Heal Squad x Maria Menounos

Hey Regular Guys and Gals, today Kev explores why losing money on a sale, a possession, or even giving something away can feel like losing a piece of yourself. For builders, caretakers, providers, and anyone who's spent years holding it all together, possessions often become more than objects—they become containers for memories, sacrifice, hard work, and identity. That's why some transactions aren't really financial at all. They're emotional. They're energetic. Kev also unpacks why taking a loss can trigger so much guilt, especially for people who were taught to see every setback as a personal failure. He dives into the psychic weight objects can carry, the hidden cost of holding on too tightly, and why clinging to the past can quietly stall momentum, growth, and even your future. Along the way, he reflects on a powerful truth: sometimes losing money is actually buying peace, mobility, closure, dignity, and emotional freedom. Sometimes the sale isn't about profit—it's about release. Plus, why healing often begins with letting go of old clothes, furniture, storage units, unfinished projects, outdated identities, and long-held resentments. Why the nervous system may scream, "You failed," while something deeper whispers, "Finally... movement." And how life isn’t accounting software — and sometimes the thing that looked expensive becomes liberation. How the real value may not be what you got back financially… but what the release allowed back into your life

Bye Betches — and we'll talk shortly.

Hey Heal Squad! This Throwback Thursday episode with Maha Abouelenein is full of the kind of advice that makes you rethink the way you approach work, success, relationships, and even hard seasons in life. Maha, a global communications strategist who’s worked with brands like Google and Netflix,  breaks down why creating value for others will always take you further than ego, titles, or chasing quick success.

Maria, Kev, and Maha get into work ethic, humility, resilience, caregiving, and the mindset shifts that helped Maha build an incredible career while also caring for both of her parents through MS and ALS. They talk about how to stop letting your ego block opportunities, why the “small things” are often the big things, how to become someone people trust and remember, and what it actually means to be self-reliant without trying to do everything alone.

This episode will challenge the way you think about success, purpose, leadership, and what you’re truly capable of when life asks more of you than you ever expected!

Hey, Heal Squad! We’re back with Brooke Tyalor, author of the new book,Healing the Success Wound, and while yesterday was  the diagnosis, today's episode is the prescription. Brooke is giving us the actual framework to heal our success wounds, the 4 levels you have to work through (emotional, mental, behavioral, and spiritual) and the 3 pillars to redefine success on YOUR terms instead of the world's scoreboard. We get into the fascinating science of why women's nervous systems run on oxytocin and men's run on dopamine, and how we’re literally not wired for hustle culture the same way. Maria gets vulnerable about becoming a "human doing" instead of a "human being," and Brooke drops the line that's going to live in your head rent-free: "My value comes from my being and not my doing!” So, so good! This episode  is a roadmap. Save it, screenshot it, send it to your group chat. Enjoy

HEALERS & HEAL LINERS


Healing a success wound happens on 4 levels. Brooke breaks it down: emotional (feel what you've been outrunning), mental (rewire the story that worth = output), behavioral (change how you actually show up day-to-day), and spiritual (reconnect to something bigger than your résumé). 


Redefine success on your terms by your values, your core states of being, and your purpose. Stop using the world's scoreboard. Brooke's 3 pillars give you a new one: what you value, how you want to feel (peace, joy, presence — not just "successful"), and what you believe you're here for. 


You can still be ambitious — just from wholeness, not wounding. This isn't about quitting your dreams. As Brooke says, "our ambition has two power sources — our wounding and our wholeness." Same drive, completely different fuel. One burns you out. The other fills you up. You get to choose which one you're running on.

Hey, Heal Squad! Today's episode dives into the hidden emotional patterns so many high achievers are carrying… and why success still doesn’t feel like enough.Yup, this episode is for all of us who have crushed those work goals, hit a promotion, but yet,  weirdly still feels empty on the other side of it. Brooke Taylor…a career coach, former Google leader, and author of Healing the Success Wound  unpacks why so many of us (especially high-achieving women) tie our self-worth to our output and end up burned out, anxious, and chasing a finish line that keeps moving. Brooke breaks down what a "success wound" actually is, the three roots of where it comes from (hint, hint...it's cultural, psychological, and emotional), and why your childhood gold stars might still be running your nervous system today. She also gets real about her own rock-bottom moment: sexual harassment at Google, her dad's terminal cancer diagnosis, and getting sober at 24, all in the same month. But from that. Brooke shares the first thing that truly began healing her own success wounds and why redefining success may be the key to finally feeling fulfilled. If you’ve ever felt like no matter how much you accomplish it’s still not enough… this episode is going to hit home.

HEALERS & HEAL LINERS


A success wound = when you only feel valuable when you're achieving. Brooke calls it the "empty cup." Every win you pour in (the promotion, the money, the applause) drains right back out because the cup itself is cracked. 


There are 3 roots of the success wound: Cultural ( we were trained to measure our worth by what we produce), Psychological (childhood taught us that love and approval are earned by performing), Emotional (we lost touch with who we are underneath what we do)


Awareness is where the healing starts. The moment you can name the wound, you take your power back. You're not broken — you're conditioned, and conditioning can be rewired.

Hey Heal Squad! SO many beautiful, unexpected, emotional, magical things happened this week and we cannot wait to tell you all about them. First up… we’re finally breaking down everything that happened at our very first Heal Squad Day of Reset,  and let’s just say, the last-minute pivots ended up becoming the biggest miracles of the day. We get into the emotional moments from the event, including the powerful Yoga Nidra and ecstatic dance sessions that had people crying, releasing emotions, reconnecting with joy, and honestly just letting YEARS of heaviness leave their bodies. Maria also opens up about the unexpected messages she received during meditation and the huge lesson she learned about finally leaving the guilt behind and taking care of herself too.. And yes, somehow Maria’s self-driving Tesla also became part of the nervous system healing journey.  Then we shift into some very real health revelations. Maria shares how removing dairy and inflammatory foods from her diet completely changed her body…reducing inflammation, bloating, puffiness…even cellulite. She gets super honest about the symptoms she thought were “normal” and what finally helped her start feeling like herself again. Oh! And somehow we also spiral into a hilarious but life-changing conversation about flossers… because apparently we’ve all been flossing wrong this whole time. Basically, this episode feels like one giant catch-up session … full of breakthroughs, laughs, nervous system resets..basically the reminders we all probably need this week. Enjoy!
