Conversations With Maria Menounos

Hey Heal Squad! Get ready for this quick but powerful lesson from world renowned psychic medium, John Edward as he shares his secrets of energy protection with Maria! John breaks down what he calls “psychic self-defense”, the art of creating healthy boundaries, standing firm in your truth, and not letting others drain your energy. From confronting grief to recognizing when empathy turns into self-sacrifice, John shares how protecting your energy isn’t just spiritual, it’s essential for your healing and growth. If you’ve ever struggled with saying no, felt guilty for setting boundaries, or wondered how to balance compassion with self-care, this will give you the tools to stand stronger in your light. You’ve got this!  -- 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://ww

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/@healsqua

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. Consider

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 un

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

Hey Heal Squad! Labor Day felt like the perfect time to bring back this throwback episode, because while we’re all out here working on our health, careers, and healing… what about our friendships? In this episode, Maria gets real about what it takes to make new friends as an adult,  the awkwardness, the growth, the joy of finding people who truly get you. She shares how her own journey inspired a friendship reset, and why sometimes, the right people show up when you’re brave enough to make space for them. PLUS, they dive into the top tips on how to make friends at any age and stage.  So if your current crew isn’t vibing with your next chapter, or you’re just ready to call in new, aligned connections, this one’s for you!

Hey Heal Squad! In this Heal in 10, Tori Deal shares how her experience with plant medicine opened the door to deep emotional healing. Through her journey with Ayahuasca, she discovered the importance of facing buried pain, releasing old patterns, and finding compassion for her younger self. Her story reminds us that plant medicine isn’t about quick fixes, it’s about creating the space for breakthroughs that shift how we see ourselves and our healing journey. A powerful reminder that sometimes the deepest healing comes when we’re willing to face ourselves fully.

Hey, Heal Squad! We are back with another Sunday Set Up to help you set the tone for the week ahead. This week, we reflect on the nostalgia of the Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon, the shifting lens on shows like The Biggest Loser (including discussion on the Netflix doc), and the reminder that what once entertained us may look very different through today’s eyes.  We talk about the importance of listening to our bodies before they shut us down, with stories of stress, illness, and the emotional weight that often hides behind physical breakdowns. The message is clear: healing requires addressing both the physical AND the emotional.   Then we get serious. Plotting pumpkin-carving contests. Halloween decorations popping up in stores being “spring training” for the upcoming holiday season. We reminisce about birthday party 'grab bags' being the rage, playing with caps, and bobbing for donuts-on-a-string somehow being fun.

Hey Regular Guys and Gals, we did it again, made it through another week for this edition of RGF-lite! How second chances don’t come by waiting, you earn them by letting go. The time travel that helps and the kind that hurts. How living in the past keeps you from the present. How you can apply every health hack known to humans and get an additional five years of life but do this one thing to get 30 or more. How movement is the truest method to maintain youth. How knowing and accepting who you are frees you from chasing someone else’s idea of success. And how real connection, even in messy places, comes from finding those who remain human in the hustle. On the lighter side of this RGF-lite, carney tales and how Jinxy the carnival cat (long gone, long loved) became the mascot for madness. How 'Lori', the gentleman carnie, provided humanity during chaos. School supplies, lunch boxes, fluffernutter sandwiches, bobbing for apples, drunk coaches at Little League games and poor performing thermos were from

Ever feel like you’re stuck in a never-ending cycle? Well, you’re in luck, Heal Squad! Today, we’re throwing it back to a conversation that’s all about slowing down to level up. Maria and Kelsey explore how stillness isn’t laziness, it’s one of the most powerful tools you have for restoring energy, clarity, and emotional balance. Maria shares personal stories about breaking free from the constant “go, go, go” and learning to create intentional pauses in daily life. We talk about why burnout is so common, how overstimulation drains your nervous system, and the science-backed ways stillness helps your body repair, your mind refocus, and your spirit reconnect. PLUS, you’ll learn simple practices you can start today (no fancy retreats required!) that will help you recharge, reduce stress, and actually get more done by doing less. It’s the reset your mind and body have been waiting for. Tune in and let stillness do its magic!!  HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.

What happens when you stop numbing and finally face what’s underneath? Hey, Heal Squad! In this deeply honest episode, Maria sits down with The Challenge star turned certified meditation coach, singer, and author Tori Deal to unpack her journey of coming off antidepressants, quitting alcohol, and finding herself again. Tori shares what it’s been like to be six months med-free, the tools that supported her through the transition, and how her Ayahuasca journey helped her release childhood trauma and reconnect with her inner truth. Together, she and Maria dive into the emotional toll of reality TV, the power of presence, and the spiritual practices that helped her finally feel whole. Whether you’re exploring your own healing, questioning your relationship with medication, or looking for a reset, this episode is for you. HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Coming off antidepressants is a layered journey: Tori shares how she weaned off medication after a decade, found stability without numbing, and learned to hold

What does it really mean to be a strong woman?

