Summary

Hey, Heal Squad! In today’s episode, Maria shares how one simple morning habit completely shifted her mindset, helping her stop self-criticism, embrace compassion, and feel ready for anything life throws her way. Inspired by Mel Robbins’ High Five Habit and teachings from Esther Hicks, Maria opens up about the power of starting your day with self-love, forgiveness, and intention. From turning mistakes into moments of growth (yes, even crunching her car!) learning that no one is coming to rescue you, she reminds us that you are your own hero. We dive into the truth about mental “lint” and how old beliefs, guilt, and fear can clog your confidence, PLUS how to clear them through daily rituals that build resilience and joy. If you’re ready to stop waiting, start healing, and finally take your power back, this is your sign! -- 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 EPISODE RESOURCES: Get ‘The High 5 Habit’ Book: https://go.shopmy.us/p-27889130 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.
