938. Breaking Down the “Save Your Tears” Myth w/ Former Dance Moms Star Nia Sioux
Happy Wednesday Heal Squad! Welcome back to part 2 of our conversation with Nia Sioux, where we delve deeper into the lessons she’s learned from her time on Dance Moms and how it’s shaped her outlook on life. Nia talks about the infamous "save your tears for the pillow" mantra and how it symbolizes the silencing of youth, especially in high-pressure environments. She shares her thoughts on the older generation's critique of younger people being "too sensitive" and discusses the real impact of social media on mental health and why mental health issues seem more prevalent today, touching on the importance of allowing yourself to feel emotions without dwelling on them. Nia reflects on her relationships with the original Dance Moms cast and Abby, and whether she’d ever consider returning to reality TV. This episode is a candid look at navigating the complexities of being in the public eye while staying grounded in authenticity that you don’t want to miss. Healers and Heal Liners 93% of people that come at you are actually projecting. Your path is unique to you. Live your life in a way that is authentic to you.

Regular *Girl* Friday Ep. 185: No Detours to Greatness
Brat summer is over, but Virgo season is here reminding us to know our value and worth!!! Resident Mama, Mama Tish Cyrus pops back by, it’s only fair, as she was actually the one to coin Regular Girl Friday, Regular Girl Friday. We talk about being your own advocate, especially as a female, in life and DEFINITELY at the doctor's office, as Kelsey had a not-so-pleasant reminder of that. Let go and let God, am I right?! Stop outsourcing your power and when things and people get in the way of your greatness, remember to not let them deter you. Vince Vaughn reminds us to not dwell on the negative because if we do so we will miss all the positive… and those negative things might get stuck in our bodies. RIP to the legend that is Fat Man Scoop. Congrats to the queen that is Sabrina Carpenter. Letter writing is NOT DEAD. And the best drink travel hack for your next airport visit… Happy Regular Girl FRIYAY!

934. Navigating The Fear of Change vs. The Joy of Transformation w/ Julianne Hough
Happy Wednesday Heal Squad! Welcome back for part 2 of my conversation with my friend Julianne Hough. In this episode, we continue to explore the themes of healing, transformation, and self-discovery that shaped her new book, Everything We Never Knew. Julianne opens up about the power of trusting our intuition, despite the fear of being misunderstood, and how embracing the mentality of “Who says?” has empowered her to break free from societal expectations. We also discuss her return to Dancing with the Stars, where she feels a deep sense of belonging, and how the show is more than just dance—it's a space for transformation. Julianne reflects on her life’s purpose, her dreams for the future, and what she truly wants to feel and experience moving forward to wrap out our conversation on finding balance, embracing change, and living authentically. Healers and Heal-Liners We are so disconnected from our intuition because we are scared people won't believe us. It’s both a beautiful and scary thing how humans can adapt so well. What will come to you is what is best for your highest self, and not what you think you should have.
