389. Create Your New Year Life Plan: Step 2 - Make Your Dreams a Reality

Today’s discussion includes topics of a sexual nature. If this content isn’t suitable for you or if you’re listening in a shared space, please take caution and care while listening.  Hey, Heal Squad! Today’s episode is about to get educationally hot and steamy. We’re thrilled to welcome back Dr. Laura Berman, a New York Times best-selling author, podcast host, and relationship expert who’s spent 30 years helping people master love, intimacy, and connection—mind, body, and soul. And trust us, Maria is going there with all the juicy questions on sex, love, and relationships! Dr. Laura’s new book Sex Magic reveals so much more too, but here she’s telling us how to use sexual energy to manifest your dream life (yes, really!), why porn and social media (aka a high school reunion on steroids) may be hurting your love life, and the shocking reason serial cheaters keep cheating. Hint, Hint: it’s not about sex! Plus the big debate: Is monogamy still realistic? Dr. Laura’s take may surprise you. If you’re looking for real, no-BS relationship advice, this episode is an absolute must-listen! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS:  Sex & Manifestation - Manifesting during sex works because it’s an intense energetic exchange that can be harnessed to create desired emotional states. Infidelity & Social Media  –Infidelity is often driven more by emotional disconnection, validation, and opportunity rather than just physical attraction. Social media has amplified temptation by making past connections more accessible. Passion Fades, But Connection Can Evolve – Long-term relationships transition from intense passion to deeper attachment. Many people seek external excitement (like porn or affairs) when they don’t nurture intimacy within their relationship.

Maria’s back from Greece and this solo episode is packed with updates, reflections, and one seriously divine moment. 🇬🇷 From speaking on stage for John Hancock’s health-forward initiative to being named the Greek Hellenic Olympic Committee Ambassador for the 2028 Olympics to immersing Athena in Greek language lessons (and yes, she may already be a pro), this trip was equal parts purpose and play. But things got deeply spiritual too—especially during Maria’s return to the island of Aegina, where she once again visited the tomb of St Nectarios. What happened there? Let’s just say… she heard the knock AGAIN! Maria also gets into how faith can reframe health challenges and the BIG Heal Squad announcement we’ve been waiting for… Hit play for a catch-up, major inspiration, and a sneak peek at what’s coming next!

Hey, Heal Squad! In this Heal in 10, Judy Wilkins-Smith breaks down how your money patterns (scarcity, over-saving, guilt around spending) often aren’t yours at all. They’re inherited emotional blueprints, passed down through generations of family loyalty and survival mindset. Judy explains how to identify the moment a family belief took hold, how to rewrite it with conscious intention, and why spending, saving, and sharing from a place of joy allows money to flow—and grow! If you’ve ever struggled with money guilt or felt disconnected from abundance, this is your sign to break the cycle and 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 Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi   code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  JUDY WILKINS-SMITH RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/judywilkinssmith/  Website: https://judywilkins-smith.com/  Book: https://www.amazon.com/Hidden-Power-Your-DNA-Genealogy/dp/B0D3414MVL   Check out her upcoming event: https://judywilkins-smith.com/events/breakthrough-dna/  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.

This week we explore the balance between leading with love vs anger, inspired by Miyagi-Do, Cobra Kai, and the wisdom to use both. We talk the duality within all of us—the part that leads with love and light, and the part that’s ready to fight when needed. It's not about choosing one, but learning how to integrate both.We also talk about the power of dreams—what they’re trying to show us, and how they often hold deeper truths about our past, our present, and our path forward. Our desire to be seen, the desire to help others rise, and the journey to stop over giving and start honoring your energy. And finally,  we talk all things: Letting Go. Based on the work of Dr. David Hawkins, we talk the ten steps to help release old stories and emotions that no longer serve us. It's not about doing more—it’s about feeling more, and releasing what’s been weighing you down. Remember: Real strength is quiet. Real healing is subtle. And just like the Winter Warlock, sometimes all it takes is one foot in front of the other. Have a great week, Heal Squad. -- 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 Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi   code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.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.

It’s a solo Kels episode this week and we’re comin’ to you live from the bathroom mirror ✨because we’re multitasking, getting glam for a Grammy Legends event, and sharing all the wellness wins from the week.

Also in the lineup: Baby botox hot takes, Max update, and a gentle reminder that confidence is a muscle—and posting is practice.

Yep, we fooled them again! It’s Regular Guy Friday. This week we reflect on breaking the hustle cycle, shifting from resentment to presence, and how leading with love (instead of Diet Coke) can actually change your life. We get into emotional energy levels—why shame keeps you stuck, anger gets you moving, and courage is where things finally start to lift. We talk all things ancestral patterns, limiting beliefs about hard work, and the surprising power of slowing down. Also: why blasting music through a demo job might be out, and inner peace might be in. And yes, even during a Reiki session, the most unexpected spiritual guest can show up—and he really wants to be on the team. RGF Bonus: A quick dream breakdown, emotional baseballs, and how renovating a house might just be a metaphor for renovating your life.

Hey Heal Squad! In Part 2 of our incredible conversation with Judy Wilkins-Smith, we go even deeper into how your subconscious mind, inherited beliefs, and emotional DNA may be running your life—until you choose to rewrite them. Judy introduces us to the real power of Genealogy 3.0, and how your family’s past (and even major world events!) still impact the way you think, feel, and respond today. She shares tools to help you identify the emotional blocks that aren’t even yours, and how to replace them with clear, emotionally charged visions of what you actually want. From rewiring generational scarcity, to navigating parenting patterns, to building new beliefs through visualization, this will help you stop living someone else’s story, and finally create your own. Whether you're feeling stuck, weighed down by inherited fear, or simply ready to level up, you’re gonna wanna hear this one. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS:  Genealogy 3.0 goes deeper than DNA tests. Knowing where you come from is powerful, but understanding how world events shaped your family’s beliefs, behaviors, and emotional patterns is what transforms your life today. Patterns that want to stop get loud. When you feel resistance, tension, or overwhelm—it’s often a sign an old pattern is trying to break. Listening to it can reveal the new, aligned version of you that’s waiting to emerge. You inherit wisdom, not just wounds. Don’t just look at what’s gone wrong, consciously choose the traits you want to carry forward. Kindness, resilience, and joy are just as real in your lineage as trauma and fear. -- 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 Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi   code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off JUDY WILKINS-SMITH RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/judywilkinssmith/  Website: https://judywilkins-smith.com/  Book: https://www.amazon.com/Hidden-Power-Your-DNA-Genealogy/dp/B0D3414MVL  Check out her upcoming event: https://judywilkins-smith.com/events/breakthrough-dna/  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.
