Summary

Hey, Heal Squad! With the holiday’s right around the corner, we know that it can be a tough season for some. So, today we’re talking about something every one of us goes through but almost no one talks about honestly: those tough, messy, confusing life moments that feel like they’re pulling you backward… and how you can use it to move you toward your next level of growth! Maria shares what she’s been learning in her own “rainy season,” from the unexpected challenges that knocked her off course to the mindset shifts that helped her stay grounded when life felt overwhelming. She opens up about the moments that tested her faith, the tools she used to stay connected to her intuition, and how she learned to trust that hard seasons are not punishments, they’re preparation. Sometimes this season looks like slowing down, surrendering control, letting old versions of yourself fall away, and allowing life to redirect you… you’ve got this! -- 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 EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/ Thrive Causemetics: https://thrivecausemetics.com/healsquad Get 20% OFF with this link!
