1086. Build SUSTAINABLE Strength: Habits & Muscles That Last Beyond the Before & After w/ Denise Kirtley
Hey Heal Squad! We’re back with Part 2 of our conversation with Denise Kirtley, and this one is packed with real talk about what it actually takes to maintain strength, build muscle, and feel your best in midlife and beyond.
Denise gets candid about her journey from emotional eating and burnout to becoming a bodybuilding competitor—and what it felt like after she stepped off the stage. She opens up about learning that your leanest body isn’t always your happiest body, how to find your “healthy weight,” and why building a sustainable, strong life matters more than hitting a number on the scale.
We dive into her daily health non-negotiables, how she breaks down the fear around lifting heavy, and why acceptance is just as important as ambition. PLUS, Denise shares the powerful mindset shift that helped her push through self-doubt and start living with intention.
If you’ve ever struggled with consistency, negative body image, or just need motivation to start again—this episode will meet you exactly where you are. 💛
HEALERS & HEAL LINERS:
Strong is the new sustainable. It’s not about staying “stage lean.” Denise discovered real health comes from strength, consistency, and how you feel
Motivation fades, habits last. Daily non-negotiables like walking, protein, and sleep help Denise stay on track, even when motivation disappears.
A healthy weight isn’t always your leanest weight. Denise got honest about finding a weight where she could feel strong, balanced, and mentally well, not just lean for the sake of it.
Lifting heavy builds more than muscle. Denise gained self-trust, resilience, and power in the gym. What started as physical strength became emotional strength too.

1085. Losing 50LBS at 50 Years Old: How to Transform Your Body, Mind & Health at ANY Age w/ Denise Kirtley
Hey Heal Squad! If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and thought “Is this just how it is now?” If so, this is exactly what you need to hear! In Part 1 of our conversation with Denise Kirtley, she shares how she went from burned out, binge eating, and pre-diabetic in her late 40s to competing in a bodybuilding competition in her 50s—after never having stepped foot in a gym.
Denise opens up about the moment that made her change everything, how she overcame self-doubt and shame, and how strength training helped her reclaim her body, her energy, and her confidence. She also gets real about how to make the first step when you feel stuck, how to break the cycle of emotional eating, and why midlife isn’t a decline—it’s a decision.
Whether you’re navigating perimenopause, burnout, or just feel like you’re “starting over,” Denise will remind you that it’s never too late to become the strongest version of yourself.
HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:
Transformation starts with one honest moment. For Denise, it wasn’t a rock bottom—it was realizing her wedding ring didn’t fit. That moment of discomfort sparked a complete lifestyle shift.
You can lose 50 pounds without extremes. Denise didn’t crash diet or obsess over perfection. She focused on consistent habits, strength training, and choosing long-term wellness over quick fixes.
Emotional eating keeps you stuck in survival mode. Denise recognized how food was numbing her stress. Once she got curious instead of judgmental, everything started to shift.

Heal in 10: How To Cheat-Proof Your Relationship w/ Dr. Laura Berman
Hey Heal Squad! We’re so happy to have Dr. Laura Berman back. She is, a New York Times best-selling author, podcast host, and relationship expert who’s spent 30 years helping people master love, intimacy, and connection—mind, body, and soul. Here she discusses the complex dynamics behind infidelity revealing that emotional disconnection and the need for validation can play major parts. Cheating is so opportunistic too! With modern social media acting as a "high school reunion on steroids," where people can be tempted by the idea of "the one that got away." Dr. Laura also explains why serial cheaters may be driven by a desire for the chase and dopamine hits rather than just sexual need. Let’s not hate the cheater just yet, rather learn about what’s really going on because like Dr. Laura mentions, anything can be addressed through better communication.

The Sunday Set Up Ep. 7: Their Bullets (and Yours) Are Not Real
Happy Sunday! Welcome to Heal Squad's The Sunday Set Up. Life lessons to help you start the week. This week’s episode kicks off with the uplifting lyrics of Belinda Carlisle and blossoms into a spirited talk about the difference between possessing and admiring. Why admiring something—a house, a car, a theater, even success—might bring you more peace than actually owning it. We explore the age of Aquarius, generational disillusionment, and how the old systems just don’t vibe anymore. Keven shares why the younger generation seems lost (hint: it’s not laziness), and how our unconscious minds obey the scripts we write—whether that’s “my relationships never work out” or “I’m not enough.”
We revisit Letting Go by Dr. David Hawkins to learn why guilt is just another indulgence of the small self and why stepping into “Selfishness” with a capital S (the empowered Self) might just be the most generous thing you can do. Add in a deep cut from Star Trek, ironic lessons to Captain Lou Albano and you’ve got this week’s Sunday Set Up.
Remember, the bullets aren’t real. Not theirs. Not yours. Nothing here is permanent—except change. Let go and be present. Have a great week, Heal Squad!

