Explore the challenges and triumphs of widowhood with Carolyn Moor, founder of Modern Widows Club. Topics include the health impact of widowhood, legal and financial considerations, the power of listening, and the choice to suffer. Learn about resilience, grief, and self-care in navigating life after loss.

Happy Tuesday Heal Squad! Today we are joined by the founder of the Modern Widows Club, Carolyn Moor, and we are discussing a part of life that affects women worldwide: Widowhood. Millions of women are impacted by the devastating effects of widowhood each year, yet it remains a vastly undiscussed public health issue. In our conversation, she sheds light on the transitional experience of widowhood and the unique challenges widows face - from financial insecurity and social injustices to the arduous emotional and psychological toll. Carolyn also opens up about her own deeply personal journey through grief and identity reconstruction after losing her husband and provides compassionate, practical guidance for how we can better support this vulnerable population. Widowhood is a ticket to poverty for many, and the statistics are staggering - from the alarming gender gap in remarriage rates to the startling fact that only 50% of Americans even have life insurance. This is a crucial conversation about a crisis that demands far greater awareness and action. Healers and Heal-Liners Only 50% of Americans have life insurance as many Americans don’t see it as a priority. The average age of widows in the country is 59, and globally it’s 39. Men remarry 1-3 years after widowhood, and for women, it’s 6-7 years. Women want to heal, and men want to re-partner. Widowhood is a detachment from something you choose to attach to.

Happy Monday Heal Squad! We start today’s chatshow diving into our newfound love for cucumbers and cup-o-pizzas. We then explore how investing in the right people can pay off in the long run and why it's always worth taking the time to make thoughtful decisions, rather than acting out of fear. We continue to remind ourselves why life is happening for us, and not to us, and reflect on how to make each day count. Plus, we've got some must-see movie and TV recommendations to round things out.

How discovering and respecting your own and others' love languages can deepen relationships, enhance communication, and reveal much about your own shortcomings. How toxic behaviors can reveal your love language and your underlying needs - and the importance of addressing them for personal growth. How differentiating between emotions and behavior can lead to healthier interactions and self-control (the difference between being angry and throwing a tantrum). How forgiving yourself for past mistakes is essential for self-worth and how lack of self-worth reduces discipline and prevents success. How it doesn't begin with self-forgiveness, but rather self-awareness. How after self-awareness it's then about taking ownership. And how THEN it's about self-forgiveness. How advice from the person on the bar stool next to you is designed to keep you on that barstool. How RGF needs to avoid pro wrestling talk, why you should leave your window shut when flying in the wee hours, and an update on a potential Jeff Graham, Kelsey Heal Squad Reunion.

Happy Throwback Thursday Heal Squad! Today we are bringing back my conversation with Reiki practitioner and healer, Patti Penn. Patti is not only a dear friend but also someone who has worked with me personally. In our conversation, Patti and I dive deep into the importance of discernment when seeking guidance from psychics and healers. We also explore the powerful technique of reversing negative energy and beliefs others may try to impose on you. She shares the significance of surrounding yourself with people who truly see and support you, as well as the value of establishing connections with the right guides and healers to support your growth and healing. Patti's thoughtful perspective provides a roadmap for releasing any negative energies impacting your life and living in alignment with your deepest intuition. I hope our discussion inspires you as much as it did me.Healers and Heal-Liners When navigating difficult situations remember that the situation is only temporary. When a photographer is developing a photograph, they have to go into the dark room, because the photograph can’t develop in the light. Depression creeps in.

Happy Wednesday Heal Squad! Welcome back to part 2 of my conversation with celebrity hairstylist and fellow type 1 diabetic Laura Polko. In today’s episode Laura and I discuss the unique challenges and insights she's gained navigating life with type 1 diabetes as a mother. We also talk about her career and how she knew from a young age that hairstyling was her calling but was determined to forge her own path outside the traditional salon setting. Laura also pulls back the curtain on working with high-profile clients, her dream client, the hair trends she loves, and her top styling secrets - yes we talk about managing those grays.Healers and Heal-Liners When working with celebrities, it’s important to appreciate your life and not want their life.

Happy Tuesday Heal Squad! Today we are joined by celebrity hairstylist Laura Polko and we're talking all things diabetes! Just like me, she is a type 1 diabetic, but when we met each other we realized that people like us typically are not what comes to mind when you think of someone with diabetes. In our conversation, Laura opens up about all the waves of emotions that have come since her diabetes diagnosis, diabetes-related myths she's navigated, and the dangers of Diabulimia. Amidst the challenges, she also shares the unexpected upsides, like how her diagnosis fostered self-sufficiency and a deep appreciation for her body's rhythms. Whether you're a diabetic, know someone who is, or simply want to learn from Laura's experience as someone who has had type 1 diabetes for nearly 30 years, this episode will leave you with a newfound respect for the strength it takes to manage this condition. Make sure to come back tomorrow for part 2 of our conversation, where we continue to discuss our lives as type 1 diabetics as well as her incredible career in the beauty industry. Healers and Heal-Liners Everything in life will show you patterns, and your body and diabetes are not exempt from that. Insulin takes 2 hours to start working. Diabulimia is when diabetics restrict the amount of insulin they take which leads to weight loss and some side effects can include eye issues and nerve damage.  The symptoms of PMS are linked to insulin resistance.

Happy Monday Heal Squad! In today's episode, we discuss how the voices in our heads have never carried more weight than they do in today’s age with the rise of social media. We'll also explore how we're often reckless with the advice we take from others and why learning to discriminate between the words of advice to take in and the noise to tune out is a fundamental skill for personal growth. We'll dive into the different gate levels of who you allow into your inner circle, strategies for surrounding yourself with people who elevate you, and the crucial shift from "human doing" to "human being."

Happy Throwback Thursday Heal Squad! Today we are bringing back our conversation with beloved author, Elizabeth Gilbert, whose memoir "Eat, Pray, Love" sparked a global conversation about the power of personal exploration. In our conversation, Elizabeth shares her wisdom about navigating the ups and downs of the human experience and opens up about the importance of confronting difficult emotions head-on, rather than running from them. She also discusses the universal nature of suffering, reminding us that every generation grapples with life's challenges in their own way. Yet, within that struggle, she highlights why you should see suffering as one of the greatest gifts that life can give you. So, whether you're in the midst of a life-changing journey or ready for a spiritual awakening, this conversation with Elizabeth Gilbert is a must-listen.Healers and Heal-Liners Why do women almost have to die before they decide to change their lives? No generation or human will be spared suffering or hardship. Suffering knows where you live, and one day you will get a knock on your door and receive just what you need. What will you do with your suffering? Pain is a conduit for transformation, learning, and growth only if you do the work. Catharsis doesn't happen automatically just because something painful happens to you. Don’t ever waste your pain. Boredom is often a cover for anxiety.
