Conversations With Maria Menounos

Yep, we fooled them again! It’s Regular Guy Friday. This week we reflect on breaking the hustle cycle, shifting from resentment to presence, and how leading with love (instead of Diet Coke) can actually change your life. We get into emotional energy levels—why shame keeps you stuck, anger gets you moving, and courage is where things finally start to lift. We talk all things ancestral patterns, limiting beliefs about hard work, and the surprising power of slowing down. Also: why blasting music through a demo job might be out, and inner peace might be in. And yes, even during a Reiki session, the most unexpected spiritual guest can show up—and he really wants to be on the team. RGF Bonus: A quick dream breakdown, emotional baseballs, and how renovating a house might just be a metaphor for renovating your life. Bye betches. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad

Hey, Heal Squad! We’re throwing it back with one of our most loved episodes featuring Dr. Laura Berman, renowned relationship expert, therapist, and best-selling author, just in time to get you prepped for her NEW episodes airing next week! Dr. Laura breaks down the real reason your love might not be landing—and how understanding your love language can completely transform the way you relate, not only in romantic partnerships but in friendships, family dynamics, and even with yourself. She also dives into the unique challenges of being an empath, how to stop absorbing other people’s energy, and the tools you need to set healthy emotional boundaries that protect your peace. This is your guide to reclaiming connection without losing yourself in the process… Enjoy, friends!! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS:  Your love language is the key to feeling truly seen & appreciated. Learning how you naturally give and receive love can help you strengthen every relationship in your life. Empaths, you don’t have to

Hey Heal Squad! In Part 2 of our incredible conversation with Judy Wilkins-Smith, we go even deeper into how your subconscious mind, inherited beliefs, and emotional DNA may be running your life—until you choose to rewrite them. Judy introduces us to the real power of Genealogy 3.0, and how your family’s past (and even major world events!) still impact the way you think, feel, and respond today. She shares tools to help you identify the emotional blocks that aren’t even yours, and how to replace them with clear, emotionally charged visions of what you actually want. From rewiring generational scarcity, to navigating parenting patterns, to building new beliefs through visualization, this will help you stop living someone else’s story, and finally create your own. Whether you're feeling stuck, weighed down by inherited fear, or simply ready to level up, you’re gonna wanna hear this one. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS:  Genealogy 3.0 goes deeper than DNA tests. Knowing where you come from is powerful, but un

Hey Heal Squad! Welcome to Part 1 of a special conversation with a familiar guest, Judy Wilkins-Smith, a leading expert in emotional DNA, systems work, and ancestral healing! Judy dives deep into how our unconscious family patterns (especially around money, fear, and identity) get passed down generation after generation. From emotional imprints to inherited beliefs, these “invisible loyalties” can keep us stuck in cycles of scarcity, self-sabotage, and even illness. This good news is, Judy explains how to recognize a generational pattern when it’s running your life, how to trace it back to its origin, and most importantly, how to shift it using elevated emotion and intentional language. We also explore how inherited trauma shapes your nervous system, how your relationship with money is rarely just yours, and why feeling safe is the starting point for real growth. This episode will change how you see your past AND give you tools to create a different future! Enjoy!!  HEALERS & HEAL LINERS:  Inherit

Hey, Heal Squad! The Roundtable is back, and this week we’re diving into two household staples that might be doing more harm than good: electric toothbrushes and microwaves.

Hey, Heal Squad! In this Heal in 10, Hannah Brown gets real about her health journey, revealing for the first time how chronic stress, PCOS, and a double uterus diagnosis impacted her body, hormones, and future fertility plans. She opens up about how ignoring stress was doing more damage than sugar ever could, the emotional toll of being dismissed by doctors, and how learning to listen to her body instead of pushing through changed everything…From strength training to blood sugar regulation to working with Dr. Amen and competing on Special Forces, Hannah walks us through the big shifts that helped her rebuild trust in her body—and herself. This episode is packed with validation and empowerment for anyone struggling with hormonal imbalance, fertility fear, or self-doubt.

Happy Mother’s Day, Heal Squad! It’s another Sunday Setup, still not greenlit but vibing high anyway, as Kev and his co-conspirator Anne ease us into the week. We kick things off with melancholy theme songs, Lutheran Easter specials, and why life isn’t about chasing joy or dodging pain—it’s about being present for both. (Kitty rollercoaster > Space Mountain. Debate settled.) From there, it’s a gratitude deep dive, courtesy of The Magic and Dr. Kim’s MindBody work. The lesson? Ungratefulness isn’t neutral—it takes from you. So when the negative thoughts hit, stand by... and respond with thanks. Even if it’s for the very thing that triggered you. Especially if it is. We also get a simple but game-changing reframe on manifestation. Forget complicated vision boards—just feel the feeling now. Want love? Feel lovable. Want wealth? Feel successful. Want to move like you’re still 22? Feel like it—and maybe throw in a basketball. Kev walks us through his own case study, from spiritual mogul-ing to BD(E) energy, all w

