Episode Details

Hey Heal Squad! Now, we know you all love Maria's recommendations on what's working for her each week, and don't worry…she's got a few of those for you today. But this episode goes a little deeper than products, trends, and wellness hacks. This week, Maria shares something that genuinely worked for her, and it came in the form of a powerful Bruce Lee quote that completely shifted how she's thinking about peace, forgiveness, boundaries, and where we choose to put our energy. (Trust us, you're going to want to save this one, it's below!). She also opens up about a family wedding she recently attended and how reconnecting with relatives she hasn't spent meaningful time with in decades unexpectedly filled her cup in the best way. That leads to a really honest conversation about forgiveness, family healing, and how letting go doesn't have to mean giving someone unlimited access to your life. We get into all of it.Of course, we also take a detour into a very unexpected rabbit hole: foot health. Is anyone else suddenly terrified of getting bunions? Just us? Maria shares why she's rethinking nearly every shoe in her closet and the surprising things she's learning about foot health along the way.And yes, there are products! Maria shares her newest obsession: a pair of jeans from White House Black Market that she can't stop wearing. (FYI: the cream pair is sold out, but we've got an alternative for you below!) Plus, a plot twist….one of her favorite kitchen gadgets, the one responsible for all those homemade nut milks, officially stopped working, and Athena’s big girl chats! Yeah, it's been a very emotional week lol. A little wellness, a little shopping, a little family healing, and a lot of perspective. We hope you enjoy this one, friends!
