1046. Avoiding Recovery Relapse & Why Forgiveness is The KEY w/ Dr. Fred Luskin

Hey, Heal Squad! Thinking about having a baby, or already in the thick of it? You’re going to want to hear this one. This week, Maria sits down with Heather Rae El Moussa (yes, you may know her from Selling Sunset!) for a powerful conversation about IVF, motherhood, and everything that comes after. Heather takes us back to her journey through fertility treatments, sharing the emotional, physical, and spiritual lessons she’s learned along the way. She and Maria get real about the silent struggles so many women face, from the tough decisions around frozen embryos to navigating postpartum health challenges. PLUS, she opens up about her Hashimoto’s diagnosis after pregnancy and the natural steps she’s taking to heal, from embracing a vegan diet to switching to non-toxic living and learning to slow down. Together, they talk about balancing motherhood, work, and wellness, how their partners’ health journeys have shaped their own, and why therapy and honest communication have been game changers in keeping their relationships strong. Don’t miss this one! HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  The hardest part of IVF comes after. Heather and Maria open up about the emotional weight of deciding what to do with frozen embryos, a choice that many couples face but few ever talk about out loud. Healing starts with simplifying. From eating plant-based to switching to non-toxic products, Heather’s journey reminds us that small, consistent lifestyle shifts can have a massive impact on how we feel day to day. Strong relationships are built through honesty. Maria and Heather both share how therapy and open communication have helped them navigate their partners’ health challenges, proving that real love requires vulnerability, not perfection. -- 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/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy’s Page: Shop My Macy’s Storefront EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Briotech: https://shopbriotech.com/ Use Code: HEALSQUAD for 20% off  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theheatherraeelmoussa/?hl=en  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@heatherraeelmoussa  Heather Rae Beauty: https://www.instagram.com/heatherraeessentials/?hl=en  Website: https://heatherraeessentials.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.

Hey, Heal Squad! This week, Maria is taking us inside her personal evolution, sharing how her wellness journey has shifted, softened, and simplified over time. After her latest healing journey, struggling with vertigo, Maria shares the exact acupressure points that brought her instant relief (yes, she even demos them!) The surprising lessons this experience taught her about slowing down and trusting her body. She also opens up about life in Connecticut (the dream she and Kev always hoped for) and how emotional it feels to watch Athena running through the fields with her dad. Through it all, Maria reflects on loosening her grip on perfection, easing up on the “health hustle,” and learning to trust the process instead of controlling it. This is your reminder that growth is an evolution, and that honoring where you are right now is part of the healing journey!  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/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy’s Page: Shop My Macy’s Storefront EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Briotech: https://shopbriotech.com/ Use Code: HEALSQUAD for 20% off  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist 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.

Hey, Heal Squad! We’re back for another Sunday Setup, Kev and Anne dive deep into one of the most powerful mindset shifts yet: Don’t motivate yourself along the same lines as your trauma patterns. Kev breaks down how so many of us build our success on overworking, people-pleasing, or proving our worth, and why that keeps us stuck in survival mode. He shares how shifting from control to curiosity, and from pressure to peace, can completely change the way you create, love, and live. They explore what it means to build a “new grid” for your life, one powered by joy, service, and presence instead of anxiety and burnout. PLUS, we get real about the struggle to actually relax and what happens when you finally learn to. -- 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/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy’s Page: Shop My Macy’s Storefront EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Briotech: https://shopbriotech.com/ Use Code: HEALSQUAD for 20% off  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist 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.

Hey, Heal Squad! This week on Regular Guy Friday, Kev sits down with a special guest, Dr. Kim D’Eramo, to talk about something most of us never learned… how to actually let go and let your body do the healing for once. Dr. Kim shares her story of being diagnosed with a lifelong autoimmune disease, told she’d never run again... and then healing herself by shifting out of “fight mode” and into her feminine energy. (Yes, even the guys can learn from this one.) They break down what it really means to stop pushing, stop “fixing,” and start allowing,  how that shift alone can calm your nervous system, ease symptoms, and restore balance in your body. Kev opens up about watching the women in his life (Maria included!) constantly give, grind, and guilt themselves into exhaustion, and how the “power of soft” might just be the real secret to strength. Find out what that means in today’s episode and tune in!!  -- 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/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy’s Page: Shop My Macy’s Storefront EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Briotech: https://shopbriotech.com/ Use Code: HEALSQUAD for 20% off  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drkimderamo/?hl=en  Alive Women Retreat: https://drkimd.com/retreat/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAacz-eRI-qZGbtT4m2b1zIEcOG3l_uSrL_a3rh6jRsuehNzXJFVzig99J6ndxw_aem_KLp7I509z7WkE1J4JlyYGA  Alive Women Online: https://drkimd.com/alive-woman-online-2025/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAadb8CTg-VikTbEyF72FVHHuuzCVkKy6GIPT6IMRr6prTLucrLERx7AzP0D9Cw_aem_fSoY8J0XN1te4780NA--WQ  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.

