The Gratitude Jar Method: How to Break Free from a Funk Fast

Hey, Heal Squad! Before we all sit around the Thanksgiving Day table, we’re throwing it back to one of our most powerful conversations with Mel Robbins… because honestly, there’s no better time than Thanksgiving week to revisit these tools. If you ever find yourself slipping into people-pleasing mode around the holidays, this episode is your reset. Mel breaks down why people pleasing shows up so strongly with family, why it has nothing to do with being “nice,” and how to stop abandoning your own needs just to keep the peace. She also shares how to use her iconic High Five Habit to center yourself before stepping into family gatherings. You’ll walk away with tools like, how to stop managing everyone’s reactions and emotions, what to do when comments or judgments hit a nerve, and tiny, drama-free boundaries you can set in real time. If you want this Thanksgiving to feel different, lighter, healthier, and way more you this throwback episode is for you! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS:  Dimming Your Light Holds You Back: Maria and Mel discuss how hiding your gifts, energy, or success doesn’t protect others, it deprives the world of what you’re here to give. Someone out there needs the version of you that’s fully expressed. People Pleasing Isn’t About Pleasing Others: Mel drops a bomb: People pleasing is manipulative. It’s rooted in insecurity and in trying to control how others react to you. Most of it begins in childhood, when we link approval with love and survival. You Can Only Control Your Attitude and Your Actions: A “high-five attitude” isn’t pretending things are perfect, it’s choosing resilience, perspective, and forward motion, even in painful seasons.

Happy Lonely Guy Friday, Heal Squad! With a little help from John Lennon’s “Working Class Hero,” Kev unpacks the ways many of us were molded, managed, or minimized… and how that old conditioning shows up today as self-abandonment. It’s Kev’s birfday week and he shares how any “lonely guy birthday” becomes beautiful with an annual “I see you.' and a reminder to be grateful.  He breaks down how saying yes when your body screams no, shrinking to keep the peace, or trading your truth for someone else’s comfort sends one clear signal to the universe: “I don’t matter.” And how the universe can’t support a life you’re not willing to stand in. How self-abandonment quietly builds a life that doesn’t fit, and how tiny daily choices begin to undo it. He also dives into the difference between Catholic culture vs. Catholic faith (and how every religion has its version), why endings reorganize your whole timeline, and why honesty over appeasement is the real path home to yourself. In true RGF fashion, we also cover the too-late Thanksgiving, the too-fast Christmas, Mariah Carey officially kicking off holiday celebrations on Nov 1st. On behalf of Kelsey, Ann, Maria, and the whole Heal Squad fam… Bye Betches, and we’ll talk shortly.

Hey Heal Squad! We’re back with Part 2 of our conversation with Kelly Sullivan Walden, and today we’re going way deeper into the subconscious. Kelly breaks down why recurring dreams, “random” dream characters, and emotional themes aren’t accidents,  they’re messages from your inner world asking to be understood, healed, or completed. She also introduces us to her JET SET dream-decoding formula and explains how to use Image Rehearsal Therapy (a powerful technique studied at Harvard) to re-enter a dream, resolve stuck emotions, and finally get the peace or closure you’ve been craving. PLUS, we explore the difference between ego goals and soul goals, why manifesting doesn’t work unless the subconscious feels safe, and how to use nighttime intention-setting to magnetize what you actually want (and not what stresses you out). And if you’ve ever had recurring dreams about missing flights, running late, or old relationships resurfacing? Kelly helps the booth break down exactly what those dreams reveal… you don’t want to miss this one!  HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Recurring dreams show you exactly where you’re still stuck. When the same dream keeps returning, it’s your subconscious highlighting the fear, wound, or belief you’re finally ready to outgrow. Soul goals create real alignment in your life. When you shift from chasing external “wins” to connecting with the deeper feeling you truly want, your energy changes, and your subconscious stops resisting what you’re trying to manifest. Your dreams reveal the gap between the life you’re living and the life you’re meant for. Themes like being left behind, running late, or choosing a different path mirror the real choices you’re afraid to make. When you interpret them, you gain clarity on what needs to shift so you can finally move forward. -- 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/  Thrive Causemetics: https://thrivecausemetics.com/healsquad Get 20% OFF with this link!  Briotech: https://shopbriotech.com/ Use Code: HEALSQUAD for 20% off  GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kellyswalden/  Website: https://www.kellysullivanwalden.com/  Book: https://go.shopmy.us/p-31008148  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 we’re joined by Dr. Dream herself, Kelly Sullivan Walden, to talk about how dreams actually guide your health, stress, intuition, and even the big decisions you’re wrestling with in real life. Kelly breaks down her “Dreamifesting” method, how to ask your dreams for guidance before bed, how to decode what shows up (without Googling symbols), and how your subconscious sends you messages through both your dreams and your feelings during the day. PLUS, we get into why we’re all so disconnected from our intuition, how to tell the difference between fear and a real message, and how five minutes of stillness can shift your whole energy. If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’re missing the signs your body and spirit are trying to give you… this one’s going to open something up. Tune in, Heal Squad! HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Your dreams are messages from your subconscious: When you learn to listen, your dreams can reveal what your body, intuition, and emotional world have been trying to tell you. They become one of the most powerful tools for clarity and healing. Stillness is medicine: Even five minutes of quiet before sleep or after waking can shift your nervous system and open the channel for intuition, guidance, and the inner wisdom most of us rush past during the day. What you want isn’t the thing, it’s the feeling underneath it:  Kelly teaches that our dreams help us uncover the deeper desire we’re really chasing, peace, safety, connection, fulfillment, so we can manifest from fullness instead of lack. -- 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/  Thrive Causemetics: https://thrivecausemetics.com/healsquad Get 20% OFF with this link!  Briotech: https://shopbriotech.com/ Use Code: HEALSQUAD for 20% off  GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kellyswalden/  Website: https://www.kellysullivanwalden.com/  Book: https://go.shopmy.us/p-31008148  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! In honor of National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month, we thought to dive into all things, brain health. Our brains shape everything… focus, emotions, habits, decisions,  yet most of us spend more time caring for our skin than our mind. So, we’re breaking down what it actually means to support a healthier, stronger, more resilient brain. You’ll hear insights from four of the top voices in brain science: Dr. Daniel Amen on identifying your unique brain type, Jim Kwik on training your mind with simple daily habits, Dr. Drew Ramsey on the foods that fuel (or drain) your focus, and Dr. Caroline Leaf on rewiring negative thoughts and emotional patterns. From nutrition to morning rituals to neuroplasticity, this episode will help you understand how adaptable your brain really is, and how small, consistent choices can improve your mood, memory, focus, and long-term brain health. Here’s your reminder to take care of your brain health today!  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/  Thrive Causemetics: https://thrivecausemetics.com/healsquad Get 20% OFF with this link!  Briotech: https://shopbriotech.com/ Use Code: HEALSQUAD for 20% 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.
