199. Why Yoga Is Your Easy Answer To Anxiety, Body Shame, and Unfulfillment w/ Jessamyn Stanley

Hey Heal Squad! We’re back with Part 2 of our powerful conversation with Dr. Tiffany Moon, anesthesiologist, author of Joy Prescriptions, and former Real Housewives of Dallas star. Tiffany opens up about the harsh realities of burnout, mom guilt, and the impossible balancing act women face in careers that don’t support family life. She shares what it was really like to return to work just six weeks after giving birth to twins, the toll that lifestyle took on her mental and physical health, and how she eventually found her way back to joy. Tiffany also gives us practical tools for protecting our peace, from doing a “friend audit” to stop energy drains, to breaking free from the toxic game of comparison on social media. PLUS, she takes us behind the scenes of her time on Real Housewives, what she learned from that experience, and the life-changing safety tips everyone should know before going under anesthesia!  HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Comparison steals joy. Tiffany reminds us that social media often fuels the “compare and despair” cycle, but constantly measuring yourself against curated highlight reels only robs you of peace. Instead, she encourages focusing on your own progress and defining success on your terms. Do a friend audit. Not everyone deserves access to your energy. Tiffany shares how evaluating who truly uplifts you (and who drains you) can be life-changing,  sometimes the healthiest step is to shrink your circle and invest in relationships that give back. Know your anesthesia risks. Surgery isn’t the time to stay quiet. Tiffany emphasizes asking about medication interactions, family history, and monitoring protocols, because informed patients are safer patients. A few questions could literally save your life.

Hey Heal Squad! Today we’re joined by Dr. Tiffany Moon, board-certified anesthesiologist, author, entrepreneur, mom of twins, and yes, you may also know her from Bravo’s Real Housewives of Dallas. But behind the scenes, Tiffany has faced her own battles with infertility, PCOS, miscarriage, and the heavy weight of perfectionism. She shares what it was like to navigate the medical system as both a doctor and a patient, and the shame and isolation of infertility, the toll of hormone struggles, and how childhood trauma shaped her drive for control and perfection. Most importantly, Tiffany shares how she began to heal, giving us everything in her toolkit like therapy, coaching, and what she calls “joy prescriptions.”  If you’ve ever battled health challenges, perfectionism, or the weight of unrealistic expectations, this episode will remind you that joy isn’t something you wait for, it’s something you create from within!  HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Perfectionism steals your joy. Tiffany’s childhood trauma fueled her need for control, but real healing began when she stopped chasing perfect and started embracing imperfect progress. Joy is a prescription. Tiffany now writes herself “joy prescriptions”, intentional doses of laughter, fun, and lightness, as medicine just as important as any pill. Redefine success from within. True happiness isn’t about external achievements or titles; it’s about rewriting your own story and finding peace in who you are. -- 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/  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tiffanymoonmd/  Website: https://www.tiffanymoonmd.com/  Book: https://www.joyprescriptions.com/  LeadHer Summit: https://www.leadhersummit.com/ Use code: HEALSQUAD for $300 off 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! This week’s chatshow is all about why joy and laughter aren’t just nice-to-haves, they’re essential healing tools, especially when life feels heavy. Maria shares behind-the-scenes stories from her whirlwind weekend, from pulling together a last-minute party to catching a comedy show that reminded her how powerful laughter really is for the soul. Along the way, she reflects on the importance of making space for fun, play, and connection, not in spite of life’s challenges, but because of them. PLUS, you’ll hear the hilarious (and surprisingly moving) story of how Maria ended up saving a frog’s life, why slowing down helped her find clarity, and how to start infusing more moments of joy into your own days, no matter what you’re going through. This episode is a reminder that joy isn’t optional, it’s medicine. -- 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/  Join the In-Person Heal 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! In this Heal in 10, Dr Joe Dispenza joins us to unpack how our thoughts and emotions impact the body, and why fear and stress can literally make us sick. He explains how the stress response, when turned on too often by thought alone, knocks the brain and body out of balance and creates disease. But here’s the empowering part: if thoughts can make you sick, they can also make you well! He shares why anxiety often dissolves in just days of doing this work, how to catch yourself going unconscious, and why the present moment is where healing truly begins. PLUS, Maria also opens up about her own struggles with fear and anxiety, and how learning to break the cycle helped her body find stability again. This is packed with wisdom you can use right now to shift out of survival mode and step into healing.

