Pot Luck Saturday: The Pains (and Healing) In Parting With Belongings
Happy Pot Luck Saturday Heal Squad! Saturdays are the perfect day to clean, organize and empty those closets and drawers and Keven and Kelsey are doing just that! How to overcome the pain and guilt behind ridding yourself of items. Why hanging on to them is actually far more painful and detrimental. How society has falsely taught us to strive to 'have' things in order to 'be' happy - and how it's an appetite that can never be satisfied, often leading to greater emptiness and terrible consequences. How ridding material items will not only lighten you but also help you to rid yourself of other heavy and toxic forces in your life. Sorry, no PLS signature outro, Heal Squad:( Oh and even though Pot Luck Saturday is totally #grit, @thekelseymeyer doesn't want you getting used to them.

Regular Guy Friday ep 104: How Internal Energy Alone Can Alter Difficult External Situations and Dating Life Today
Its an RGF lite this week, kids, same great content just with half the takeaways! @thekelseymeyer has deleted all her dating apps prompting a discussion on modern dating and dating in LA. The chat includes a few dating fails and horror stories from Kelse and fellow 20 something @karoeliza. When are you usually able to find true love? How gathering childhood data in dating downtime could be the key. Why gathering that same childhood data from your past could reveal crucial insight into the mistakes you make in the present - and how knowing so can change that. Tired of not being seen, mistreated or taken advantage of? The ENERGY you emote - NOT your words and actions - can amend that. Plus why LA is the city of opportunity AND opportunists and how everyone here is 42 going on 17.
