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.

Xavier Dagba
“Radical self-acceptance is the first step towards transformation.”


Curiosity to address addictive tendencies

The need to disconnect AND reconnect mind and body

Emotions carry information

Unresolved emotions and traumas resurface as triggers and addictive behaviors

Radical self-acceptance and developing emotional intelligence

Rewriting stories to break addictive patterns and create healthier habits




Devon Franklin
"Expectation without participation equals devastation."


Recognizing the weight of societal and self-expectations

Communicate your expectations effectively and determine what is within your control

The process is within your control, not the result

Pain as a catalyst for change

Healthy expectations involve self-awareness and communication


Trevor Moawad
"A lot of times in life we can't make things better in the short term, but we can make them a lot worse."


Resistance to change promotes pain and inhibits fulfillment

Change is inevitable, growth is optional

The visualization tool: vividly imagining desired outcomes

Conscious Programming: internal dialogue and external influences

Venting negativity hinders progress

Focus on what you're willing not to do
