Why you should have empathy for others' shortcomings  The serious ramifications when people don't see you  Who deserves your truth Why traumas and triggers can be useful Why you need to know your 'why' and also your 'why not' The video of the woman who saw a shapeshifter on a commercial flight  Artificial Intelligence falling in love with a NY Times writer  Launching the world's first AI Matchmaking Service  HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/heal-squad-x-maria-menounos/id1320060107 SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/2kXrmaNDQQ4i6prZe6LO89?si=2J2jLRd3RUedGPBgpVLrnQ HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Website: www.mariamenounos.com Curated Macy’s Page: www.macys.com/healsquad Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad?utm_med 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.
