About this episode
Hey Heal Squad! What happens when two moms in their 40s look back at their 20-year-old selves? Let’s just say…there’s a lot of reflection, a lot of honesty, and a whole lot of “wow!” And honestly, this conversation couldn’t be more perfect for Women’s History Month. Today, Maria’s longtime friend, Emmy Award–winning host, producer, and entrepreneur Jeannie Mai joins her in the studio for a real, heart-to-heart conversation about motherhood, womanhood and boundaries. They talk about how coming up in the entertainment industry in their 20s meant being open, friendly, and eager to please … and how both of them learned later in life that without boundaries, that openness can leave you vulnerable. Jeannie shares how everything shifted for her in her 40s, and why she’s now teaching her daughter Monaco about confidence and self-protection early (even through jiu-jitsu!). Maria also gives a little Heal Squad insider moment about why she’s raising her daughter Athena mostly sugar-free and how her family history with diabetes completely shaped that decision. We love how deep this episode gets about breaking generational patterns, protecting your peace, and raising daughters who know their worth. Enjoy, Heal Squad!
