Regular Guy Friday Ep. 237: What You Need To Remember To Get You Through Anything

Hey Regular Guys and Gals, we did it again! We made it through another week! This week we talk about how it's less about fashion and more about energy, why so many of us freeze our look at the moment we “peaked,” and how staying current means you have not quit. How the pajama-pants mindset could mean you have quit. Why showing up with intention changes how you feel and how life meets you. How letting go of outcomes, while still giving your best, brings peace—because it's all 'just on loan.' The measure of true  wealth and how strength comes from enduring, not avoiding. RGF BONUS: From Patula Clark’s Downtown as a quick mood reset, to memories of Green Stamps and Christmas Clubs. Why small comforts (even a thick 'frappe 'on a rough night) can carry you through. And one last reminder, September may feel like a lull, but it’s really the first day of ' spring training’ for the holiday season . -- 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 Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist 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.

1143. How Dr. Joe Dispenza Taught Me to Live My Happiest & Healthiest Life

Hey Heal Squad! Today we’re throwing it back to one of Maria’s most profound healing experiences, her weekend retreat with Dr. Joe Dispenza!  Maria takes us inside her time in San Diego with Dr. Joe and 1,600 others, where she discovers what it really means to stop living in the past, break free from old programs, and step into the present moment as the true creator of your life. She shares how just three days of meditations dissolved her anxiety, why forgiveness was the key to her healing, and the powerful ways gratitude, intention, and elevated emotions collapse time to bring what you want closer. From mystical experiences and heart-opening moments to the science-backed research proving how thoughts shape health, Maria opens up about the breakthroughs that made her feel like she stepped into a whole new body. And the best part? This isn’t the end of the conversation. Next week, Dr. Joe Dispenza himself joins us again to dive even deeper into the science and practice of becoming your own healer. Consider this your sneak peek into what’s to come!  Attend his upcoming retreat happening this month! https://drjoedispenza.com/product-details/Nashville%20Week%20Long%20Advanced%20Retreat%20September%202025  -- 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 Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist DR JOE DISPENZA’S RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjoedispenza/  Website: https://drjoedispenza.com/  Attend his upcoming retreat happening this month! https://drjoedispenza.com/product-details/Nashville%20Week%20Long%20Advanced%20Retreat%20September%202025  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.

1142. How Psychic John Edward Cracked Cold Cases Using Pure Intuition

Hey, Heal Squad! We’re back with Part 2 of a fan favorite guest, psychic medium John Edward, but this time, he’s joined by his co-author, retired FBI agent Robert Hilland. Together, this unlikely duo reveals the jaw-dropping story behind their new book, Chasing Evil, and how a skeptic FBI agent and a psychic forged a 25-year partnership solving cold cases. Together, they dive into the behind-the-scenes work on cases like the infamous John Smith disappearances, the Yale University murder of Annie Lee, and what it was like to keep their collaboration secret for decades. From undercover setups with planted evidence to shocking confirmations that no one could have predicted, John and Robert share how they built trust across two very different worlds. PLUS, John opens up about the unexpected healing this work gave him, forcing him to reconcile with his late father’s skepticism and recognize unresolved grief with his mom. This isn’t just about crime-solving; it’s about learning to trust yourself, embracing the unexplainable, and finding validation in the most unlikely places… you don’t want to miss this one! Tune in!  HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Intuition can reveal what evidence can’t. John and Robert show how psychic insight uncovered missing clues and validated leads in real FBI cold cases. Skepticism can shift into trust. A veteran FBI agent went from doubting John to relying on him for over 25 years, proving the power of keeping an open mind. Healing comes from facing the truth. John shares how this unlikely partnership also helped him process unresolved pain with his parents and find deeper self-acceptance. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria 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 Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/psychicmediumje/?hl=en  Website: https://johnedward.net/  Evolve+: http://www.evolveplusTV.com  Book (Chasing Evil): https://a.co/d/clIbfaD  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.

