Hey Regular People, we fooled them again. We made it to another edition of Regular Guy Friday! Barbie movie mania, the creative, fun, and poignant depiction of society...and the differing reactions from men and women. What do you do when the #$@! runs downhill? For those battling ailments (and seeking Dragon's Blood), the Regular Guy 4 Part Program (Pro-grim) is revealed. The importance of breath work and breathing in healing. The question you should be asking your therapist. The question only a good therapist can answer.  Why young people 'wanting it all now' is nothing new and why, like everything today, the cries are just louder. Men are more likely to be cocky and 'wing it,' while women are more likely to be hesitant and fearful. RGF Bonus: Poojah's Pop Corner: what is Girl Dinner, who is Pinky Baby, what is 'code', and why you need to know to be popular?

Joining us are All Stars, Dr. Zach Bush, a respected physician and educator known for understanding the gut microbiome, health and the interconnectedness of all living systems. An acclaimed therapist, Nicole Sachs uncovers the powerful role that emotions play in our physical well-being and specializes in mind-body healing with her JournalSpeak™ technique.

Pain as a Catalyst for Realignment The Importance of Emotional Processing: long-standing traumas and unprocessed (unseen and unheard) emotions manifest illness.

"The only thing that can make us suffer is believing a thought that we haven't questioned." Healer and life coach Ryan Weiss sat in with the Heal Squad to open up on the two wolves that sit on each of our shoulders: one wolf that feeds off love and the other that feeds off fear and how vastly the one we feed dictates the quality of our lives. Ryan shares three steps to retrain your system to combat anxiety, the two basic needs that drive ALL our decisions, AND the two things we need to heal. Ryan covers how our true safety lies within our defenselessness and a revolutionary technique to apply when you feel your buttons are being pushed. Ryan defines what trauma is and how a time travel practice can alleviate the pains traumas leave behind. He discusses 'A Course In Miracles' and how ego is the loudest and first voice we hear. He shares a 4 question process for approaching conflict with others as well as what 'the Imposter Syndrome' is and how to avert it. Too much takeaway for one episode, this Heal Squad two-part episode provides so many healing and self-fulfillment life tools you can apply today toward. Enjoy part two of this two-part show! Many remain stuck in early phases of their spiritual journey. True spirituality goes beyond intellectual understanding.. Shadow work is essential: exploring dark aspects of self. Byron Katie's "The Work”: challenging the thoughts that cause suffering. Triggers offer valuable insights into unresolved issues and wounds. Listening, communicating and being present to foster healing. Success in any field requires hard work as well as self-care and self-reflection. Creating safe spaces for people to share stories and validate emotions is crucial. The ego is an imposter that creates a false sense of identity. Nature offers the opportunity to let go of the ego's illusion of separateness.

Hey Heal Squad, how often do you feel insecure, unsure, anxious, ashamed, and even that you're viewed as an "old" person? Many people, especially women throughout the years, feel like this. I'm not immune to any of it, but thanks to my guests on this All-Stars Edition, I know that plenty of remedies exist. Brooke Shields shares her journey to self-acceptance and how it's key to unlocking true potential and overcoming societal expectations and stereotypes due to age. Melissa Wood Tepperberg shares her practice of completely transforming herself in less than a year. Annie Lamott shows us how to pursue dreams and step into the shape that awaits us while practicing self-care, emphasizing the power of storytelling, and owning one's experiences to heal and connect with others. Brooke Shields "I'm not going to let you shake me. I'm just not going to give you that much power." Ageism and societal expectations: Aging brings relief, freedom, and power. Resilience and overcoming hardships: Setbacks do not define one's path. Seeking therapy and professional support is key. Cultivating a supportive network: People and professionals that ground you. External judgments and societal expectations do not define self-worth. Melissa Wood Tepperberg "Commit to yourself. Evolve to who I'm really meant to be, the best version of myself." The vital practice of Self-Observation. Commitment to Practice: The negative consequences of not doing self-work. The Mind-Body Connection and the role meditation plays in connecting them to heal. Evolving Identity: Constantly evolve toward your best version and do not allow anxiety or negative emotions to define you. Micro Moments of Self-Care to achieve macro results. Different practices work for different people. Anne Lamott "We're hungry for what we're not giving." Surrender is NOT weakness or giving up – it's aligning with goodness and love. Radical self-love and self-care are the first moves before extending that love to others. True, lasting fulfillment comes from giving, being of service, and filling the needs of others. The thing about honoring older generations. Hope through giving: Sharing love, kindness, and support creates a force field of hope and connection.

