Summary

Happy Friday, Regular Guys and Gals! Hey Regular Guys and Gals, we did it again. We made it through another week! How trying to help can actually sabotage healing, and why presence, not fixing, is the real gift. How “helping energy” can be rooted in ego and disempower those we care about. When to lean in, when to back off, and how to spot the difference. How seeing people (really seeing them) changes everything, whether it’s a friend in crisis or a waitress with perfect Diet Coke timing. How your victim story gets you attention....and entitlement and not in a good way. How nostalgia (and a few good carney memories) can spark gratitude and grit. How “The Magic” works when you work it. And why gratitude isn’t just a tool — it’s a way to rewire everything. RGF Bonus: The dream of “Victim Con” is born, Alice Cooper’s unlikely spiritual side, Starbucks union organizing (courtesy of Evan), and what really happens when Kev almost entered the cube farm to be the temp from hell. Bye Betches.
