Hey, Heal Squad! We’re back with Part 2 of our deep dive into all things skin with the one and only Dr. Sandra Lee (aka Dr. Pimple Popper) and this one is for everyone who’s ever stared at a mirror wondering: Should I pop this? Dr. Lee answers all your burning skincare questions, starting with Accutane: does it still work, who should take it, and what you need to know before considering it. She also breaks down the safest way to pop a pimple (yes, there is one!) and what to never touch on your own. From blackheads, cysts, and backne to ingrown hairs and extractions, Dr. Pimple Popper explains what’s really going on under your skin , and the smart, dermatologist-approved ways to handle it. She even shares the tools and tricks she personally recommends for gentle, effective care. If you've ever wanted a masterclass in healthy skin, this is your guide for healing your skin the right way! HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  There’s a right way to pop a pimple. Dr. Lee shares her dermatologist-approved method for safe extractions, including when to pop, when to stop, and how to keep your skin calm afterward. Not every bump is a breakout. From cysts to ingrown hairs and “backne,” Dr. Lee helps us understand what’s really happening under the skin, and how to tell if it’s something that needs a doctor’s attention. Less picking, more patience. She breaks down the do’s and don’ts of extractions, reminding us that prevention, not pressure, is the key to clear, scar-free skin. -- 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 EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Briotech: https://shopbriotech.com/ Use Code: HEALSQUAD for 20% off  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drpimplepopper/?hl=en  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrsF4TYwmrV0QsXb8AoeHQ  Website: https://drpimplepopper.com/  SLMD Skincare: https://slmdskincare.com/  Show: https://www.mylifetime.com/shows/dr-pimple-popper-breaking-out  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! It’s a spooktacular week, and we’re talking about something that haunts us all… pimples! Yep, nothing’s scarier than a breakout right before an event, but have no fear, because Dr. Sandra Lee (aka Dr. Pimple Popper) is here to help us face our skin fears once and for all. In this episode, Dr. Lee and Maria dive into what’s really behind acne, and spoiler: it’s not just stress or skincare, it’s your hormones. She breaks down the science behind breakouts, how to tell the difference between whiteheads, blackheads, and cysts, and what actually works when it comes to treating them. They also unpack why acne scars are so hard to treat, the truth about popular products like Retin-A and benzoyl peroxide, and why you don’t need to spend thousands to heal your skin. It’s everything you wish your skincare routine came with: real answers and zero judgment. 💛 HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Your hormones tell the real story. Dr. Pimple Popper breaks down how hormonal fluctuations are often the root cause of acne, especially adult breakouts. Not all pimples are created equal. From blackheads to cystic acne, Dr. Lee explains the difference between each type (and why the treatment that works for one can actually make another worse). Acne scars are forever,  prevention is key. Dr. Lee reveals why acne scars are nearly impossible to remove completely and shares what you can do early on to stop them from forming in the first place. -- 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 EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Briotech: https://shopbriotech.com/ Use Code: HEALSQUAD for 20% off  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drpimplepopper/?hl=en  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrsF4TYwmrV0QsXb8AoeHQ  Website: https://drpimplepopper.com/  SLMD Skincare: https://slmdskincare.com/  Show: https://www.mylifetime.com/shows/dr-pimple-popper-breaking-out  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! We’re kicking off the week with a little girl talk, a lot of laughs, and with a special guest, Tori Deal! Maria and Tori are both in the middle of closet cleanouts (yes, rage cleaning included!) and share their favorite organization hacks, simple systems that actually work, and why cleaning your space is really about clearing your mind. From Amazon finds to fall wardrobe swaps, they share easy, practical ways to make your home (and your head) feel a little lighter. But it’s not just about the closets…they also get into body changes, self-acceptance, and the emotional weight of clutter, reminding us that letting go of “stuff” is often the first step in creating space for peace. They also dive into the joy of simplifying life, celebrating seasonal traditions, and reconnecting with who you really are beyond all the busyness. Whether you’re in the middle of your own cleanout or just craving a little clarity to kick off the week, this one’s for you!  -- 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 EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Briotech: https://shopbriotech.com/ Use Code: HEALSQUAD for 20% off  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tori_deal/  The Soul Spill: http://www.thesoulspill.com  Kid’s Book: https://shop.torideal.com/products/the-adventures-of-bumble-pea-and-koala-pear-the-search-for-syrup  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 Regular Guys and Gals! We made it through another week! And guess what? Kelsey’s back! And doing a much-needed Kweenz catch-up…spiritually, emotionally, and literally, into the closets. Kev and Kels share how decluttering your space can actually lift emotional weight and release things you didn’t realize you were still carrying. Kels is rediscovering her “Kween” energy, and they talk through why there just aren’t as many real Kweenz out there anymore… PLUS, they also get into the shadow self, emotional triggers, and how breathwork’s been helping Kelsey (and soon Kev!) let go of what’s been holding her back. And of course, they get real about friendship breakups…what it means to take the high road instead of talking about people, and how a simple “I’m out” keeps you grounded in your light instead. Enjoy the Kween catch-up! Bye Betches.