Hey Heal Squad! It’s another Regular Girl Saturday, and the Kweenz are back with all the life updates! Kelsey shares her latest therapy and PCOS breakthroughs, plus how she's carving out solo time for healing and movement (even during Tony Awards chaos). Natasha dives into surrendering after months of deep emotional work, her new pup Oreo, and how dog life is helping her open her heart again. From glossy hair tips to Mother's Day plans, it’s a cozy catch-up on slowing down, tuning in, and giving yourself grace. Happy Saturday & Happy Mother’s Day to all the mamas out there, we love you! xo Kels & Nat -- 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 Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delet

It’s Friday and we fooled them again! It’s a Regular Guy Witchy Wounds and Victim Con Edition of RGF—and yes, what a SCAM This week, Kev and his Holiday Specials We Love co-host Anne dive into all things regular guy: cuts that come with spiritual symbolism, voodoo flashbacks from the Carnie business, and how finger injuries may actually be your soul trying to send a message. We get into Salem lore, give a shoutout to our witchy friends (love and light!), and unpack whether Jesus would hang with Wiccans (spoiler: Kev thinks yes). There’s dream analysis, ancestral healing, snakes that don’t bite, and the slow rise from background player to generational cycle-breaker. Oh, and a strong pitch for cabana service in 5D. Because why ascend if there’s no bottle service? RGF Bonus: An official update on Salem’s OG witch Laurie Cabot, dream insights from ChatGPT (aka Kev’s new bestie), and the first-ever glimpse at Victim Con’s rapidly expanding multi-tiered franchise model—V2Con, anyone? Bye betches. --

Happy Throwback Thursday, Heal Squad! In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, and our recent episodes with Hannah Brown. We’re bringing back one of the many conversations we’ve had with brain health pioneer and psychiatrist, Dr. Daniel Amen. Dr. Amen challenges everything we think we know about mental illness. He shares why we should stop calling it “mental” illness and start seeing it for what it really is: brain illness. From trauma and inflammation to diet and automatic negative thoughts (aka ANTs), Dr. Amen reveals the true root causes behind anxiety, depression, and emotional suffering—and what we can do to heal. You’ll learn practical tools to improve your mood, increase focus, and finally feel like yourself again. Whether you're deep in your healing journey or just getting started, this episode is a powerful reminder that your brain health is your superpower. Let’s shine a light on healing this month, and always. Enjoy, friends!!  -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/heals

Hey Heal Squad! We’re back with Part 2 of our powerful conversation with Hannah Brown, and this time, we’re going deeper into the heart. Hannah is opening up about her decision to start couples therapy with her fiancé Adam—not because something was wrong, but because they wanted to build a strong foundation for marriage. She talks about her avoidant attachment style, the trauma that shaped it, and how therapy has helped her feel seen, safe, and connected in ways she never thought possible. We also dive into Hannah’s latest season of life—between planning a wedding, writing her second novel, and working through lingering health issues like narcolepsy and inflammation flare-ups. Plus, she shares some of her favorite wellness rituals, beauty hacks, and the deeper emotional themes behind her new book The Four Engagement Rings of Sybil Rain. If you’ve ever struggled to feel safe in love, felt unseen in a relationship, or wondered if healing your past is possible, this episode is for you.

Hey Heal Squad! We’re kicking off an incredible two-part conversation with Hannah Brown! You might know her from The Bachelorette, DWTS, and Special Forces, but today, she’s opening up in a way you’ve never seen before. For the first time, Hannah shares her personal journey of healing from chronic inflammation, anxiety, PCOS, and a mysterious autoimmune rollercoaster that left her in pain, confused, and feeling broken. She takes us through the real story behind her transformation—from not being able to walk up stairs to winning Special Forces and reclaiming her power. She also opens up about working with Dr. Daniel Amen, receiving a double uterus diagnosis, and how she’s navigating fertility and womanhood on her own terms. This episode is for anyone who’s felt dismissed, burned out, or “not enough”—because Hannah proves healing is messy, personal, and so worth it. HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Stress Is a Silent Saboteur: Hannah shares how living in constant survival mode led to burnout, inflammation, a

Hey, Heal Squad! This week’s Roundtable is turning the temperature up (and way down) as they dive into the wellness world’s favorite trends: cold plunges and saunas. Are they really the ultimate healing tools—or are we just copying viral biohacks that don’t fit our unique bodies? We’re breaking down what everyone’s talking about: the “Joe Rogan Method” of 39°F cold plunging with methylene blue. Is it effective? Dr. Allison shares why context, mitochondrial health, and even your ancestral DNA play a huge role in how your body responds to cold. We also explore sauna detox strategies and the truth about why sweating isn’t always as simple as it seems. PLUS, Maria opens up about her own experience with cryotherapy and why she stopped cold plunging after expert advice. (P.S. there’s a better, gentler way to build resilience that doesn’t involve shocking your system into stress) Tune in!! -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HE

Hey, Heal Squad! In this powerful Heal in 10, Nicole Sachs, LCSW shares the deeply personal story behind the creation of her healing practice, JournalSpeak—and how it helped her release years of chronic back pain after one pivotal writing session. Nicole walks us through how she confronted the thoughts she never believed she could say out loud—and how doing so changed everything.

