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

Hello Heal Squad! We have a very special episode for you today as we have ABC’s Chief National Correspondent Matt Gutman here with us and we are discussing the inspiration behind his memoir ‘No Time To Panic’ and his journey with anxiety and panic attacks. In this episode, we discover how Matt, driven by the expectation of perfection, found himself grappling with fear and feelings of failure. In a time when anxiety was seldom discussed, Matt shares his struggle of being attracted to chaos while silently battling anxiety. Unveiling the paradox of the courageous coward, Matt explores how anxiety became his unexpected superpower.  You don’t want to miss this candid conversation as we discuss the normality of panic and the profound realization that it is not a genetic flaw but an integral part of the human experience. Make sure to come back for part 2 where we learn about various strategies for dealing with anxiety and panic that may be outside of what we normally go to. Healers & Heal-Liners Sometimes the stakes are so low, but in our heads, we make it big Panic attacks are your brain assessing a threat 40% of all people who check themselves into the ER thinking they’re having a heart attack are actually having a panic attack 58% of people who go to the hospital thinking they’re having a heart attack are actually having a panic attack or experiencing some sort of anxiety that may be in addition to whatever cardiac issue is physically going on Anxiety is one of the greatest evolutionary tools for humans because we learn to be afraid sooner Your brain is wired for you to have 1000 false alarms Learn More About Matt Gutman Get Your Copy of No Time To Panic: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/709407/no-time-to-panic-by-matt-gutman/ Matt Gutman’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattgutmanabc/ 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.

On this Lonely Guy Friday edition of Regular Guy Friday, we discuss stepping into your light, the magic behind the three words 'at this time', the power in surrender and in simply asking yourself what makes you smile. Are you tired or just not experiencing joy? When you fight to make positive things happen or even fight to overcome negative issues, the effects are often counterintuitive. Surrender doesn't mean to quit, cold climates bring spring happiness and everything good or bad is just 'at this time.' Bye Betches.

Happy Throwback Thursday Heal Squad! For today’s throwback we have romance expert Dr. Pepper Schwartz here to help us bust common myths we often think are normal in relationships like being tied at the hip, being best friends with your partner, and so much more! Our relationships are much more complex now, than they were in previous generations, and it is important to adapt to those newfound complexities. We also discuss the strengths and weaknesses of dating and finding love in this modern era, the reality of being addicted to love, and looking at the ratio of happiness to unhappiness in your relationship.  Healers & Heal-Liners We are stronger together if we are stronger individually  Many men think their wife is their best friend, way fewer women think their husband is their best friend If it’s a Pomeranian, you can’t make it a Doberman  When someone says they are not into being committed or settling down, believe them!

Hey Heal Squad! Welcome back to part 2 of our interview with Human Connection Specialist, Mark Groves. As we continue to discuss the complex nature of relationships Mark shares fascinating dynamics of groupthink and cancel culture, shedding light on the fear of social exile that often influences our behavior. We discuss the dangers of dating for potential and how it can cause us to lose sight of our own growth and aspirations. Offering invaluable advice, Mark guides us through the navigation of dealbreakers in relationships and provides practical strategies for addressing issues head-on. Mark helps us understand the liberating truth that separation can sometimes be the best choice for a relationship.  Mark reminds us that the wisdom shared throughout his book ‘Liberated Love’ is applicable not only to romantic relationships but also to all other connections in our lives, and truly will be the catalyst to changing your life.  Healers & Heal-Liners The body experiences inflammation from self abandonment  You can have accountability without annihilation  If a relationship is not for them, it’s not for you When people date someone for potential, they give up their own In order to navigate any change we have to be well resourced Co-regulating is being in a state or rest and digest Learn More About Mark Groves: Pre-Order ‘Liberated Love’: https://read.macmillan.com/lp/liberated-love Mark Grove’s Websites: https://markgroves.com/ & https://createthelove.com/ Mark Groves’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/createthelove/ Mark Groves’s Youtube: www.youtube.com/@markgroves 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.

Happy Monday Heal Squad! Today we are welcoming back Human Connection Specialist, Mark Groves, and we are discussing the inspiration behind ‘Liberated Love’, the new book he co-authored with his wife, Kylie. In our conversation we explore the origins of codependency and how it manifests in our relationships. We also explore the connection between our childhood experiences and how they affect the way we navigate relationships in adulthood. Mark helps us gain a better understanding of attachment styles and their impact on our connections with others, interactions, emotional availability, and overall relationship satisfaction. Mark reminds us that we are born in relationships, we are wounded in relationships, we heal in relationships: We need relationships. Whether you seek to enhance your current relationship or aspire to cultivate healthier connections in the future, this episode is a must-listen. Make sure to come back tomorrow for part two of our conversation with Mark Groves where we discuss how our body reacts to abandonment, navigating dealbreakers in relationships, and the value of people pleasers.  Healers & Heal-Liners All relationships end because they failed to have very clear and accurate agreements at the beginning Context creates compassion Your trigger is a radar to recognize the pattern that led to pain.  The opposite of codependence isn’t overt individuation  Honoring liberated love means honoring each person's paths as their own Any subordinate group needs to learn the needs and nuances of a dominant group Learn More About Mark Groves: Pre-Order ‘Liberated Love’: https://read.macmillan.com/lp/liberated-love Mark Grove’s Websites: https://markgroves.com/ & https://createthelove.com/ Mark Groves Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/createthelove/   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.
