Hey, Heal Squad! This week, we're joined this week by Hollywood child star, Alyson Stoner for one of the most vulnerable conversations we've ever had on children's mental health. In Part 1, Alyson opens up about the hidden cost of childhood fame, the impact of growing up in unsafe environments, and the long-term effects of being a “performing child.” They share what it's like to heal publicly, how childhood trauma shows up in adulthood, and why so many of us are still carrying the coping mechanisms we learned just to survive. PLUS, we talk about the importance of creating safe spaces for kids today (especially as the mental health crisis deepens) and how to begin reparenting your inner child with compassion. This one's for anyone healing their past, parenting in the present, or simply looking to break the cycle for the next generation. You don't want to miss out, tune in!!  HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  The Cost of Early Success: Childhood fame often comes with emotional neglect and performance pressure. Alyson breaks down how trauma hides in plain sight, and how to reclaim your voice. Trauma Responses Are Not Personality Traits: People-pleasing, perfectionism, overachievement, these aren't quirks. They're signs your inner child is still trying to survive. Reparenting Your Inner Child: Healing means meeting the needs you never got growing up, especially rest, safety, and emotional validation. You can be the safe space you always needed. -- 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 Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alysonstoner/?hl=en  Website: https://www.movementgenius.com/  Book: https://go.shopmy.us/p-22515941  Artist WellBeing Toolkit: https://www.movementgenius.com/artist-wellbeing-toolkit-new  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.

Episode Summary: We're taking it back to an episode that's right on time—especially with just four months left in the year. If you're feeling pulled in too many directions, or if the goals you set in January still aren't complete, this conversation is exactly what you need to finish strong. In this episode of the Published and Paid®️ Podcast, I'm talking about something that shifted everything in my business: focus. For a long time, I was doing a lot—jumping between programs, chasing ideas, trying to build everything at once—and still not seeing the results I wanted. Things didn't change until I locked in. One book. One message. One offer. And that's when everything started to work. I'm sharing the practical steps I took to narrow my focus and finally start moving with clarity and consistency. If you've been busy but not productive, or stuck in start-stop cycles, this episode will help you reset and refocus. Episode Takeaways: Focus Fuels Success: Commit to one clear goal at a time. Consistency beats chaos every time. Set Daily Priorities: Choose 3–5 key tasks each day. Focus on the top 3—and celebrate if you finish more. Create a Distraction-Free Environment: Do Not Disturb is your best friend. Shut down distractions and protect your time. Use What Works: Time-blocking and Pomodoro aren't just buzzwords—they're tools that help you execute. Breaks Keep You Sharp: Rest between focused work sessions to avoid burnout and mental fatigue. End the Day With Stillness: Stretching or meditating can reset your mind and improve how you show up tomorrow. Quoteables: "Things didn't start working well for me until I locked all the way in and focused on one thing—one book, one message, one coaching program." "If you focus on one task, you'll complete it in half the time with double the accuracy compared to juggling multiple tasks." "Distraction breaks momentum. Every time you check your phone or email, you lose valuable time regaining focus." "There's such a thing as having too many voices in your head. Focus all the way in, maximize where you are, and make it work for you." "You don't need to do everything. You just need to do the right things consistently."

Feeling stuck or unsure about your path? You're not alone. Hey Heal Squad! In this throwback episode, Maria is joined by Jonathan Fields, author, speaker, and host of the Good Life Project, to help us navigate the big question: what should I do with my life? Together, they unpack how to find clarity through curiosity, why passion isn't something you find (it's something you grow), and how to align your work with your purpose. Jonathan breaks down how to identify your “sparketype,” the unique imprint of how you're wired to contribute to the world. We talk about the power of slowing down, getting curious instead of controlling, and trusting that sometimes the answers come when we stop chasing them. Maria shares how she's finding peace in the “not knowing,” and why your path might look different, and that's a good thing. If you're in a season of searching or just need a reminder that it's okay to be where you are, tune in. Your purpose isn't something to figure out, it's something you feel into. -- 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 Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathanfields/ Website: https://www.jonathanfields.com/about/  Book: https://go.shopmy.us/p-22234753  Discover your Sparketype: https://sparketype.com//  Part 1 of Jonathan Fields on Heal Squad: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/335-how-to-change-careers-successfully-at-any-age-with/id1320060107?i=1000535272865 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.

