Heal Squad x Maria Menounos

Happy Pot Luck Saturday! Organ stores, three-cent book rentals, record-store experts, black lights, and Thomas Jefferson. Apparently, we’re not quite done with the mall. We talk about Wurlitzer organs, Waldenbooks, B. Dalton, Barnes & Noble, and the days when hanging around a bookstore was actually something people did. We talk Sam Goody, Musicland, Strawberries Records & Tapes, Newbury Comics, and the record-store guys who could hear one random lyric, flip through a bin, and know exactly what you were looking for. Plus, RadioShack, Circuit City, Egghead, walkie-talkies, police scanners, and the people who knew how all of it worked. We also talk Natural Wonders, the Discovery Channel Store, Warner Bros. Studio Store, Brookstone, Sharper Image, and Spencer Gifts… complete with the back room, purple lights, lava lamps and T-shirts. And, only on Pot Luck Saturday could Spencer Gifts be discussed in the same breath as John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. It’s a Pot Luck Saturday with mall memories, percussionists, the smell of Wicks ’N’ Sticks, and a few more nostalgic Pot Luck dishes we almost forgot to serve. We’ll Talk Shawty!

Happy Regular Guy Friday! We fooled them again and somehow made it through another week—and the Boston Film Festival! We talk putting one foot in front of the other, trusting the process, and why sometimes you have to keep moving even when the people around you can't see where you're going. Leadership can mean taking the punches, playing the long game, and waiting for everyone else to finally say, “Oh...now I get it.” We talk the Boston Film Festival premiere of Bobo Saves Christmas, seeing Bobo become a movie star on the big screen, and how a chaotic 10-day shoot somehow became a movie with a whole lot of heart. We talk great actors, the people others underestimate, and why bringing different talents together can make everybody better. We talk Emerson master classes, 65 Roses, the legendary Go Away T-shirt, fair-season scams, spending $200 to win three $4 stuffed animals, and the reminder to appreciate the people who show up for you along the way. Put one foot in front of the other, trust the process, and remember why we're here: learn from our mistakes, help each other, and have a few laughs along the way. Happy Friday. We’ll Talk Shawtly!

Hey Heal Squad! We’re throwing it back to one of our favorite conversations with Human Design expert Jenna Zoe, and if you’ve ever wondered why something that seems to work for EVERYONE else just doesn’t work for you…this one may explain a lot. Jenna breaks down the five Human Design energy types and why understanding yours can change the way you work, make decisions, use your intuition and even recognize when you’re living out of alignment. Maria also discovers she’s a Manifesting Generator and learns why that may explain her ability to juggle a million different things at once. But the bigger takeaway is something we could probably all use: maybe you don’t need another person telling you the “right” way to live. Jenna explains how Human Design can help us recognize our natural gifts, separate our own inner guidance from outside conditioning, and start working WITH who we are instead of constantly trying to become someone else. If you’ve never explored your Human Design, or you know your type but still have no idea what it actually means, this is a great place to start. Enjoy!

Hey, Heal Squad! We’re back with with the Gene Keys founder Richard Rudd, and this time, things get PERSONAL.Richard takes Maria deeper into her own Gene Keys profile, revealing what it says about her purpose, her relationship with struggle and resilience, and some of the shadows she may be here to work through. And let’s just say, there’s a moment where Maria literally calls the reading a “bullseye.” But before diving into Maria’s profile, Richard gets incredibly vulnerable about his own. He shares how being sent away to boarding school as a young child led him to emotionally shut down and repress years of pain and rage and the pretty wild experience that finally helped him release it. But here’s where it gets fascinating: Richard says hidden underneath that wound of repression was one of his greatest gifts: his intuition and access to a deeper wisdom that would eventually help him create the Gene Keys. And that leads to one of the biggest ideas from today’s conversation: What if the parts of ourselves we’ve spent years fighting are actually hiding something we need? Richard also shares why healing sometimes begins by simply saying YES to ourselves, why our need to control everything may actually be making life harder, and why some of us need to finally give ourselves permission for life to feel a little easier. If you’ve ever wondered why it can be so hard to let go of control or what gift might be hiding underneath your own wounds, there is SO much in this conversation for you.

HEALERS & HEAL LINERS

Your Deepest Wound May Be Hiding One of Your Greatest Gifts: Richard shares how his own wound of repression was connected, in his Gene Keys interpretation, to his gift of intuition and higher wisdom.

Sometimes Healing Starts With Saying YES to Yourself: Richard says that when he fully said yes to his own healing, the right people and experiences began appearing to help him face what he couldn’t face alone. His takeaway: we still have to be willing to open the door.

Control May Be the Very Thing Keeping Life Hard: Maria’s Gene Keys reading sparks a powerful conversation about trying to control the details, our bodies, other people and everything around us. Richard’s message for Maria is especially powerful: give yourself permission for life to not be so hard. The lesson isn’t always to try harder, sometimes it’s learning to let go.

Hey, Heal Squad! Today, we’re diving into something Maria discovered recently and became completely fascinated by: The Gene Keys. And if you’ve never heard of them before, don’t worry, we’re starting from the beginning! The Gene Keys founder Richard Rudd joins Maria to explain what they actually are, how this whole system of self-discovery came to him, and why he believes so much of the wisdom we spend our lives searching for outside of ourselves may already be living inside us. And of course, Maria had the same questions you probably do: Is this like astrology? A birth chart? Human Design? Listen to Richard explain how it's different and why the things we struggle with most may actually be hiding some of our greatest gifts. He also gets into how conflict can contain the path to peace and why our trauma and shadow patterns could be connected to our own unique genius. We also get into the art of contemplation and how it can help us stop looking for someone else to tell us who we are and start reconnecting with our own inner wisdom. So if you’ve ever found yourself searching for answers about who you really are, why certain patterns keep showing up in your life, or what you’re supposed to take away from the hard stuff, this conversation may give you a completely different way to look at it all.And let’s just say, this is the PERFECT conversation to kick off everything we’ll be exploring at the upcoming Heal Squad Retreat at Canyon Ranch as we all work on finding our own guide back to ourselves. Enjoy!

HEALERS & HEAL LINERS

Your Shadow May Be Hiding Your Greatest Gift: Richard explains that the patterns and struggles we want to escape may actually contain the seeds of our creativity, wisdom and unique gifts.

Stop Searching Outside Yourself for the Answer: Gene Keys isn’t about someone else telling you who you are. Richard says the wisdom is already inside your body, and the Gene Keys tools are simply meant to help you access it.

There Can Be Something Beautiful on the Other Side of the Hard Stuff: Whether it’s anxiety, overwhelm, relationship struggles or trauma, Richard’s philosophy is that working through the shadow can reveal the lesson or gift on the other side, and that perspective can create hope.
