✨ A NEW SEASON OF HEAL2FEEL IS COMING SOON! ✨

We’re getting ready to bring you a brand-new season of Heal2Feel with new conversations, new guests, and more of the honest, thought-provoking discussions you love.

While we get ready, we’re bringing back one of our favorite conversations. In this encore episode, hypnotherapist Joe Tabbanella joins Heal2Feel for a fascinating deep dive into the subconscious mind, manifestation, relationships, limiting beliefs, and our ability to create meaningful change in our lives.

What if the patterns keeping you stuck aren’t permanent — but simply programs your mind has learned along the way?

After experiencing his own remarkable journey with visualization and manifestation, Joe became fascinated with understanding why these practices can work. That curiosity ultimately led him to the Hypnosis Motivation Institute and a career in hypnotherapy, where he has conducted thousands of sessions helping people better understand and shift deeply ingrained patterns.

Joe explains the difference between simply thinking about change and creating an experience powerful enough for the subconscious mind to begin responding differently.

In this encore episode, we explore:

• How Joe’s incredible lottery story sparked his lifelong study of manifestation
• What hypnotherapy actually is — and how it differs from traditional talk therapy
• Why visualization alone may not be enough to create change
• How limiting beliefs and childhood experiences can shape adult behavior
• Why we can repeatedly attract the same types of relationships
• How unresolved emotions can keep us stuck in familiar patterns
• The importance of surrender, acceptance, and learning to sit with discomfort
• Why getting specific about what you want matters when manifesting
• How to reverse-engineer a seemingly impossible goal into achievable steps
• The difference between being driven by fear and moving toward s

Joe also shares practical techniques for recognizing old emotional patterns without allowing them to dictate your next move — and explains why creating a clear internal picture of the life, career, or relationship you want can be an important first step toward changing what you accept in the present.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, repeated the same relationship patterns, struggled with limiting beliefs, or wondered whether manifestation is more than simply “thinking positively,” this encore conversation offers a completely different way to look at the power of the mind.

In this powerful encore episode, we sit down with Lila Dayani, a genetic counselor and founder of Genevieve Health, and Stephanie Levich, founder of Family Match Consulting, to break down the often misunderstood world of fertility, genetics, IVF, and surrogacy.

From the emotional reality of infertility to the science behind genetic testing, this conversation sheds light on the paths so many families take—but few openly discuss.

Stephanie shares how she helps intended parents navigate surrogacy with confidence, turning fear into clarity during one of life’s most vulnerable journeys. As she says, “it’s really frickin scary… you’re envisioning a stranger carrying your baby” — but with the right guidance, that fear transforms into trust.

Lila dives into the importance of proactive genetic testing—before pregnancy—and how having the right information can be life-changing (and even life-saving).

MJ opens up about her own deeply personal fertility journey, reminding us that there is no shame in how you build your family—only strength, resilience, and love.

This episode is for anyone who:

• Is thinking about starting a family
• Has struggled with infertility
• Is curious about IVF, surrogacy, or genetic testing
• Or simply wants to feel less alone in the process

✨ However your family comes to be… your journey is valid.

In this powerful encore episode, hypnotherapist Lisa Machenberg (aka The HypnoMom) joins MJ and Liat for a mind-expanding conversation on the subconscious mind, relationships, and the unseen forces shaping our lives.

Lisa shares her incredible personal story of IVF, soul connections, and how her children—and even embryos—found their way back to her in the most unexpected way. The conversation dives deep into the mind-body connection, the science and magic behind hypnosis, and how our thoughts directly impact our physical and emotional reality.

Liat and MJ kick off the new year with a real-time life update: MJ's "2.0" era, co-parenting + post-separation boundaries, and what it's like returning to reality TV without slipping back into "messy for the cameras."

• Friendship repair + forgiveness: letting go of "stay mad forever" loyalty

• On-screen dynamics: why some relationships read as "trauma-bonded" vs. truly compatible

• Rebuilding after chaos: releasing survival mode (freeze/flight/fawn) and learning to live

In this episode, we sit down with holistic dating coach Amy to talk about what most of us were never taught: relational skills—and how to intentionally choose love from an aligned place (instead of repeating patterns from fear). Amy breaks down her Four Pillars of Aligned Love and shares how she helps clients shift their energy, stop "dating from the wound," and build real, sustainable chemistry.

You'll hear why "spark" isn't the whole story, what emotional maturity actually looks like early on, how to spot readiness (and why it's the hardest pillar), and how gratitude can completely change your dating experience. This one is part dating strategy, part spiritual reset—aka Heal 2 Feel style.

• The Four Pillars of Aligned Love: Chemistry, Emotional Maturity, Core Values, Readiness

• Why "no spark in 5 minutes" is usually a trap—and what real chemistry is

• How to stop attracting emotionally unavailable partners

• The "Choose Me" lens (and how to flip it into Choose Yourself)

• Why gratitude is a superpower in dating (and in life)

• How childhood wounds quietly shape adult relationship patterns

• What Amy means by "dating from the wound" vs dating from love
