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.
