria gets vulnerable about becoming a "human doing" instead of a "human being," and Brooke drops the line that's going to live in your head rent-free: "My value comes from my being and not my doing!” So, so good! This episode  is a roadmap. Save it, screenshot it, send it to your group chat. Enjoy HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Healing a success wound happens on 4 levels. Brooke breaks it down: emotional (feel what you've been outrunning), mental (rewire the story that worth = output), behavioral (change how you actually show up day-to-day), and spiritual (reconnect to something bigger than your résumé).  Redefine success on your terms by your values, your core states of being, and your purpose. Stop using the world's scoreboard. Brooke's 3 pillars give you a new one: what you value, how you want to feel (peace, joy, presence — not just "successful"), and what you believe you're here for.  You can still be ambitious — just from wholeness, not wounding. This isn't about quitting your dreams. As Brooke says, "our ambition has two power sources — our wounding and our wholeness." Same drive, completely different fuel. One burns you out. The other fills you up. You get to choose which one you're running on.

Hey, Heal Squad! Today's episode dives into the hidden emotional patterns so many high achievers are carrying… and why success still doesn't feel like enough.Yup, this episode is for all of us who have crushed those work goals, hit a promotion, but yet,  weirdly still feels empty on the other side of it. Brooke Taylor…a career coach, former Google leader, and author of Healing the Success Wound  unpacks why so many of us (especially high-achieving women) tie our self-worth to our output and end up burned out, anxious, and chasing a finish line that keeps moving. Brooke breaks down what a "success wound" actually is, the three roots of where it comes from (hint, hint...it's cultural, psychological, and emotional), and why your childhood gold stars might still be running your nervous system today. She also gets real about her own rock-bottom moment: sexual harassment at Google, her dad's terminal cancer diagnosis, and getting sober at 24, all in the same month. But from that. Brooke shares the first thing that truly began healing her own success wounds and why redefining success may be the key to finally feeling fulfilled. If you've ever felt like no matter how much you accomplish it's still not enough… this episode is going to hit home. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS A success wound = when you only feel valuable when you're achieving. Brooke calls it the "empty cup." Every win you pour in (the promotion, the money, the applause) drains right back out because the cup itself is cracked.  There are 3 roots of the success wound: Cultural ( we were trained to measure our worth by what we produce), Psychological (childhood taught us that love and approval are earned by performing), Emotional (we lost touch with who we are underneath what we do) Awareness is where the healing starts. The moment you can name the wound, you take your power back. You're not broken — you're conditioned, and conditioning can be rewired.  HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: https://stylecrew.macys.com/@mariamenounos EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/host GUEST RESOURCES: Follow Brooke on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brookevtaylor/ Follow Brooke on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@brooketaylorcareercoach?lang=en Website: https://brooketaylorcoaching.com/ Where To Get Healing the Success Wound: https://brooketaylorcoaching.com/successwound/ ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.

Hey Heal Squad! SO many beautiful, unexpected, emotional, magical things happened this week and we cannot wait to tell you all about them. First up… we're finally breaking down everything that happened at our very first Heal Squad Day of Reset,  and let's just say, the last-minute pivots ended up becoming the biggest miracles of the day. We get into the emotional moments from the event, including the powerful Yoga Nidra and ecstatic dance sessions that had people crying, releasing emotions, reconnecting with joy, and honestly just letting YEARS of heaviness leave their bodies. Maria also opens up about the unexpected messages she received during meditation and the huge lesson she learned about finally leaving the guilt behind and taking care of herself too.. And yes, somehow Maria's self-driving Tesla also became part of the nervous system healing journey.  Then we shift into some very real health revelations. Maria shares how removing dairy and inflammatory foods from her diet completely changed her body…reducing inflammation, bloating, puffiness…even cellulite. She gets super honest about the symptoms she thought were “normal” and what finally helped her start feeling like herself again. Oh! And somehow we also spiral into a hilarious but life-changing conversation about flossers… because apparently we've all been flossing wrong this whole time. Basically, this episode feels like one giant catch-up session … full of breakthroughs, laughs, nervous system resets..basically the reminders we all probably need this week. Enjoy!

