Sunday Set Up Ep. 49: Grief, Showing Up & Not Sweating the Small Stuff
Happy Sunday! Welcome to Heal Squad's The Sunday Set Up. Life lessons to help you start the week. This week, we explore what really matters. We talk about why some people embrace solutions while others resist them, and why bringing positivity into the room isn't always met with the enthusiasm we expect. We talk about grief, how differently we all process loss, and why the greatest act of kindness is often the simplest like showing up, lending a hand, or quietly taking something off someone's plate. We talk about "inflatable boyfriends," cold cut platters as the ultimate sympathy gift, and Bill Murray's unforgettable reminder from Meatballs: "It just doesn't matter." Because when you're faced with loss, so many of the things we spend our days worrying about suddenly seem very small. This week, ask yourself: What am I giving too much energy to? Who simply needs me to show up? And what would change if I remembered that so much of what stresses me out... just doesn't matter? Have a great week. We'll Talk Shawtly.

PotLuck Saturday: Hobby Stores of Yesterday and Today
Happy Pot Luck Saturday! Hobby Lobby, Michaels, Jo-Ann Fabrics, homemade Batman costumes, and somehow... balloons and refreshments all make the conversation. We talk about the battle for the last remaining hobby stores, the disappearance of Jo-Ann Fabrics, model trains, slot cars, Shrinky Dinks, Play-Doh, paint-by-numbers never being completed, and the hobbies that kept us busy long before screens took over. We talk about Silver Spoons, Mr. Rogers, department stores we miss, toys we couldn't wait to get, and why introducing kids to the classics might be the best way to make sure they don't disappear. It's a Pot Luck Saturday with homemade Batman costumes, childhood hobbies, classic television, Danish, balloon bouquets, and the return of the refreshment table. We'll talk Shawtly!

RGF Ep. 285: What We Lose When We Succeed
Happy Regular Guy Friday! We fooled them again and somehow made it through another week. This week we talk about the back-to-school season, why childhood excitement doesn't seem to come as easily anymore, and whether having everything all the time has quietly stolen some of the joy of looking forward to something. We talk about why anticipation may be one of life's greatest gifts—and why sometimes the best memories weren't about what we got, but what we couldn't wait for. We also talk about Child World, KB Toys, Christmas traditions, RGF Observations from Pompeii, why archaeologists intentionally leave discoveries for future generations, and whether maybe we should leave a little something for ourselves to look forward to as well. We talk about the difference between friends who cheer you on and friends who keep score, why giving people room to grow is one of the greatest gifts you can give them, and how constantly waiting for "someday" can quietly steal the life you're living today. We talk about The Bad News Bears, backyard drama, fake work questions, Victim Con needing a rebrand, bar stool observations, and why sometimes the healthiest thing you can do is stop counting the days until retirement and start finding a little more peace in the one you're already living.

1325. How Maria’s First Month of Motherhood Taught Her to Embrace the Imperfect
Hey, Heal Squad! Today we're throwing it back to a very special chapter in Maria’s journey: Athena’s first month! We know she just turned 3, but thought it’d be fun to visit Maria and Keven shared the joys, surprises, and lessons of new parenthood. They share Athena’s incredible birth story (she is totally destined for something big!) and the meaning behind her name, to building a support system, documenting those precious early moments, and even wondering whether a sibling could be in her future. It’s a sweet reminder to embrace the imperfect moments, lean on your community, and soak up the memories that go by way too fast! Hope you enjoy!

