What Athena has already said and sensed at just two years old will blow your mind! And then… Aliza drops her boldest predictions yet for 2026 and beyond. Are we nearing the end of social media as we know it? Could cancer cures once thought impossible actually arrive? And what’s really changing beneath the surface of it all?

Hey Heal Squad! Today’s episode takes you straight into the makeup chair on the set of Maria’s new project, where, surprisingly, the most honest and transformative conversations of the entire shoot happened. Between touch-ups and scene resets, Maria and her glam team opened up in a way that was raw, real, and completely unfiltered. They dove into motherhood, emotional overload, and the pressure so many women feel to shrink their feelings so they’re not labeled “too much.” What unfolded was a powerful reminder that vulnerability isn’t something to hide… it’s something to honor. Maria also brings in a moving clip from Tori Deal, who shares how coming off antidepressants helped her reconnect to her emotional depth and reclaim vulnerability as a source of strength, not shame. If you’re feeling big emotions this time of year, this episode is your reminder that you’re not alone,  and that your emotional depth may actually be one of your greatest superpowers. Enjoy!

Happy Pot Luck Saturday, Heal Squad. We’re setting up the weekend, and maybe the year, with one simple question: If not now, when? This is a reflective Pot Luck Saturday with Kev about joy, timing, and all the moments we keep postponing for “later.” How so many of us look back and realize we were more stressed than we needed to be… and how the life we’re waiting to enjoy is usually the one right in front of us. Kev talks about giving too much away, taking things too seriously, chasing the next milestone, and forgetting to ask what actually brings us joy. Just a reminder that now counts. And if you’re not going to live your life now… when exactly is that supposed to happen? Talk shawtly!

Happy Boxing Day, Heal Squad. It’s a festive Lonely Guy Friday, coming to you from the quiet stretch after Christmas, when the wrapping paper’s gone, the expectations ease up, and reality sneaks back in. Kev reflects on why Christmas feels like it flies by, why we build so much pressure around one perfect day, and why maybe the spirit of the holiday matters more than the sermon about what it shouldn’t be. A look at generosity versus shame, giving versus guilt, and why kindness and being seen might be the point after all. A reminder that you don’t have to fix everything, carry everyone, or solve decades of dysfunction during the holidays. Sometimes the most generous thing you can do is protect your energy, keep your heart open, and let people walk their own path. Happy Boxing Day, wherever you are and however you’re spending it. Bye Betches. -- 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/maria  Thrive Causemetics: https://thrivecausemetics.com/healsquad Get 20% OFF with this link!  Briotech: https://shopbriotech.com/ Use Code: HEALSQUAD for 20% 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 Christmas, Heal Squad! With 2026 just being a week away, we’re revisiting one of our most practical and empowering conversations to help you reset your health the right way. This throwback episode originally kicked off 2025 with a fresh approach to fitness and nutrition, and the lessons are even more relevant now. Maria sits down with fitness coach, nutritionist, and chef Christina Gomez to break down how women should actually be training and fueling their bodies as hormones change. From why high-intensity workouts may be working against you, to how strength training, isometrics, and cortisol-friendly movement can support metabolism, energy, and longevity, this episode reframes everything we’ve been taught about fitness. If your 2026 goals include feeling stronger, less stressed, more balanced, and more in tune with your body (not burned out by it), this throwback is the perfect way to reset, refocus, and build habits that actually last. 💛 -- 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/maria  Thrive Causemetics: https://thrivecausemetics.com/healsquad Get 20% OFF with this link!  Briotech: https://shopbriotech.com/ Use Code: HEALSQUAD for 20% off  GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/crunchystinaa/  Listen to Part 2: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/1014-whats-hiding-in-our-sushi-how-to-meal-prep-like/id1320060107?i=1000684991929  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! For Christmas week, we’re throwing it back to two of our favorite conversations from the year, and this one with Hannah Brown felt especially worth revisiting as we reflect, reset, and prepare for what’s next. In this throwback, Hannah shares the parts of her journey that happened far beyond the spotlight. She opens up about navigating PCOS, chronic inflammation, hormonal challenges, and the emotional toll of living in constant pressure and survival mode. From being dismissed by doctors to feeling disconnected from her body, Hannah walks us through the moment her body finally demanded deeper attention, PLUS how healing began when she stopped pushing and started listening. As the year winds down, let this episode be a grounding reminder that real change often starts quietly… with awareness, compassion, and the willingness to release old patterns before stepping into the next chapter.
