1096. Stop the Hormone SPIRAL: How to Eat, Sleep & Rebalance Naturally (Especially in Perimenopause)
Hey Heal Squad! This week’s episode is packed with wellness gold, especially for those of us navigating hormonal shifts, energy crashes, and modern health myths.
Maria and Dr. Alison get real about the hidden disruptors that could be wreaking havoc on your hormones—yes, even that innocent energy drink or late-night scroll might be doing more harm than you think. From perimenopause signs we’re not taught to look for, to the surprising sleep and nutrition patterns that support your cycle. We also talk about emotional regulation, how to read your body’s signals (before it screams for help), and the easy swaps that can get your nervous system back on track. It’s not about fear—it’s about empowerment. And once you know better, you feel better.
This one’s packed with aha moments, practical tips, and the reminder we ALL need: your body is always trying to communicate with you. Let’s stop ignoring the signs and start healing!

Heal in 10: How To Build An Emotional Bond With Your Baby (Even Through Surrogacy!) w/ Rebecca Zamolo
What does it really feel like to become a mom through surrogacy? Hey Heal Squad! In today’s Heal in 10, Rebecca Zamolo opens up about one of the hardest parts of her journey, the fear of not feeling connected to her daughter during pregnancy. While she wasn’t physically carrying her baby, her heart was all in—and yet, that didn’t stop the anxiety from creeping in…
She gets real about the emotional highs and lows, the guilt that can show up, and how she worked to build a bond with her baby long before she ever held her in her arms. Maria shares her advice of what helped her emotionally bond with baby Athena during her own journey.
This is a powerful reminder that love knows no bounds—and that connection isn’t just physical, it’s intentional. If you’re navigating surrogacy, supporting someone who is, or just wondering what that emotional journey looks like behind the scenes—this is for you. You’re not alone in those feelings, and connection can grow in ways you never expected. Tune in for a dose of truth, hope, and healing 💛

The Sunday Set Up Ep. 10: The Power of Asking Why
On this Sunday Setup, we set you up with a simple but powerful reminder: get to the reason why. Why did that comment sting? Why did that moment light you up? Why are you still carrying something that no longer serves you?
We talk emotional bricks and old ghosts—the ones we’ve lugged around so long we barely notice the weight. But the truth is, when you name what haunts you, it starts to lose its power. And when you ask why, you begin to loosen the grip of past patterns.
We also talk joy. Because the good stuff matters too. Why does this feel right? Why does this energize me? Getting curious on both sides—the pain and the pleasure—opens the door to real healing.
Whether it’s through therapy, conversation, or even your favorite AI guide (hello, Phineas J. Whoopi), this week, take a breath before you react—and get to the reason why.
Here’s to a lighter, more intentional week ahead, Heal Squad.

Regular Guy Friday Ep. 225: Letting Go of Old Stories, One Brick at a Time
It’s Friday and we fooled them again with an RGF that’s part reunion recap, part emotional unpack—and yes, the mop-top mullet made an appearance.
We talk Brian Wilson and why some songs—and some souls—leave a mark. We talk whether Sunday is the start or end of the week, and why teenage boys are now rocking hair that looks like it lost a bet. We talk about the mob salad mullet epidemic, eras that aged well (hello, Mad Men), and those that didn’t (sorry, 70s—you tried).
We talk bricks. The emotional kind. The ones you’ve been carrying for decades because someone once told you you didn’t belong, didn’t graduate, or didn’t measure up. Spoiler alert: no one’s checking credentials at the door of friendship. You're in. Always were.
We talk about the power of showing up—whether it’s to a college reunion, a group chat, or your own healing. And we remind you: just because you’ve gotten used to the weight doesn’t mean it was ever yours to carry.
We talk DNA myths, emotional fatigue, and why therapy can look like a professional session, a friend chat, or even a late-night convo with Phineas J. Whoopi (AI therapist of choice). Healing is healing—don’t knock the method.
Happy Friday. Set down a brick. Bye betches.

