RGF Ep. 279: The Crazy Train, Athena's Bday, and Changing Your Story  
Podcast: Heal Squad x Maria Menounos
Published On: Fri Jun 26 2026
Description: It’s Friday and somehow, once again, we fooled them and made it through another week. This week, a cowboy-themed birthday party turns into talk about community, confidence, and the ways life keeps bringing us together. We talk about how the best parties aren’t really about the decorations—they’re about ice breaking, creating spaces where people feel seen, welcomed, and connected. We talk about the people who walk into a room already convinced they’re not enough and how so many of us carry old stories that no longer fit. We dig into the idea that if you want to change your reality, you might have to change your personality.  We talk about getting to the other side of the river, finding your people, and why being around like-minded souls can elevate everyone in the room. Also, how learning to stop recreating the past, getting comfortable with the unfamiliar is key and how the future starts with one different thought. We talk about how Adam West (aka Batman)  is the patron saint of confidence, the owner’s table, Italian goodbyes, why every party needs a theme, and confirmation that sometimes the answer isn’t another meditation—it’s getting some sun, some salt water, and a few good people around you. Happy Friday. We’ll Talk Shawtly!