Happy Sunday, Heal Squad! On this Sunday Setup, we explore transitions, perspective, and why change can feel so much bigger than we expect. We talk sixth grade graduations, childhood milestones, and the emotions that come with leaving behind something familiar — even when something new is waiting ahead. We talk about how sensitive people experience the world differently. How some kids feel every ending deeply. How moving into a new chapter can bring anxiety, grief, excitement, and fear all at once. And how sometimes what looks dramatic on the surface is really someone trying to process change in real time. We talk about resilience, education, and how not everyone fits inside the same system. How some people are creative, emotional, structured, or wired differently than the traditional path allows for. How responsibility and discipline still matter, but so does recognizing people for who they actually are instead of forcing everyone into the same mold. We talk about perspective and modern complaining culture. How easy it is to spiral into negativity and lose sight of what's still good. How comfort can quietly become an expectation. And why Rex Trailer could take Americans on a trip today for perspective! Talk Shawtly!

This week on Pot Luck Saturday, Kev and Kelsey get real about social media, burnout, wellness overload, and the exhausting pressure to look like you have it all together online. They talk about how influencer and celebrity life is often just a highlight reel — while the stress, anxiety, health struggles, financial pressure, and emotional burnout stay hidden behind the scenes. From Hollywood and podcasting to trolls, comparison culture, and mental health, this episode is a reminder that comparing your real life to someone else's curated feed can quietly steal your peace. The conversation also turns toward health culture, self-help overload, mold toxicity, supplements, red light therapy, nervous system burnout, chronic stress, autoimmune struggles, and why modern wellness culture can sometimes become counterproductive. Kev shares why he thinks healing may actually come from doing less: more rest, more sunlight, more laughter, more simplicity, and finally listening to what your body is trying to say. Plus: the truth about influencer money, why so many successful people are secretly exhausted, hustle culture vs. rest, healing and emotional resilience, and why joy matters way more than appearances. It's funny, honest, chaotic, thoughtful… and honestly feels like the kind of conversation everyone needs right now.

Happy Friday, Regular People — Kelsey is back, the Queens are reunited, and somehow we go from vitamin C powder and whole milk to emotional survival, nervous-system burnout, and why every adult secretly needs a shed to escape humanity. We get into how modern life has basically everyone stuck in fight-or-flight mode, and how Kelsey's healer traced her anxiety, exhaustion, and vagus nerve issues back to something surprisingly simple: she wasn't nourishing herself enough. Not emotionally. Not physically. Not in any real sustainable way. Which led to a bigger conversation about how sometimes the answer isn't another supplement, guru, or podcast episode. Sometimes it's sleep. Water. Structure. Laughter. Slowing down long enough to actually feel like a person again. Plus, why Kelsey may officially need her own “operating system update.” We also spiral into the world of Regular Guy health hacks — from oregano oil and local honey to bee pollen and whole milk making a comeback — while Kev questions whether society has completely lost the plot somewhere along the way. And underneath all the chaos is a very real conversation about why so many successful people are secretly running on fumes. Then Kev takes us down a very passionate rabbit hole about campers, hideaways, man caves, “she sheds,” little nooks, crannies, and escape hatches — which honestly turns into a surprisingly deep conversation about survival, aging, relationships, and why quiet becomes priceless the older you get. Because even when you love your people… sometimes you still need a door you can close. We also talk about the emotional impact of the Heal Squad Reset event, the power of healing communities, and why people right now are craving connection, purpose, reinvention, and second chapters more than ever. Plus: Frontier Airlines survival tactics, celebrity burnout, narcissist “lolcows,” Dog & Pony updates, AfterBuzz nostalgia and whether it could come back bigger than ever, and Kev casually floating the idea of a live Regular Guy reboot workshop for anyone needing a reset. Bye B's.

Hey Heal Squad! After such a beautiful weekend at the Heal Squad Day of Reset, we had to bring back this incredibly powerful conversation. Tammy Valicenti joined us in person at Day of Reset, and if you were moved by her there… just wait! In this throwback episode, Maria sits down with Tammy to unpack EMDR therapy, the trauma-healing modality that has helped so many people process PTSD, anxiety, panic, and deeply stored emotional pain in a totally different way than traditional talk therapy. Tammy breaks down what EMDR actually is (because yes, it can sound a little intimidating at first), how it helps the brain reprocess trauma, and why so many people see life-changing shifts in just a handful of sessions. They also get into how trauma doesn't just live in our memories, it lives in the body… showing up in relationships, anxiety, hypervigilance, fear, and patterns we may not even realize are connected. Such an eye-opening conversation, especially if you've heard people talk about EMDR but never fully understood what it is or if it could help you!

