Hey Heal Squad! Today is another edition of What Worked This Week and honestly…this episode is kind of all over the place in the best way possible. Maria is fresh out of “newborn support mode” after helping friends with a new baby over Mother’s Day weekend, and the conversation turns into everything from emotional motherhood moments, to fashion finds, to nervous system resets, to the random life hacks currently making life easier. We’re talking about the Zara loafers rich girls are secretly buying instead of designer shoes, the travel sneakers she wears through airports, the warm neck pillow helping calm her nervous system at night, and why she’s embracing “paying for convenience” to reduce stress while traveling, parenting, and juggling life. She also gives a health update after her El Salvador trip, including stabilizing her insulin levels again and noticing how reducing stress may be helping her body overall. The bigger theme of this episode though? Making life feel lighter. Maria opens up about learning to “pay for convenience,” why perfection is overrated, and how protecting your peace sometimes means finding easier, softer ways to move through life. She also shares the gift idea she’s officially replacing flowers with after too many disappointing deliveries,  including the personalized gift card that made her brother cry and why astrology sessions, healer appointments, and meaningful experiences are becoming her new favorite presents to give people. It’s fun, practical, emotional (a little chaotic!) and we hope you love it!

Happy Sunday Set Up , Heal Squad! This week, we’re coloring outside the lines a little as we dive into life force energy, nervous-system depletion, psychic heaviness, and why so many people today feel emotionally, physically, and spiritually drained. Inspired by a recent biofeedback session, Keven explores what ancient traditions called Qi, Prana, or vital force—and how modern stress, burnout, overgiving, guilt, survival mode, and toxic environments may quietly be crushing it.  We break down the real signs your life force energy may be low: exhaustion that sleep can’t fix, emotional numbness, brain fog, hypervigilance, feeling spiritually “dim,” and constantly carrying everyone else’s emotions. From nervous-system regulation and breathwork to creativity, purpose, sunlight, boundaries, and peace, we explore what actually restores vitality—and why true healing may be a lot less mystical and a lot more human than we think.

We even get a little woo woo. Psychic attack. Emotional contamination. Toxic people, moldy homes. hoarding, dark quarters, demonic energy - oh my!. This Sunday Set Up explores the strange ties to those items and loss of energy. And ultimately? Why opening a window, cleaning a room, speaking truth, setting boundaries, and reclaiming peace might be some of the oldest medicine there is.

Remember Heal Squad: the opposite of darkness isn’t fear. It’s awareness. Breath. Light. Movement. Truth. Open the windows. Protect your peace. And reclaim your life force. Have a bright energetic week!

Happy Saturday, Regular People — welcome to Potluck Saturday, where today we’re diving into OnlyFans, judgment, and why everyone seriously needs to calm down.

This week, we unpack how Shannon Elizabeth and Jaime Pressly joining OnlyFans says less about scandal and more about where the entertainment business is headed. We talk about how fame doesn’t always equal financial security, why talent can outlive the paycheck system Hollywood was built on, and how going directly to your audience may be the future for creators everywhere.

We also get into why judging other people drains your own energy, how women are still judged harder and punished faster, and why women who mirror behavior men have gotten away with for decades are suddenly labeled “difficult.” Plus, we explore how light can trigger darkness in other people, and why building your own world instead of waiting for approval may be the ultimate form of revenge.

Potluck Bonus: Gary Coleman, Bhad Bhabie’s bag of cash, Dog & Pony Show shoutouts, keyboard warriors, whether women can sometimes be meaner than men, and Max the dog weighing in with facts.

Hey Regular Guys and Gals, we did it again. We made it through another week!

Kelsey is back, the Queens anthem returns, and the dog-and-pony era is officially underway. This week, we dive into what happens when work, love, ambition, and friendship all collide while the metaphorical space shuttle is already taking off. We unpack why replacing “but” with “and” can completely shift your mindset, how the people who love you sometimes need to understand your redline seasons, and why protecting your fuel matters more than ever.