1324. Whitney Cummings on Protecting Your Energy, NAD+ & Why Vague Health Goals Keep You Stuck
Hey, Heal Squad! Whitney Cummings is back for Part 2 and somehow the conversation gets even better. It honestly feels like you're sitting in on two friends swapping life hacks, laughing until they cry, and accidentally dropping some of the best advice you've heard in a while. Whitney shares the surprisingly simple mindset that's helped her stop feeling so overwhelmed (wait until you hear her "energy dollars" analogy...it's genius!) Then a story you haven’t heard…Whitney admits she used to do clinical drug trials for as a broke comedian in LA, which then led to getting her thoughts on the supplement world, who's actually behind these vitamin companies, and a Rob Schneider story that you will not see coming. Plus, Maria and Whitney get into the wellness things we've all been doing that might not be what we think they are, chat about the state of the entertainment industry and why laughter might be the most underrated form of healing. Funny, smart, a little chaotic, and completely worth it. Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Treat Your Energy Like Money. Whitney explains her "energy dollars" system: a simple way to stop overcommitting, protect your peace, and let go of guilt when your tank is empty. Stop Adding More, Start Simplifying. Instead of chasing every wellness trend, Whitney shares why making one small change at a time (“pick one”) and trusting your own body leads to better health. The State of The Industry. Whitney explains why today's creators no longer need Hollywood's permission and why connecting directly with your audience is changing entertainment for the better.

1323. Whitney Cummings UNFILTERED: Why ADD Is a Superpower, How Postpartum Depression Crept In + Trusting Your Intuition in Wellness
Hey, Heal Squad! We have one of the funniest women in comedy in the studio today….Whitney Cummings! You know her as the creator and star of Whitney, 2 Broke Girls, and the host of the hit podcast Good For You. But today, you're getting a side of Whitney you don't see very often. She kicks things off by sharing the incredibly sweet reason she's admired Maria for years (seriously...it had us all emotional on Maria's birthday!), and from there, the conversation goes everywhere…but in the best way possible.We dive into motherhood after 40, postpartum depression, ADHD, anxiety, Hollywood's impossible beauty standards, female insecurities, navigating the overwhelming wellness world, even Spencer Pratt (yeah, somehow he gets into the convo!). Whitney is as hilarious as you'd expect, but she's also incredibly thoughtful and vulnerable, sharing the ways that helped her heal from childhood trauma and embrace this next chapter of life. It's funny, raw, validating, and one of those conversations that leaves you feeling a little lighter after listening. Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS "Drop the Charges." Whitney shares the mindset shift that helped her let go of childhood resentment, find peace, and stop carrying the weight of her past. Postpartum Wasn't the End, It Was a Software Update. Whitney gets candid about postpartum depression, brain fog, and why reframing that season changed the way she healed. The Power of Mindset. From therapy and placebo to reframing difficult seasons, Maria and Whitney discuss how changing the story you tell yourself can completely change your healing.

1322. How to Clear Emotional Clutter PLUS Barefoot Workouts, a Sinus-Clearing Hack + Digital Tricks For Your Sanity
Hey Heal Squad! Maria is back with another What Worked This Week! And before we get to the heart of this episode (hint, hint: the post-vacation “re-entry blues”), she’s sharing five things that genuinely made a difference for her this week, literally from head to toe. First up: a bee sting that accidentally turned into a barefoot strength-training breakthrough, a $4 at-home congestion hack that helped knock out a stubborn head cold, the Notes app system she wishes she had created years ago, plus a label-maker hack currently saving her cords around the house and the clean-up tool on the Iphone. On their own, these things may seem small, but Maria realized they were all doing the same thing: clearing something that was creating unnecessary noise.And that led to a much bigger realization. What if the reason you feel overwhelmed, off, or just not like yourself isn't because something is wrong, but because something needs to be cleared? After coming home from vacation, Maria found herself surrounded by physical clutter and dealing with what she calls the “re-entry blues.” But when she finally stopped pushing, gave herself permission to cry, and sat with what she was feeling, she realized the clutter around her wasn't actually what was weighing her down. There was emotional clutter underneath it all that needed clearing too.We get into why exhaustion isn't always physical, how to figure out what actually needs your attention, the questions Maria uses to recalibrate when she feels off, and why sometimes you have to stop trying to be productive and tend to yourself instead. Plus, Maria shares how her own “Guide Back to You” helped remind her of the tools, truths, and wisdom she already had when she needed them most.Because sometimes getting clear isn't about doing more or fixing yourself. It's about clearing what's in the way so you can finally hear yourself again. Enjoy!