Hey Heal Squad! We are back with Part 2 of our conversation with Zachary Levi, and honestly… this one goes to some really unexpected places. Zach shares something that genuinely surprised Maria: despite having such a deep relationship with God, he doesn't actually go to church. We get into why, what his spiritual practice really looks like, and how years of home Bible studies and chosen-family community became more meaningful to him than traditional religion ever did. From there, the conversation gets even deeper. Zach opens up about marriage, why his first marriage cracked him wide open emotionally, and why he and his partner are choosing commitment and partnership every single day without needing a certificate to define it. We also talk about the massive shift happening in Hollywood right now, the headlines claiming he's been “graylisted,” and why he says the real story is much more complicated than people think. He shares why he believes the industry has become increasingly hostile to people who don't fall in line politically or creatively,  and why that's exactly why he's spent decades dreaming up Wyldwood Studios: the studio and living community he believes could completely change the future of storytelling.And somehow we also get into AI, why it actually doesn't scare him, and why he believes human connection, creativity, and community are about to become even more valuable. Plus, because it's Mental Health Awareness Month, Zach talks about Nerd HQ and the nonprofit work he's doing to help people access therapy who otherwise couldn't afford it. As he says in this episode: the stigma isn't the barrier anymore — the price tag is. Just a warning Zach gets into some heavy things, so please listen with care. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS You can't outrun your trauma: Zach said he spent decades performing — booking jobs, hitting marks, smiling on red carpets — while completely unaware that unprocessed childhood trauma was running the show underneath. Every breakdown is an invitation: Zach reframed his lowest moment not as punishment but as God's invitation to finally stop and listen. Church is the people. Healing is the practice. Faith is the next step:  Zach pushed back on the idea that church is a building or a denomination — he said church is the community you do the work alongside, the people who show up when you're falling apart.  HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: https://stylecrew.macys.com/@mariamenounos EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/host GUEST RESOURCES: Follow Zach on IG: https://www.instagram.com/zacharylevi/ Radical Love:  https://www.amazon.com/Go-Love-Yourself-Radical-Acceptance/dp/0785236759 Wyldwood Studios: wyldwood.com  Nerd HQ: nerdhq.org ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.

Hey Heal Squad! Our friend Zachary Levi is back and honestly, this may be the most grounded and open we've ever heard him. He's a brand-new dad, he's building Wyldwood Studios from the ground up in Texas, and he's going deeper into his faith, healing, and purpose than ever before. Zach takes us all the way back to being three years old and feeling, deep in his soul, that he was put here to make people laugh and help others. From there, we get into the bigger conversation so many people are quietly having right now: Why does it feel so hard to know what's true anymore? Zach breaks down what he calls the two sides of finding truth: empathy and logic and why he believes we've lost the ability to really hear each other. But the heart of this episode is what happens when Zach opens up about his 2017 mental breakdown, the season where he didn't want to live and didn't understand why. He shares how therapy finally taught him something he'd never learned before: how to love himself. We talk about unresolved trauma, how emotional pain can actually live in the body, and why he now believes every hardship can become an invitation to heal, grow, and go deeper with God.And then he says something I honestly haven't stopped thinking about since we recorded this: that we are “infinitely valuable… and entirely unimportant.” Trust us… you're going to want to hear the way he explains that one. Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS You can't outrun unhealed trauma. It lives in the body. It makes you sick on every level — physical, emotional, mental, spiritual — and it keeps showing up until you stop saying "I got it" and finally sit with what's actually there. Every hardship is an invitation. The breakdowns, the breakups, the moments that bring you to your knees — Zach believes those aren't punishment. They're God asking you to come closer. You are infinitely valuable, and entirely unimportant. You matter more than you'll ever know, AND you don't have to carry it all alone. Your only job is to take the next step.

Hey Heal Squad! Today is another edition of What Worked This Week and honestly…this episode is kind of all over the place in the best way possible. Maria is fresh out of “newborn support mode” after helping friends with a new baby over Mother's Day weekend, and the conversation turns into everything from emotional motherhood moments, to fashion finds, to nervous system resets, to the random life hacks currently making life easier. We're talking about the Zara loafers rich girls are secretly buying instead of designer shoes, the travel sneakers she wears through airports, the warm neck pillow helping calm her nervous system at night, and why she's embracing “paying for convenience” to reduce stress while traveling, parenting, and juggling life. She also gives a health update after her El Salvador trip, including stabilizing her insulin levels again and noticing how reducing stress may be helping her body overall. The bigger theme of this episode though? Making life feel lighter. Maria opens up about learning to “pay for convenience,” why perfection is overrated, and how protecting your peace sometimes means finding easier, softer ways to move through life. She also shares the gift idea she's officially replacing flowers with after too many disappointing deliveries,  including the personalized gift card that made her brother cry and why astrology sessions, healer appointments, and meaningful experiences are becoming her new favorite presents to give people. It's fun, practical, emotional (a little chaotic!) and we hope you love it!