1094. Inside the Fertility Fight: The Cost of IVF, Miscarriage Recovery & Maria’s Surrogacy Advice For Rebecca Zamolo
Hey Heal Squad! In Part 2 of our powerful chat with digital creator and mom-of-one Rebecca Zamolo, we dive into the emotional aftermath that no one prepares you for.
Rebecca gets honest about what it was like to finally get pregnant after years of IVF and surgery—only to be met with anxiety, grief, and PTSD instead of the joy she expected. From high-risk pregnancy fears to the moment she almost quit YouTube altogether, this episode explores what happens when your dream comes true… but healing still hasn’t arrived.
We also talk about miscarriage, the pressure to show up for millions online while breaking inside, and how she and her husband made the decision to grow their family via surrogacy. Rebecca shares what she’s learned about letting go of control, navigating grief, and how to prepare emotionally for baby #2 when your heart’s still healing from baby #1.
This one’s for anyone who's ever had to keep hoping, even when it hurts.
HEALERS & HEAL LINERS:
Healing after IVF takes more than a pregnancy. Even after a successful round, Rebecca still faced anxiety, grief, and PTSD from her previous loss. Emotional healing doesn’t automatically follow physical outcomes—it requires space, support, and time.
You don’t have to “stay strong” all the time. Rebecca opens up about the pressure to be positive for others while silently struggling. She reminds us that giving yourself permission to not be okay is a crucial part of real healing.
It’s okay to reconsider your path. After years of chasing content creation success, Rebecca nearly walked away from YouTube. Her story shows that healing may require stepping back from what no longer aligns—even if it once did.

1093. The 8-YEAR Health Battle You Didn’t See: Rebecca Zamolo on Ulcerative Colitis, Losing Her Colon & Starting Over
Hey, Heal Squad! You may know her from viral videos and billion-view challenges, but today, Rebecca Zamolo is sharing the story behind the screen—one marked by pain, resilience, and radical honesty.
In Part 1 of our raw and inspiring conversation, Rebecca opens up about her battle with chronic illness, the life-altering decision to remove her colon, and how that journey impacted her self-worth, identity, and relationships. She walks us through the emotional toll of IVF, the heartbreak of miscarriage, and what it was like to navigate it all while being in the public eye.
We explore how she rebuilt her strength (physically and emotionally) and why she chose to share these deeply personal moments with her audience. Whether you’re navigating a health crisis, infertility, or just need a reminder that healing is possible, Rebecca’s story will move you and empower you to keep going.
HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:
Chronic illness doesn’t care about your plans. Rebecca was at the top of her career when her health crashed. Her body forced her to stop, reassess, and choose healing—even when it meant removing her colon.
You can be grateful and grieving at the same time. Rebecca shares the emotional rollercoaster of IVF and miscarriage, revealing how it’s possible to feel joy for others while holding heartbreak for yourself.
Silence breeds shame. She explains how speaking publicly about her miscarriage helped her release shame and allowed others to feel seen in their own stories.

Hey Heal Squad! In this Heal in 10 episode, Dr. Sara Reardon (aka the Vagina Whisperer) is breaking the silence around pelvic floor health. If you’re leaking a little when you laugh, rushing to the bathroom constantly, or avoiding sex because of pain… you are NOT alone.
Sara shares the top signs your pelvic floor needs attention, and why most people are getting it wrong (yep, it's not all about Kegels!). She unpacks what’s actually going on when your pelvic floor is too tight not too weak, how pushing to pee could be doing damage, and the little habits you can shift today to feel stronger, more supported, and in control.
Whether you’re postpartum, perimenopausal, or just finally ready to stop ignoring “down there” pain, this episode is your 10-minute power guide to feeling better in your body.
Let’s ditch the shame and talk solutions. Tune in!

The Sunday Set Up Ep. 9: You Owe the Past No Allegiance
Happy Sunday! Welcome to Heal Squad’s The Sunday Set Up. Life lessons to help you start the week.
This week, we unpack three dreams, one AEW stadium, two wrestling legends, and a whole lot of emotional payload. What begins as a walk through a rundown arena turns into a masterclass on loyalty, guilt, and the silent wars we wage within. We break down what it means when shame meets strategy—and when you finally choose not to get involved.
We talk about the moments we betray ourselves just to stay in someone else's favor, and the quiet power of walking away without burning down the stadium. We meet the part of you that once served power just to be seen and the evolving self that now serves love and allows itself to be. We revisit dream encounters with Adam West’s Batman, a bare-chested Jim Rockford from the Rockford Files, and a Thunderbird that’s not just a car—it’s a symbol of the family that left and the wise feminine spirit who told you to stay.
We reflect on saying no with compassion, breaking cycles without breaking hearts, and protecting your inner AEW: the part of you that builds quietly without applause. This isn’t just dream interpretation—it’s emotional renovation. You’re not stuck. You’re integrating. You’re not being left behind. You’re being rerouted.
Sunday Set Up Bonus: Jim Rockford’s budget-friendly guest appearance, the Jesus Christ AM Radio Hour, standing up to your father-in-law for his own good, and the eternal truth about lifetime guarantees (they’re all ********, and that’s why they work).
Remember: you owe the past no allegiance. Only the present, your presence.
Have a beautiful week.