Sunday Set Up Ep. 48: Preparing for the Future
Happy Sunday! Welcome to Heal Squad's The Sunday Set Up. Life lessons to help you start the week. This week, we explore what it means to prepare for a world that's changing faster than ever. We talk back-to-school traditions, how technology has transformed the way we learn, and why AI may force us to rethink what education should really be teaching. We talk integrity, the surprising lesson that successful criminals work alone, and why the better path is building with people instead of taking advantage of them. We explore the idea behind "Poor Dad, Rich Dad," and why helping someone else's dream succeed can ultimately create more opportunity than trying to steal it. We talk encyclopedias, libraries, microfiche machines, Sears catalogs, hobby stores, and why back-to-school just doesn't feel the same when it starts in the middle of summer. This week, ask yourself: In a world where information is everywhere, what kind of person am I becoming? Have a great week. We'll Talk Shawtly.

RGF Ep. 284: Elevating Conversations and the Problem with Condo Life
Hey Heal Squad! It’s Friday and somehow, once again, we fooled them and made it through another week. This week, a little 1926 jazz turns into a conversation about why the world doesn't seem to change the way it used to, the art of thinking ahead, and whether we've forgotten how to make small talk interesting. We introduce a few new RGF Observations and discover that "air pudding" might be the perfect description for conversations that leave you completely drained. We talk about building for the future, condo life versus country life, energy vampires, the newly invented civilian alarm, lingering house guests, and why curiosity will always beat talking about tomorrow's weather. We talk about 1926 jazz records, Oldsmobile Toronados, paper towels hidden from the Tyrannosaurus Rex, airplane tickets booked a year in advance, and why maybe the best thing we can all bring to a conversation isn't another complaint...it's an interesting observation.

1321. Still Sick After Treating Mold? The Hidden Lyme Disease Connection + How to Heal w/ Dr. Christopher Motley
Hey, Heal Squad! Today we're throwing it back to one of our most eye-opening conversations with Dr. Christopher Motley, a leading expert in functional kinesiology and Chinese medicine. If you've been following our recent episodes on mold toxicity, this is the perfect next listen because mold and Lyme disease often go hand in hand, sharing many of the same frustrating symptoms. Dr. Motley explains the surprising ways Lyme can enter the body, why so many people never fully recover, and the hidden role blocked drainage pathways play in keeping you sick. From EMFs, heavy metals, and mold toxicity to trapped emotions, he reveals how these invisible stressors overwhelm your body, disrupt your lymphatic system, and prevent true healing. We also dive into how trauma can become stored in your organs, what viruses like Epstein-Barr have to do with fatigue and hormone imbalances, and why restoring your body's Qi (your electromagnetic life force) may be one of the missing pieces to lasting wellness. If you've been doing everything "right" but still don't feel like yourself, this throwback episode will help you connect the dots and finally understand what could be keeping your body stuck.

1320. 3 Ways to Detox Mold, the Tests to Ask For + How to Clean Up Your Home w/ Dr. Amy Myers
Hey, Heal Squad! We're back with Part 2 of our must-listen conversation with Dr. Amy Myers…and this one is where we get into everything you actually DO about mold toxicity Dr. Amy walks Maria through the tests you actually need for mold toxicity, the detox protocol she uses in her own life to pull mycotoxins out of the body, and exactly how to clean up your environment (think dehumidifiers to HEPA filters to the food swaps that matter) …without having to build a mold-resistant house from scratch like she did. We also talk about simple things like how sweating daily, moving your bowels, and drinking filtered water aren't extras… they're detoxing. This is a great episode and playbook on what you can control with some amazing tools. So save this one and come back to it every time you move, renovate, travel, or feel a little "off" and can't figure out why. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS The tests to actually ask for (and the ones missing the real problem): Dr. Amy’s full testing playbook includes starting with the HLA-DR gene test (available through LabCorp), the urine mycotoxin panel that shows what your body is excreting, the ERMI dust test that catches what standard mold air tests miss, and the specific immune markers (VEGF, C4A, MMP) that Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker uses to flag mold toxicity. She also names the mold inspector she trusts with her life! The 3 things Dr. Amy takes to get mold out of her body: Dr. Amy shares the exact 3-supplement stack she uses to detox mycotoxins: (1) acetylated glutathione, the number-one detoxifier in the human body, (2) a liver support supplement to help your liver process what's coming out, and (3) activated charcoal to bind the toxins and pull them out through your bowel movements. Then she connects it to the bigger picture : why infrared saunas, sweating daily, staying hydrated, and moving your bowels 1 to 3 times a day are the mechanisms doing the actual heavy lifting. How to clean up your environment (and what to eat) without moving out: Dr. Amy closes with her "control what you can" list of habits she runs every day to lower her exposure. Start with a HEPA filter in your bedroom (where you spend 8 to 10 hours a day). Add a dehumidifier to keep humidity under 35%, and empty it out regularly so it doesn't become the problem. Filter your drinking water AND your shower water. Eat organic at home so your body can handle whatever the outside world throws at you. Watch out for fast furniture and imported wool rugs. And the biggest one nobody wants to hear: SWEAT DAILY!