Happy Friday, Regular Guys and Gals! Hey Regular Guys and Gals, we did it again. We made it through another week! How trying to help can actually sabotage healing, and why presence, not fixing, is the real gift. How “helping energy” can be rooted in ego and disempower those we care about. When to lean in, when to back off, and how to spot the difference. How seeing people (really seeing them) changes everything, whether it’s a friend in crisis or a waitress with perfect Diet Coke timing. How your victim story gets you attention....and entitlement and not in a good way.  How nostalgia (and a few good carney memories) can spark gratitude and grit. How “The Magic” works when you work it. And why gratitude isn’t just a tool — it’s a way to rewire everything. RGF Bonus: The dream of “Victim Con” is born, Alice Cooper’s unlikely spiritual side, Starbucks union organizing (courtesy of Evan), and what really happens when Kev almost entered the cube farm to be the temp from hell. Bye Betches.

Hey Heal Squad! Today’s throwback episode is all about finding your voice, protecting your energy, and staying passionate about the work you do. Maria opens up about how her meditation practice has evolved over the years and why it’s been the foundation for her growth and clarity. She shares her go-to morning routines, the small habits that keep her grounded, and how she’s learned to stay flexible when life (and travel) shifts things around. We also dive into the big questions like how do you keep passion alive in your work? How do you know when it’s time to walk away from a toxic environment? And what does happiness really mean once you’ve outgrown the old definitions of success? Maria also reflects on the importance of setting boundaries with “takers,” building confidence by speaking up, and choosing peace over pressure. It’s a mix of practical wisdom, personal stories, and the healing tools that can help you create a life and career you actually love!  -- 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/  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.

Happy Wednesday, Heal Squad! Today’s episode looks a little different, as we dive into a chatshow with Maria that is a mix of fun, reflection, and some powerful lessons she’s  picked up this summer! Maria takes us behind the scenes of her jam-packed post-summer adventures, from a whirlwind Hamptons trip that was booked and busy (of course she still stuck to her healing routines), to dream concerts with Metallica and Gwen Stefani. Spoiler: she head-banged so hard at Metallica she had to work on healing her head and neck afterwards! She reflects on how these moments remind us about balance, slowing down, and the importance of listening to your body. She also opens up about raising Athena, not just as a mom, but as a guide in helping her become the CEO of her own health. From setting little routines to supporting Athena’s love of learning (she’s already picking up three languages and soon a fourth!), Maria shares how these lessons inspire her own healing journey too. PLUS, she reflects on how Dr Joe Dispenza’s wisdom continues to shape her breakthroughs in clarity, habits, and emotional health. This one’s packed with inspiration, laughs, and real-life lessons to help you find your own breakthroughs as we move into a new season.

Hey, Heal Squad! We’re back with the one and only Dr Joe Dispenza for Part 2 of our powerful conversation! Dr Joe shares with Maria how love resets trauma in the brain, why the heart is the true gateway to healing, and how mastering our emotions allows us to finally create the life we want. He also gives his meditation prescription to those who are starting their journey (and tips on how to get started). Maria also opens up about her own practice of asking, “What would love do?” in moments of anger and hurt, and how that single shift dissolved pain and changed everything. Together, they dive deep into what it really means to choose love over fear, and why consistency and self-accountability are the ultimate formula for transformation. PLUS, Dr Joe shares some of the most shocking healing testimonials you’ll ever hear, you’ll just have to tune in to find out! This will leave you in tears, in awe, and with a whole new sense of what’s possible! Tune in!  HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS: Love resets the brain. When energy moves into the heart, it sends a signal to the brain that the past is over, dissolving trauma and opening the door to healing. This shift lets you look back without pain and step forward with freedom. Healing requires consistency. The people who transform don’t miss a day; they show up for themselves until they believe in their future more than their past. It’s the daily commitment that turns possibility into reality. Forgiveness is freedom. True forgiveness isn’t about forcing it, it’s what naturally happens when you release the emotion and open your heart. When you stop carrying the charge of the past, you’re finally free to create something new. -- 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/  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjoedispenza  Website: https://drjoedispenza.com/  Attend Dr Joe’s Upcoming Week Long Retreat on September 14-20: https://drjoedispenza.com/product-details/Nashville%20Week%20Long%20Advanced%20Retreat%20September%202025  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.
