Feel like you've failed at 2022 before it's even started? Haven't got a handle on what you wanna do or accomplish? Here's why that's a good thing. Why you can be more productive by doing less. Why YouTube Yoga Nidra may be THE cure for anxiety. Why alcohol tastes better, the less you drink it and when it tastes best in your 20's. Why you cant always do it alone and why life organizer friends and professionals are worth it.  Why Miley Cyrus is amazing hosting New Year's Eve celebrations.

Hey Kweenz, we fooled 'em again - we made it through another YEAR and to the last Regular Guy Friday of 2021. The Ava Max line from 'King's and Queen's' you wrongfully ignored. The definition of Real Friends vs Rock Star Friends and why it's okay to have both. The New Year's resolution to be more out for self is best applied when you lack this intention. The social media postings of your year end accomplishments are great when you lack this other intention. The social media postings of your year end accomplishments are even greater when you apply this '1% barometer.' The list of people you create before the year's end may predict success for the following year. The thought that maybe it's less about being more out for self and more about being more self-reliant. The theory that every time you go on a trip, you return a different person. The magic mirror Miss Jean used to thank the Romper Room audiences works just as well to thank RGF audiences.  The fact that Kelsey forgot the RGF signature sign-off message, after almost 40 shows, means maybe we have another 40 shows to do. The three things you MUST continue in the New Year: 1) Be a Kween 2) Stay Krisp 3) Keep scamming (while doing the work). Bye 2021, Betches! See you at Club Freeze. #Krisp #Kweenz

Why Thursdays you don't need make-up, just ask Jess Glynn. Why making a 'life annoyance list' is the most important New Year step toward a better you, just ask Maria. Why removing those items from your life is the second most important step, just listen to Maria. Why making a list of small, attainable goals is the third most important step, just ask Keven. Why making certain, specific life adjustments may help you find your ideal mate, just ask Kelsey. Why you may want to mesh your creative pursuits into your day job, just ask Pooja. Why it's still all about hard work and sacrifice to achieve success yet as much about detachment. Why the last two years may have set you back, yet also set you forward. Why Freeze remains the best underground nightclub in LA, why Komebacks are spelled with a 'K', why calling things 'Krisp' is huge with Eastern European teens. So Heal Squad, here's to our last BT show of '21 and to Krisp Kween Komebacks in '22. See you at Freeze. #Krisp #KomebackKweenz

A Very Covid Christmas Week continues as does Better Together's commitment to deliver new content daily. How recliner's are so underrated, just ask Keven. How roller coasters and life are similar and how managing the highs, lows , exhilarations and fears are essential, just ask Maria. How managing fear may be the key to life, just ask Sly Stallone. How embracing a new normal and dealing with what is, rather than what was, is crucial. How anxiety blocks creativity and your dreams and how scheduling your creative endeavors may be essential. How detachment from success may lead to more of it and why wasted talent may be the biggest faux pas of all. How 'goin' to the club on a Tuesday got the girl in the cut and she ain't choosey' may not make sense to you but does to Turkish DJ Burak Yeter.  And BTW, why does Tuesday get such a bad rap? Why shouldn't we Kweenz hit the club on Tuesday? THESE are the important questions. Stay #Krisp #HealSquad.