Patty and I covered a ton of ground in our sit-down: the need to be cautious when seeking guidance from psychics, the technique for reversing negative energy, the significance of energy and intuition in daily life and decision-making, the fun way to release pent-up emotions, the significance of prayer, the need for the right guides, and the value of surrounding yourself with those who see you. Patty's talk offers a lot in terms of helping you heal and survive but also thrive. I hope our discussion helps you as much as it did me. The importance of having people who see and support you. Not all psychics may have your best interests at heart. Reversing negative energy and beliefs others may impose on you. Tuning into mind and body intuition and paying attention to energetic cues. Valuing and establishing connections with trusted healers and guides. How to manifest a more fulfilling and joyful life. The value of seeking outside support. Coping mechanisms to release emotions and heal. The means and benefits of not dwelling on the past or longing for a different future. The need to acknowledge and address one's vulnerabilities.

How often do we hear about how our minds play tricks on us, how our minds can't stop racing, or how our minds can make us sick or well? The mind-body health connection is pretty much the cornerstone of Heal Squad. As some of you know, I've experienced firsthand how our minds can make us sick but also how they can heal us. Our brains are the control centers of our lives, influencing every aspect of our well-being, from memory and focus to mental resilience and happiness. The bottom line is that the mind is one powerful organ. Thankfully, the world's two leading brain health experts and Heal Squad All Stars, Jim Kwik, and Dr. Amen, are here to help us optimize brain function. We discuss the impact of nutrition, exercise, and sleep on cognitive well-being, debunk common brain health myths, offer memory-boosting exercises, and provide practical strategies for a healthier mind. Sure, this is a great episode for students and professionals, but it's also for anyone seeking to enjoy happiness, health, and prosperity. Jim Kwik is a global expert in accelerated learning, memory improvement, and optimal brain performance. Our potential is not fixed: our abilities can be enhanced with the right strategies and mindset. Self-talk DOES shape our reality. Difficult times can define, diminish, or develop us: attaining the latter. Learning how to learn is crucial: speed reading, memory techniques, and brain science to enhance learning abilities. Self-responsibility leads to power and unlocking full potential. Questioning is essential for growth: asking the RIGHT questions. Embracing a mindset of lifelong learning allows us to unleash genius. Psychiatrist and founder of the Amen Clinics, Dr. Amen has revolutionized the treatment of brain-related disorders, advocating for optimizing brain health through practical lifestyle changes and cutting-edge technology. Automatic Negative Thoughts (ANTs): Developing an internal "anteater" to combat negative thoughts. Focus determines feelings: retraining our brains can lead to purpose and happiness. Disinfect your thoughts: practicing mental hygiene. Physical stimulation to calm brain fear centers and promote emotional healing. Processing trauma through 'havening' to release emotional wounds. Managing the "Death Dragon" and accepting mortality leads to a more meaningful life. Daily habits to promote mental hygiene for mental health, well-being, and resilience.

So this is how Chat GPT described this week's RGF: '...a series of fragmented thoughts and conversations, making it difficult to provide a coherent summary...' So much for Artificial Intelligence then. Below are some notes from the show that hopefully make sense (and have takeaways) for you!  The music of John Hinkley jr? (the man who shot Ronald Reagan and his new solo career) People can't change BUT this is how they can evolve... Napoleon Hill, Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, and how profound teachings can come from those with personal flaws and questionable backgrounds  Seeing life in black and white: a growing trend and lack of maturity? Why you should have empathy for others' shortcomings  The serious ramifications when people don't see you  Who deserves your truth Why traumas and triggers can be useful Why you need to know your 'why' and also your 'why not' The video of the woman who saw a shapeshifter on a commercial flight  Artificial Intelligence falling in love with a NY Times writer  Launching the world's first AI Matchmaking Service  HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/heal-squad-x-maria-menounos/id1320060107 SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/2kXrmaNDQQ4i6prZe6LO89?si=2J2jLRd3RUedGPBgpVLrnQ HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Website: www.mariamenounos.com Curated Macy’s Page: www.macys.com/healsquad Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad?utm_med 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.

