1323. Whitney Cummings UNFILTERED: Why ADD Is a Superpower, How Postpartum Depression Crept In + Trusting Your Intuition in Wellness

Author: Heal Squad August 4, 2026 Duration: 46:10
Hey, Heal Squad! We have one of the funniest women in comedy in the studio today….Whitney Cummings! You know her as the creator and star of Whitney, 2 Broke Girls, and the host of the hit podcast Good For You. But today, you're getting a side of Whitney you don't see very often. She kicks things off by sharing the incredibly sweet reason she's admired Maria for years (seriously...it had us all emotional on Maria's birthday!), and from there, the conversation goes everywhere…but in the best way possible.We dive into motherhood after 40, postpartum depression, ADHD, anxiety, Hollywood's impossible beauty standards, female insecurities, navigating the overwhelming wellness world, even Spencer Pratt (yeah, somehow he gets into the convo!). Whitney is as hilarious as you'd expect, but she's also incredibly thoughtful and vulnerable, sharing the ways that helped her heal from childhood trauma and embrace this next chapter of life. It's funny, raw, validating, and one of those conversations that leaves you feeling a little lighter after listening. Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS "Drop the Charges." Whitney shares the mindset shift that helped her let go of childhood resentment, find peace, and stop carrying the weight of her past. Postpartum Wasn't the End, It Was a Software Update. Whitney gets candid about postpartum depression, brain fog, and why reframing that season changed the way she healed. The Power of Mindset. From therapy and placebo to reframing difficult seasons, Maria and Whitney discuss how changing the story you tell yourself can completely change your healing.