Happy Sunday Set Up , Heal Squad! This week, we're coloring outside the lines a little as we dive into life force energy, nervous-system depletion, psychic heaviness, and why so many people today feel emotionally, physically, and spiritually drained. Inspired by a recent biofeedback session, Keven explores what ancient traditions called Qi, Prana, or vital force—and how modern stress, burnout, overgiving, guilt, survival mode, and toxic environments may quietly be crushing it.  We break down the real signs your life force energy may be low: exhaustion that sleep can't fix, emotional numbness, brain fog, hypervigilance, feeling spiritually “dim,” and constantly carrying everyone else's emotions. From nervous-system regulation and breathwork to creativity, purpose, sunlight, boundaries, and peace, we explore what actually restores vitality—and why true healing may be a lot less mystical and a lot more human than we think. We even get a little woo woo. Psychic attack. Emotional contamination. Toxic people, moldy homes. hoarding, dark quarters, demonic energy - oh my!. This Sunday Set Up explores the strange ties to those items and loss of energy. And ultimately? Why opening a window, cleaning a room, speaking truth, setting boundaries, and reclaiming peace might be some of the oldest medicine there is. Remember Heal Squad: the opposite of darkness isn't fear. It's awareness. Breath. Light. Movement. Truth. Open the windows. Protect your peace. And reclaim your life force. Have a bright energetic week!

Happy Saturday, Regular People — welcome to Potluck Saturday, where today we're diving into OnlyFans, judgment, and why everyone seriously needs to calm down. This week, we unpack how Shannon Elizabeth and Jaime Pressly joining OnlyFans says less about scandal and more about where the entertainment business is headed. We talk about how fame doesn't always equal financial security, why talent can outlive the paycheck system Hollywood was built on, and how going directly to your audience may be the future for creators everywhere. We also get into why judging other people drains your own energy, how women are still judged harder and punished faster, and why women who mirror behavior men have gotten away with for decades are suddenly labeled “difficult.” Plus, we explore how light can trigger darkness in other people, and why building your own world instead of waiting for approval may be the ultimate form of revenge. Potluck Bonus: Gary Coleman, Bhad Bhabie's bag of cash, Dog & Pony Show shoutouts, keyboard warriors, whether women can sometimes be meaner than men, and Max the dog weighing in with facts.

Hey Regular Guys and Gals, we did it again. We made it through another week! Kelsey is back, the Queens anthem returns, and the dog-and-pony era is officially underway. This week, we dive into what happens when work, love, ambition, and friendship all collide while the metaphorical space shuttle is already taking off. We unpack why replacing “but” with “and” can completely shift your mindset, how the people who love you sometimes need to understand your redline seasons, and why protecting your fuel matters more than ever. Plus: why dogs, comfort TV, projectors, and staying JFF can genuinely save your soul. We also get into Hollywood's shifting power structure, why the old gatekeepers are losing control, and how a more open playing field may actually create better art, fresher voices, and a more exciting industry. RGF Bonus: Kelsey's Dog & Pony Show, Tony season trauma, bees as spiritual messengers, Blake/Justin discourse as old-school smut relief, favorite movie picks, and why sometimes the best way to stay connected to the people you love is to build something together.

Hey, Heal Squad! If your knees have been talking, your hips feel tighter than they used to, or you've ever wondered if joint pain just comes with getting older… this Throwback Thursday is for you. Maria sits down with top orthopedic surgeon Dr. Jason Snibbe for a fascinating conversation about joint health, mobility, and what we can actually do now to protect our bodies long-term. They get into the everyday habits that may be doing more damage than we realize, the truth about cortisone shots, PRP, robotic-assisted joint replacements, and how to know when pain has crossed the line from manageable to something you actually need to address. Dr. Snibbe also shares why muscle mass matters way more than most people think, how movement can either protect or break down your joints, and why joint replacement isn't the scary “end of the road” people imagine… it can actually be a brand new beginning!

