Summary

Hey Heal Squad! After this week's powerful conversation with Dave Coulier about navigating two cancer diagnoses, we wanted to bring back this inspiring Throwback Thursday episode with Kristin Bostrom. After being diagnosed with breast cancer that later spread throughout her body, including more than 150 brain tumors, Kristin refused to let fear define her future. She shares the mindset shifts that helped her move from victimhood to hope, why she believes healing starts with the way we speak to ourselves, and the life-changing realization that transformed her relationship with her body. Maria and Kristin also dive into the connection between stress, self-love, and healing, the power of changing old thought patterns, and why becoming an active participant in your own healing journey can change everything. Whether you're navigating your own health challenge or supporting someone who is, this conversation is a powerful reminder that healing isn't just physical…it's emotional, mental, and deeply personal. We hope this conversation inspires you!

0:00.0	On this podcast, we talk a lot about healing ourselves, but healing our communities matters too.
0:05.0	And in a world where so many people are feeling disconnected, even one small act of kindness
0:09.8	can make a difference. That's why I love what Macy's is doing through their Mission Everyone
0:14.0	initiative. Right now, through July 13th, when you shop at Macy's, you can donate at checkout to support
0:19.2	the American Red Cross and help families
0:21.5	facing disasters and emergencies. It's a simple act of kindness, friends, that can make a real
0:26.5	difference. So if you're shopping at Macy's, I hope you'll consider joining the mission.
0:30.9	Friends, summer is in full swing. And if you're thinking, well, I miss my chance to plan a getaway,
0:35.8	trust me, you haven't. There are so many places to
0:38.4	adventure and relax like nearby beach towns or national parks. I'm still thinking about taking
0:43.8	my family to the Grand Canyon. They're in town right now for Athena's birthday, and we've been
0:48.0	talking about it a lot. I've never been, but I hear it's awe-inspiring, and I'm looking
0:52.4	forward to just taking in the sight of it. Plus, it'd be the third natural wonder of the world I visited, so I'm really going to try to squeeze it in. But no matter where you go, while you're away, your own home doesn't have to sit empty. You could list it on Airbnb and bring in a little extra cash toward your next trip. And it's easier than ever with Airbnb's co-host network
1:11.7	because you can hire a vetted local co-host to help take care of your home and your guests.
1:15.9	So the whole process feels a lot more manageable. Find a co-host at Airbnb.com slash host.
1:24.4	I'm on a journey to heal and get better in all areas of life, and I want to do it with you.
1:29.4	Welcome to Heal Squad by Maria Menunoz, where we improve and heal all parts of our lives,
1:34.8	most importantly, our health.
1:37.0	Heal Squad by Maria Menuno's, your life improvement series starts now.
1:42.1	Coming up on this episode of Heal Squad.
1:44.8	You also said something to me about you had so many things you needed to change.
1:50.1	So you knew that you couldn't be healed until you changed those things.
