1049. Jenny McCarthy: Overcoming Cancel Culture & The Gut-Brain Connection That Helped Her Son

Published 11 months, 3 weeks ago
Description

Hey, Heal Squad! Today’s episode is downright jaw-dropping with the one and only Jenny McCarthy! Actress, New York Times bestselling author, host of The Masked Singer (Wednesdays on FOX!), and founder of the Vegan, cruelty-free beauty brand Formless Beauty, Jenny holds nothing back in this must-listen conversation with Maria!


Maria and Jenny chat about personal healing journeys, career highs and lows (can you believe she said no to Oprah!), and Jenny gets incredibly real about her son’s near-death experience, his autism diagnosis, and the intense backlash she faced for advocating for his health.


But that’s not all—Jenny reveals the behind-the-scenes chaos at The View, including shocking details about how producers reshaped the show to protect Barbara Walters amid her declining health. Plus, she shares the alternative healing treatments that helped her son, like a gut-brain connection that changed everything, and the mindful techniques she used to manifest his recovery & her husband Donnie Wahlberg.


This episode is packed with shocking revelations, raw truth, and unstoppable resilience from someone who’s truly been through it all. We loved this conversation with Jenny, and we know you will too!



HEALERS & HEAL LINERS: 


  • Healing & Gut-Brain Connection: Jenny trusted her gut—both literally and intuitively—when it came to her son’s health, using this knowledge to support his improvement after his autism diagnosis.
  • Manifestation & Law of Attraction: Jenny believes visualizing positive outcomes helped her overcome obstacles, including her son’s health.
  • Resilience & Reinvention: From getting her dream jobs, to walking away from major opportunities, then finding success with Masked Singer, Jenny proves that persistence and staying true to yourself always wins.
