gayrelationships

Ken reviews the most common complaints and challenges from single gay male clients in dating, and how to adaptively cope with each of them. 

Hello and welcome to this episode of the Coffee with Keith podcast.  In this episode, I am going to share with you two warnings (although one is a bonus) when it comes to attracting that next romantic relationship.  It has to do with you social media posts and your use of it when processing your trauma.  Oh my goodness, have I see this done so many time.  What's more, it will often impact your ability to attract that next wonderful person into your life.  And even though I get it...I don't believe it is wise. 

So, let me share a little coaching advice today from the old BI GUY.  You can take it to heart or your can toss it out the window.  That is up to you.  But, I believe it's worth the conversation. 

So, my dear friend, grab that cup of coffee, have a seat at my table, and let's chat on this episode of Coffee with Keith.

COVID hit me

Pride month and what it all means

Sometimes we have to edit out what we say and dub over; I prefer the rough edits

I tried as hard as I could to make some sense in this episode but my sick brain was having trouble, so apologies. This is real life so I hope you still enjoy. I'm already feeling better as I upload this so next week should be right as rain. 

Thanks to my super rad co-host, AJ, for helping to bear the load on this one. 

If you didn't like this episode because I was sick, find another one and try again :)

alien life forms?

best friends and girlfriends

I swear I'm not on my phone

Appreciate you taking time to listen to this episode. This week we decided to just chat (which is what we do most weeks) but this one was plan-free. Sometimes we just need to shoot the shit and you get to listen to it, if you so choose.