Hey, Heal Squad! In today’s episode, Maria shares how one simple morning habit completely shifted her mindset, helping her stop self-criticism, embrace compassion, and feel ready for anything life throws her way. Inspired by Mel Robbins’ High Five Habit and teachings from Esther Hicks, Maria opens up about the power of starting your day with self-love, forgiveness, and intention. From turning mistakes into moments of growth (yes, even crunching her car!) learning that no one is coming to rescue you, she reminds us that you are your own hero. We dive into the truth about mental “lint” and how old beliefs, guilt, and fear can clog your confidence, PLUS how to clear them through daily rituals that build resilience and joy. If you’re ready to stop waiting, start healing, and finally take your power back, this is your sign! -- 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/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy’s Page: Shop My Macy’s Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Briotech: https://shopbriotech.com/ Use Code: HEALSQUAD for 20% off  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist EPISODE RESOURCES:  Get ‘The High 5 Habit’ Book: https://go.shopmy.us/p-27889130  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.

Hey, Heal Squad! We’re back with Part 2 of our conversation with Mayci Neeley, star of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives! Mayci opens up about navigating the emotional rollercoaster of IVF, motherhood, and healing after trauma, and what it really takes to find balance through it all. She shares how she’s learned to protect her peace, release control, and lean into faith when life doesn’t go as planned (all while filming a reality TV show)! They talk about setting boundaries, staying grounded in chaos, and the daily practices that help her return to joy. PLUS, they dive into the importance of slowing down, listening to your body, and creating boundaries that protect your mental and spiritual health (even when life feels overwhelming). You’re never too far from peace, and balance is something you can build, even in the hardest seasons!  HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Healing is about doing hard things anyway. Mayci shares how her IVF journey taught her that strength isn’t about having it all together, it’s about walking through discomfort, uncertainty, and fear, and realizing you can survive more than you thought you could. Joy can be a form of medicine. Even after loss and trauma, Mayci chooses laughter, connection, and lightness. She reminds us that healing doesn’t mean ignoring pain, it means letting joy have a seat at the table too. Friendship is a safe haven for healing. Through her bond with Michaela, Mayci shows how honest, supportive relationships can help us process pain without getting lost in it, and that sometimes healing starts simply by being seen.

Hey, Heal Squad! This week, Maria sits down with Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Mayci Neeley for a conversation about healing after abuse, loss, and trauma in relationships. Mayci opens up about the moments that broke her, the strength it took to leave an abusive marriage, and how she rebuilt her life from the ground up. She shares the tools that helped her heal… from self-forgiveness and faith to therapy, journaling, and learning to feel safe in her body again. Together, Maria and Mayci explore how emotional pain shows up physically, what it really means to live in survival mode, and how it is possible to move from fear to freedom. This is a powerful reminder that healing isn’t about erasing your past, it’s about reclaiming your story, your power, and your peace. Whether you’re navigating heartbreak, trauma, or learning to trust yourself again, here are the tools to guide your journey forward! HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Healing starts with self-forgiveness. Mayci shares how true freedom began when she stopped punishing herself for her past and started forgiving herself daily. Your body remembers what your mind avoids. She explains how unprocessed emotions can manifest physically, and why feeling safe again starts with body awareness. Boundaries are a form of self-love. Letting go of people and environments that trigger pain is how Mayci began reclaiming her peace. -- 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/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy’s Page: Shop My Macy’s Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Briotech: https://shopbriotech.com/ Use Code: HEALSQUAD for 20% off  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/maycineeley/?hl=en TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@maycineeley?lang=en  Website: https://www.babymama.co/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAadMLEGyWSSa8MHuZ3ReBzp5JobmY_FzvnLnjTy1uOFyd92jsysBdUWPD8wfdQ_aem_m-FZXZnolP7S1knN-YMjvw  Book: https://go.shopmy.us/p-27154940  Podcast: https://www.instagram.com/sinnersundayconfessional/?hl=en  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.
