Heal Squad x Maria Menounos

Welcome to another Potluck Saturday! This week we get into Netflix's The Crash and the tragedy at the center of it. We dive deep into the dark side of Kween Culture. We talk about social media validation, instant gratification, the inability to hear the word "no," and what happens when a generation is raised to believe every feeling deserves immediate action and every desire deserves immediate fulfillment. We talk about whether The Crash is really about one girl—or whether it's a reflection of a much larger cultural shift. How boundaries, responsibility, purpose, and consequences may be disappearing from modern life. How work, struggle, and having something meaningful to strive for might be more important than we realize. And why having everything you want doesn't necessarily make you happy—it might actually leave you bored, restless, and looking for the next dopamine hit. Plus… SPOILER ALERT! on The Pizza Movie which may just be the greatest  movie ever made. Talk Shawtly!

Happy Lonely Guy Friday (with a little Regular Guy Friday mixed in when Kelsey joins Kev later in the  'progrim')! Today, Kev explores why so many of our core beliefs are formed before we're even teenagers—and why changing them later in life (like 35-55) can feel so difficult. He breaks down how researchers think every generation thinks they've changed a lot in the past decade but won't change much in the next one - and why it's a lie. Plus, why nearly half of what we do every day is driven by habit, the real reason personal growth stalls, and why self-awareness—not more information—is often the key to transformation. Kev shares why major life events, identity shifts, and even heartbreak can become powerful catalysts for change, and why lasting growth comes from repetition, not one big breakthrough. He also dives into how survival mode can make us forget the lessons we've already learned, why we all need periodic emotional tune-ups, and how the right community can help us become the people we're trying to be. We also tackle  multitasking, people-pleasing, and how constantly putting everyone else first may be getting in the way of your biggest dreams. Then a discussion on one of life's most pressing questions: what's the difference between the people at the Oscars, Emmys, and Tonys? Bye Betches.

Hey Heal Squad! On Monday’s show, Maria mentioned this conversation and we knew we had to bring it back. This Throwback Thursday episode with Lauren Roxburgh completely changed the way we think about healing, stress, trauma, and the body. Lauren is a renowned fascia expert, movement therapist, and bestselling author who breaks down the fascinating connection between fascia, the nervous system, stored emotions, and overall health. She explains how trauma, stress, and even the emotions we think we've "moved on from" can get stored in the body, why so many of us are stuck in fight-or-flight without realizing it, and what it actually takes to release those patterns and feel lighter, calmer, and more connected to ourselves. Maria and Lauren also dive into the pelvic floor, the mind-body connection, intuition, and why healing isn't just about thinking differently, it's about feeling differently. This episode is packed with insights you'll be thinking about long after it ends!

Hey, Heal Squad! We’re back with Part 2 of our chat with TOMS founder Blake Mycoskie.  After years of depression and feeling disconnected from himself, Blake realized something surprising: the life he had built no longer matched the person he really was. In this conversation, he shares the exercise that helped him identify where he was living out of alignment, why he traded a lifestyle that looked successful on paper for one that actually felt authentic, and how learning to stop performing for the world helped him reconnect with himself. Maria and Blake also get into one of the biggest questions we should all be asking ourselves: Are we living the life we truly want—or the life we think we're supposed to want? Together, they talk about why turning 40 can be the perfect time to reevaluate everything, from where you live and who you surround yourself with to how you define success, happiness, and purpose. You'll also hear some of the lighter moments from Blake's healing journey—including the story behind his new "You Are Enough" tattoo, why Matthew McConaughey challenged him to take himself out on a solo dinner date, and the simple practices that help keep him grounded today.This episode is packed with 5 daily practices to build a life that feels like yours.  They also dive into the lessons Blake is learning from guests on his new podcast No Magic Pill, the daily practices that keep him grounded, and his new movement We Are ENOUGH. Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS 5 ways to live in alignment with who you really are. Use an alignment journaling exercise, take yourself out to dinner, establish a morning routine, wear a daily reminder (bracelet, tattoo, object you can see), repeat the "I am enough" mantra meditation Loneliness at the top isn't about success—it's about disconnection. The more we perform for validation, the less connected we become to ourselves and the people around us. Healing often requires rebuilding. From where you live to who you spend time with, Blake explains why real transformation sometimes means having the courage to start over.

Hey, Heal Squad! Today, Maria sits down with Blake Mycoskie, the founder of TOMS Shoes…ya know… the company that helped change social entrepreneurship forever! Blake built TOMS into a global movement... giving 100 million pairs of shoes to children in need and helping create the "buy one, give one" model that reshaped how a generation thinks about business. From the outside, it looked like he had it all, but behind the scenes, Blake was quietly battling depression. He was disconnected from his purpose, and forced to confront a painful truth: even after achieving everything he thought would make him happy, he still didn't feel enough. At his lowest point, he came close to ending his life. In this incredibly honest conversation with Maria , Blake opens up about the hidden pressure of success and why so many high achievers tie their self-worth to what they accomplish. He shares how dark things became, the moment he realized he needed help, and the surprising practice that helped him begin to rewire decades of negative beliefs and start healing from the inside out. Maria and Blake also explore a concept that will stay with you long after this episode ends: the difference between performing and truly connecting. Together, they unpack why success can sometimes leave us feeling more disconnected than ever, how to recognize when you're chasing validation instead of fulfillment, and why so many people quietly struggle with purpose, identity, and feeling "not enough." They also touch on Blake's new movement, We Are ENOUGH, his mission to support mental health, and what he's learning through the vulnerable conversations he's having on his new podcast, No Magic Pill. This is one of the most honest conversations we've had about depression, so please listen with care. And remember,  if you or someone you love is struggling, call or text 988, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS You can never do enough to be enough. It has to come from within: Healing began when Blake stopped trying to earn his worth through accomplishments and started believing he was already worthy. Ask yourself: Am I connecting or am I performing?: One of Blake's biggest breakthroughs was recognizing that genuine connection gives him energy, while constantly performing for others leaves him depleted. Success can become a coping mechanism. Blake realized that achievement, money, impact, and recognition were never going to heal the deeper belief that he wasn't enough.
