862. How to Be Okay with Saying ‘No’

Hey Kweenz, we did it again.  We made it to another Friday. Kels is off to the airport for LA which led to the discussion of Rockstar friends vs. Real friends, surrounding yourself with like minded people in business and life, how every time you go on a trip you come back a different person and how you can never really go home. Kels and Kev also broke down the real dangers and downside to the notion of 'Toxic Positivity.'  Kelsey offered tips on self tanning and lip gloss while Kev teased a Night of 1000 Kweenz (hosting a yard party for 998 fellow Kweenz).  We also learned that, in life, "Losers Love Limbo" and why.  We learned how and why losers hate resolution. Perhaps most importantly, Kelsey teaches us the proper way to say bitch....we mean 'betch.'  AND how we will now open all episodes of RGF with 'Hay Kweenz' and close each one with 'Bye Betches.' --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/better-together-w-maria/support

Hey Kweenz, we fooled 'em again and made it through another week. Yes, it's Friday.... YOUR day and THE day for us Regular Guys and Gals, living in this irregular world, to come together. This week we ask what's your 'Life One Liner.' We also ask what's your 'Shadow Word' and what feeds your shadow self?  We discuss how to feed the shadow self in a means to help not hurt with Kev and Kels citing their own life examples. We define what 'charges' are and how they vastly affect our reactions. We discuss how even though we acquire enough coping tools on Better Together to have a hardware store of self help equipment, we still need still time to use and apply them!   We discussed AGAIN how civilians only learn from lessons they pay for and how samurai accept all the FREE lessons they can.  We offer a couple of RGF tips and.... Winnie peed on our on studio table , mid show, no joking. However, we played through sporting our new RGF hoodies aka our 'fake merch' never for once forgetting that we are all Kweenz. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/better-together-w-maria/support
