Heal Squad x Maria Menounos

Happy Sunday! Welcome to Heal Squad's The Sunday Set Up. Life lessons to help you start the week. This week, we talk about expectations and how much of our disappointment may come from expecting life, other people, and even ourselves to behave exactly the way we think they should. We talk about letting go of attachment to outcomes, why we can get hurt when others don't respond with the same care or consideration we would, and the simple idea that maybe life gets a little easier when we stop expecting everything to go according to plan. Sometimes nothing is actually wrong — life just isn't matching the picture we had in our heads. We talk about the idea that we can have a hundred different ways for something to feel wrong and only one very specific way for it to feel right. Maybe the goal isn't getting everything perfectly into place. Maybe it's recognizing how often we're focusing on what's "muddled" instead of appreciating everything that's already okay. This week, ask yourself: What expectations am I holding onto? Am I letting someone else's actions determine how I feel? Have I created so many rules for what "right" looks like that I'm missing what's already good? Have a great week, Heal Squad. We'll Talk Shawtly!

Happy Pot Luck Saturday! Twelve albums for a penny, jazz fusion, fake apartment numbers, and 22,000 CDs. Yes, we’re finally talking about Columbia House. We talked about the Columbia Record and Tape Club, the little cards tucked inside magazines, waiting for that cardboard box to arrive, and the fine print that turned one innocent penny into- well- a lot more. We talk about the albums you actually wanted, the ones you definitely didn’t, and the teenagers who discovered there were ways around the system. We talk about Hootie & the Blowfish, Better Than Ezra, the documentary The Target Shoots First, and David Russo — the New Jersey guy who used 1,630 aliases and 12 mailboxes to get more than 22,000 CDs before the Postal Inspectors finally caught up with him. It’s a Pot Luck Saturday with mail-order music, teenage schemes, forgotten CDs, Lester Wunderman, the Advertising Hall of Fame, and the days when getting a box of records in the mail felt like an event. We’ll Talk Shawtly!

Happy Regular Guy Friday! We fooled them again and somehow made it through another week!Fall is officially here, the heat has been switched on, and the digressions have gone quadratic. We talk about why the decades used to feel so different, the business lesson hiding inside the Gold Rush, and why sometimes the smartest move is selling the maps and shovels instead of chasing the gold. We talk about the importance of knowing your players, and occasionally letting the Harriet Olsens of the world use their powers for good. Plus, NECCO Wafers are somehow still alive, “sundries” deserves a comeback, and old Art Bell predictions may actually offer us a little hope: after decades of doom and gloom that never quite happened, maybe we’re going to be okay after all. Try to remember why we are here: To learn from mistakes, help each other, have a few laughs along the way. We’ll Talk Shawtly!

Hey, Heal Squad! We’re throwing it back to one of our favorite conversations with comedian, writer, actor, and now Dancing with the Stars podcast host Andy Richter!You probably know Andy as Conan O’Brien’s longtime hilarious sidekick, but in this conversation, we get to see a much more vulnerable side of him. Andy opens up about his mental health journey, navigating rejection and uncertainty in Hollywood, and how comedy can become a way to process the hard stuff, find perspective, and keep moving forward. He also shares what decades in entertainment have taught him about staying positive when your career doesn’t go according to plan, the advice he’d give anyone trying to break into the business, and the one quality he believes is at the heart of truly great comedy.It’s funny, honest, unexpectedly healing, and filled with advice that goes way beyond Hollywood. Whether you’re chasing a dream, navigating a tough season, or just need the reminder that sometimes laughter really can help us through, this one is worth revisiting. Enjoy!

Hey Heal Squad! We’re back with Nobody Wants This star Jackie Tohn, and today she gets incredibly candid about what life actually looks and feels like after a preventive double mastectomy following her BRCA1 discovery. She talks about waking up with reconstructed breasts, what surprised her about recovery, losing sensation in her breasts and nipples, and the complicated reality of knowing you made the right decision while still grieving the body you had before. And this one hit us: before surgery, Jackie did a nude photo shoot to document her breast, but she still hasn’t been able to look at the pictures.But in true Jackie fashion, there was also a LOT of joy with her mastectomy. She takes us inside her hilarious “Boob Voyage” party, the incredible women who showed up for her, and the support system that carried her through one of the hardest chapters of her life.Then we lighten things WAY up and get into Nobody Wants This! Jackie spills on her castmates, her longtime friendship with Kristen Bell, what everyone is really like when the cameras stop rolling, and a truly insane prank involving Justine Lupe, Kristen and what Kristen thought was a jug of pee. Yes, you read that correctly.

HEALERS & HEAL LINERS

You can know you made the right decision and still grieve what you lost. Jackie opens up about accepting her reconstructed breasts while admitting she still isn’t ready to look at photos of her body before surgery.

Healing doesn’t have to look serious all the time. Jackie turned an incredibly difficult chapter into a “Boob Voyage,” surrounding herself with the people who loved her and finding moments of joy even when she was scared and grieving.

Sometimes the people who’ve been through it become your greatest resource. Jackie shares how women who had already faced mastectomy helped guide her, and how she’s now passing that same support forward to other women navigating their own surgeries.
