Summary

Happy Sunday, Heal Squad! On this Sunday Setup, we explore the real reason behind our habits—the ones we know aren’t serving us, but we keep circling back to anyway. We talk cravings, cycles, and the quiet patterns we fall into when something deeper is asking to be seen. Because whether it’s pizza, Diet Coke, gossip, or just keeping too busy, most habits aren’t random—they’re responses. We don’t need to be the hero to make an impact and how we’re still in the game, even when the scoreboard doesn’t make sense. This week, ask yourself not just what you’re doing—but why. Why do you reach for that thing? Why do you push yourself so hard? Why does that small moment still sit with you? You don’t need to fix it all today. Just notice. That’s where change begins. Sunday Setup BONUS: We talk Joey Chestnut in the Fourth of July hot dog eating contest. -- 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 Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/ Join the In-Person Heal Retreat: https://www.canyonranch.com/stay/events/heal-retreat-with-maria-menounos/?location=lenox 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.
