Hey Heal Squad, in this empowering episode, we dive deep into the realms of balance and soul nourishment with Touré Roberts, author of the insightful book on finding equilibrium in life. Join us as we unravel the essence of balance, self-awareness, and the transformative power of stillness. Albert Einstein once said, "Life is like riding a bicycle; to keep your balance, you must keep moving," and our conversation delves into the profound meaning behind this quote. Shutting Out the Noise and Fear-Based Decisions: Touré Roberts shares strategies for finding balance by shutting out external noise and making decisions rooted in courage rather than fear. Soul Awareness vs. Self-Awareness: Explore the nuanced difference between being self-aware and achieving soul awareness, highlighting the importance of tapping into the still small voice within. The Significance of Stillness and Taking Breaks: Reflect on the podcast host's personal experiences, emphasizing the value of meditation, breaks, and creating blank spaces for personal growth and creativity. Overcoming Fear for True Balance: Addressing the impact of fear on achieving genuine balance, the episode explores the role of fear in decision-making and how overcoming it can lead to exponential success. Self-Love and Recognizing Abundance: Delve into the practices of self-love, including revisiting one's younger self and embracing moments of alone time. The conversation unfolds the concept of prime real estate in the mind, urging listeners to be mindful of what occupies their mental space. This episode serves as a guide for the Heal Squad community, encouraging each member to embrace stillness, prioritize self-love, and redefine balance in their unique journey. Tune in for an enriching conversation that will inspire you to nourish your soul and enhance your overall well-being.

This Christmas Week Wednesday Chat features Maria and Keven at it again. Taking down Christmas decorations: does it end the celebration too early OR help you start the new year right? How less is more when it comes to organization.

Why Christmas Eve Eve Eve and Christmas Eve Eve need to be fused into Americana as Christmas, post pandemic may be the only time to see friends each year. Party games can connect strangers and allow the child in you to come back out. Sometimes even the smallest, most inconsequential wins can ignite change. Focus less on the messenger, and more on the message. Your partners aren't there to fill ALL your needs, they only need to fill the right needs.

It's a Regular Guy Christmas Friday on this Christmas Eve Eve Eve (Christmas Squared/Cubed). Natasha and Kev cover some lessons to wind down the year. How the antidote to addiction, depression, fatigue, and life may very well be in asking what it is you love. How you never feel ready and how if you wait till you're ready, you're living by contingency. And how waiting till you are ready doesn't work. It makes you smaller than you really are - and keeps you small. How the minute you commit, even though you don't feel ready, providence moves along with you and all kinds of unseen forces will come to your aid. How if you can see it from here, it's going to be too small for you. How if you can only imagine it from here (AND keep the faith) you can grow into it. What's your one word to inspire change for the upcoming year? How can you stay young? Will Kelsey deliver a Potluck Saturday Christmas Eve Eve show? Bye Betches!

Happy Christmas Wednesday, Heal Squad! When duty, tasks and guilt cause you to forget what it is that you love to do. How you need to ask yourself what it is that you love to do to be reminded.