1319. The Do's & Don'ts of Mold Toxicity: Why Women Are Getting Sick and No One's Testing for It w/ Dr. Amy Myers
Hey, Heal Squad! It feels like mold is everywhere these days...but how much of what we're hearing is actually true? That's exactly why we were so excited to welcome our friend of the pod, Dr. Amy Myers, back to Heal Squad. Dr. Amy is an internationally acclaimed functional medicine physician, 2x New York Times bestselling author (The Autoimmune Solution and The Thyroid Connection), founder of Austin UltraHealth, and host of the Take Back Your Health podcast. But here's what makes this conversation hit differently...mold toxicity is deeply personal for Dr. Amy. She's lost everything to mold three-and-a-half times. She's been diagnosed with PTSD. She flew in a trauma specialist to help her heal. And she is telling us everything she wishes she had known sooner.Today, Maria and Dr. Amy break down the biggest do's and don'ts of mold toxicity.This is the one you're going to want to send to everyone you know. We get into why toxic mold is so different from everyday household mold, why water-damaged buildings are the real hidden culprit, the gene 1 in 4 people carry that means their body literally can't clear mold (and why women are hit so much harder than the men living in the same house), why women are so often dismissed when mold is the underlying issue, and the surprising places mold loves to hide...even when you can't see it. The best part? Dr. Amy doesn't just tell us what to watch out for…she shares the simple habits she uses in her own home to help prevent mold before it becomes a problem, along with practical ways to lower your risk without living in fear. Trust us...this conversation will have you looking at your home a little differently, and it might just explain symptoms you've never been able to connect. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS The biggest mold do's and don'ts every homeowner should know: From why she avoids front-loading washing machines and installs leak detectors under every sink, to the mistake people make when buying brand-new homes and the difference between everyday mold and water-damaged buildings, Dr. Amy shares the practical habits she follows to protect her home…without living in fear. Women aren't crazy...they're being dismissed: Mold symptoms often look like anxiety, burnout, thyroid issues, brain fog, or perimenopause(1 in 4 people carry a gene (HLA-DR) that means their body literally cannot clear the toxins. Women are hit hardest.).. Instead of asking, "What's wrong with my body?" Dr. Amy says more women should be asking, "Could my home be making me sick?" It's a simple question that could uncover the hidden root of symptoms often blamed on hormones, stress, or aging. Dr. Amy built a mold-resistant dream home from the ground up and STILL got hit: If it can happen to her, it can happen to any of us, and that's exactly why you need to hear what she wishes she had known sooner.

PotLuck Saturday: The Forgotten Ecosystem That Raised Us
Happy Pot Luck Saturday! This week we're taking a nostalgic trip back to a childhood that looked very different from today. Before Google, smartphones, YouTube, and social media, so much of what shaped us came from the simple things: magazines in the waiting room, books from the library, classroom reading cards, puzzles at the kitchen table, and the freedom to be bored enough to let our imaginations take over. We're unpacking the forgotten ecosystem that quietly raised an entire generation and asking what we've gained, what we've lost, and what might be making a comeback. From the child psychologists behind the "Fun with a Purpose" philosophy to the surprising lessons hidden inside games like Hidden Pictures and Goofus & Gallant, Kev explores how these small moments built focus, curiosity, empathy, and a lifelong love of learning. PLS bonus! AI articles, the truth about negative online comments and bots and why physical books and magazines may be more attractive to this new gen.