Hey, Heal Squad! We’re throwing it back to a conversation on what it really means to live authentically and find peace in your own company. Maria and Kelsey are in deep reflections of Dr. Shefali’s bestselling book: A Radical Awakening! They dive into how societal “shoulds” shape our lives, and how to finally let them go. Maria opens up about her journey from rebelling against traditional marriage expectations to manifesting her dream wedding by doing things her way. They discuss why it’s okay to question norms, release guilt, and stop dimming your light to make others comfortable. PLUS, the Kweenz get into how solitude can become a sanctuary for self-discovery… revealing what you truly need, healing your inner child, and learning to love the quiet moments instead of fearing them!

Whether you’re co-parenting, part of a blended family, or just trying to raise emotionally healthy kids, you need to hear this. Welcome back to Part 2 where Maria sits down with Heather Rae El Moussa (Star of Selling Sunset & The Flipping El Moussas) for a conversation about parenting with peace and love, even when it’s hard. Heather opens up about what it’s really like to raise a blended family in the public eye, and how she’s learned to let go of ego, comparison, and judgment for the sake of her children. They both share the emotional tools that have helped them, from therapy and communication to self-awareness and grace, and how choosing peace over conflict transforms not just your family, but your own healing. PLUS, they share how to model emotional regulation for kids, create healthy boundaries, and rebuild trust after family changes or divorce. Heather dives into her lessons on compassion, forgiveness, and what it really means to lead by example! If you’re navigating co-parenting, communication, or just want to bring more calm into your home, tune in!  HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Peace is a choice you make every day. Heather shares how she learned to put ego aside and lead with compassion (even when co-parenting gets hard) because peace at home starts with the energy you bring into it. Your healing is your child’s healing. Both Heather and Maria remind us that kids don’t just hear what we say, they feel how we live. Modeling calm, communication, and emotional honesty teaches them more than words ever could. Forgiveness isn’t weakness, it’s wisdom. Heather opens up about learning to let go of resentment and choose understanding, proving that true strength comes from empathy, not control. -- 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 EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Briotech: https://shopbriotech.com/ Use Code: HEALSQUAD for 20% off  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theheatherraeelmoussa/?hl=en  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@heatherraeelmoussa  Heather Rae Beauty: https://www.instagram.com/heatherraeessentials/?hl=en  Website: https://heatherraeessentials.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.

Hey, Heal Squad! This week, Maria is taking us inside her personal evolution, sharing how her wellness journey has shifted, softened, and simplified over time. After her latest healing journey, struggling with vertigo, Maria shares the exact acupressure points that brought her instant relief (yes, she even demos them!) The surprising lessons this experience taught her about slowing down and trusting her body. She also opens up about life in Connecticut (the dream she and Kev always hoped for) and how emotional it feels to watch Athena running through the fields with her dad. Through it all, Maria reflects on loosening her grip on perfection, easing up on the “health hustle,” and learning to trust the process instead of controlling it. This is your reminder that growth is an evolution, and that honoring where you are right now is part of the healing journey!  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 EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Briotech: https://shopbriotech.com/ Use Code: HEALSQUAD for 20% off  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.