Hey Heal Squad! We had our first-ever Heal Retreat… and we’re still buzzing from it. There were tears, breakthroughs, laughter, and the kind of healing you can feel in your body long after you leave the room. In this episode, Maria and Kev are unpacking everything about the retreat, the energy, the conversations, the community, and the transformations that unfolded. They also dive into the topics of resonance and dissonance, safety and surrender, and what it actually feels like when your body finally exhales. Maria shares her biggest takeaways (including some pretty emotional ones), and we dive into the moments that cracked us open and reminded us why we do this work; not to “fix” ourselves, but to come home to who we really are. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be part of this community in real life, this is the episode to listen to. It’s not just a recap, it’s a portal into what’s possible when you step into a space of safety, presence, and connection. Healing is possible. And it happened

Hey Heal Squad! Have you ever wondered, “Am I actually supporting my healing, or just pushing harder?” Remember this: Your symptoms are signals, so start listening. In today’s Heal in 10, McCall McPherson breaks down the surprising truth about popular wellness trends (like cold plunging

Hey, Heal Squad! We are back with another Sunday Set Up to help you set the tone for the week ahead. This week, the challenge of heavy Sundays, the search for meaning in church sermons, and how nuggets of wisdom sometimes appear when and where we least expect them. We talk about the joy of work as a purpose, why women still face uphill battles in the workplace, and the importance of empathy and action, especially from fathers raising daughters. We also explore resonance and dissonance: knowing when to lean in, when to endure, and when it’s time to walk away. We also have some laughs along the way, from Kev’s dream of a 24/7 Holiday News Network to carnival fair nostalgia and even a few wild but true tales regarding Wizard of Oz Munchkin reunions. Here’s to a week of balance, joy, and finding your resonance, Heal Squad!

Hey Regular Guys and Gals, we did it again. We made it through another week! How comparison really is the thief of joy, how chasing “number one” only leaves you empty, but chasing what you ‘love’ is how you actually win. How doing your best and then letting go is the healthiest way to create, whether it’s films, podcasts, or just making it through another Friday. How the emotional weight we carry (family roles, expectations, old wounds) can block more than just joy but also our health, and how releasing that weight can unlock real healing and yes even actual weight loss. How stars aren’t built by training or technique and how each of us has our own “it factor” when we stop trying to be someone else. How every room, event, or opportunity offers something valuable if you walk in open, but nothing if you walk in closed. RGF BONUS: How Donut Talk might be the spin-off podcast no one asked for but everyone will need. And how Meatloaf (yes, the singer, not the dinner plate) proved you don’t need the “look” to

Hey, Heal Squad! In this throwback episode, Maria and Kels are diving into the real, life-changing power of decluttering (not just your home!), your mind, energy, and daily habits. We talk about how physical clutter creates mental chaos, blocks creativity, and even affects your mood and relationships. You’ll learn how letting go of what you don’t need makes space for what you do,  whether that’s new opportunities, better health, or a deeper sense of peace. From simple, practical tips to the emotional side of parting with “stuff,” this conversation will inspire you to release what’s weighing you down. Because when you clear your space, you clear the path for the life you’ve been wanting to live. It’s not just about tidying up,  it’s about creating room for joy, clarity, and the things that truly matter. Let’s make space for the life you deserve!

If you’ve ever been told your labs are “normal” but you still feel exhausted, foggy, or off, this episode is your game-changer. In Part 2 of our conversation with thyroid expert McCall McPherson, we go beyond the basics and dive into how to actually understand your lab results, and why so many women are dismissed or misdiagnosed because their numbers fall within outdated, generic ranges. Maria opens up about her own thyroid test results, and McCall breaks it all down: what’s truly considered optimal (not just “in range”), what your TSH, T3, and antibodies are really saying, and how understanding your labs can help you take back your energy, mood, metabolism, and more. Because when you can read your labs like a thyroid expert, you stop guessing… and start healing smarter!! HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  "Normal" isn't optimal. Most lab ranges are based on averages of unwell people, which means you can feel awful and still be told you're "fine." True healing begins with optimal, not just acceptable.

We’re kicking off a powerful two-part conversation with McCall McPherson, PA, women’s health expert, and founder of Modern Thyroid Clinic, who is here to clear up the massive confusion around thyroid health. She reveals why so many people with fatigue, weight gain, mood swings, and brain fog are walking around undiagnosed, and how one missing hormone test could change everything. She breaks down the different types of thyroid disorders (hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s, hyperthyroidism), the right labs you actually need, and the early signs you can’t afford to ignore. We also get into why most doctors rely on incomplete testing, how to tell if your thyroid medication is actually working for you, and the difference between Synthroid and natural desiccated thyroid medications (think gasoline vs. crude oil for your body). All women need to hear this one, tune in!!  HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Thyroid disease isn’t always permanent. Autoimmune thyroid disorders like Hashimoto’s and Graves can be put into

We’ve been sold the idea that healing comes in a bottle… serums, supplements, skincare, solutions. But what if the real medicine is already around (and within) you? Hey Heal Squad! Maria is joined by Dr. Alison again for a conversation that will completely shift how you think about your health. From the surprising ways nasal congestion may reveal deeper nervous system stress, to the power of light, water, and magnetism in rewiring your body’s healing systems, this episode brings it all back to basics. They also get real about beauty standards and why Maria’s ditched makeup (and hasn’t looked back), how reconnecting with natural rhythms can support your energy and sleep, and why tuning into subtle body cues may be your greatest health breakthrough yet. Turns out, healing doesn’t have to be so complicated… and you don’t need a 12-step routine to feel better. You just need to remember what your body’s been trying to tell you all along.  And maybe… step outside, take off the sunglasses, and let the li
