Regular Guy Friday Ep. 228: How Narcissists Avoid Accountability
It’s Friday and we fooled them again—made it through another week to bring you another edition of Regular Guy Friday! This week we talk fireworks, frauds, and Fourth of July reflections. From summer scams to seagulls with side agendas, we unpack what it means to take one on the chin—literally and metaphorically. We talk the new Hollywood hustle, where the old power players are now scrambling for relevance, and the real stars are influencers, podcasters, and yes—narcissist hunters. We explore the emotional weight of victimhood, why so few people take accountability, and the rare redemption in doing just that.
Plus, some real talk about shame, embarrassment, and the importance of sharing your worst moments if it means someone else can avoid them. From wiring money to a fake landlord to almost buying a scam car off Facebook, this episode is part confessional, part cautionary tale.
We talk family carnivals, unpaid dues, and how the grind of blue-collar summer jobs can shape (and scar) a life. And we ask: what if the greatest gift we give each other isn’t advice or money—but just the truth about where we messed up?
RGF Bonus: The return of Joey Chestnut, the secret logo of VictimCon, homemade baloney sandwiches, Diet Coke-fueled carney days, and a very special shoutout to Tanya Tucker (whether she wants it or not).
Happy Friday. Bye Betches.

1107. How to Be a CONSCIOUS Parent: Modern Parenting 101 w/ Dr. Shefali Tsabary
Hey, Heal Squad! We’re continuing our parenting theme this week with a powerful throwback conversation featuring the brilliant Dr. Shefali Tsabary, 7x NYT bestselling author, psychologist, and founder of the Conscious Parenting movement.
Dr. Shefali breaks down exactly what conscious parenting means (and what it doesn’t), why control and obedience can damage connection, and how reparenting yourself is the first step to truly empowering your child. She explains how ego, fear, and identity loss affect our parenting more than we realize… PLUS, we dive into what it means to show up whole, why kids don’t need perfect parents, and how your own triggers are actually the gateway to deep healing.
It’s not just about how to parent differently, it's about how to live more consciously and fully as yourself. Tune in!

1106. RAISE Mentally Strong Kids: Emotional Fitness Habits That Make a LIFELONG Difference w/ Dr. Harold Koplewicz
Hey, Heal Squad! We’re back with part two of our powerful conversation with Dr. Harold Koplewicz, President of the Child Mind Institute, and this one is packed with real tools every parent needs right now!
In this episode, Dr. Koplewicz introduces his framework called “Scaffolding Parenting” and explains how it helps raise emotionally strong, self-regulating kids without hovering or over-fixing. He breaks down the difference between healthy support and helicoptering, and how to know when to step in (and when to let your child build resilience).
We also get into the top questions every parent should be asking to emotionally check in with their kids, how to teach emotional literacy from preschool through the teen years, and why routines like family gratitude, reading time, and exercise are essential for mental wellness.
These are tools every parent needs in their back pockets, whether your child is 3, 13, or 23!
HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:
Scaffolding parenting builds strength without overstepping. It’s not about fixing—it’s about supporting your child’s natural growth, so they feel capable of handling life’s challenges with confidence.
Your routines are shaping their mental health. Family dinners, reading rituals, and screen-free zones help kids feel safe, connected, and emotionally anchored.
Kids need a vocabulary for their feelings. Naming emotions helps children process them. The earlier they can say “I feel nervous” or “I feel proud,” the better they can self-regulate under stress.

1105. The CRISIS Affecting 1 in 5 Kids: About Children’s Mental Health & What You Can Actually DO About It Now w/ Dr. Harold Koplewicz
Hey, Heal Squad! This week, we are joined by the brilliant Dr. Harold Koplewicz, President of the Child Mind Institute, to talk about what’s really going on with youth mental health. He is not only one of the most trusted voices in youth mental health, but he is here to tell us exactly what you can do to help. From rising suicide rates to anxiety at age 10, Dr. Koplewicz helps us understand why so many kids are struggling, and the red flags every pediatrician and parent needs to look out for.
He breaks down the effects of screen time on dopamine and brain development, the emotional toll of comparison culture, and the exact age ranges when kids are most vulnerable. PLUS, they get into what pediatricians are missing and how to spot early red flags in toddlers all the way through teens.
And the best part? He shares simple (but life-changing) tools to help your kids build emotional fitness, starting now. You’re going to want this in your parenting toolkit. Tune in!!
HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:
Kids need emotional fitness as much as physical fitness. Just like sit-ups build strength, tools like breathwork, body awareness, and emotion naming build mental resilience—and need to be taught young.
Screens are disrupting dopamine and brain development. Constant stimulation from devices hijacks attention, wrecks sleep, and increases anxiety—especially for kids with pre-existing mental health challenges.
Suicide is now the second leading cause of death in kids and teens. Most parents don’t realize that adolescence is the most vulnerable window for impulsive decisions, and untreated emotional pain can quickly escalate into crisis.