Plus: why dogs, comfort TV, projectors, and staying JFF can genuinely save your soul. We also get into Hollywood’s shifting power structure, why the old gatekeepers are losing control, and how a more open playing field may actually create better art, fresher voices, and a more exciting industry.

RGF Bonus: Kelsey’s Dog & Pony Show, Tony season trauma, bees as spiritual messengers, Blake/Justin discourse as old-school smut relief, favorite movie picks, and why sometimes the best way to stay connected to the people you love is to build something together. Bye bees

Hey, Heal Squad! If your knees have been talking, your hips feel tighter than they used to, or you’ve ever wondered if joint pain just comes with getting older… this Throwback Thursday is for you. Maria sits down with top orthopedic surgeon Dr. Jason Snibbe for a fascinating conversation about joint health, mobility, and what we can actually do now to protect our bodies long-term. They get into the everyday habits that may be doing more damage than we realize, the truth about cortisone shots, PRP, robotic-assisted joint replacements, and how to know when pain has crossed the line from manageable to something you actually need to address.

Dr. Snibbe also shares why muscle mass matters way more than most people think, how movement can either protect or break down your joints, and why joint replacement isn’t the scary “end of the road” people imagine… it can actually be a brand new beginning!

Hey Heal Squad! We're back with Part 2 of our conversation with Victoria Nelson—and today’s episode goes even deeper into the emotional aftermath of the skincare treatment that permanently scarred her, and the healing journey she’s still navigating every single day. Victoria opens up to Maria about being diagnosed with PTSD after the incident, and how the trauma didn’t just end when the treatment was over. She shares what it’s like living with the daily triggers, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and the painful reality of reliving the experience every time she looks in the mirror. She also talks about how therapy helped her finally understand that trauma is trauma, and why she had to stop minimizing her own pain just because it happened in a skincare setting. But what happened after Victoria spoke out publicly may shock you even more. Her inbox quickly filled with messages from other women, influencers, and even celebrities claiming they experienced similar burns, infections, and damaging treatments from the same esthetician. The conversation expands into the bigger issues within the beauty industry—lack of transparency, hidden complaints, overtrusting “experts,” and why so many people stay silent after something goes wrong.Most importantly, Victoria shares how she finally began healing her skin after years of aggressive treatments and false promises. This episode is about so much more than skincare. It’s about trauma, trust, advocacy, boundaries, and learning how to feel safe in your body again. And ultimately, it’s a reminder that becoming the CEO of your health means listening to your instincts, asking questions, and protecting yourself—even when the person in front of you is called the “expert.”

HEALERS & HEAL LINERS

• Trauma goes far beyond physical scars: Victoria opens up about her PTSD diagnosis, the daily emotional triggers she still lives with, and how deeply skin trauma can impact confidence, identity, and mental health.
• You have to advocate for yourself: One of the biggest lessons from Victoria’s journey is learning to trust your instincts, ask questions, and become the CEO of your own health, especially when something doesn’t feel right.
• There’s a lack of transparency in the beauty industry: After speaking out, Victoria heard from countless others with similar experiences, exposing larger concerns around provider oversight, hidden complaints, and consumer safety in the aesthetics world.

Hey, Heal Squad! Today’s episode is one of the most emotional and eye-opening conversations we’ve had in a while! In one of her first in-depth interviews about the experience, Victoria Nelson joins Maria to share the story behind the skincare treatment that permanently changed her life. What began as a routine facial appointment turned into a traumatic experience that left Victoria with lasting facial scars &  years of treatments to reverse the damage. Victoria walks us through exactly what happened the day the treatment went wrong… from the moment something foreign hit her skin to realizing something far more serious was happening. She opens up about the deep trust she built with a well-known esthetician that is now broken, how desperation to heal acne or any skin situation can make you vulnerable, and why so many people blindly trust beauty and wellness “experts” without doing the research. Maria and Victoria also dive into the emotional side of skin trauma and why this conversation is about so much more than vanity. This episode is ultimately a powerful reminder that you have to become the CEO of your own health… ask questions, do the research, trust your instincts, and never be afraid to advocate for yourself.

