Summary

Hey Regular Guys and Gals, we made it through another week! How funny, capable, overworked people slowly disappear inside loyalty, guilt, people-pleasing, and being “the strong one.” Why being needed is not the same as being loved. How guilt can become a cage, over-functioning can make you invisible, and people-pleasing is often just anxiety wearing a Hallmark sweater. How some people don’t die from drama… they die from swallowing it. Why boundaries aren’t cruel, why you don’t have to earn rest or tenderness, and how keeping the peace can quietly become self-abandonment with good manners. How a smaller chapter does not mean a smaller life. And why the loneliest people are often the ones smiling, serving, joking, producing, and holding everything together while nobody notices their heart. “You can be kind without becoming furniture.” “Stop bringing your open wound to a closed door.” And why being the one who handles everything is a terrible way to audition for love. RGF Bonus….how Florence Henderson would not let Kev disappear and lessons on recycling for millennials and Gen Z. Bye Betches!

0:00.0	Summer's coming, and let me ask you this. What's the one trip you keep saying you want to take but haven't booked yet?
0:05.7	If cost is the reason, here's an idea. While you're away, you could be listing your space on Airbnb.
0:11.6	I've seen friends do it. I've seen people I've met out here in El Salvador do it, turning an empty home into extra income and using that money to support the very trips they've been dreaming about, like a
0:20.9	swap. And now with Airbnb's co-host network, hosting is easier than ever. You can hire a vetted
0:25.9	local co-host to handle all the behind-the-scenes details, like guest communication and on-site
0:30.8	support, so hosting stays completely stress-free. So find a co-host at Airbnb.com slash host.
0:37.3	Heal Squad, you probably heard me talking about
0:38.9	planning a summer trip from my family to the Grand Canyon. And let me tell you, with a big family, I have to be very intentional when I'm looking on Airbnb to find the right set up. Because there's so many of us, I already know I want everyone in the same area, but still have their own space. And Honestly, that's exactly why a home on Airbnb worked so well for big group trips.
0:56.5	Instead of cramming in a hotel rooms, you're going to be... area but still have their own space. And honestly, that's exactly why a home on Airbnb worked so well
0:55.0	for big group trips. Instead of cramming in a hotel rooms, you can book multiple homes close together.
1:00.6	Everyone has room to breathe and you still have spots where everyone can come together.
1:05.0	I love finding a home with a big kitchen for meals because we all get to be in one place cooking
1:09.3	and catching up. So good for the soul.
1:11.4	Here's something else to think about. While you're away, your own place could be doing something
1:15.1	for you, too, instead of sitting empty. You can list your space on Airbnb and earn some extra cash,
1:20.0	maybe even to help fund your next trip. And if hosting ever seemed overwhelming, now it's
1:24.8	easier than ever with Airbnb's co-host network. You can hire
1:28.2	a vetic local co-host to manage reservations, guest communication, provide on-site support.
1:33.6	So hosting stays stress-free and manageable. So if you've ever thought about hosting but need a little
1:37.9	help, find a co-host at Airbnb.com slash host.
1:44.3	I'm on a journey to heal and get better in all areas of life, and I want to do it with you.
