1074. From Reality TV to REAL Healing: Hannah Brown’s Health Spiral, Avoidant Attachment and Special Forces

Hey Heal Squad! We’re back with Part 2 of our powerful conversation with Hannah Brown, and this time, we’re going deeper into the heart. Hannah is opening up about her decision to start couples therapy with her fiancé Adam—not because something was wrong, but because they wanted to build a strong foundation for marriage. She talks about her avoidant attachment style, the trauma that shaped it, and how therapy has helped her feel seen, safe, and connected in ways she never thought possible. We also dive into Hannah’s latest season of life—between planning a wedding, writing her second novel, and working through lingering health issues like narcolepsy and inflammation flare-ups. Plus, she shares some of her favorite wellness rituals, beauty hacks, and the deeper emotional themes behind her new book The Four Engagement Rings of Sybil Rain. If you’ve ever struggled to feel safe in love, felt unseen in a relationship, or wondered if healing your past is possible, this episode is for you. 💛 HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS: Emotional Avoidance Isn’t Who You Are—It’s What You Learned: Hannah breaks down how her avoidant attachment style showed up in her relationship, and how therapy helped her identify the patterns holding her back. Growth Requires Support: Hannah reminds us that even when things “look good,” healing is an ongoing process—and having a growth-minded partner makes the journey even more powerful. Resilience is Built in the Chaos: From narcolepsy to wedding planning to launching a book, Hannah shares how she’s managing it all without losing herself—by slowing down and staying connected to her needs. Movement Is Medicine: Her non-negotiable? Strength training 3–4x a week. Not to look a certain way—but because it keeps her mentally and physically strong. -- 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 HANNAH BROWN RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hannahbrown/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@hannahbrown/featured TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@hannahkbrown?lang=en Pre-Order Her Book Now! https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/hannah-brown/the-four-engagement-rings-of-sybil-rain/9781538756805/ 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.
