Hey, Heal Squad! This Regular Girl Saturday is giving all the feels. 💛 Kelsey is coming to you poolside from Arizona with the whole Meyer crew—expect laughter, sweet sibling energy, and a few surprisingly deep moments (yes, we’re crying over hummingbirds now 🥹). She opens up about reconnecting with her spiritual side, craving more joy through dance, and trying to find that sweet spot between doing the most and just being. Meanwhile, Natasha checks in with Dylan from a special family trip, sharing reflections on citizenship, chosen family, and the emotional weight of reunions. This episode is a reminder that healing isn’t always a solo journey—sometimes it looks like heart-to-hearts with your fam, late-night giggles, and finally reading that book that lights you up.

We made it through another week, Regular Guys and Gals! And guess what? The real magic isn’t in the big wins—it’s in the tiny ones. Like Kev finally cooking a legit dinner (cue applause) and turning a random shed into a makeshift gym. Home Depot, watch out. But we’re not just talking about cooking victories. We’re diving into dream analysis and how your subconscious might be slipping you some serious life advice while you snooze. Is it healing? Temptation? A monster that’s actually you? Who knows—but it’s fascinating. The takeaway? It's all about stacking small wins, making better choices, and not losing your mind trying to be perfect. Also, a rice cooker, crockpot, and skillet might just be all you need to survive. Bye B’s!

Hey, Heal Squad! Kev is back with Part 2 of his eye-opening conversation with Dr. Fred Luskin – a world-renowned forgiveness expert, Stanford scholar, and mindfulness coach In this powerful episode, Dr. Luskin dives into how he coaches elite Division 1 athletes at Stanford to break free from perfectionism and forgive themselves when things don’t go as planned. He also talks about the shocking link between resentment and relapse – and why letting go is the key to true recovery, and the secret to self-forgiveness (hint, hint: we need to stop over-apologizing!) It's time to let go of the past, stop self-sabotaging, and use forgiveness as your superpower for healing, success, and happiness. Don’t miss it!  HEALERS & HEAL LINERS:  Forgiveness & Addiction Recovery Resentment is the #1 trigger for relapse. Dr. Luskin’s forgiveness-based approach to recovery helps addicts release guilt and shame, which are major emotional drivers of addiction. Gratitude is a Powerful Tool for Rewiring the Brain Negative thoughts naturally dominate our thinking as a survival mechanism.. A more empowering approach is to intentionally practice gratitude. -- 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/ Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy’s Page: Shop My Macy’s Storefront AquaTru: https://aquatruwater.com/  code: HEALSQUAD Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Sleep Number: https://www.sleepnumber.com/ GUEST RESOURCES: Dr. Fred Luskin Website: https://fredluskin.com/ The Forgive for Good Recovery Workbook: Overcome Addiction, Heal Your Past, and Find Peace in Sobriety: https://fredluskin.com/books/ Tedx Talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fZhku-TqmI The Stanford Forgiveness Project: https://med.stanford.edu/survivingcancer/coping-with-cancer/cancer-and-forgiveness.html 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.
