Conversations With Maria Menounos

Hey, Heal Squad! In this week’s Heal in 10, Maria is joined by spiritual medium and author MaryAnn DiMarco for a powerful conversation on what it really takes to understand your feelings and build trust in yourself. MaryAnn shares how shifting perspective can turn even your hardest moments into growth, and why gratitude is the fastest way to stop a downward spiral. She breaks down the difference between true healing and “spiritual bypassing,” reminding us that we can’t manifest or surrender our way out of pain without actually facing what we feel. You’ll also learn practical ways to connect with your intuition and spirit guides, and how to start trusting the answers you already carry within.

This week on Regular Guy Friday, Kev and the Heal Squad explore a new kind of occupation — emotional surrogate. Why it's okay to show up and go all in for a stranger in crisis. How you can be the family member a stranger needs, even if merely in the moment they need it. The spectrum of hoarders. Some are mentally ill, and some are just...narcissists. RGF bonus: the true story of Grizzly Adams — and the wild life of Dan Haggerty, the man behind the beard. The holiday pre-season is in full effect. Bye Betches.

Hey Heal Squad! This week, Maria sits down with psychic medium, spiritual teacher, and author MaryAnn DiMarco, who breaks down how to actually build your intuitive muscles. We're learning to trust ourselves, even if you’ve spent most of your life doubting yourself.  Maria recalls a powerful moment from MaryAnn’s last visit on Heal Squad, when something she said ended up revealing itself later in Maria’s own health journey (you’ll have to tune in and find out!) and it sets the stage for a discussion you won’t forget. They talk about the difference between a gut hit and anxiety, how to work with your spirit team (yep, you have one!), and what to do when doubt starts clouding your inner voice. MaryAnn reminds us that intuition isn’t just a gift, it’s a skill you can strengthen, and it starts with making one small decision at a time. Whether you're learning to trust your gut, navigating grief, or just trying to figure out your next step in life, get ready for the tools to help you connect more deeply to yoursel

Hey Heal Squad! Today’s Heal in 10 is all about rebuilding trust, one of the hardest but most important parts of healing after betrayal… Rebecca Crews shares the truth about what it really takes to restore a relationship and shares her personal journey navigating her marriage to Terry Crews.

Hey, Heal Squad! On this week’s Sunday Set Up, Kev and Anne are taking inspiration from Mr. Rogers, breakfast cereals, and even social media detoxing to remind us of something simple but powerful: joy is underrated. They reflect on how a certain mindset can change the way we move through today’s world, especially when social media amplifies negativity. From routines and rituals that create calm to practicing gratitude, they dive into how perspective shapes our reality. And because healing also comes with lightness, they sprinkle in a little nostalgia that shaped our childhood mornings. It’s a fun yet grounding reminder that finding joy doesn’t have to be complicated, it just has to be intentional. Let’s step into the week with more lightness and clarity!  -- 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/membe

Hey, Heal Squad! We fooled 'em again and made it through another week to deliver you this Lonely Guy Friday edition of RGF. This week, Kev dives into the labels society puts on us (like ADHD or chronic illness), the labels we put on ourselves, and why they don’t have to define us. But also how those labels can still be helpful with a few important things in mind. He shares how shifting language and perspective can keep those labels from becoming limits, and how we can honor what’s real without surrendering to it. He also gets into the importance of doing a social media detox, clearing your feeds, muting what triggers you, and curating content that inspires instead of drains. Because sometimes the simplest reset can change your whole energy. PLUS, it wouldn’t be a Friday show without a little pop culture and life lessons mixed in… he’s also diving into why Fall is the best time to assess how you want to end the year.

Hey, Heal Squad! Today we’re joined by Rebecca Crews, singer, fashion designer, pastor, wife to Terry Crews, and breast cancer survivor, for an inspiring conversation about faith, intuition, and resilience. Rebecca takes us through her breast cancer diagnosis and double mastectomy during the height of the pandemic. She shares how trusting her gut and advocating for herself led to a life-saving discovery that doctors initially missed. Instead of collapsing into fear, she leaned on her faith, visualized her healing, and made empowered choices about her treatment, even saying “no” to medications that didn’t feel right for her body. PLUS, Rebecca opens up about the role of forgiveness in her marriage, and why persistence and faith are key to healing both body and soul. Her story is a reminder that you are stronger than you think, that intuition is a gift worth trusting, and that healing isn’t just about survival, it’s about living fully.

PLUS, Maria also opens up about her own recovery journey and how mobility training has been improved for her health, energy, and ability to keep up with Athena!  This episode is all about the easy, doable moves you can add into your day that will help you feel looser, stronger, and way more energized.

Hey, Heal Squad! We are joined by the real life ex-wife of the Wolf of Wall Street, Dr. Nadine Macaluso, and in this quick Heal in 10, she explains how trauma bonds form, why “high-functioning neurotics” often get stuck in toxic relationships, and how adaptive survival strategies from childhood like (people-pleasing or compartmentalizing) can end up keeping us trapped as adults. She also shares the truth about coercive control: it’s not always visible, but it works by belittling, micromanaging, threatening, and breaking someone down until they lose their sense of self. And here’s the empowering part, Dr. Nadine gives us the tools to start unwinding these patterns, from learning to say “no” to finally trusting that gut feeling we so often ignore. PLUS, we get into the science behind intuition,  including the vagus nerve and how your body actually warns you of danger before your mind catches up. If you’ve ever felt “crazy” in a relationship or questioned your own instincts, this episode will remind you: your

Hey Heal Squad! We’re back with another Sunday Setup, and this week, Kev is joined by the amazing Anne to talk about one of the most powerful tools in your healing journey: choice. From the power of choosing joy (even when it feels hard), to letting go of the performance mask so many of us wear, this episode is all about how to stop abandoning yourself and start honoring what your body, energy, and soul actually need. Kev and Anne get real about survival mode, nervous system burnout, and why slowing down isn’t weakness,  it’s wisdom. PLUS, the mindset shift that can help you step into your next chapter with clarity, calm, and confidence. Here’s to a great week, friends!  -- 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: Sh

Happy Friday, Regulars! This week’s RGF hits deep. Kev’s been doing the work in therapy, and he’s cracking open some big realizations… like why setting boundaries feels so uncomfortable, why we keep absorbing everyone else’s emotions, and why people act weird when we start changing. When you’ve spent your life being the fixer or the feeler, it’s hard to suddenly stop carrying the weight. But healing means learning to show up for yourself, too. Kev opens up about how he's finally learning to hold space for others without abandoning himself, and how he's navigating the emotional pushback that can come when we grow. It’s a reminder that saying “no” doesn’t make you selfish and growth isn’t always glamorous, but peace? Peace is worth it. Tune in, laugh with us, and remember… you’re not alone in this healing thing. 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.healsqua

Hey, Heal Squad! In today’s throwback, we’re diving into one of life’s greatest lessons: how to adapt when everything feels uncertain and the road ahead isn’t clear. Maria opens up about navigating change, identity shifts, and the unexpected waves that come with loss and growth. She shares the powerful reminder to “be like water”, flowing around life’s roadblocks instead of forcing your way through them. PLUS, we get into the importance of building a “challenge network” (thank you Adam Grant!), the honest voices in your life who call you forward instead of just telling you what you want to hear. Because growth doesn’t happen in comfort zones, it happens when you’re willing to hear the hard truths and take responsibility. If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like things aren’t happening as fast as you’d like, this conversation will help you breathe, surrender, and trust that you are exactly where you need to be. Flow, don’t force, Heal Squad, tune in! -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.i