Hey Heal Squad! We're back with Part 2 of our conversation with Victoria Nelson—and today's episode goes even deeper into the emotional aftermath of the skincare treatment that permanently scarred her, and the healing journey she's still navigating every single day. Victoria opens up to Maria about being diagnosed with PTSD after the incident, and how the trauma didn't just end when the treatment was over. She shares what it's like living with the daily triggers, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and the painful reality of reliving the experience every time she looks in the mirror. She also talks about how therapy helped her finally understand that trauma is trauma, and why she had to stop minimizing her own pain just because it happened in a skincare setting. But what happened after Victoria spoke out publicly may shock you even more. Her inbox quickly filled with messages from other women, influencers, and even celebrities claiming they experienced similar burns, infections, and damaging treatments from the same esthetician. The conversation expands into the bigger issues within the beauty industry—lack of transparency, hidden complaints, overtrusting “experts,” and why so many people stay silent after something goes wrong.Most importantly, Victoria shares how she finally began healing her skin after years of aggressive treatments and false promises. This episode is about so much more than skincare. It's about trauma, trust, advocacy, boundaries, and learning how to feel safe in your body again. And ultimately, it's a reminder that becoming the CEO of your health means listening to your instincts, asking questions, and protecting yourself—even when the person in front of you is called the “expert.” HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Trauma goes far beyond physical scars: Victoria opens up about her PTSD diagnosis, the daily emotional triggers she still lives with, and how deeply skin trauma can impact confidence, identity, and mental health. You have to advocate for yourself: One of the biggest lessons from Victoria's journey is learning to trust your instincts, ask questions, and become the CEO of your own health, especially when something doesn't feel right. There's a lack of transparency in the beauty industry: After speaking out, Victoria heard from countless others with similar experiences, exposing larger concerns around provider oversight, hidden complaints, and consumer safety in the aesthetics world.

Hey, Heal Squad! Today's episode is one of the most emotional and eye-opening conversations we've had in a while! In one of her first in-depth interviews about the experience, Victoria Nelson joins Maria to share the story behind the skincare treatment that permanently changed her life. What began as a routine facial appointment turned into a traumatic experience that left Victoria with lasting facial scars &  years of treatments to reverse the damage. Victoria walks us through exactly what happened the day the treatment went wrong… from the moment something foreign hit her skin to realizing something far more serious was happening. She opens up about the deep trust she built with a well-known esthetician that is now broken, how desperation to heal acne or any skin situation can make you vulnerable, and why so many people blindly trust beauty and wellness “experts” without doing the research. Maria and Victoria also dive into the emotional side of skin trauma and why this conversation is about so much more than vanity. This episode is ultimately a powerful reminder that you have to become the CEO of your own health… ask questions, do the research, trust your instincts, and never be afraid to advocate for yourself. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Blind trust can be dangerous,  even with someone you've known for years: Victoria shares how a long-term relationship with a trusted esthetician lowered her guard, and why  understanding treatments and advocating for yourself matters more than ever. This was about far more than “vanity.”: What started as an attempt to heal acne turned into permanent scarring, emotional trauma, and PTSD, showing how deeply skin, confidence, identity, and mental health are connected. You have to become the CEO of your own health: From researching providers and understanding credentials to getting second opinions and trusting your instincts, this episode is a reminder that no matter who the expert is, you still have to protect and advocate for yourself.

Happy Sunday! Welcome to Heal Squad's The Sunday Set Up. Life lessons to help you start the week. This week, we explore why peace is not weakness, passivity, or “rolling over” — it's actually the body's truth meter. Your mind can rationalize staying too long, overgiving, proving yourself, or carrying guilt and obligation. But your nervous system usually tells the truth much faster. We talk about the difference between chaos and alignment, and why so many of us mistake anxiety, intensity, and emotional exhaustion for love, purpose, or responsibility. Keven shares why people who grew up managing tension and conflict often feel uncomfortable with real peace — because peace can feel unfamiliar when your nervous system has been trained for survival. But peace isn't deadness. It's a life where your goals, relationships, creativity, and ambitions no longer require constant self-erasure to maintain them. We dive into how peace sharpens discernment, restores self-respect, and helps you hear your own voice again. From boundaries and hard conversations to letting go of guilt and people-pleasing, this week's conversation is about learning to stop abandoning yourself just to keep external harmony. Because there's a difference between being calm because you're aligned… and being quiet because you've disappeared. Remember, peace is not what remains after you disappear. It's what becomes possible when you stop disappearing. Nothing here is permanent — except change. Let go and be present. Have a great week, Heal Squad!

Welcome to another Potluck Saturday! This week we get into the conversation surrounding the new Michael Jackson movie and the bigger issue underneath it… why modern culture seems unable to allow people to be complicated, flawed, talented, contradictory, and human all at once. We talk about the difference between understanding someone and endorsing everything they've ever done, the way social media has flattened people into heroes or villains, and why nuance seems to be disappearing from public conversation. From Michael Jackson to celebrity culture, fame, cancellation, and public perception, this episode explores what happens when a society loses the ability to hold two truths at the same time. We also get into the psychology of fame, why so many gifted people are also deeply wounded, and how our discomfort with other people's flaws often reflects our discomfort with our own. Along the way, we touch on pop culture, Hollywood, social media, self-improvement, and the pressure to appear perfect in a world that rewards outrage over honesty. Larry Bird teaches us that we generally only empathize with others that have had problems similar to ours. As always more to come....

