384. Maria’s Career Journey & Road to Entrepreneurship: Her Advice to Fellow Females and Working Women

Hey Regular Guys and Gals, Kev and Kelse are back for this edition of RGF. The role of routine in self discipline and peace. How daily Catholic mass could be your 30 minutes or less means to meditate, heal and have routine - and how anyone can attend. How lent is actually the time to transform. The difference between ketamine and psilocybin treatments. The value of doing inner work BEFORE any kind of therapy along with some steps to do so. The great online healing content for victims - and choosing the right one for you. The lack of content for the perps seeking redemption. How being judgmental creates limiting beliefs and how those limiting beliefs affect your mental and physical  health, fulfillment and success. The new healing way to look at long lines, the next time you're shopping. How tending to tasks, errands and organization can also be vices. Spring is around the corner - bye B's.  -- 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/ Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy’s Page: Shop My Macy’s Storefront AquaTru: https://aquatruwater.com/ code: HEALSQUAD AirDoctor: https://airdoctorpro.com/ code: HEALSQUAD Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Sleep Number: https://www.sleepnumber.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.

Hey, Heal Squad! Kels & Nat are back together (!!) and diving into a convo we all need—why is it so easy to hype up others, but so hard to bet on ourselves? 🤯We’re also unpacking the fear of launching something new, why we outsource validation instead of trusting ourselves, how to break through perfectionism & JUST START, and the magic of surrounding yourself with people who lift you up. Oh, and we also cover Maui trips, dream birthdays, and some seriously cosmic timing with a Kelly Clarkson cover. 😂 It’s deep, it’s fun, and it might just be the push you need to finally go all in on YOU.

Hey, Regular Friends! If you're feeling lonely this Friday, welcome to the club. It's another edition of Lonely Guy Friday. This week, we’re diving into the unexpected wisdom of Sixto Rodriguez from Searching for Sugarman—how his lyrics AND life story can teach us more than we realize. Kev unpacks his experiences with ketamine and psilocybin therapy—why some people turn to them for healing, how they compare, and what surprising revelations they brought (including a bizarre visit from Charles Manson?!). How some people substitute mushrooms for a self-guided healing journey and how they do it effectively. How animals send us messages. How there may be a fine line between Serial Killer and Superstar - Despot and Deity.  May the learning and healing continue. Talk shawtly. Disclaimer: This is just one person’s experience, not an endorsement for or against these therapies. Any treatment involving ketamine, psilocybin, or mushrooms should be distributed and guided by a professional, if at all. -- 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/ Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy’s Page: Shop My Macy’s Storefront AquaTru: https://aquatruwater.com/ code: HEALSQUAD AirDoctor: https://airdoctorpro.com/ code: HEALSQUAD Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Sleep Number: https://www.sleepnumber.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.