1141. Psychic John Edward on Becoming Your Own Psychic & What’s Left in 2025

Psychic John Edward is back… and this time, he’s teaching YOU how to tap into your own intuition. From gut feelings to energetic nudges, John breaks down how we can all access our inner knowing and start predicting what’s next in our own lives (yes, really). Maria and John go deep on trusting yourself, recognizing energetic red flags, and why your inner voice is usually right, even when it’s inconvenient. He also opens up about his fascinating work helping solve real-life murder cases (you’ll hear more in his upcoming book, Chasing Evil), and his recent interview with Sharon Stone, who turned the tables and gave him a surprise reading. Plus, John shares what he’s feeling for the rest of 2025, why more people are becoming energetically fractured, and how to protect your peace in a world full of noise. If you’ve ever had a gut feeling you couldn’t explain, or a moment that made you wonder, “Wait… how did I know that?”, this episode is your permission to lean all the way in. Hit play and start tuning into the power you already have! HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  You don’t need to be a psychic to predict your own life. John says intuition is a skill we all have (and can strengthen). Grief doesn’t end after year one; in fact, the second year often hits harder, and that’s completely normal. Energetic boundaries matter. Your peace is worth protecting, even if it means walking away.

Heal in 10: What Plant Medicine Can Teach Us About the Healing Process (Ayahuasca)

Hey Heal Squad! In this Heal in 10, Tori Deal shares how her experience with plant medicine opened the door to deep emotional healing. Through her journey with Ayahuasca, she discovered the importance of facing buried pain, releasing old patterns, and finding compassion for her younger self. Her story reminds us that plant medicine isn’t about quick fixes, it’s about creating the space for breakthroughs that shift how we see ourselves and our healing journey. A powerful reminder that sometimes the deepest healing comes when we’re willing to face ourselves fully.

The Sunday Set Up Ep. 19: The Heart Behind the Healing

Hey, Heal Squad! We are back with another Sunday Set Up to help you set the tone for the week ahead. This week, we reflect on the nostalgia of the Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon, the shifting lens on shows like The Biggest Loser (including discussion on the Netflix doc), and the reminder that what once entertained us may look very different through today’s eyes.  We talk about the importance of listening to our bodies before they shut us down, with stories of stress, illness, and the emotional weight that often hides behind physical breakdowns. The message is clear: healing requires addressing both the physical AND the emotional.   Then we get serious. Plotting pumpkin-carving contests. Halloween decorations popping up in stores being “spring training” for the upcoming holiday season. We reminisce about birthday party 'grab bags' being the rage, playing with caps, and bobbing for donuts-on-a-string somehow being fun.

Regular Guy Friday Ep. 236: Why Living in the Past Is Stealing Your Present

Hey Regular Guys and Gals, we did it again, made it through another week for this edition of RGF-lite! How second chances don’t come by waiting, you earn them by letting go. The time travel that helps and the kind that hurts. How living in the past keeps you from the present. How you can apply every health hack known to humans and get an additional five years of life but do this one thing to get 30 or more. How movement is the truest method to maintain youth. How knowing and accepting who you are frees you from chasing someone else’s idea of success. And how real connection, even in messy places, comes from finding those who remain human in the hustle. On the lighter side of this RGF-lite, carney tales and how Jinxy the carnival cat (long gone, long loved) became the mascot for madness. How 'Lori', the gentleman carnie, provided humanity during chaos. School supplies, lunch boxes, fluffernutter sandwiches, bobbing for apples, drunk coaches at Little League games and poor performing thermos were from a time that was both mortifying and magical. How entire podcasts (plural) exist about breakfast cereals proving two things: life here can't be that bad and Kev's Donut Talk podcast may work after all. Bye Betches!

1138. Coming Off Antidepressants & Coming Home to Yourself w/ Tori Deal

What happens when you stop numbing and finally face what’s underneath? Hey, Heal Squad! In this deeply honest episode, Maria sits down with The Challenge star turned certified meditation coach, singer, and author Tori Deal to unpack her journey of coming off antidepressants, quitting alcohol, and finding herself again. Tori shares what it’s been like to be six months med-free, the tools that supported her through the transition, and how her Ayahuasca journey helped her release childhood trauma and reconnect with her inner truth. Together, she and Maria dive into the emotional toll of reality TV, the power of presence, and the spiritual practices that helped her finally feel whole. Whether you’re exploring your own healing, questioning your relationship with medication, or looking for a reset, this episode is for you. HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Coming off antidepressants is a layered journey: Tori shares how she weaned off medication after a decade, found stability without numbing, and learned to hold space for discomfort without fear. Healing doesn’t always look like progress: Removing alcohol, sitting in stillness, and feeling emotions fully brought up grief, but it also unlocked clarity, creativity, and real self-trust. Plant medicine isn’t a cure, it’s a mirror: Tori’s Ayahuasca journey revealed the pain she hadn’t processed, but also the power of perspective, compassion, and choosing a new story for her life.