Hey Regular Guys and Gals, we made it through another week! How funny, capable, overworked people slowly disappear inside loyalty, guilt, people-pleasing, and being “the strong one.” Why being needed is not the same as being loved. How guilt can become a cage, over-functioning can make you invisible, and people-pleasing is often just anxiety wearing a Hallmark sweater. How some people don't die from drama… they die from swallowing it. Why boundaries aren't cruel, why you don't have to earn rest or tenderness, and how keeping the peace can quietly become self-abandonment with good manners. How a smaller chapter does not mean a smaller life. And why the loneliest people are often the ones smiling, serving, joking, producing, and holding everything together while nobody notices their heart. “You can be kind without becoming furniture.” “Stop bringing your open wound to a closed door.” And why being the one who handles everything is a terrible way to audition for love.  RGF Bonus….how Florence Henderson would not let Kev disappear and lessons on recycling for millennials and Gen Z.

Hey Heal Squad! After this week's incredibly emotional conversations with Jamie Lynn Sigler about living with MS, we had to bring back our powerful episode with Montel Williams, who's been navigating his own MS journey for more than two decades. In this conversation, Montel opens up about the symptoms he experienced for nearly 20 years before finally being diagnosed, the inflammation and chronic pain that completely changed his life, and how he became the “CEO of his health” long before that phrase became popular. He shares the research rabbit holes he went down, why he shifted his diet toward anti-inflammatory foods, the smoothie routine that changed his symptoms, and the alternative approaches that helped him manage pain and reclaim his quality of life. Maria and Montel also get into the bigger conversation around inflammation, gut health, cannabis, individualized care, and why so many people feel dismissed before finally getting answers. This episode is packed with perspective, curiosity, and so many practical takeaways!

Hey, Heal Squad! Part 2 of our conversation with Jamie Lynn Sigler is one of the most emotional conversations we've ever had on the show. Jamie opens up about the terrifying moment she almost lost her son Beau after a rare medical crisis landed him in the ICU… and how that experience completely changed her relationship with faith, surrender, and healing. She also shares how living with MS has forced her to stop apologizing for what she needs, why moving to Austin felt like a nervous system reset, and the emotional patterns she believes may have contributed to her illness in the first place. Plus, Jamie talks about her friendship with Christina Applegate, how their podcast MeSsy helped her finally let go of hiding, and the simple practices that help her stay grounded today. This episode is raw, vulnerable, hopeful, and such a beautiful reminder that healing doesn't always look the way we think it will! We hope you enjoy this episode, and just a gentle note, Jamie shares some deeply emotional experiences, so take care as you listen. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Sometimes healing begins the moment you stop trying to carry everything alone: Jamie shares how surrendering during her son's medical crisis changed her relationship with faith, love, and healing forever. Constantly trying to appear “fine” can keep your body stuck in survival mode: Jamie opens up about how perfectionism, suppressed emotions, and years of pressure impacted both her emotional and physical health. Healing isn't always about pushing harder, sometimes it's about finally giving yourself permission to need support: From setting boundaries to using a cane without shame, Jamie shares how MS taught her to stop apologizing for what she needs.

Hey, Heal Squad… today's episode is raw, emotional, and incredibly relatable. Jamie Lynn Sigler sits down with Maria Menounos for a powerful heart-to-heart, opening up about the 14 years she spent hiding her multiple sclerosis diagnosis, even at the height of her career on The Sopranos. What looked like success on the outside was actually filled with fear, pressure, and a constant battle to appear “fine.” Jamie shares what it really cost her to carry that secret—from covering up physical symptoms on set… to the one person who truly knew what she was going through: James Gandolfini. But this conversation goes even deeper. Jamie opens up about the emotional patterns that existed long before her diagnosis—how body image struggles and an eating disorder shaped her need for control, how fame intensified her fear of being “found out,” and what it felt like to live as a version of herself that wasn't fully true. This isn't just a conversation about illness or MS, it's about identity, shame, and the cost of hiding and trying to be strong all the time. If you've ever felt like you had to carry something alone… this one is going to hit.We hope you enjoy this episode—and just a gentle note, Jamie shares some deeply emotional experiences, so take care as you listen. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Hiding a diagnosis may feel like protection, but it quietly disconnects you from yourself and others: Jamie shares how keeping her MS a secret for 14 years didn't just protect her career—it created isolation, anxiety, and a constant need to perform. When you're hiding something big, over time, that can pull you further away from your true identity. Shame isn't always loud, it builds slowly through the stories we tell ourselves: Long before her diagnosis, Jamie was already struggling with body image and control. Her MS didn't create the shame, it attached to it. This episode shows how easily we internalize the belief that something is “wrong” with us, and how that belief can drive our choices, relationships, and even our sense of worth. Being truly seen, even by one safe perso, —can begin to break the cycle: Jamie's moment with James Gandolfini wasn't about fixing anything, it was about finally not being alone in it. That experience highlights something powerful: aometimes, one moment of honesty, with one person who meets you with compassion, is enough to shift everything HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: https://stylecrew.macys.com/@mariamenounos EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/host GUEST RESOURCES: Follow Jamie on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamielynnsigler/ Jamie's Book is Out Now!

