The Sunday Set Up Ep. 17: Ditch the Expectations & Design Your Own Life
Happy Sunday! Welcome to Heal Squad’s The Sunday Set Up, life lessons to help you start the week. This week, we explore what happens when you step outside the roles others have cast you in. Maybe you’ve always been the peacemaker, the responsible one, the one who holds it all together. But what if that “box” is actually holding you back?
We unpack how family systems often resist change, especially when you stop playing the part that keeps the dysfunction spinning. We talk about protecting your energy, reclaiming your joy, and surrounding yourself with people who see your whole self, not just the role you play. From building boundaries to breaking patterns, it’s time to choose what fuels you, not what placates them.
Like a family merry-go-round, they may panic when you hop off, but don’t let that drag you back. Their limits aren’t yours. Stand tall, breathe deep, and follow what lights you up.
Remember, the box was never real. And nothing here is permanent…except change. Let go and be present. Have a great week, Heal Squad!

Regular Girl Sat. Ep. 25: Getting Out of Your Head & Into Your HEART
Hey Heal Squad! We’re back with a brand new Regular Girl Saturday…and a brand new format! We’re bringing you monthly episodes with incredible guests, and we’re kicking things off with transformational life and acting coach Bernard Hiller (who, no big deal, just changed Kelsey’s life in his masterclass).
We dive into why loving yourself is the most powerful thing you can do, how to stop living in your head and reconnect with your heart, and the surprising way dance can unlock freedom, confidence, and creativity. Bernard shares why evidence is key to building self-love, how to trust your instincts (even when others doubt you), and why regret costs more than chasing happiness.
Also in the mix: puppy play date chaos, letting go of hiding your gifts, and the life-changing results that come from telling the truth.

Regular Guy Friday Ep. 234: The Secret to Staying Young & Excited About Life
Hey Regular Guys and Gals, we did it again! We made it through another week! Today we’re diving into how leadership on a low-budget set teaches us everything about pivoting fast, staying cool, and knowing when to stop pushing. How past failures become your instruction manual if you let them, and why assigning blame wastes the precious time you need to move forward.
How getting dressed and showing up with intention can shape how you feel (and how others treat you). Why joy, not obligation, should guide your investments, whether it’s your wardrobe, your work, or your windows.
How staying in the game (no matter your age!) keeps your soul alive. Why building with a strong team matters, and why doing it with gratitude makes all the difference.
RGF BONUS: Donut talk returns as the front-runner for fall programming, balloon talk is officially in the lineup (yes, even the sad truth about “letting go”), and one last reminder: sometimes the best flex is not quitting.

Hey Heal Squad! We’re back with Part 2 of our powerful conversation with Alyson Stoner, former childhood star, children’s mental health advocate, and co-founder of Movement Genius.
This time, we’re going even deeper. Alyson shares how to rebuild your sense of safety and worthiness after childhood trauma, what happens when you stop people-pleasing, and how to reparent yourself as an adult. They also open up about navigating money, power, and silence in the entertainment industry, and why healing is more about self-trust than fixing.
We talk about boundaries, burnout, and the cost of constantly performing. PLUS, Alyson reveals their personal checklist for discerning aligned opportunities from energy drains. This one is for anyone learning to value their time, protect their peace, and finally say yes to themselves. Tune in!!
HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:
Financial healing is emotional healing. Alyson opens up about reclaiming autonomy after childhood financial exploitation, and why tracking your energy is just as important as tracking your income.
Worthiness isn’t something you earn. It’s something you remember. Alyson reminds us that we don’t have to prove our value to deserve rest, respect, or love.
Artist Wellbeing Essentials Toolkit. Alyson shares their go-to questions to determine if an opportunity is aligned, or just another form of self-abandonment.

1130. Heal Your Inner Child: Alyson Stoner On Trauma & The Cost of Childhood Fame
Hey, Heal Squad! This week, we’re joined this week by Hollywood child star, Alyson Stoner for one of the most vulnerable conversations we’ve ever had on children’s mental health.
In Part 1, Alyson opens up about the hidden cost of childhood fame, the impact of growing up in unsafe environments, and the long-term effects of being a “performing child.” They share what it’s like to heal publicly, how childhood trauma shows up in adulthood, and why so many of us are still carrying the coping mechanisms we learned just to survive.
PLUS, we talk about the importance of creating safe spaces for kids today (especially as the mental health crisis deepens) and how to begin reparenting your inner child with compassion. This one’s for anyone healing their past, parenting in the present, or simply looking to break the cycle for the next generation. You don’t want to miss out, tune in!!
HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:
The Cost of Early Success: Childhood fame often comes with emotional neglect and performance pressure. Alyson breaks down how trauma hides in plain sight, and how to reclaim your voice.
Trauma Responses Are Not Personality Traits: People-pleasing, perfectionism, overachievement, these aren’t quirks. They’re signs your inner child is still trying to survive.
Reparenting Your Inner Child: Healing means meeting the needs you never got growing up, especially rest, safety, and emotional validation. You can be the safe space you always needed.

