Regular Guy Friday Ep. 233: Why Starting Over Is The Biggest Breakthrough

Hey, Heal Squad! We’re back with the one and only Dr Joe Dispenza for Part 2 of our powerful conversation! Dr Joe shares with Maria how love resets trauma in the brain, why the heart is the true gateway to healing, and how mastering our emotions allows us to finally create the life we want. He also gives his meditation prescription to those who are starting their journey (and tips on how to get started). Maria also opens up about her own practice of asking, “What would love do?” in moments of anger and hurt, and how that single shift dissolved pain and changed everything. Together, they dive deep into what it really means to choose love over fear, and why consistency and self-accountability are the ultimate formula for transformation. PLUS, Dr Joe shares some of the most shocking healing testimonials you’ll ever hear, you’ll just have to tune in to find out! This will leave you in tears, in awe, and with a whole new sense of what’s possible! Tune in!  HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS: Love resets the brain. When energy moves into the heart, it sends a signal to the brain that the past is over, dissolving trauma and opening the door to healing. This shift lets you look back without pain and step forward with freedom. Healing requires consistency. The people who transform don’t miss a day; they show up for themselves until they believe in their future more than their past. It’s the daily commitment that turns possibility into reality. Forgiveness is freedom. True forgiveness isn’t about forcing it, it’s what naturally happens when you release the emotion and open your heart. When you stop carrying the charge of the past, you’re finally free to create something new. -- 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 EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjoedispenza  Website: https://drjoedispenza.com/  Attend Dr Joe’s Upcoming Week Long Retreat on September 14-20: https://drjoedispenza.com/product-details/Nashville%20Week%20Long%20Advanced%20Retreat%20September%202025  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! Buckle up because we are back with one of my all-time favorite guests, the brilliant Dr Joe Dispenza! In Part 1, Dr Joe breaks down how our thoughts and emotions literally shape our reality. He explains how the hormones of stress become addictive, why anxiety can dissolve in just days of doing the work, and the science of catching yourself before you slip back into old patterns. Maria also opens up about her own breakthroughs with Dr Joe’s teachings, including how she learned to shift her energy field from negative to positive potentials. Together, they explore how to take your power back, rewire your brain and body, and step into a future created by love instead of fear. It’s vulnerable, it’s exciting, and it’s proof that we are the creators of our lives (even when that feels impossible to believe). And this is just the beginning… tune in & come back tomorrow for Part 2! HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Your thoughts can make you sick. When you constantly imagine worst-case scenarios, your body turns on the stress response as if it’s real, and over time, that imbalance creates disease. Anxiety is not permanent. Dr Joe’s research shows that in as little as three days of doing the work, the brain can reset and anxiety can dissolve. The present moment is medicine. Each time you catch your mind drifting into fear and bring it back to now, you reclaim your energy and open the door to healing.

Hey Regular Guys and Gals, we did it again! We made it through another week! This week we talk about how it's less about fashion and more about energy, why so many of us freeze our look at the moment we “peaked,” and how staying current means you have not quit. How the pajama-pants mindset could mean you have quit. Why showing up with intention changes how you feel and how life meets you. How letting go of outcomes, while still giving your best, brings peace—because it's all 'just on loan.' The measure of true  wealth and how strength comes from enduring, not avoiding. RGF BONUS: From Patula Clark’s Downtown as a quick mood reset, to memories of Green Stamps and Christmas Clubs. Why small comforts (even a thick 'frappe 'on a rough night) can carry you through. And one last reminder, September may feel like a lull, but it’s really the first day of ' spring training’ for the holiday season . -- 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 EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist 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! Today we’re throwing it back to one of Maria’s most profound healing experiences, her weekend retreat with Dr Joe Dispenza!  Maria takes us inside her time in San Diego with Dr Joe and 1,600 others, where she discovers what it really means to stop living in the past, break free from old programs, and step into the present moment as the true creator of your life. She shares how just three days of meditations dissolved her anxiety, why forgiveness was the key to her healing, and the powerful ways gratitude, intention, and elevated emotions collapse time to bring what you want closer. From mystical experiences and heart-opening moments to the science-backed research proving how thoughts shape health, Maria opens up about the breakthroughs that made her feel like she stepped into a whole new body. And the best part? This isn’t the end of the conversation. Next week, Dr Joe Dispenza himself joins us again to dive even deeper into the science and practice of becoming your own healer.

Hey, Heal Squad! We’re back with Part 2 of a fan favorite guest, psychic medium John Edward, but this time, he’s joined by his co-author, retired FBI agent Robert Hilland. Together, this unlikely duo reveals the jaw-dropping story behind their new book, Chasing Evil, and how a skeptic FBI agent and a psychic forged a 25-year partnership solving cold cases. Together, they dive into the behind-the-scenes work on cases like the infamous John Smith disappearances, the Yale University murder of Annie Lee, and what it was like to keep their collaboration secret for decades. From undercover setups with planted evidence to shocking confirmations that no one could have predicted, John and Robert share how they built trust across two very different worlds. PLUS, John opens up about the unexpected healing this work gave him, forcing him to reconcile with his late father’s skepticism and recognize unresolved grief with his mom. This isn’t just about crime-solving; it’s about learning to trust yourself, embracing the unexplainable, and finding validation in the most unlikely places… you don’t want to miss this one! Tune in!  HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Intuition can reveal what evidence can’t. John and Robert show how psychic insight uncovered missing clues and validated leads in real FBI cold cases. Skepticism can shift into trust. A veteran FBI agent went from doubting John to relying on him for over 25 years, proving the power of keeping an open mind. Healing comes from facing the truth. John shares how this unlikely partnership also helped him process unresolved pain with his parents and find deeper self-acceptance. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria 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 EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/psychicmediumje/?hl=en  Website: https://johnedward.net/  Evolve+: http://www.evolveplusTV.com  Book (Chasing Evil): https://a.co/d/clIbfaD  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.

Psychic John Edward is back… and this time, he’s teaching YOU how to tap into your own intuition. From gut feelings to energetic nudges, John breaks down how we can all access our inner knowing and start predicting what’s next in our own lives (yes, really). Maria and John go deep on trusting yourself, recognizing energetic red flags, and why your inner voice is usually right, even when it’s inconvenient. He also opens up about his fascinating work helping solve real-life murder cases (you’ll hear more in his upcoming book, Chasing Evil), and his recent interview with Sharon Stone, who turned the tables and gave him a surprise reading. Plus, John shares what he’s feeling for the rest of 2025, why more people are becoming energetically fractured, and how to protect your peace in a world full of noise. If you’ve ever had a gut feeling you couldn’t explain, or a moment that made you wonder, “Wait… how did I know that?”, this episode is your permission to lean all the way in. Hit play and start tuning into the power you already have! HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  You don’t need to be a psychic to predict your own life. John says intuition is a skill we all have (and can strengthen). Grief doesn’t end after year one; in fact, the second year often hits harder, and that’s completely normal. Energetic boundaries matter. Your peace is worth protecting, even if it means walking away.
