PLUS, Tiffany reflects on her experience in reality TV, the toll it took on her health and happiness, and how walking away helped her reclaim her voice and purpose. This short but sweet conversation will leave you inspired to rethink how you use social media, who you give your time to, and how you can create more joy in your everyday life!

Hey, Heal Squad! We are back with another Sunday Set Up to set yourself up for the week ahead. This week’s big reminder: true light work means staying neutral and compassionate, recognizing where others are on their journey, and not taking their projections personally. At the end of the day, we create our own reality, and when we stop outsourcing our power, we step out of victimhood and into freedom. We still find room for laughs with talk of retiring the donut podcast for a full-on Candy Podcast Network. We reminisce about ribbon candy,  the best and worst lollipops, and best and worst wax candies, and even float the launch of the “Dumb Parrot Society” for those of us who say a few too many stupid things - as in 99 percent of us. The real message to carry forward this week: when people act out of pain or confusion, it doesn’t have to define you. Stay grounded, hold compassion, and focus on creating the reality you want. Here’s to a clear and empowered week ahead, Heal Squad! -- 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/  Briotech: https://shopbriotech.com/ Use Code: HEALSQUAD for 20% off  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.

Happy Regular Guy Friday, Heal Squad! Why “insane times” feel louder now that we’re hyper-connected. How shock events spark outrage and reactions not necessarily of us and what to remember when they do.  Why admitting “I said something stupid,” asking for empathy, and moving on beats pretending to be perfect. How fringe voices get amplified online while real life (Walmart runs, fairs, and family moments) is far far brighter than your feed suggests. It’s time to channel Rodney Dangerfield in Caddy Shack… “So what? So let's dance!” Bye betches. -- 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/  Briotech: https://shopbriotech.com/ Use Code: HEALSQUAD for 20% off  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! Today Maria and Kelsey are diving into one of the biggest struggles we all face: negative thoughts. They unpack how our brains can get stuck in loops of stress and fear, and why those thought patterns can actually impact our health. Maria’s sharing her wisdom she’s learned from Dr Joe Dispenza and Tony Robbins, to reflect on the tools that help them shift out of negativity, get back into the present moment, and choose better-feeling thoughts that support healing and peace. From meditation to mindset shifts, they share what’s worked for them, how they catch themselves in negative spirals, and why awareness is the first step toward freedom. It’s time to take your power back because your thoughts don’t have to control you, you get to control them.

Hey Heal Squad! We’re back with Part 2 of our powerful conversation with Dr. Tiffany Moon, anesthesiologist, author of Joy Prescriptions, and former Real Housewives of Dallas star. Tiffany opens up about the harsh realities of burnout, mom guilt, and the impossible balancing act women face in careers that don’t support family life. She shares what it was really like to return to work just six weeks after giving birth to twins, the toll that lifestyle took on her mental and physical health, and how she eventually found her way back to joy. Tiffany also gives us practical tools for protecting our peace, from doing a “friend audit” to stop energy drains, to breaking free from the toxic game of comparison on social media. PLUS, she takes us behind the scenes of her time on Real Housewives, what she learned from that experience, and the life-changing safety tips everyone should know before going under anesthesia!  HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Comparison steals joy. Tiffany reminds us that social media often fuels the “compare and despair” cycle, but constantly measuring yourself against curated highlight reels only robs you of peace. Instead, she encourages focusing on your own progress and defining success on your terms. Do a friend audit. Not everyone deserves access to your energy. Tiffany shares how evaluating who truly uplifts you (and who drains you) can be life-changing,  sometimes the healthiest step is to shrink your circle and invest in relationships that give back. Know your anesthesia risks. Surgery isn’t the time to stay quiet. Tiffany emphasizes asking about medication interactions, family history, and monitoring protocols, because informed patients are safer patients. A few questions could literally save your life.

Hey Heal Squad! Today we’re joined by Dr. Tiffany Moon, board-certified anesthesiologist, author, entrepreneur, mom of twins, and yes, you may also know her from Bravo’s Real Housewives of Dallas. But behind the scenes, Tiffany has faced her own battles with infertility, PCOS, miscarriage, and the heavy weight of perfectionism. She shares what it was like to navigate the medical system as both a doctor and a patient, and the shame and isolation of infertility, the toll of hormone struggles, and how childhood trauma shaped her drive for control and perfection. Most importantly, Tiffany shares how she began to heal, giving us everything in her toolkit like therapy, coaching, and what she calls “joy prescriptions.”  If you’ve ever battled health challenges, perfectionism, or the weight of unrealistic expectations, this episode will remind you that joy isn’t something you wait for, it’s something you create from within!  HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Perfectionism steals your joy. Tiffany’s childhood trauma fueled her need for control, but real healing began when she stopped chasing perfect and started embracing imperfect progress. Joy is a prescription. Tiffany now writes herself “joy prescriptions”, intentional doses of laughter, fun, and lightness, as medicine just as important as any pill. Redefine success from within. True happiness isn’t about external achievements or titles; it’s about rewriting your own story and finding peace in who you are. -- 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/tiffanymoonmd/  Website: https://www.tiffanymoonmd.com/  Book: https://www.joyprescriptions.com/  LeadHer Summit: https://www.leadhersummit.com/ Use code: HEALSQUAD for $300 off 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.

Happy Monday, Heal Squad! This week’s chatshow is all about why joy and laughter aren’t just nice-to-haves, they’re essential healing tools, especially when life feels heavy. Maria shares behind-the-scenes stories from her whirlwind weekend, from pulling together a last-minute party to catching a comedy show that reminded her how powerful laughter really is for the soul. Along the way, she reflects on the importance of making space for fun, play, and connection, not in spite of life’s challenges, but because of them. PLUS, you’ll hear the hilarious (and surprisingly moving) story of how Maria ended up saving a frog’s life, why slowing down helped her find clarity, and how to start infusing more moments of joy into your own days, no matter what you’re going through. This episode is a reminder that joy isn’t optional, it’s medicine. -- 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.
