Heal Squad x Maria Menounos

Hey, Heal Squad! This Throwback Thursday, we’re bringing back a conversation with the one and only, Mel Robbins! She is a bestselling author, motivational speaker, and creator of the 5-Second Rule and The High-Five Habit—to help you finally break free from self-doubt and build lasting confidence. Mel dives into the science behind self-sabotage, why we struggle with negative self-talk, and how a simple high-five in the mirror can rewire your brain for self-belief. She shares her personal journey of overcoming setbacks, why confidence is a skill (not a personality trait), and how small daily actions can completely transform the way you see yourself. Get ready to learn the powerful mindset shifts that can help you start backing yourself TODAY! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS: Confidence isn’t something you’re born with, it’s something you build. Mel shares how small, intentional habits can rewire your brain for success. Your inner voice matters. Most of us speak to ourselves more harshly than we would to anyone else. Learn how to shift from self-criticism to self-compassion. The power of a simple high-five. Science-backed and life-changing, this one small action can boost your motivation, change your energy, and help you believe in yourself again. If you wait to “feel ready,” you’ll be waiting forever. Action creates confidence, not the other way around.

Hey Regular Guys and Gals, Kev and Kelse are back for this edition of RGF. The role of routine in self discipline and peace. How daily Catholic mass could be your 30 minutes or less means to meditate, heal and have routine - and how anyone can attend. How lent is actually the time to transform. The difference between ketamine and psilocybin treatments. The value of doing inner work BEFORE any kind of therapy along with some steps to do so. The great online healing content for victims - and choosing the right one for you. The lack of content for the perps seeking redemption. How being judgmental creates limiting beliefs and how those limiting beliefs affect your mental and physical  health, fulfillment and success. The new healing way to look at long lines, the next time you're shopping. How tending to tasks, errands and organization can also be vices. Spring is around the corner - bye B's.  -- 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.