Mitch Lee, CEO of Arc Boat Company, is bringing the Tesla playbook to boating. Arc's quiet, software-powered electric boats—like the sold-out Arc Sport—deliver cleaner rides, zero fumes, and customizable wave settings.

Hey, Heal Squad! In this week's chatshow, Maria and Dr. Alison dive into the simple but powerful shifts that are helping them feel better, think clearer, and take control of their health, starting with skin tone, teeth, & eye colors! From pale gums to purplish lips, dry skin to yellowing eyes, they break down what visible clues like skin tone, tooth color, and eye clarity can tell you about your blood pressure, circulation, and overall well-being. You'll learn how these subtle signs are actually messages from your body, and what they could be warning you about. PLUS, Maria shares what she's learned from her own health journey (including how her lip color helped spot a major issue), and why tuning into your body's signals can help you feel empowered instead of overwhelmed. If you've ever looked in the mirror and felt like something was “off”, this episode will help you understand why and what to do next. -- 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 Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join the In-Person Heal Waitlist: https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist 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! Today's Heal in 10 episode is a simple reminder we all need. Dr. Zach Bush returns with a powerful invitation: to pause, reconnect, and remember that healing doesn't start in a clinic… it starts in the soil, in stillness, and in the truth of who you are. We explore how disconnection from nature creates disease, how touching the Earth can begin to restore your gut, mind, and spirit, and why getting your hands in the dirt might heal more than just your body. Dr. Zach also shares why creativity is our most sacred act, and how art, simplicity, and sitting with elders or children can reconnect us to our purpose. If you're feeling overwhelmed, lost, or off-track, this episode might give you the answer you need.

Happy Friday, Heal Squad! We're back with another Regular Guy Friday and this week we have a very special throwback episode! Kev, Kelsey, Nat, and Ian get real about the “fog” that clouds our vision during change, whether it's a career shift, health challenge, or even organizing your kitchen drawer. They talk about honoring the transition periods (yes, even the messy ones!), letting go of shame when your life doesn't look how you thought it would, and embracing the idea that you don't have to do it all right now. PLUS: the power of setting up your space for success, Kev's theory on the “big clean,” and why turning 50 might actually be the moment everything clicks. Oh, and a few laughs about Kev's recent attempts at minimalism and the wisdom of a good sandwich. Here's your Friday permission slip to slow down, recalibrate, and give yourself some grace. Let's end the week with clarity and compassion

Hey Heal Squad! In today's episode, Maria is sharing some of the biggest mindset shifts, life lessons, and self-love practices that have changed her life.  We talk about what it really means to love yourself through action, from simplifying your schedule to decluttering your space and honoring your capacity. From why saying “no” is an act of self-respect, how I've learned to make loving choices (eveI share n when they're hard), to what her nighttime self-check-in ritual looks like. PLUS, Maria opens up about one of her favorite new health hacks and why it's become her go-to for immune support and energy. We also dive into relationships, boundaries, and why so many of us settle,  not because we want to, but because we're afraid to be alone. And if you've ever needed a reminder that life is happening for you, not to you, this episode will bring it home in a big way. Let's keep doing the work, keep getting better, and keep remembering we're in this together.  -- 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 Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist 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! We're back with Part 2 of our powerful conversation with triple board-certified physician and thought leader Dr. Zach Bush, and this one dives even deeper into what it really takes to heal. Dr. Bush shares the emotional and biological impact of disconnection, from our bodies, our purpose, and the natural world. He explains why so many of us feel numb, inflamed, or stuck in survival mode. We explore how today's chronic symptoms aren't just physical issues, but signs of soul sickness: a profound disconnection from our bodies, our purpose, and the living world around us. He reveals how modern environments suppress our nervous systems and steal our vitality, and why true healing begins with restoring inner stillness and reconnecting to nature. Zach also opens up about the “I Am” frequency, indigenous wisdom, and how suffering can actually be the portal to remembering who we really are.If you're feeling off and nothing seems to be working, this conversation might just be the medicine you need. HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS: Disconnection rewires your biology. From gut inflammation to emotional numbness, Dr. Zach reveals how disconnection from nature, community, and self fuels disease… and how restoring connection brings the body back online. The nervous system won't heal in survival mode. Burnout, fatigue, and chronic illness thrive in a culture of overstimulation and overperformance. Zach shares why stillness, biodiversity, and the power of presence are the medicine our bodies are wired for. You are not broken, you've just forgotten who you are. Through suffering, we're given the chance to return to the “I Am.” Dr. Zach explains how embracing pain (instead of escaping it) becomes the portal to healing, purpose, and reconnection. -- 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 Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zachbushmd/ Website: https://zachbushmd.com/  ION Support: http://www.ionbiome.com  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.