HEALERS & HEAL LINERS

• Blind trust can be dangerous,  even with someone you’ve known for years: Victoria shares how a long-term relationship with a trusted esthetician lowered her guard, and why  understanding treatments and advocating for yourself matters more than ever.
• This was about far more than “vanity.”: What started as an attempt to heal acne turned into permanent scarring, emotional trauma, and PTSD, showing how deeply skin, confidence, identity, and mental health are connected.
• You have to become the CEO of your own health: From researching providers and understanding credentials to getting second opinions and trusting your instincts, this episode is a reminder that no matter who the expert is, you still have to protect and advocate for yourself.

Happy Sunday! Welcome to Heal Squad's The Sunday Set Up. Life lessons to help you start the week. This week, we explore why peace is not weakness, passivity, or “rolling over” — it’s actually the body’s truth meter. Your mind can rationalize staying too long, overgiving, proving yourself, or carrying guilt and obligation. But your nervous system usually tells the truth much faster.

We talk about the difference between chaos and alignment, and why so many of us mistake anxiety, intensity, and emotional exhaustion for love, purpose, or responsibility. Keven shares why people who grew up managing tension and conflict often feel uncomfortable with real peace — because peace can feel unfamiliar when your nervous system has been trained for survival. But peace isn’t deadness. It’s a life where your goals, relationships, creativity, and ambitions no longer require constant self-erasure to maintain them.

We dive into how peace sharpens discernment, restores self-respect, and helps you hear your own voice again. From boundaries and hard conversations to letting go of guilt and people-pleasing, this week’s conversation is about learning to stop abandoning yourself just to keep external harmony. Because there’s a difference between being calm because you’re aligned… and being quiet because you’ve disappeared.

Remember, peace is not what remains after you disappear. It’s what becomes possible when you stop disappearing. Nothing here is permanent — except change. Let go and be present. Have a great week, Heal Squad!

Welcome to another Potluck Saturday! This week we get into the conversation surrounding the new Michael Jackson movie and the bigger issue underneath it… why modern culture seems unable to allow people to be complicated, flawed, talented, contradictory, and human all at once. We talk about the difference between understanding someone and endorsing everything they’ve ever done, the way social media has flattened people into heroes or villains, and why nuance seems to be disappearing from public conversation. From Michael Jackson to celebrity culture, fame, cancellation, and public perception, this episode explores what happens when a society loses the ability to hold two truths at the same time.

We also get into the psychology of fame, why so many gifted people are also deeply wounded, and how our discomfort with other people’s flaws often reflects our discomfort with our own. Along the way, we touch on pop culture, Hollywood, social media, self-improvement, and the pressure to appear perfect in a world that rewards outrage over honesty. Larry Bird teaches us that we generally only empathize with others that have had problems similar to ours. As always more to come....

Hey Regular Guys and Gals, we made it through another week! How funny, capable, overworked people slowly disappear inside loyalty, guilt, people-pleasing, and being “the strong one.” Why being needed is not the same as being loved. How guilt can become a cage, over-functioning can make you invisible, and people-pleasing is often just anxiety wearing a Hallmark sweater. How some people don’t die from drama… they die from swallowing it. Why boundaries aren’t cruel, why you don’t have to earn rest or tenderness, and how keeping the peace can quietly become self-abandonment with good manners.

How a smaller chapter does not mean a smaller life. And why the loneliest people are often the ones smiling, serving, joking, producing, and holding everything together while nobody notices their heart. “You can be kind without becoming furniture.” “Stop bringing your open wound to a closed door.” And why being the one who handles everything is a terrible way to audition for love.  RGF Bonus….how Florence Henderson would not let Kev disappear and lessons on recycling for millennials and Gen Z. Bye Betches!
