LGF Ep. 257: When Kindness Is the Rebellion
Hey Regular Guys and Gals, we did it again and made it through another week! This week, Kev takes a look at how punk rock used to mean rage… but now? Maybe kindness is the real rebellion. A reflection on how Iggy Pop went from chaos to calm, and why Superman (not Batman) might actually be the hero we need right now. How real success isn’t found in likes or headlines, but in Target pretzels, your dad’s corner store coffee, and creating something that makes people feel less alone. Why detaching from outcomes often brings better ones, and how letting the old way die sometimes makes space for the truer path. RGF bonus: Dustin Hoffman on what real success actually looks like, Larry Bird’s beer-fridge dream, ‘Kev On the Scene’ with Karamo Brown skipping the press tour, Bowie’s Heroes, and how you can be one too… just for one day! 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.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 EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/host AUDIBLE:  https://audible.com/healsquad AG1: drinkag1.com/healsquad  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.

1218. How To Use Fear & Rise To Your Highest Power w/ Koya Webb
Hey Heal Squad! We’re throwing it back to one of our most soulful, grounding conversations about fear, healing, and what it really means to live from love instead of survival mode. Maria sits down with holistic health coach, yoga teacher, and author Koya Webb to explore how fear isn’t something to run from, it’s feedback guiding you toward deeper healing and self-trust. Koya breaks down how unresolved fear, trauma, and emotional suppression show up in the body, relationships, and even illness… and why aligning with love is the foundation of real healing. They also dive into topics about turning obstacles into growth, releasing stored emotional energy, and using simple daily practices to come back into balance. It’s all about choosing yourself a little more each day and your highest self is already within reach!

1217. From Suicide & Shame to Self-Acceptance: Celebrity Hairstylist Chris Appleton’s Story
JAN 20, 2026
1217. From Suicide & Shame to Self-Acceptance: Celebrity Hairstylist Chris Appleton’s Story
Hey Heal Squad! Today Chris Appleton is with Maria and if you thought you knew his story… think again. Beyond the exterior of being a celebrity hairstylist (he’s worked on some of the most iconic women in the world like Jennifer Lopez, Kim Kardashian, and Ariana Grande), Chris is opening up about a side of his life the world has rarely heard. In this episode, Chris goes deep into the generational trauma, childhood labels, and bullying that shaped him at age six, and the years he spent abandoning himself in order to perform for the world. He also speaks candidly about the night he tried to take his life after coming out: a moment that was both devastating and, shockingly, the beginning of his reinvention. But Chris’s story doesn’t end there. He was rescued, and that moment became his second chance to live authentically. This is all detailed in his new book, Your Roots Don’t Define You, and reminds all of us that becoming who you really are is always worth the fight. If you’re on your own path of  transformation, this is a must-listen. Just a heads up, it’s a very honest and vulnerable conversation, so please listen with care.  HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Reinvention Begins With Returning to Yourself: Chris reminded us that reinvention is about going back to the version of yourself you’ve abandoned & real transformation begins when we choose to see ourselves without apology.  How to Break Generational Patterns: Trauma can get passed down quietly through silence, survival, and emotional suppression. But healing can move forward through awareness, therapy, and refusing to live by the labels you were given. It can stop with YOU!

1216. Maria’s 4 Question Check-In Ritual for Better Energy, Focus & Flow
Hey Heal Squad! Last week Maria talked about getting her mojo back, but this week she’s sharing how she’s making sure it never leaves her again! And it all starts with one of the best, simple morning rituals that’s so easy, it almost feels too good to be true. Literally, 4 questions to ask yourself before the day begins! What are they? Listen to find out… Maria is also sharing a sweet life update with Athena that includes a surprisingly deep (and hilarious) makeup question she hit her with the other day. Moms, trust us, this one’s going to make you think. PLUS, Maria has 3 hacks she’s using to start her mornings with more intention (so the day doesn’t run her, she runs it)! Yup, it's been a new season of flow, organization, ease, because here’s what we know, when we shift our energy, we begin to change our reality.

Sunday Set Up Ep. 28: The Universe Responds to Your Frequency
Happy Sunday Set Up, Heal Squad! This one’s about how we move through Sundays, some of us needing to rest, some of us needing to stay busy, and how that ties into the bigger conversation around authenticity and integrity. About choosing what actually feels aligned for you instead of what you think you “should” be doing. We also get into frequency and vibration… how life tends to respond to the energy we’re carrying more than the actions we take, and what it looks like to let go of guilt, trust your own contribution, and head into the week a little clearer. We’ll talk shawtly!   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 EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/maria  AG1: https://www.drinkag1.com/healsquad Use code: HEALSQUAD 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.
