Regular Girl Sat. Ep. 16: Big Creative Energy + The Fear of Starting
Hey, Heal Squad! Kels & Nat are back together (!!) and diving into a convo we all need—why is it so easy to hype up others, but so hard to bet on ourselves? 🤯We’re also unpacking the fear of launching something new, why we outsource validation instead of trusting ourselves, how to break through perfectionism & JUST START, and the magic of surrounding yourself with people who lift you up. Oh, and we also cover Maui trips, dream birthdays, and some seriously cosmic timing with a Kelly Clarkson cover. 😂 It’s deep, it’s fun, and it might just be the push you need to finally go all in on YOU.

Lonely Guy Friday Ep. 210: Let’s Talk Psilocybin Healing
Hey, Regular Friends! If you're feeling lonely this Friday, welcome to the club. It's another edition of Lonely Guy Friday. This week, we’re diving into the unexpected wisdom of Sixto Rodriguez from Searching for Sugarman—how his lyrics AND life story can teach us more than we realize. Kev unpacks his experiences with ketamine and psilocybin therapy—why some people turn to them for healing, how they compare, and what surprising revelations they brought (including a bizarre visit from Charles Manson?!). How some people substitute mushrooms for a self-guided healing journey and how they do it effectively. How animals send us messages. How there may be a fine line between Serial Killer and Superstar - Despot and Deity. May the learning and healing continue. Talk shawtly. Disclaimer: This is just one person’s experience, not an endorsement for or against these therapies. Any treatment involving ketamine, psilocybin, or mushrooms should be distributed and guided by a professional, if at all. -- 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 AirDoctor: https://airdoctorpro.com/ code: HEALSQUAD Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Sleep Number: https://www.sleepnumber.com/ 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.

Heal In 10: How to Use Anger to HEAL Instead of HARM w/ Dr. Gabor Maté
Anger isn’t the problem—how you handle it is. In today’s Heal In 10, we’re bringing back a powerful segment of our episode with Dr. Gabor Maté. He breaks down why repressing anger is one of the biggest threats to your health, and explains how unprocessed emotions can contribute to autoimmune diseases, gut disorders, and even depression (PLUS, why learning to express anger properly is key to healing). Dr. Maté shares the difference between healthy and unhealthy anger, why boundaries are built into us from birth, and how turning against your emotions can turn your body against itself. If you’ve ever been told to “just let it go” but felt like ignoring your feelings made things worse, this clip is a must-listen. Listen to the Full Episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/605-how-your-emotions-can-literally-make-you-sick-w/id1320060107?i=1000598437358 HEALERS AND HEAL-LINERS: Repressed anger doesn’t disappear—it turns against you: Suppressing emotions for too long can manifest as autoimmune diseases, chronic pain, and gut issues. Healthy anger is a boundary, not an outburst: Expressing anger in the moment—without rage or repression—prevents resentment and emotional buildup. Depression is often suppressed anger: Pushing down anger instead of acknowledging it can lead to emotional numbness, exhaustion, and long-term mental health struggles. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/?hl=en 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 AirDoctor: https://airdoctorpro.com/ code: HEALSQUAD Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Sleep Number: https://www.sleepnumber.com/ DR GABOR MATÉ RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gabormatemd/ Website: https://drgabormate.com/ 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.
