Heal Squad x Maria Menounos

Hey, Heal Squad! It's another edition of What Worked This Week, and this one might be Maria's favorite yet. Fresh off her trip to Greece, she's sharing the biggest lesson she didn't expect to learn: sometimes the best things happen when you stop planning every minute and leave room for life to surprise you. From a spontaneous visit to the healing island of Tinos to setting healthier boundaries with herself, Maria explains why protecting your peace might be the key to finding yourself again. She also shares her favorite Greece travel recommendations (including the breathtaking Odera Hotel and why Tinos belongs on your bucket list)!, why stargazing, family time, and meaningful conversations ended up being the most memorable parts of the trip, and how even work felt different once she stopped rushing and let her vacation unfold naturally. Plus, she's rounding up all the practical things that actually worked this week…travel wise! Like, the viral Sudoku Packing Method that helped her pack lighter, Kevin's portable cooling fan that became her travel MVP, and the simple circadian rhythm trick she swears helped her beat jet lag. She also shares the sweet language hack that had Athena speaking more Greek than ever before! Such a fun update on life right now for Maria and we hope you enjoy it!

Happy Sunday!! Welcome to Heal Squad's The Sunday Set Up. Life lessons to help you start the week. This week, we talk about summer travel, weather delays, and a trip to the legendary Tanglewood. We talk about Arthur Fiedler, Tanglewoods,Great Woods, and reminisce about some of New England's most iconic musical traditions. We talk about the timeless motto of Highlights magazine: "Fun with a Purpose." We discuss creating a nostalgic magazine network to coincide with the novelty ice cream network and revisit Flat Stanley, the early DARK days of cable television, and growing up before every form of entertainment was just a click away. We talk about why everyone in Greece seems so healthy and non-consumers. Christmas being only five months away, and that Halloween decorations are already showing up in stores. This week, ask yourself: How can you bring Fun with a Purpose into Your Life! Have a great week! We'll talk Shawtly.

Happy Pot Luck Saturday! This week we're taking a nostalgic trip back to a childhood that looked very different from today. Before Google, smartphones, YouTube, and social media, so much of what shaped us came from the simple things: magazines in the waiting room, books from the library, classroom reading cards, puzzles at the kitchen table, and the freedom to be bored enough to let our imaginations take over. We're unpacking the forgotten ecosystem that quietly raised an entire generation and asking what we've gained, what we've lost, and what might be making a comeback. From the child psychologists behind the "Fun with a Purpose" philosophy to the surprising lessons hidden inside games like Hidden Pictures and Goofus & Gallant, Kev explores how these small moments built focus, curiosity, empathy, and a lifelong love of learning. PLS bonus! AI articles, the truth about negative online comments and bots and why physical books and magazines may be more attractive to this new gen.

Happy International Lonely Guy Friday, broadcasting from Athens with limited Greek, Coke Zero investigations, and billion-dollar brains. Today Kev gets into how one of Greece’s biggest stars proves you don’t need the biggest audience (you need the right niche!), and how a working vacation led to a humbling realization that the world’s most fulfilled people share one uncommon trait: extraordinary self-awareness. He chats how the Enneagram goes beyond describing what you do and uncovers why you do it: what you fear, what drives you, and how your personality changes under stress. How the same behavior can come from completely different emotional engines, and why understanding those motives can transform relationships, leadership, and even your family. Then, how your greatest strength can quietly become your greatest limitation and how replacing “That’s just who I am” with “That’s the strategy I learned to use” can completely change how you see yourself. Kev also discovers he’s a Type 2 Helper with strong Achiever and Challenger traits and why that explains a lifetime of building, protecting, overextending, and occasionally forgetting himself along the way. Plus, how successful families hold regular meetings to improve their relationships, why awareness is the ultimate competitive advantage, and why there are people in the castle and equally valuable people on the ground. Also, why simply showing up opens unexpected doors … and why the opportunity you’re waiting for may already be waiting for you. Bye Betches!

Hey, Heal Squad! Summer is still going and we thought it’d be great for this TBT to throw it back to an episode all about the “Summer of Heal.” In this episode, Maria shares the simple habits, mindset shifts, and daily practices that have made a real difference in both her mental and physical well-being. It's a reminder that healing doesn't always come from one big life-changing moment, sometimes it's the small, intentional choices we make every single day that create the biggest transformation. However you spend the rest of your summer, don't forget to make time for yourself, you deserve it!
