Author: Heal Squad April 6, 2026 Duration: 35:44
Hey Heal Squad! It’s another What Worked This Week with Maria (and this one is packed in the best way!).Today, Maria shares 5 real-life takeaways to help you stress less, simplify your life, and travel smarter…just in time for spring break! And honestly…these are the kinds of tips you’ll actually use. First up: stress. Since being in El Salvador, Maria’s found it so much easier to step away from the noise and recalibrate. There’s something about the beach that just does it. But then…cue a very real moment…she thought she forgot something very vital to her health: her insulin! Full panic. What happened next? Let’s just say it turned into something surprisingly positive you won’t expect. Then we get into her fool-proof packing system. She has the best hacks that kept her totally organized on this trip.And because travel can wreck your gut sometimes, Maria shares the two must-pack essentials she never leaves home without. If you deal with stomach issues…this is gold. She’s also loving a few tiny but impactful upgrades lately….like her new go-to facial cleanser from Formless Beauty (scroll below for a discount!). Plus, if your day is packed with Zoom calls, don’t miss her easy movement trick to boost blood flow without leaving your desk. And finally…a little plot twist: Minimalist Maria is emerging! Her move to El Salvador has helped her seriously downsize, and the shift has brought a whole new level of clarity, freedom, and healing. (Wait until you hear how many hangers she has now!) If you’ve been craving more peace, simplicity, or just a few small shifts that make a big difference, listen to this!  Join Us at Day of Reset: https://www.healsquad.com/reset  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: https://stylecrew.macys.com/@mariamenounos EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/host AG1:  https://drinkag1.com/healsquad  Biocidin Remove & Sbi Protect: https://shopmy.us/shop/collections/106879 More Recent Finds: https://shopmy.us/shop/collections/3873481 Heal Squad listeners 10% off Formless Beauty w/ code: HEALSQUAD10 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.
