• Regular Guy Friday Ep. 228: How Narcissists Avoid Accountability

  It’s Friday and we fooled them again—made it through another week to bring you another edition of Regular Guy Friday! This week we talk fireworks, frauds, and Fourth of July reflections. From summer scams to seagulls with side agendas, we unpack what it means to take one on the chin—literally and metaphorically. We talk the new Hollywood hustle, where the old power players are now scrambling for relevance, and the real stars are influencers, podcasters, and yes—narcissist hunters. We explore the emotional weight of victimhood, why so few people take accountability, and the rare redemption in doing just that. Plus, some real talk about shame, embarrassment, and the importance of sharing your worst moments if it means someone else can avoid them. From wiring money to a fake landlord to almost buying a scam car off Facebook, this episode is part confessional, part cautionary tale. We talk family carnivals, unpaid dues, and how the grind of blue-collar summer jobs can shape (and scar) a life. And we ask: what if the greatest gift we give each other isn’t advice or money—but just the truth about where we messed up? RGF Bonus: The return of Joey Chestnut, the secret logo of VictimCon, homemade baloney sandwiches, Diet Coke-fueled carney days, and a very special shoutout to Tanya Tucker (whether she wants it or not). Happy Friday. Bye Betches. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy’s Page: Shop My Macy’s Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos’ passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.

• 1107. How to Be a CONSCIOUS Parent: Modern Parenting 101 w/ Dr. Shefali Tsabary

  Hey, Heal Squad! We’re continuing our parenting theme this week with a powerful throwback conversation featuring the brilliant Dr. Shefali Tsabary, 7x NYT bestselling author, psychologist, and founder of the Conscious Parenting movement. Dr. Shefali breaks down exactly what conscious parenting means (and what it doesn’t), why control and obedience can damage connection, and how reparenting yourself is the first step to truly empowering your child. She explains how ego, fear, and identity loss affect our parenting more than we realize… PLUS, we dive into what it means to show up whole, why kids don’t need perfect parents, and how your own triggers are actually the gateway to deep healing. It’s not just about how to parent differently, it's about how to live more consciously and fully as yourself.

• 1106. RAISE Mentally Strong Kids: Emotional Fitness Habits That Make a LIFELONG Difference w/ Dr. Harold Koplewicz

  Hey, Heal Squad! We’re back with part two of our powerful conversation with Dr. Harold Koplewicz, President of the Child Mind Institute, and this one is packed with real tools every parent needs right now! In this episode, Dr. Koplewicz introduces his framework called “Scaffolding Parenting” and explains how it helps raise emotionally strong, self-regulating kids without hovering or over-fixing. He breaks down the difference between healthy support and helicoptering, and how to know when to step in (and when to let your child build resilience). We also get into the top questions every parent should be asking to emotionally check in with their kids, how to teach emotional literacy from preschool through the teen years, and why routines like family gratitude, reading time, and exercise are essential for mental wellness. These are tools every parent needs in their back pockets, whether your child is 3, 13, or 23!  HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS: Scaffolding parenting builds strength without overstepping. It’s not about fixing—it’s about supporting your child’s natural growth, so they feel capable of handling life’s challenges with confidence. Your routines are shaping their mental health. Family dinners, reading rituals, and screen-free zones help kids feel safe, connected, and emotionally anchored. Kids need a vocabulary for their feelings. Naming emotions helps children process them. The earlier they can say “I feel nervous” or “I feel proud,” the better they can self-regulate under stress.

• 1105. The CRISIS Affecting 1 in 5 Kids: About Children’s Mental Health & What You Can Actually DO About It Now w/ Dr. Harold Koplewicz

  Hey, Heal Squad! This week, we are joined by the brilliant Dr. Harold Koplewicz, President of the Child Mind Institute, to talk about what’s really going on with youth mental health. He is not only one of the most trusted voices in youth mental health, but he is here to tell us exactly what you can do to help. From rising suicide rates to anxiety at age 10, Dr. Koplewicz helps us understand why so many kids are struggling, and the red flags every pediatrician and parent needs to look out for.  He breaks down the effects of screen time on dopamine and brain development, the emotional toll of comparison culture, and the exact age ranges when kids are most vulnerable. PLUS, they get into what pediatricians are missing and how to spot early red flags in toddlers all the way through teens. And the best part? He shares simple (but life-changing) tools to help your kids build emotional fitness, starting now. You’re going to want this in your parenting toolkit. Tune in!!  HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS: Kids need emotional fitness as much as physical fitness. Just like sit-ups build strength, tools like breathwork, body awareness, and emotion naming build mental resilience—and need to be taught young. Screens are disrupting dopamine and brain development. Constant stimulation from devices hijacks attention, wrecks sleep, and increases anxiety—especially for kids with pre-existing mental health challenges. Suicide is now the second leading cause of death in kids and teens. Most parents don’t realize that adolescence is the most vulnerable window for impulsive decisions, and untreated emotional pain can quickly escalate into crisis. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy’s Page: Shop My Macy’s Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join the In-Person Heal Waitlist: https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES: Dr. Harold Koplewicz Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drharoldkoplewicz/?hl=en  Child Mind Institute Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/childmindinstitute/  Website: https://childmind.org/  Journaling App: https://childmind.org/blog/keeping-teens-safe-in-the-mirror-journaling-app/  Book: https://go.shopmy.us/p-20335413  ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos’ passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.

Yes, all from one pressure point. You’ll hear exactly what he did, what points to try, and why her body finally responded to healing in a way it never had before. We also dive into a powerful conversation about the unexpected ways our environment is impacting our health. Maria opens up about a scary moment that revealed food safety and environmental toxins...