1104. The Summer RESET: Instant Acupressure Relief, Gut Healing Wins & Grocery Store Red Flags?!
Hey Heal Squad! In this week’s Chat Show, Maria and Dr. Alison are back for a full-body summer reset chat to discuss their recent health hot takes! Maria shares her jaw-dropping experience with a new acupuncturist (recommended by Rebecca Zamolo!) that led to instant relief from SI joint pain, leg heaviness, and even constipation. Yes, all from one pressure point. You’ll hear exactly what he did, what points to try, and why her body finally responded to healing in a way it never had before.
We also dive into a powerful conversation about the unexpected ways our environment is impacting our health. Maria opens up about a scary moment that revealed food safety and environmental toxins... If you’ve ever wondered whether the “organic” label is still trustworthy, they are breaking down why California produce and wine might not be as clean as they seem, and how to source food that actually supports your healing.
Sometimes, becoming the CEO of your health starts with light, grounding, and tuning into the simple things your body’s been asking for all along. Enjoy, Friends!!

The Sunday Set Up Ep. 12: How To Break The Cycle of Unwanted Habits
Happy Sunday, Heal Squad! On this Sunday Setup, we explore the real reason behind our habits—the ones we know aren’t serving us, but we keep circling back to anyway.
We talk cravings, cycles, and the quiet patterns we fall into when something deeper is asking to be seen. Because whether it’s pizza, Diet Coke, gossip, or just keeping too busy, most habits aren’t random—they’re responses. We don’t need to be the hero to make an impact and how we’re still in the game, even when the scoreboard doesn’t make sense.
This week, ask yourself not just what you’re doing—but why. Why do you reach for that thing? Why do you push yourself so hard? Why does that small moment still sit with you?
You don’t need to fix it all today. Just notice. That’s where change begins.
Sunday Setup BONUS: We talk Joey Chestnut in the Fourth of July hot dog eating contest.

Regular Guy Friday Ep. 227: 5 Tips To Healing the Shame Spiral & Overcoming Overwhelm
Hey Heal Squad! It’s Friday, and yes—we fooled them again. With an RGF that starts with Tiny Bubbles and somehow ends with Indiana Jones. Kev and Anne talk shame and how those buried feelings show up—autoimmune, hernia, heartbreak—and why healing starts with telling the truth: “I feel it.” “I see it.” “I’m letting it go.”
We talk mindset medicine and how it starts with presence, compassion, and a whole lot less attachment. We talk why some people never get sick and others never get well. We talk how these simple changes led to a coffee shop meet-cute and why a bad cup might just reroute you to your next chapter.
Have a great weekend, bye betches.

1103. The REAL Disease Is Disconnection: The Truth About Gut Health & Trauma (& What Keeps Us Sick) w/ Dr. Zach Bush
Hey Heal Squad! We’re continuing our theme this week of gut, brain, and emotional healing with this week’s throwback with triple board certified physician, Dr. Zach Bush! We knew this was the perfect time to bring back one of our favorite episodes to revisit this week.
Dr. Zach doesn’t just talk about symptoms, he gets to the real root of disease: disconnection. Disconnection from our bodies, our relationships, our food, our purpose, and even the Earth itself. He shares how trauma, toxins, gut health, and isolation all play a role in why we’re sick, PLUS how healing starts when we finally begin to reconnect on every level.
Get ready to shift your perspective on health completely. We talk about the power of nature, the soul-body connection, and why your body isn’t broken (it’s just been overwhelmed). If you’re craving deeper healing and ready to get to the why behind what you're feeling… you don’t want to miss this one!

1102. What Chinese Medicine Gets RIGHT About Healing: The Acupressure Points You Need to Know w/ Dr. Christopher Motley
Hey Heal Squad! In Part 2 of our incredible conversation with Dr. Christopher Motley, we’re diving deeper into the hidden wisdom of the body and the overlooked signals it’s constantly sending us.
From ruptured ulcers linked to emotional stress to the healing power of acupressure and organ communication, this episode is packed with ancient practices and practical insights. Maria shares her own experiences using acupressure to relieve symptoms instantly, and Dr. Motley breaks down how organs like the spleen, liver, and bladder reveal dysfunction through symptoms like cracked heels, hip pain, constipation, and more..
PLUS, we explore how trauma is stored in your connective tissue (yup, emotional detox is real!), how environmental stressors like EMFs affect your ability to heal, and why supporting your thyroid, adrenals, and mitochondria is critical for long-term wellness.
If you’ve been chasing symptoms and are ready to finally understand the root of your chronic health issues, tune in and take your healing into your own hands!
HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:
Drainage before detox. If your lymphatic and fascia systems are congested, your body can’t eliminate toxins like mold, metals, or viruses, no matter how many supplements you take. True healing starts with clearing the exit pathways.
Your organs are always listening. Both Dr. Motley and Maria share how speaking directly to their organs during prayer or meditation brought powerful healing shifts… showing the potential of organ communication in Chinese medicine.
Acupressure delivers real-time results. From dry lips to back pain and even digestive issues, Maria shares firsthand how pressing specific points taught by her acupuncturist delivered instant relief (sometimes in just one session!)
