Summary

Hey, Heal Squad! On this week’s Sunday Set Up, Kev and Anne are taking inspiration from Mr. Rogers, breakfast cereals, and even social media detoxing to remind us of something simple but powerful: joy is underrated. They reflect on how a certain mindset can change the way we move through today’s world, especially when social media amplifies negativity. From routines and rituals that create calm to practicing gratitude, they dive into how perspective shapes our reality. And because healing also comes with lightness, they sprinkle in a little nostalgia that shaped our childhood mornings. It’s a fun yet grounding reminder that finding joy doesn’t have to be complicated, it just has to be intentional. Let’s step into the week with more lightness and clarity! -- 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 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.
