Happy Tuesday Heal Squad. It's a Heal Squad Tuesday Chat show featuring Maria and Keven where 'Tuesday is the new Thursday!' Speaking of Tuesdays...     Til Tuesday, Aimee Mann, the song 'Voices Carry' and how inner voices also carry!   Maria and Kev discuss the experience of seeing Ed Sheerin perform live at Sofi from a star-studded suite and the who's who.     Mom/daughter advice from Tiffany Amber Thiessen and New England talk with Adam Sandler, including Kev's somewhat embarrassing discussion with Adam on his most underrated movie.    The deeper meaning behind when you engage in one renovation after another and/or seem to experience endless home construction (as Maria and Kev have). It could be a means to distract, but it could mean something even more powerful.    Sometimes, it is not just about manifesting what you want to be; it is about manifesting what you no longer wish to be.   Maria breaks down Dr. Joe Dispenza's advice to create a new personality in order to create a new reality. https://youtu.be/rOYlOdDgYUU?si=58fteEWVw5xUV1Gh HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com Curated Macy’s Page: https://www.macys.com/healsquad Rosetta Stone: https://www.rosettastone.com/healsquad Noom: https://www.noom.com Just Thrive: https://justthrivehealth.com and use promo code: HEALSQUAD 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.
