196. 5 Steps To Caretaking For Others & Yourself During Covid & Beyond

What is your love language and the love language of those you interact with? How being mindful of people's love languages (and your own) will help you in all relationships, business and personal. How (and why) success in youth is often prohibitive. How the partner you choose can make or break your dreams. Turn towards people who get you and away from people who don't get you and you'll get even more of what you turn towards.

Happy Throwback Thursday Heal Squad. Today we’re bringing back our conversation with End of Life and Grief Doula, Dianne Gray, as she offers practical guidance and support on navigating the grieving process. Death is an inevitable part of life and through the perfectly, imperfect mess that this experience brings us, Dianne reminds us to give ourselves grace because grieving takes time. Once a loved one passes away, they’re not completely gone, their energy has just shifted, and we can ask ourselves the important question "Who Am I Becoming?" as we navigate life with them in a different form. Dianne also helps us address the often-overlooked emotion of anger in the grieving process, grief attacks, and various other components of grief that will allow us to look at it differently.  Healers & Heal-Liners We all experience death, but what do we do with it?  If you’re a long-time caregiver, understand that caregiving is brutal. Love is energy and energy is neither created nor destroyed. It just changes forms Research shows that if we can go 20-30 minutes in nature, it elevates and changes our brain makeup and also helps us to connect.  If you lose a spouse, partner, or someone that they are tied to - give yourself a long runway. Realize that life is not going to change overnight. Give yourself years to adapt to whatever your life might become. We cry when we feel safe. It’s our way to just release.  Grieving isn’t just when someone dies. Grieving is during the whole process of someone being ill. Don’t put a period, where a comma has been placed.

Happy Wednesday Heal Squad. We have such an amazing episode today as author, producer, and former Ambassador to the Bahamas Nicole Avant joins us today to share the inspiration behind her book ‘Think You’ll Be Happy: Moving Through Grief with Grit, Grace, and Gratitude”. Nicole gives a raw and courageous look into how she found the light in her darkest moment after her mother was tragically murdered and reminds us that grief is different for everyone, and we have the power to move through it in our unique way. She reflects on the inevitability of death and how our response to its presence defines our own lives. Nicole's choice to respond with gratitude serves as a powerful reminder to cherish the time we have with loved ones and celebrate the impact they had on our lives. Throughout the episode, Nicole inspires us to honor our lost loved ones by living fully and recognizing the preciousness of each day. Through her powerful insights and personal stories, she reminds us that life is both beautiful and tough and that our journey is defined by the impact we make on others. Trust me when I say this is a must-listen episode for any and everyone.  Healers & Heal-Liners You have to have the ability to respond to life It’s very important during grief to feel it all and not sweep it under the rug Choosing to be happy, begins with believing you will be happy Our blessings are not to be hoarded Your ministry is wherever you are Grief is the receipt from the universe showing you that you loved someone or something and loved them very deeply  Learn More about Nicole Avant Buy Your Copy of ‘Think You’ll Be Happy: Moving Through Grief with Grit, Grace, and Gratitude’: https://thinkyoullbehappy.com/ Nicole Avant’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicoleavant?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== 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/ Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy’s Page: Shop my Macy’s Wishlist OUAI: https://theouai.com/ use promo code: HEALSQUAD for 15% off Just Thrive: https://justthrivehealth.com and use promo code: HEALSQUAD for 20% off your first 90-day bottle of Just Calm and Just Thrive Probiotic Wonderful Pistachios: http://www.wonderfulpistachios.com/ 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.

This outdoor chat or 'Grab Bag Tuesday' Edition of Heal Squad features Maria and Kev discussing daughter Athena's upcoming Christening. In a new 'versus' segment, the couple discusses Being Clever vs. Being Wise in personal and business decisions and why the former is short-sighted. They also weigh in on Gratitude Lists vs. Accomplishment Lists. Is there a means to do both? And how the more acute the depression, the greater the need to write an Accomplishment List over a Gratitude One. Heal Squad's 'Grab Bag Tuesday' goes meta when Kev breaks down the contents of a 1970's burfday grab bag.  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/ Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy’s Page: Shop my Macy’s Wishlist OUAI: https://theouai.com/ use promo code: HEALSQUAD for 15% off Just Thrive: https://justthrivehealth.com and use promo code: HEALSQUAD for 20% off your first 90-day bottle of Just Calm and Just Thrive Probiotic Wonderful Pistachios: http://www.wonderfulpistachios.com/ 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.

This Heal Squad Monday outdoor chat features Maria and Kev going deep into the healing power of the sun. How lack of energy is the number one physical complaint of many today. On that note, are you low in energy due to illness or are you just exposed to too much blue light and not enough sunlight? In every room you're in, author Nicole Avant says to always be the blessing and to share the blessings. Maria's ask from Fran Dresser she can't refuse.

Greetings fellow Regulars and Happy Regular Guy Friday! When you remove ego from decision making. How asking 'what's the why' and answering honestly vastly affects decisions. How societal and PR false narratives have been around for hundreds of years and why they require more thought. How running errands reduces depression. How thinking about your problems leads to more problems and why running errands could lead to the reverse. Why ending the day with an Accomplishment List vs. a Gratitude List is even more healing. Abe Lincoln, Susuki Samuarias, why beliefs today tend to trump the facts, how what is going on with current humanity is really nothing new, and why it's still about those microtransactions. RGF Bonus; Has Kelsey aged out of Hot Girl Summer and how it could be the Hot Girl Summer of Heal.

Happy Throwback Thursday Heal Squad! Today we are bringing back our conversation with Aubrey Marcus and he is taking us on a deep dive into the world of Ayahuasca and psychedelics. This week we have been talking a lot about anxiety and panic and Aubrey's conversation serves as a guiding tool to help us conquer those feelings of anxiety a lot of us have. Aubrey teaches us what exactly Ayahuasca is and how it can offer healing for past traumas, often achieving in a single session what would take years of therapy. Alternative modalities of healing can be scary, but Aubrey addresses the common fear of losing control while using psychedelics and how it can serve as a tool for ultimate liberation and a catalyst for personal growth. While sometimes the transformative psychedelic experiences may not always work, the possibilities are extraordinary and can allow you to truly live a fulfilling life.   Healers & Heal-Liners People think that because cannabis is legal and because it’s everybody’s first thing it’s the “easy” psychedelic and it’s not It has to be a conscious choice when using psychedelics because you don’t know what is going to happen Psilocybin is curing depression and anxiety at rates up to 80% from a single dose The Self-Serving Bias: You will look at information, read information, and see information in the way that serves you in the best way Whenever the ego changes or has to give up something, it’s a death To be of service first you have to be fit for service. You can’t pour out your cup of abundance unless your cup is full  Shift your priority from doing to being Learn More About Aubrey Marcus Aubrey Marcus’s Website: https://www.aubreymarcus.com/ Aubrey Marcus’s Instagram: ​​https://www.instagram.com/aubreymarcus/?hl=en The Aubrey Marcus Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/aubrey-marcus-podcast/id521945322 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/ Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy’s Page: Shop my Macy’s Wishlist OUAI: https://theouai.com/ use promo code: HEALSQUAD for 15% off Just Thrive: https://justthrivehealth.com and use promo code: HEALSQUAD for 20% off your first 90-day bottle of Just Calm and Just Thrive Probiotic Wonderful Pistachios: http://www.wonderfulpistachios.com/ 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.
