TRIGGER WARNING: Today’s discussion touches on body image, eating disorders, and struggles with addiction. Please take care while listening. Hey, Heal Squad. This might be one of the most raw and emotional conversations we’ve ever had on addiction. Today, Maria sits down with singer-songwriter Avery, whose viral video exposed the hidden dangers of Ozempic. Avery opens up about her heartbreaking journey in the entertainment industry, from being a young artist full of dreams to facing relentless pressure to change her body—including being told by a powerful record producer that she needed surgery to succeed, only to be abandoned afterward. That moment sent her spiraling down the dark path of depression, an eating disorder, and an addiction to Ozempic, resulting in a life-threatening battle with osteoporosis. Avery’s story is one of fame, struggle, and ultimately, a fight to reclaim her life. We hope that by sharing her journey, we can help you on your own path to self-acceptance and recovery.

It's another edition of Lonely Guy Friday, all you RGF fans. Why you should revisit Christopher Reeves' Superman, why we’ve seen enough of Batman and Joker, and why it's time for a new Superman. How the cold plunge is healthy but expensive and painful, and how to cold plunge at home in a far less painful way.

How daily morning mass or service could be the thing to get your days and schedule on track. What empty nesters can do to heal and ascend. How your codependence is keeping you in prison and the irony of how the narcissist in you can free your codependent self (but also land you right back while adding time to your sentence). The tie between codependency and addiction. How trauma makes the artist, but also destroys them (as we see in Hollywood all the time). How Joan Rivers visited Kev in a dream, what she said and how I inte