LGF Ep. 283:The Life-Changing Online Personality Test
Happy International Lonely Guy Friday, broadcasting from Athens with limited Greek, Coke Zero investigations, and billion-dollar brains. Today Kev gets into how one of Greece’s biggest stars proves you don’t need the biggest audience (you need the right niche!), and how a working vacation led to a humbling realization that the world’s most fulfilled people share one uncommon trait: extraordinary self-awareness. He chats how the Enneagram goes beyond describing what you do and uncovers why you do it: what you fear, what drives you, and how your personality changes under stress. How the same behavior can come from completely different emotional engines, and why understanding those motives can transform relationships, leadership, and even your family. Then, how your greatest strength can quietly become your greatest limitation and how replacing “That’s just who I am” with “That’s the strategy I learned to use” can completely change how you see yourself. Kev also discovers he’s a Type 2 Helper with strong Achiever and Challenger traits and why that explains a lifetime of building, protecting, overextending, and occasionally forgetting himself along the way. Plus, how successful families hold regular meetings to improve their relationships, why awareness is the ultimate competitive advantage, and why there are people in the castle and equally valuable people on the ground. Also, why simply showing up opens unexpected doors … and why the opportunity you’re waiting for may already be waiting for you. Bye Betches!

Summer is still going and we thought it’d be great for this TBT to throw it back to an episode all about the “Summer of Heal.” In this episode, Maria shares the simple habits, mindset shifts, and daily practices that have made a real difference in both her mental and physical well-being. It's a reminder that healing doesn't always come from one big life-changing moment, sometimes it's the small, intentional choices we make every single day that create the biggest transformation. However you spend the rest of your summer, don't forget to make time for yourself, you deserve it!

1316. 4 Life-Saving Water Safety Tips to Prevent Drowning + Protect Your Family w/ Pamela Baldwin
Hey Heal Squad! Today's conversation is SO important… especially as we are in the middle of summer! Friends… did you know that drowning is the leading cause of death for children ages 1 to 4? Wild, right? We protect our children with the safest car seats, seat belts, and vehicles available, yet when it comes to water, many families don't have the same layers of protection. So this summer, let's make our backyards safer. And save some lives while we're at it.Today we are joined by Pamela Baldwin, a swim instructor with over 25 years of experience and the founder of FINtastic Swim School. Maria has been taking swim and water safety intensives with her recently, and it sparked one of the most eye-opening experiences of her life. In this episode, Pam breaks down everything we think we know about water safety and where we're getting it wrong. We talk about what drowning actually looks like (nothing like the movies), why your pool fence isn't enough on its own, the safety equipment every pool owner needs within arm's reach, and the one thing you bring to the pool every single time that you trust completely… that could actually make things worse.We also do a full myth-or-fact on swim safety, and we talk about the profound Drowning in Silence….the documentary we are asking every single one of you to watch. It is hard. It is beautiful. It will change you. And if this episode sparks any safety action in you, be sure to shop Pam's W.A.T.E.R. Ambassador Essentials. These are the tools and resources every family should have to protect the people they love most around any body of water. Because let's be real… water safety starts with a conversation. So start the conversation today and help create a safer tomorrow.#StartTheConversationToday #IAmWaterAware #WaterSafety #DrowningPrevention #WATERAmbassador HEALERS & HEAL LINERS 4 Water Safety Tips To Protect Your Family: Recognize what drowning actually looks like, it's silent, not splashing; Identify what's keeping your child safe versus what's giving you false security; Equip your pool with the right safety tools; Learn CPR and build a family emergency action plan before you need one Drowning doesn't make a sound. In real life drowning is fast, it is silent, and it almost always happens with someone nearby, 88% of the time, in fact. The single most powerful thing you can do is understand what it actually looks like. Telling one person what you learned today is an act of love. Water safety starts with awareness, but it doesn't end there. Every conversation, every added layer of protection, and every swim lesson makes a difference. Text this episode to a parent, a grandparent, or a neighbor with a pool. Pam has spent 25 years trying to reach families one at a time.