Hey Heal Squad! Maria is back with another What Worked This Week and honestly…this one is so good. She ended up taking a solo trip (not planned!) to El Salvador, and what came out of it was kind of wild! She's basically connecting dots on everything right now…like realizing ivermectin may have been helping accelerate her healing, and noticing this super interesting pattern where every time she went into the ocean, her blood sugar dropped (she's still testing it, so standby). But it's those little observations that are starting to add up and give her real clarity. But one of the biggest takeaways? Something she literally coined on this trip:“health anxiety.” That feeling of trying to do everything “perfect” for your health…and actually stressing yourself out more in the process. She breaks it down in such a relatable way, and you'll probably see yourself in it too. She also talks about going back to the basics...light movement, stretching, staying consistent without overdoing it...oh, and a surprise twist…she's officially into black coffee now and she got the chance to watch some TV! See what happens when we create space for ourselves, we get to reset and enjoy the little things.  And then…there's the moment. The one that's going to get you. Maria shares the sweetest, most emotional reunion with her daughter at the airport after being away: flowers, running, pure joy…all of it. It's one of those moments that just reminds you what really matters. And yes, we've got the video up on YouTube, you have to see it. Enjoy!

Happy Sunday, Heal Squad! On this Sunday Setup, we explore perspective, how quickly we can get in our own heads… We talk remembrance, how honoring loved ones can look like gathering, sharing stories, and being together. How loss doesn't go away, but becomes something you learn to live with. And how the people we've lost wouldn't want us stuck in sadness… they'd want us to be happy. We talk those moments that reset everything. How seeing what others are going through can shift your entire outlook. How it makes you stop and realize… maybe things aren't as bad as they feel. How gratitude sometimes shows up as a wake-up call. We talk stress… how what we carry, emotionally and mentally, can wear us down. How holding onto pressure and outcomes takes a toll. And how learning to release, breathe, and let things be temporary might matter more than we think. This week, ask yourself: Where am I spiraling? What am I holding onto too tightly? Because sometimes the reset isn't complicated… it's just remembering: not everything is permanent. And sometimes, you just need to shut the noise down. We'll Talk Shawtly!

Hey everyone, welcome to another Potluck Saturday, where former co-host and friend Roxy Striar sits in with Kev for a real and unfiltered conversation about egg freezing at 34, fertility timelines, the daily injections and do's and don'ts as well as what women need to know earlier than they're often told. From there, we zoom out into health optimization and preventative care, including full body scans, early detection, and the current state of healthcare and insurance in the U.S…. what's covered, what isn't, and why more people are having to take control of their own health decisions. Being that it's Pot Luck, we shift into pop culture with further discussion regarding the Devil Wears Prada 2, the Anne Hathaway career arc, Chappell Roan's reactions to fans, toxic fan bases and how fame is changing… from evolving audience loyalty to artists setting boundaries and redefining their relationship with fans.This PLS is a mix of women's health, self-improvement, career strategy, and culture making it a delectable Pot Luck feast!  Join the Heal Squad Day of Reset: https://www.healsquad.com/reset HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/host AG1: drinkag1.com/healsquad  ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.

Hey Regular Guys and Gals, we did it again. We made it through another week! How a fake morning show intro turned into a full-blown identity crisis in under 30 seconds. How a simple family movie circle somehow ignited a generational debate nobody was ready for. How The Devil Wears Prada led to the most uncomfortable question of the week—what if the “devil” isn't the villain at all. How workplaces then vs. now might not even be playing the same game (and why that matters more than we think). How “toxic” and “tough” may be getting dangerously confused. How stirring the pot might be the only way to get to the truth. How two completely opposite things can both be true… and why that messes with all of us. How “just try” might quietly be the difference between stuck and moving forward. How effort—not perfection—might be the thing we're all avoiding. How there may be no such thing as an “easy way”… no matter how much we want one. How leadership today might require more explaining than commanding (whether we like it or not). How younger generations may be missing the reps that teach you how to actually move and groove. How maybe we've all been through something… and that doesn't automatically make us right. And how it's not about who's right… it's about who's willing to learn, adjust, and keep showing up anyway. Talk Shawtly!