1129. How To Get The MOST Out Of Your Life w/ Jonathan Fields
Feeling stuck or unsure about your path? You’re not alone. Hey Heal Squad! In this throwback episode, Maria is joined by Jonathan Fields, author, speaker, and host of the Good Life Project, to help us navigate the big question: what should I do with my life? Together, they unpack how to find clarity through curiosity, why passion isn’t something you find (it’s something you grow), and how to align your work with your purpose.
Jonathan breaks down how to identify your “sparketype,” the unique imprint of how you’re wired to contribute to the world. We talk about the power of slowing down, getting curious instead of controlling, and trusting that sometimes the answers come when we stop chasing them. Maria shares how she’s finding peace in the “not knowing,” and why your path might look different, and that’s a good thing.
If you’re in a season of searching or just need a reminder that it’s okay to be where you are, tune in. Your purpose isn’t something to figure out, it’s something you feel into.

1128. Signs the Body Shows About Health & Blood Pressure (& What You Can Do About It)
Hey, Heal Squad! In this week’s chatshow, Maria and Dr. Alison dive into the simple but powerful shifts that are helping them feel better, think clearer, and take control of their health, starting with skin tone, teeth, & eye colors!
From pale gums to purplish lips, dry skin to yellowing eyes, they break down what visible clues like skin tone, tooth color, and eye clarity can tell you about your blood pressure, circulation, and overall well-being. You’ll learn how these subtle signs are actually messages from your body, and what they could be warning you about.
PLUS, Maria shares what she’s learned from her own health journey (including how her lip color helped spot a major issue), and why tuning into your body’s signals can help you feel empowered instead of overwhelmed.
If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and felt like something was “off”, this episode will help you understand why and what to do next.

Heal in 10: The FIRST Step To Healing When You Feel Lost w/ Dr. Zach Bush
Hey Heal Squad! Today’s Heal in 10 episode is a simple reminder we all need. Dr. Zach Bush returns with a powerful invitation: to pause, reconnect, and remember that healing doesn’t start in a clinic… it starts in the soil, in stillness, and in the truth of who you are.
We explore how disconnection from nature creates disease, how touching the Earth can begin to restore your gut, mind, and spirit, and why getting your hands in the dirt might heal more than just your body. Dr. Zach also shares why creativity is our most sacred act, and how art, simplicity, and sitting with elders or children can reconnect us to our purpose.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, lost, or off-track, this episode might give you the answer you need. Let’s do this together, tune in!!

Regular Guy Friday Ep. 233: Why Starting Over Is The Biggest Breakthrough
Happy Friday, Heal Squad! We’re back with another Regular Guy Friday and this week we have a very special throwback episode! Kev, Kelsey, Nat, and Ian get real about the “fog” that clouds our vision during change, whether it's a career shift, health challenge, or even organizing your kitchen drawer. They talk about honoring the transition periods (yes, even the messy ones!), letting go of shame when your life doesn’t look how you thought it would, and embracing the idea that you don’t have to do it all right now.
PLUS: the power of setting up your space for success, Kev’s theory on the “big clean,” and why turning 50 might actually be the moment everything clicks. Oh, and a few laughs about Kev’s recent attempts at minimalism and the wisdom of a good sandwich.
Here’s your Friday permission slip to slow down, recalibrate, and give yourself some grace. Let’s end the week with clarity and compassion 💛

1127. Top SELF-LOVE Habits That Stop You From Settling in Life and Relationships
Hey Heal Squad! In today’s episode, Maria is sharing some of the biggest mindset shifts, life lessons, and self-love practices that have changed her life.
We talk about what it really means to love yourself through action, from simplifying your schedule to decluttering your space and honoring your capacity. From why saying “no” is an act of self-respect, how I’ve learned to make loving choices (eveI share n when they’re hard), to what her nighttime self-check-in ritual looks like. PLUS, Maria opens up about one of her favorite new health hacks and why it's become her go-to for immune support and energy.
We also dive into relationships, boundaries, and why so many of us settle, not because we want to, but because we’re afraid to be alone. And if you’ve ever needed a reminder that life is happening for you, not to you, this episode will bring it home in a big way.
Let’s keep doing the work, keep getting better, and keep remembering we’re in this together.