On this week's RGF we discuss how (and why) it's actually quite common for our companion animals to leave us when we are pregnant as our Heal Squad mascot, @princesswhinnie did last week. (20:25) We also discuss how studies indicate that every cell in your body is a receptor for every chemical AND every emotion, making emotional duress as harmful to your cells as any toxic chemical. Mind-body experts believe this has a big hand in the forming of cancers yet few practitioners address this when trying to heal patients. (33:20) On a lighter note, are destination weddings about the couple getting away or about the couple getting away from people they don't want to invite? (6:34) And for those who can't partake in #hotgirlsummer this first summer weekend, we have some TV talk and picks. (48:25) Peacock's #Bupkus series is the GenZ/Millennial #CurbYourEnthusiasm. HBO's #Idol seems real but isn't really. #90DayFiance continues to reinvent itself and reality TV production while #MarriedAbroad is more of the same, and why that's a good thing! Be sure to check out #HighDesert and #SomebodySomewhere as well. (11:00) Most importantly, remember 'Leon Day' is June 25th! Leon is Noel spelled backwards and the day is the halfway mark till Christmas. How will you be celebrating? Is anyone celebrating? (57:20) Help one another, learn from our mistakes and have a few laughs along the way. #RegularGuyFriday HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/heal-squad-x-maria-menounos/id1320060107 SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/2kXrmaNDQQ4i6prZe6LO89?si=2J2jLRd3RUedGPBgpVLrnQ HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com Curated Macy’s Page: https://www.macys.com/healsquad Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad?utm_med 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.

This is part two of our interview with a spiritual guide, teacher of psychic techniques and channeler of light, Laura Bushnell. In this episode, Laura explores the concept of magic - and finding one's own magic in life - while emphasizing the transformative power we all have within. Laura educates us on shamanic practices, earth magic, and the use of plant medicines for healing - particularly the use of ayahuasca for trauma healing and the profound insights/clarity it can provide. She highlights the significance of being one's own conduit for healing, listening to one's own inner guidance, allowing one's own source energy to guide and sweeping away emotional wounds to cultivate peace in order to receive clear messages from the heart and to heal. Laura also challenges the fear of death as healing can sometimes mean passing on or transitioning to the next life.

Lost your spark? In search of your true divinity. Seeking your life path and/or the courage to follow it? Laura Bushnell, spiritual guide, teacher of psychic techniques and channeler of light sits in with the Heal Squad to teach us how to unlock our own psychic gifts, surrender power, find divinity, connect to our own inner magic and discover our spark. Laura opens up about her major Kundalini experience after starting 'A Course in Miracles' and the shameful divorce that led to her giving away of all her possessions to find her true self. She explains the concept of giving and receiving, how abundance follows giving, seeing (and identifying) auras and how anyone can learn to see them. We learn how surrendering and trusting divine timing (including surrendering to hustle culture) is the most challenging but natural thing to do: it allows God and the universe to guide us toward our destiny. In addition, Laura opens up on the commercialization of spirituality, creating our heaven now along with meditations to find a relationship as well as our inner life magic. For anyone searching for a life spark, strength or path, this is a great listen Psychometrists tell you things from the future (2:40) Gifts develop from trauma, serve as protection (4:15) The power of giving away what you love (7:10) The mind wants to control, analyze, judge: the heart loves, forgives, creates (13:40) Surrendering against hustle culture onto the highest frequency (14:10) A lot of BS in the spiritual world: just get inspired, work and wait (15:40) Visualizing over manifesting: feeling the joy of something accelerates it's coming (17:10) How people fear freedom (23:00) Blessing our exes (26:25) Women find divinity through the men who disappoint them (27:50) Men find divinity only if women see it in them (28:10) 9/11 cracked people open: consciousness started spreading (29:50) Women's fears drive them to mediums (30:55) instagram.com/laurabushnell/ laurabushnell.com HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: @HealSquad TikTok: @HealSquadxMaria https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/heal-squad-x-maria-menounos/id1320060107 https://open.spotify.com/show/2kXrmaNDQQ4i6prZe6LO89?si=2J2jLRd3RUedGPBgpVLrnQ HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: www.mariamenounos.com Curated Macy’s Page: macys.com/healsquad Amazon Storefront: https://www.amazon.com/shop/mariamenounos?linkCode=spc&tag=bettertoge00a-20 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad?utm_med 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.

iJustine opens up about her personal journey with thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS). However, this episode is for you, or any loved one suffering with this OR any disease/life altering diagnosis or for that challenging diagnosis to come. Despite facing skepticism from doctors, iJustine's acute self-awareness and unwavering persistence led to a correct diagnosis and treatment. iJustine teaches us how to navigate negative doctors AND how to listen to our own bodies - where ultimately the answers and truth lie. She teaches us to trust the answers and the truth that comes from our bodies as well as our instincts, over everything! We also explore the significance of support systems. From her time in the hospital to the risks of treatment, iJustine's story sheds light on the challenges of keeping health issues a secret (as many of us often do due to fear) and the relief (and healing) that comes with sharing them and raising awareness.
