Hey Heal Squad, EP Kev here! This All Star Edition features two interviews I did with Xavier Dagba and Devon Franklin and one Maria did with our friend, the late great Trevor Mowad. These amazing humans discuss strategies for identifying and understanding destructive habits and the role of mindset in breaking free from societal expectations. They share practical tips for building new habits that align with your goals and values while showing you how to love yourself and win. These interviews continue to profoundly impact my life. Whether it's society, or you, creating barriers to your best life, this Heal Squad All Stars edition will help lift them.