Regular Girl Sat. Ep. 24: Making Space to Receive, Betrayal Healing & Puppy Joy
Hey Heal Squad! It’s a solo check-in with Nat this week while Kelsey takes a breather. From puppy updates and adorable Dylan stories to profound reflections on betrayal trauma, Natasha opens up about the surprising ways we hold on to old emotional wounds—and how learning to make space for stillness and receiving can start to shift everything.
She shares a powerful conversation with Dr. Debbie Silber from the Post Betrayal Transformation Institute, explores the difference between trauma and betrayal, and reminds us how past relationship patterns can quietly shape how we show up now.
It’s a heart-forward episode about healing, slowing down, and remembering that it’s safe to receive.
xo Nat

Regular Guy Friday Ep. 222: Why You’re Stuck in Almost & What Your Subconscious Wants You to Know
It’s Friday and we fooled them again! This week’s RGF focuses on more dream analysis and how it can transform you. From betrayal in a dream cafeteria to a third-floor restaurant with no elevator and a rabbit-headed spirit guide who’s clearly not here for your excuses, we’re talking divine ejections, 11:10 on the clock (a.k.a. spiritual almostness), and why ChatGPT—sorry, Phineas J. Whoopi—might just be the best shrink there is. We talk all things recurring signs, emotional redirection, and what it means when spirit stops whispering and starts kicking you out of the past.
We cover creative resistance and the genius trap and why dimming yourself could be deadly. We break down why betrayal in your dream isn’t about your partner or the betrayal even.
RGF Bonus: Captain Lou and Captain Kirk — and how delusional beliefs beats limiting beliefs and why your beliefs can kill you. Sundries, satchels, pails, penny buns, bear claws oh my!
Happy Friday. Bye beaches

1082. Healing Through Pleasure and Why You Should Be MANIFESTING During Sex: About Sex Magic w/ Dr. Laura Berman
Today’s discussion includes topics of a sexual nature. If this content isn’t suitable for you or if you’re listening in a shared space, please take caution and care while listening.
Hi Heal Squad! We're back with Part 2 of our mind-blowing conversation with Dr. Laura Berman. Today, Dr. Berman gets into her powerful new book Sex Magic, revealing how you can harness your sexual energy to supercharge your connection. Did you know your sexual energy is the highest vibrational energy your body can hold? Dr. Berman explains how to tap into it for healing and transformation in the bedroom. Spoiler alert! The magic of orgasms can even help with migraines! We also unpack roommate syndrome and how to reignite intimacy in long-term relationships with small, no-pressure steps like kissing exercises. Plus, Dr. Berman tackles some BIG questions: How can we model healthy relationships for our kids? What’s the real biggest predictor of cheating? And is it okay to have close friends of the opposite sex? Oh, and if you’re feeling a little hesitant about therapy for your sex life—Dr. Berman gives you the green light and shares why it’s totally normal (and necessary) to seek help. Enjoy!
HEALERS & HEAL LINERS:
Playful Exercises to Reconnect: Remove expectations and focus on simple, intimate exercises like kissing with no pressure to perform.
Orgasm Healing Power: Orgasms aren't just about physical pleasure—it can help alleviate migraines by bringing you physically close to bliss, but they also create an energetic frequency that amplifies your intentions.
Modeling Emotional Resilience: Learning to self-regulate and manage lower frequency states, especially when triggered, is key to teaching kids how to build resilience, especially in the face of emotional ups and downs.

Today’s discussion includes topics of a sexual nature. If this content isn’t suitable for you or if you’re listening in a shared space, please take caution and care while listening.
Hey, Heal Squad! Today’s episode is about to get educationally hot and steamy. We’re thrilled to welcome back Dr. Laura Berman, a New York Times best-selling author, podcast host, and relationship expert who’s spent 30 years helping people master love, intimacy, and connection—mind, body, and soul. And trust us, Maria is going there with all the juicy questions on sex, love, and relationships! Dr. Laura’s new book Sex Magic reveals so much more too, but here she’s telling us how to use sexual energy to manifest your dream life (yes, really!), why porn and social media (aka a high school reunion on steroids) may be hurting your love life, and the shocking reason serial cheaters keep cheating. Hint, Hint: it’s not about sex! Plus the big debate: Is monogamy still realistic? Dr. Laura’s take may surprise you. If you’re looking for real, no-BS relationship advice, this episode is an absolute must-listen!
HEALERS & HEAL LINERS:
Sex & Manifestation - Manifesting during sex works because it’s an intense energetic exchange that can be harnessed to create desired emotional states.
Infidelity & Social Media –Infidelity is often driven more by emotional disconnection, validation, and opportunity rather than just physical attraction. Social media has amplified temptation by making past connections more accessible.
Passion Fades, But Connection Can Evolve – Long-term relationships transition from intense passion to deeper attachment. Many people seek external excitement (like porn or affairs) when they don’t nurture intimacy within their relationship.