Episode Summary: In this episode, I'm bringing you inside one of the most powerful moments from Published and Paid LIVE—when I sat down with my personal Money Team: CPA Eric McGlothin and Financial Advisor Harvey Maclin. These are the experts I trust with my own finances, and in this session, they dropped gems on how authors, coaches, and entrepreneurs can build sustainable wealth—not just get paid once. We talk about why how you structure your income is just as important as how much you make, the difference between short-term checks and long-term wealth, and the tax traps that keep high earners stuck. Whether you're brand new to business or already earning six figures, this conversation will help you think differently about your money—and build smarter. Key Takeaways: Don't just earn—structure. Your income needs a plan, or you'll be stuck in hustle mode forever. Taxes are not optional. Learn how to minimize your liability legally and avoid IRS issues down the line. Business and personal finances must stay separate. Period. Plan for retirement now. There's no badge of honor in working forever—build systems that allow you to rest later. Get a team. You don't need to know everything—but you do need support from professionals who do. Memorable Quotes: “Making money is great. Keeping it is better.” – Eric McGlothin “You cannot retire from what you didn't plan.” – Harvey Maclin “Too many entrepreneurs are building big brands with broke business models.” – Jasmine Womack “Your business income should be funding your wealth—not just your lifestyle.” Secure your spot for the Monetize Your Book Challenge (Sept 8 - Sept 12): Discover the secret to making sales before your expert book is published, with your book, and beyond your book- and leveraging your book to grow your business CLICK HERE TO REGISTER: www.monetizeyourbooknow.com Stay Connected with Me: Instagram: @thejasminewomack Facebook: @authorjasminewomack LinkedIn: @thejasminewomack YouTube: @thejasminewomack Website: www.jasminewomack.com Grab Your Copy: Published and Paid – Write, self-publish, and launch your nonfiction book in 90 days or less.Ready to get it done?

Paris interviews Desiree Astorga, a talented photographer known for her work in sports, particularly skateboarding. Desiree shares the intriguing story of her last name, which isn't her birth name, and the humorous discovery that her family's Italian heritage was a fabrication. She discusses her Belgian mother's background as an Olympic diver and her own athletic upbringing, which led to her passion for sports photography. Desiree highlights her love for the skateboarding community, emphasizing the supportive and resilient nature of its culture, and recounts how she and Paris met through a skateboarding event.Desiree also details her extensive experience in radio, having hosted "The Desiree Show" for 13 years on various stations like World Tune Radio and Dash Radio. She's now transitioning her show to a podcast, which will also include video, broadcast from Skullcandy's facilities. She explains her rigorous three-hour prep process for each show, contrasting it with Paris's unscripted approach. The conversation touches on Desiree's work with NFL players, which began through unexpected encounters and led to photography opportunities at games, practices, and even their homes, building genuine friendships rather than "groupie" relationships.Finally, Desiree shares her future aspirations, including a potential photography show at Mollusk and Funk in Santa Barbara and a new film photography series called "The Dynamo Series," focusing on inspiring women. She discusses her appreciation for live music and acknowledges the shift in the media landscape from magazines to digital platforms. The interview concludes with information on how listeners can find "The Desiree Show" podcast and view her photography online, with Paris expressing gratitude for Desiree's presence and support.Show Notes:www.theparischongshow.com/episodes/desiree-astorga-behind-the-lens-for-skate-nfl-and-punk-rock-photographerChapters:(00:00:00) Intro(00:00:22) Desiree Astorga(00:04:55) The Desiree Show(00:09:41) Published as Desiree(00:14:34) What do you do now?(00:17:30) Prepping for a Podcast(00:21:18) Getting in, in the NFL(00:25:08) Who's your team?(00:27:18) Live Shows(00:31:24) Photo Wish List(00:33:16) Find More Desiree(00:35:09) Outro

