Better Together With Maria Menounos

Happy Throwback Thursday, Heal Squad! We’re bringing back an episode that dives deep into the power of self-compassion and embracing our mistakes. Maria and Kelsey share their insights from a previous episode with Mel Robbins, where she breaks down her transformative “High Five Habit”—a simple practice of high-fiving yourself in the mirror every morning. This habit is more than a gesture; it’s an act of self-love and acceptance that flips self-criticism on its head.

In her book, Mel shares how this daily ritual can reshape your perspective and serve as a powerful anchor when life’s storms hit. We talk about releasing guilt, letting go of self-doubt, and moving forward without the heavy weight of self-judgment. Maria even shares a recent experience where this habit helped her turn a minor car mishap into a moment of kindness rather than self-blame.

• Gratitude as a Compass. Mel and Maria explore how practicing gratitude isn’t just positive thinking; it’s a grounding practice that strengthens resilience.
• Celebrate Yourself. From sticky notes to mirror moments, discover practical ways to make self-love part of your routine.
• Unblocking Mental Lint. It clogs your mind and keeps you from celebrating you. Our daily thoughts and experiences can clog our mental space and how the High Five Habit can help clear the path for a more positive mindset.
