Summary

What does it really mean to be a strong woman? 🤔 Hey, Heal Squad! Gabby Reece is a volleyball legend, fitness icon, and one of the most grounded voices in wellness, and today, she’s showing us what real strength looks like. She breaks down the myths around strength… emphasizing that true power isn’t about pushing harder, it’s about aligning with your truth. From emotional resilience to physical health, Gabby shares how she’s trained herself (and supported others) to lead with intention, presence, and integrity. We talk about the pressure women face to "do it all" and how chasing perfection steals our power. Gabby opens up about building strength through stillness, owning your voice in relationships, and letting go of outdated identities. She also shares the rituals, mindset shifts, and non-negotiables that help her stay grounded and strong from the inside out. Oh, and of course Maria and Gabby talk about what they’ve learned from Dr. Jack Kruse and their plans to go to El Salvador. This is your permission to redefine what strength means, and build it in a way that actually supports your life! HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Strength starts within. Emotional regulation, self-awareness, and honest communication are just as essential as reps and recovery. You can’t outsource your healing. Gabby shares why personal accountability and self-honesty are the foundations of a resilient life. “Train for life,” not just aesthetics. True wellness isn’t about looking good—it's about showing up for yourself in every season.