Hey Heal Squad! It's Throwback Thursday and Kev is back hosting this one, and honestly, this conversation feels more important than ever. In his conversation with Dr. Joel Gator, they get into what's really going on with our kids right now, from rising chronic illness and mental health struggles to what we can actually do to start shifting things in a better direction. They talk about how health isn't just about one thing (not just food, not just exercise), but the full picture… stress, environment, toxins, sleep, family time, and the pace of life we're all trying to keep up with. Kev and Dr. Gator also get real about how modern parenting, packed schedules, processed foods, and screen time are all adding up… and why slowing down might actually be one of the most powerful things we can do. There's also a really important conversation around trusting your instincts as a parent, finding balance (instead of extremes), and focusing on what you can control, without feeling overwhelmed. Such a good reminder that the basics really do matter!

Hey Heal Squad! Parents, listen up…this is the episode you didn't know you needed. We're with world-renowned parenting educator and author Jon Fogel, and trust us…this will completely reset how you think about raising kids. Jon literally wrote the book on it (loll), called Punishment-Free Parenting: The Brain-Based Way to Raise Kids Without Raising Your Voice, and today he's breaking down why punishment and yelling don't work long-term (even if they feel effective in the moment), and what actually does. Jon shares real-life tools you can use immediately...like how to handle meltdowns without escalating them, and the surprisingly simple “game” that can turn chaos into connection in seconds. Plus he's sharing top tips like why you should never try to reason with a dysregulated child, what strengthens secure attachment, why apologizing to your kids might be the most important parenting tool you have, and a must-hear relationship hack for couples navigating different parenting styles (this alone is worth the listen!).Bottom line: this isn't about being a perfect parent. It's about being an intentional one. Small, consistent shifts can totally have a massive impact on your child's future. Hope you love this one, because we just know you're going to walk away with tools you can use today! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Punishment doesn't teach, modeling does: Punishment might stop behavior in the moment, but it doesn't create lasting change. Kids learn far more from what we show them than what we say or threaten.  Regulate first, teach later: When kids are in meltdown mode, their brains are in survival, not learning, mode. In those moments, your only job is to help them regulate (through movement, games, or calming their body). The teaching and boundaries come after they're calm. Repair is more powerful than perfection: You don't have to be a perfect parent, what matters most is how you show up after you mess up. Learning how to apologize, repair, and reconnect actually builds stronger relationships and emotional intelligence in your kids.

Hey Heal Squad! This is one of those episodes you might think isn't for you… but it absolutely is. Maria sits down with Dr. Ray Dorsey and Dr. Michael Okun, co-authors of The Parkinson's Plan, along with Lisa Volenec, founder of This Is Parkinson's, for a powerful, eye-opening conversation on what we need to know about Parkinson's right now. They break down why this disease is rising so quickly and its surprising connection to things in our everyday environment, like what's in our air, water, and food. We're also talking about what you can actually do about it… from filtering your water, to being mindful of environmental exposure, and simple shifts that can support your brain health (they've got 25 of them!). Plus, there's good news: there are more treatment options than ever, including things like focused ultrasound (something our friend Rebecca Crews recently underwent), and real lifestyle tools that can make a difference (turns out coffee can prevent the disease!). You'll also learn the early signs most people miss, like loss of smell, sleep issues, and subtle body changes, and you'll hear Lisa's powerful story of being diagnosed young, hiding it for years, and ultimately finding strength in sharing her truth and building community. And as we close out Parkinson's Awareness Month, this conversation feels more important than ever. It's not about fear, it's about awareness, action, and hope. Because when we understand more, we can do more! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Start Protecting Your Brain Now (Not Later): Most Parkinson's cases aren't genetic, so what you're exposed to over time matters. Start with what's in your control: filter your water, wash produce thoroughly to reduce pesticide exposure, add an air purifier at home,be mindful of high-exposure environments (near freeways, heavy agriculture, industrial areas). Don't Ignore “Subtle” Symptoms: Parkinson's often starts years before diagnosis, and not in the way people think. Watch for loss of smell (outside of illness), chronic constipation, subtle stiffness or slower movement just to name a few. Don't Do It Alone: Up to half of people hide their diagnosis, and that isolation can make everything harder. So find community because talking about it removes shame and builds strength.
