Happy Throwback Thursday Heal Squad! Do you feel like you’re always putting everyone else's needs before your own? Well, you're definitely not alone there - that's a challenge a lot of us face. But today, we're bringing back our conversation with actor, author, and mental health advocate Zachary Levi, and he is giving us practical lessons on how to start prioritizing self-love. You probably know him best from his role in the movie Shazam, but get ready to see a whole new side of Zach as he opens up about his own mental health journey. He talks about hitting rock bottom at 37 years old and having to rebuild himself from the ground up - dealing with traumas he'd been suppressing, battling anxiety and even the stigma around taking medication.

Zach shares incredible advice that could make a real difference for anyone looking to prioritize self-love, like the importance of choosing love over fear and having true empathy for others. Most importantly, he emphasizes why we have to put ourselves first, even when it feels selfish. Trust us, you're going to leave this episode feeling inspired and ready to give yourself the care you deserve.

Healers and Heal Liners:

Vulnerability is a superpower.
Loving and liking are two completely different things.
Empathy is the only thing that’s going to save us.
There’s only fear and love. All things spawn out of those two emotions, and we are operating out of too much fear.
Make sure your mask is on before you’re putting on anyone else’s mask.
Every single one of the problems we face on this earth can be traced to a broken heart and mind.