Hey, Heal Squad! This week we're joined by one of the most powerful voices in integrative medicine: Dr. Zach Bush, a triple board-certified physician and internationally recognized educator on the microbiome, environmental health, and root-cause healing. In Part 1 of this mind-expanding conversation, Dr. Bush explains why our environment (not just our genetics) is the true driver of chronic disease. He breaks down how our disconnection from soil, community, and inner consciousness is weakening our immunity, gut function, and emotional health. From soil depletion to childhood trauma, he reveals how our fractured relationship with nature, each other, and ourselves has created a deep soul-sickness that's manifesting as disease. PLUS, Dr. Bush shares what soil health teaches us about healing, how to reawaken your innate intelligence, and why self-love is more powerful than any prescription. This isn't just about symptoms, it's about remembering who you are. Tune in!  HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Disconnection causes disease: True healing starts when we reconnect to nature, the microbiome, and our own inner voice, not just when we treat symptoms. The environment mirrors your health: The toxins in our soil, air, and water are disrupting our gut, brain, and immune systems, but regeneration is possible when we change how we live and grow. Consciousness is medicine: Awareness, presence, and community are powerful healing tools, especially in a world that thrives on distraction and disconnection. -- 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 Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zachbushmd/ Website: https://zachbushmd.com/  ION Support: http://www.ionbiome.com  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.

My guest today is the award-winning novelist Sarah Perry. Sarah is the internationally bestselling author of four novels, but the one you will almost definitely heard of (and may well have watched) is The Essex Serpent. Published in 2016, it sold over half a million copies, and won both British Book of the Year and Waterstones book of the year before being made into an apple tv+ series starring Clare Danes and Tom Hiddleston (Sarah was an extra!). Sarah has also been nominated for the booker prize, the women's prize for fiction and the costa novel award, amongst others. Born and brought up in Essex, Sarah is chancellor of Essex University, where her latest novel Enlightenment is set. Enlightenment - a novel about the presence and absence of faith draws more directly on her own life than usual - because Sarah, as you may or not know grew up in a closed religious community. I met Sarah at her publisher's office in South London to talk about being brought up in the equivalent of 1860, leaving the church, and coming out of the womb as a 45 year old novelist! We also discussed the success that led to incurable illness, the surprisingly difficult transition from a woman who doesn't have children to a woman who didn't have children, premature menopause and why she doesn't want to look like someone who hasn't seen death. Btw, I've made that sound really depressing - I promise it isn't! * You can buy all the books mentioned in this podcast at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Shift bookshop on Bookshop.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, including I'm Mostly Here To Enjoy Myself as well as the book that inspired this podcast, The Shift: how I lost and found myself after 40 - and you can too, by me. * If you enjoyed this episode and you fancy buying me a coffee, pop over to my page on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠buymeacoffee.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. • And if you'd like to support the work that goes into making this podcast and get a weekly newsletter plus loads more content including exclusive transcripts of the podcast, why not join The Shift community, come and have a look around at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.theshiftwithsambaker.substack.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ • The Shift (on life after 40) with Sam Baker is created and hosted by Sam Baker and edited by Juliette Nicholls at Pineapple Production.

This week on Black & Published, Nikesha speaks with James Stewart, III, the author of the novel, Defiant Acts. It's a non linear story about an interracial family that couples the mundanity of everyday life with the incendiary explosiveness of racial reckoning out in the world. In our conversation, James discusses how he recreated his life from what was expected of him as a working class man. Plus, how he allowed his personal values guide his craft and bridge the gaps in his memory in this work of auto-fiction. And in working 10 years to publish this book James explains why his first publisher canceled his book deal. Mahogany Books Mentioned in this episode:Rate & ReviewThanks for listening, family!

Have you ever looked at your lab results and thought… wait, what does that even mean? Well, you're in luck because in today's episode, we're diving into some major truths about cholesterol, blood pressure, and why your lab results might not be telling you the full story. Maria and Dr. Allison are back (outside, of course!), and breaking down what your body is really trying to say through those “off” numbers, and why the default answer doesn't always need to be a statin. We talk about how sunlight, circadian rhythm, and even your lighting at work can drastically affect your health, your hormones, your cholesterol levels, and your entire nervous system. This conversation is about learning to read your body's signals differently and realizing that your environment might be the thing holding your healing back. We share simple, powerful ways to shift that, without needing to overhaul your life. Let's clear the noise, tune in to the body, and take our power back… one sunrise at a time!  -- 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 Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join the In-Person Heal Waitlist: https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist HEADLINES & RESOURCES: https://x.com/valerieanne1970/status/1937042212472193461?s=48&t=X9m9bZdA4Wv4EPEUZZKZrg  https://www.instagram.com/p/DL4r12EsNIO/?hl=en  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.
