1330. Maria’s “Fun Crisis + 6 Ways to Spark Creativity (Alone Time, ChatGPT Home Design, NEW Recipes)

Hey Heal Squad! Maria is back with six things that made her week so much better….and this week, there’s a theme: stop waiting for what you need and start creating more of it. Whether that is tackling a backyard project or the latest recipe form instagram, we hope this episode inspires you to create something you want more of. So first up, Maria shares why some unexpected alone time helped her recharge, get creative, and realize that needing space doesn’t mean loving your people any less. Then, we get into what she’s calling her “fun crisis”and the realization that if you’re craving more fun, connection, or play in your life, maybe it’s time to stop waiting for someone else to make it happen. Maybe it’s time to (as they say at the Nike offices) JUST DO IT! Then we get practical: Maria shares how she’s using ChatGPT to redesign and visualize spaces (like a new Heal Squad space!), and then a ridiculously simple trick that helped revive her rough, dry hair. Finally, new recipes! Maria shares two recipes that were actual hits with the family: sugar-free peanut butter chocolate chip cookies with one VERY unexpected ingredient, and a sweet potato pizza experiment.We hope you find one little thing in here that works for you this week, enjoy!
