Happy Wednesday Heal Squad! Welcome back to part 2 of my conversation with Kamie Crawford, the co-host of MTV's Catfish. In today’s episode, Kamie opens up about the gut issues and chronic illnesses she has dealt with in the past and the eye-opening realization she has after her long-term use of birth control, changing her perspective on taking control of your health. Beyond the medical side, Kamie gets vulnerable about the emotional impact of these challenges, from the fear of being featured in Sports Illustrated to the difficulty of saying 'no' to opportunities when her body was under so much stress, and her plans to freeze her eggs. Through it all, Kamie's resilience and authenticity shine through, offering us an empowering lesson in listening to your body, advocating for your well-being, and not being afraid to prioritize your health, even when it goes against societal expectations.  Healers and Heal-Liners When your stomach is in a bad place, it puts your brain in a bad space.

Happy Tuesday Heal Squad! For today’s episode, we sit down with Kamie Crawford and talk about her incredible journey to success as a media personality. Kamie shares how saying 'yes' to opportunities, even when it was outside her comfort zone, was the key to her rise. From hosting red carpets at the beginning stages of her career to now cohosting Catfish, Kamie's story is all about persistence and an unwavering commitment to her craft. She opens up about the internal struggles she faced, even at 25 without a steady job, and how she learned on the go, creating her own content to showcase her skills. Kamie also shares how that 'grind culture' mentality instilled by her parents fueled her ambition to go for anything she wanted in life. The key lesson? Don't hold yourself back and never be afraid to take risks, because it may just be the thing to change your life completely. Healers and Heal-Liners You’re always auditioning for your next opportunity. If it doesn’t scare you even a little bit, then it’s not meant for you.  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 Wonderful Pistachios: http://www.wonderfulpistachios.com/   Learn More About Kamie Crawford: Kamie Crawford’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kamiecrawford/?hl=en Kamie Crawford’s Website: https://www.kamiecrawford.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.

Happy Monday Heal Squad! For today’s All-Star episode, we've got an exceptional lineup - Tammy Valicenti, Peter Facinelli, and Aubrey Marcus are all here to share their wisdom. First, Tammy's going to dive into the profound effects of EMDR, revealing how the combination of breath, movement, and this powerful technique can spark transformative shifts in mental and emotional well-being. It's a holistic approach to healing trauma. Next, Peter Facinelli will unpack the significance of mindfulness and daily practices for maintaining mental health. He'll open up about the personal rituals that help him stay balanced and centered, demonstrating the life-changing power of mindfulness. Finally, our guide in spiritual awakening, Aubrey Marcus, will share accessible first steps for those curious about exploring the spiritual realm - from sensory deprivation tanks to shamanic breathing and ecstatic dance. Get ready for an episode filled with insights, lessons, and transformative moments from this incredible trio. Healers and Heal-liners: Tammy Valicenti In the dance between the mind and the body, profound healing happens. EMDR is not just a psychological intervention; it's a holistic, mind-body intervention. Our bodies have incredible wisdom. They store everything, and they also have the ability to heal everything. Healers and Heal-liners: Peter Facinelli Mindfulness is not just a practice; it's a way of living, a way of being. Rituals ground us in the present moment, connecting mind, body, and spirit. In the quiet moments of mindfulness, we discover the true depth of our inner selves. Healers and Heal-liners: Aubrey Marcus The balance in life is found by also touching the extremes. These practices are like a win-win-win. There's nothing to lose; it's only your own apprehension and resistance that you have to push through. True balance comes from experiencing the edges and finding equilibrium.

It's a melancholy Lonely Guy Friday as one of Maria and Keven's dearest and oldest friends passes on. Randal Malone was raised by old Hollywood, playing backgammon with Lucy and celebrating each of his birthdays with Bob Hope. He was an amazing friend and mentor to Keven and Maria with legendary quotes often repeated on RGF. In addition to honoring him, what to do when a friend is terminally ill. When are you interfering and when are you intervening? In 100 years someone else will own your house. You don't know your great-grandfather. Randal always said 'This is all on loan and merely for our own amusement.' A short and stumbling Lonely Guy Friday but Kev is really out of sorts and asks for your understanding.  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 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.

Happy Throwback Thursday Heal Squad! Today we are bringing back our conversation with Dr. Shefali Tsabary, a clinical psychologist who draws from both Western psychology and Eastern philosophy, offering her clients a unique, holistic approach. Dr. Shefali sits to discuss her new book, "A Radical Awakening: Turn Your Pain into Power, Embrace Your Truth and Live Free" In our conversation, we explore breaking free from societal expectations and boundaries - particularly the obstacles that often hold women back from becoming their most authentic selves. This is a deep dive into how we can learn to live freely and for ourselves, rather than for anyone else. Healers and Heal-Liners The reason why religion and capitalism work so well together is that religion is 'thou shall suffer’ and capitalism is ‘oh you’re suffering, here I have the drug’.  Capitalism preys on the parenting industrial complex.  Unworthiness is the prediction of the economic system. Just because we can, doesn’t mean we must.

Happy Wednesday Heal Squad! Today we come to you from Macy's Herald Square in NYC, where I sit with a longtime friend Evy Poumpouras and we discuss her powerful journey to motherhood IVF and some amazing summer finds, which lucky for you we know where to find them all (Macy’s, of course).  Evy gets candid about her many failed attempts, the emotional ups and downs of waiting rooms, and the incredible resilience she displayed over 18 cycles. She shares the unique challenges of starting a family later in life and passionately advocates for women to freeze their eggs earlier. Through her near-death experience, after enduring a grueling 26-hour labor, Evy discovered a profound shift in her outlook, learning to see adversity as a path to transformation rather than victimhood. With vulnerability and hard-earned wisdom, she shares the steps she took to ultimately become a mother and the invaluable lessons she's gained about the difference between endurance and resilience. This is a must-listen for anyone navigating the complex emotions and experiences of family planning. Healers and Heal Liners When life comes at you, you can be a victim or you can rise. You can choose to look at your tragedies as either a blessing or a curse. Gratitude is the ultimate state of receivership. When you live in gratitude it's a nonstop flow to you of whatever you want.  Look at your life like a movie, and pick how you want to tell that story.

Hey Heal Squad, welcome to this special Heal Squad All Stars edition, where we delve deep into the art of self-healing with insights from three extraordinary guests: Maria Menounos, Nicole Sachs, and Anita Moorjani. Maria candidly discusses her journey of overcoming multiple diagnoses, offering invaluable lessons on resilience. Nicole introduces her transformative journaling practice, a powerful tool for confronting and processing emotions to heal chronic pain. And cancer survivor Anita highlights the pivotal role of self-love in preventing and healing both physical and emotional ailments. Join us as we explore their stories, wisdom, and practices, reminding us of the profound strength within us all. Healers and Heal-liners: Maria Menounos Adversity can either break you or it can make you stronger. I chose to let it make me stronger. Self-care isn't selfish; it's essential for your well-being and ability to thrive. Our bodies have an incredible capacity to heal when we nurture them with love and compassion. Healers and Heal-liners: Nicole Sachs Journaling isn't just about writing down your thoughts; it's about unearthing your inner truths and finding healing within. Vulnerability isn't a weakness; it's a courageous step towards authenticity and wholeness. Mindfulness is the key to unlocking the present moment, where true healing and transformation reside. Healers and Heal-liners: Anita Moorjani Self-love is the greatest healer; it's the foundation upon which all healing begins. Fearlessness isn't the absence of fear; it's the courage to embrace life fully, despite fear's presence. Your intuition is your inner compass; trust it to lead you toward your highest truth and deepest healing.
