Maria is back, joined by Kev, for a special Heal Squad edition of 'Recliner Talks'. The mandatory phase when pursuing lofty goals: how it can't be avoided and how to best navigate. How to deal with inappropriate or toxic people, how it isn't just a matter of owning your power - at least in the way you've been advised. How the advice we receive is not often meant for everyone, at every phase of one's life. What 'floor are people on' aka what level of consciousness and how knowing so will determine many things including how to be in best harmony with them. What is toxic TV viewing and how could it be affecting your success and health? Deciphering the messages behind the bad things that happen to you and what is a 'Redirect.' On the lighter side, the power of Sonny and Cher's last performance, the lessons from South Park's Underpants Gnomes and the forgotten solo hit from Art Garfunkel. Plus why recliners are medicinal, the affordable space saving recliner for you and the underrated power of minivans!   HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS  IG: @HealSquad TikTok: @HealSquadxMaria APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/heal-squad-x-maria-menounos/id1320060107 SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/2kXrmaNDQQ4i6prZe6LO89?si=19af23c6154943d0  HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Website: www.mariamenounos.com  Curated Macy’s Page: macys.com/healsquad  Amazon Storefront: https://www.amazon.com/shop/mariamenounos  Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquadxMariaMenounos 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.

It's other people’s definitions of success that drives us. It's other people's definitions of success that keeps us on the treadmill, too: running at high speed and not getting anywhere. Mindfulness is paying attention to the present moment without judgment. Mindfulness is the pause between stimulus and response. What is imposter syndrome, how do we (and others) impose it, why is it so detrimental and what can be done to alleviate it. Breath work is actual medicine AND different kinds of breath work can alleviate different kinds of ailments and conditions. Harvard MBA turned mindfulness and breath work coach, Zee Clarke shares all of the above. She also shares specific breathing exercises and step by step, at home, healing practices. In addition, Zee explains the art of setting boundaries and how to take your power back.  Zee's website: https://www.zeeclarke.com/ HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS  IG: @HealSquad TikTok: @HealSquadxMaria APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/heal-squad-x-maria-menounos/id1320060107 SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/2kXrmaNDQQ4i6prZe6LO89?si=19af23c6154943d0  HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Website: www.mariamenounos.com  Curated Macy’s Page: macys.com/healsquad  Amazon Storefront: https://www.amazon.com/shop/mariamenounos  Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquadxMariaMenounos 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.  ABOUT HEAL SQUAD x MARIA MENOUNOS: A daily digital talk-show that brings you the world's leading healers, experts, and celebrities to share groundbreaking secrets and tips to getting better in all areas of life.

Does life have you in contant states of stress and anxiety? Did you know that your nervous system elicits these states NOT your mind? That your nervous system has been programmed by your life's experiences? That life traumas lead to a 'dysregulated' nervous system that leave you in states of stress, anxiety and even chronic illness? That our culture is made up of dysregulation? That your nervous system profoundly affects purpose and relationships.   Sarah Baldwin, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and trauma-trained Life Coach is back for part two to teach us how you can reprogram and regulate your nervous system for relief. How somatic tools such as swaying, tapping and even playing music can regulate your nervous system and how proximity to others who are dysregulated can dysregulate you. She also breaks down the three states we enter in times of stress and how our states create our story (NOT vice versa) as well as somatic boundaries vs. normal boundaries.   If you're looking for a system reboot, to be able to respond, not react, to live a more calming, peaceful and healthier life, this episode is for you. Be sure to check out Part One if you haven't already.
