## Resource

Hey Heal Squad! If you've ever wondered how people find the strength to keep going after life completely changes, this episode is for you. Today, Maria sits down with Kelly Rizzo…multimedia personality, founder of Eat Travel Rock, and host of the Comfort Food podcast. Many of you may also know Kelly as the wife of the late Bob Saget, the beloved comedian and Full House icon who passed away unexpectedly in 2022.What started as a conversation about coffee (yes, Maria and Kelly compare their favorite coffee orders!) quickly turned into a powerful discussion about purpose, love, resilience, and what happens when life doesn't go according to plan. Before Kelly became a voice for people navigating grief, she was rebuilding her own life… spending more than a decade chasing her passions for food, travel, and music—often questioning whether she should keep going. Kelly shares why success isn't about followers, fame, or going viral. It's about passion, consistency, patience, and building something meaningful one step at a time. Then we get into the love story. Kelly shares how Bob first slid into her DMs, why she initially resisted dating him, and how he spent four nights winning over not just her—but her entire friend group. In classic Bob fashion, he even brought John Mayer along on one of their early dates to help give Kelly the official stamp of approval. It's funny, sweet, unexpected, and a side of Bob that most people never got to see. Kelly also opens up about the relationship they built together, why she believes Bob had finally found the love he had been searching for, and the moments that made their marriage so special. And just before we pause for Part 2, Kelly shares the beginning of the story that changed everything—the final night she spoke to Bob, an eerie connect…