Hey Heal Squad, it's the last day of the week and time for your Sunday Set Up. This week Kev is once again joined by college friend Anne to discuss leading with love and how doing so begets more love. There is also an in depth dream reveal and analysis with resident therapist Chat GPT doing the interpretations. In addition, Chat deciphers other messages you may be receiving from the universe - messages you're most likely unaware of but maybe shouldn't be. Shame feeds smoke. Love feeds light.  Here's to another great week!

Hey Regular Guys and Gals we made it through another week to another edition of Regular Guy Friday. East coast college friend Anne Sleeman returns where she and Kev discuss revelations on what living in the 3D world means, what living in the 4D world means and even what living in the 5D world means. How to integrate all three dimensions and why doing so enriches life. How the people who are willing to express their fears and pain are actually the most courageous of all. How there is much space to heal the victims but little space to heal the perpetrators. How there may be no such thing as perpetrators or victims at all - certainly not in the 5D world. How the emotion of courage is on the equator level of consciousness. How anger is better than shame because at least it has energy. How the emotion of anger can only elevate you so far and how true longevity is in the emotion of joy (as proven by various star athletes and yes we name them). How demons appear to battle you right on the cusp of recovery. How the r

Happy Throwback Thursday, Heal Squad! This week, we’re rewinding to one of our most brain-boosting conversations with Jim Kwik, brain coach and best-selling author of Limitless. Jim introduces us to his Brain Animal Quiz—a simple but powerful tool that reveals your unique cognitive style and how you learn best. Whether you’re a cheetah, owl, dolphin, or elephant, understanding your brain type can help you read faster, improve memory, build better teams, and even become a more connected parent or leader. Maria and Jim also dive into child development, parenting styles, mirror neurons, and why who you spend time with is who you become. If you’ve ever wished you could work smarter, not harder, this one’s for you.

Hey Heal Squad! We’re back with Part 2 of our amazing convo with Nicole Sachs, LCSW, psychotherapist, mindbody expert, and author of the upcoming book Mind Your Body. This time, Nicole is diving deep into her transformative practice called JournalSpeak, a method that’s helped her and so many others heal from chronic pain, anxiety, autoimmune symptoms, and more by getting to the root of what’s really going on: unprocessed emotions. She breaks down how our subconscious beliefs, people-pleasing patterns, and early-life stressors can keep us sick—even when we think we’ve “moved on.” Nicole also shares personal stories (including how she healed a severe spinal condition doctors said was permanent!) and the exact tools that helped clients like Ricki Lake and Shoshana Bean reclaim their health. If you’ve been doing all the things but still feel stuck, this might be the missing piece. Tune in!  HEALERS & HEAL LINERS:  JournalSpeak as a Path to Healing: Nicole shares how her daily 20-minute practice, Journ

Hey Heal Squad! Are you ready to shift how you see your pain, anxiety, and even your daily stress? Well, you’re in luck cause in Part 1, Maria is joined by Nicole Sachs, LCSW, psychotherapist, mindbody expert, and author of the upcoming book Mind Your Body! Nicole’s here to break down why so many of us are stuck in chronic fight-or-flight mode, and how that stress can actually lead to physical symptoms like fatigue, back pain, migraines, anxiety, and even long COVID. She shares the powerful concept of the emotional reservoir—how our repressed feelings (yes, even the ones we don’t know we’re holding on to) can overflow and start showing up in the body. Nicole also dives into the real science behind why your body might be using symptoms to protect you… and what you can do about it. If you’ve ever thought “everything in my life seems fine, but I still feel off”, tune in and get ready to feel seen, understood, and empowered to heal!

Hey Heal Squad! The Roundtable is BACK and this week Maria and the squad uncover a massively overlooked health issue, fatty liver, and how it might be quietly affecting your energy, metabolism, and even your risk for diabetes?! We break down how circadian rhythm dysfunction, artificial light, and poor detox pathways are fueling this epidemic—even in people who “look” healthy. Also, why insulin resistance is on the rise, what to look out for before blood tests show a problem, and how your environment may be working against your body. PLUS, Maria shares what she’s been learning about her own liver health, and the simple daily shifts she’s already using to boost energy, reduce inflammation, and support real healing.
