Summary

Hey, Heal Squad! Today we’re joined by Rebecca Crews, singer, fashion designer, pastor, wife to Terry Crews, and breast cancer survivor, for an inspiring conversation about faith, intuition, and resilience. Rebecca takes us through her breast cancer diagnosis and double mastectomy during the height of the pandemic. She shares how trusting her gut and advocating for herself led to a life-saving discovery that doctors initially missed. Instead of collapsing into fear, she leaned on her faith, visualized her healing, and made empowered choices about her treatment, even saying “no” to medications that didn’t feel right for her body. PLUS, Rebecca opens up about the role of forgiveness in her marriage, and why persistence and faith are key to healing both body and soul. Her story is a reminder that you are stronger than you think, that intuition is a gift worth trusting, and that healing isn’t just about survival, it’s about living fully. HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS: Trust your gut. Rebecca pushed for answers when doctors dismissed her, and that persistence uncovered the cancer that saved her life. Faith over fear. Through prayer and visualization, Rebecca shifted from panic to peace and navigated her diagnosis with clarity. Strength in struggle. Cancer didn’t just challenge Rebecca, it deepened her faith, her marriage, and her sense of purpose. A great reminder that healing is possible! -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy’s Page: Shop My Macy’s Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/ Briotech: https://shopbriotech.com/ Use Code: HEALSQUAD for 20% off Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/rebeccakingcrews/?hl=en Website: https://www.thelalifechurch.org/ Fashion Website: https://rebeccakingcrews.com/ ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos’ passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.
