Summary

Hey Heal Squad! It’s time for another What Worked This Week… and this one starts with the little things making Maria’s life way easier right now. Think genius travel hacks (carry-on only?!), the cutest pajamas ever, and tiny systems that are actually helping her feel more organized and calm. But then… the conversation takes a turn. Into people-pleasing, the labels we carry that were never really ours, and the wild realization that you might be the “villain” in someone else’s story… and that’s okay. Yep, we’re going there today… It’s honest, it’s real, it’s funny, a little deep… and we think you’re really going to love this one. Enjoy, Squad!
