EP.16 "It's The 'Self Care' For Me"
What would you say if asked, "How do you take care of yourself?" Do the words "self care" mean anything to you? In this episode, The Potnas welcome a potna and friend of the show, TJ Strayhorn, to discuss just that. Ranging from COVID consciousness and mindfulness exercises, to fitness and nutrition regiments, the fellas dive in to explore what self care means to them and discuss how they prioritize their health. *Spoiler Alert* This unsurprisingly leads to D-No and JT betting on who would win in a foot-race... and yes... they're serious! Tune in to hear more of what you've grown to love- great conversation and a good time!

This time, however, we welcome two of our "single" potnas, Ashley and Cameron to give their perspective on the current market and take on some of the burning questions that riddle the minds of those currently in and out of the dating scene. Following convention, we start the discussion by level-setting on what "dating" means to them because... let's face it- everyone seems to have their own interpretation these days. Followed up by rich dialogue on all the variables that seem to complicate today's romantic journey, we navigate a number of topics- ranging from dating expectations and "red flags" to what they look for in their future significant others. Bring your pens and popcorn people... You cannot miss this discussion, serving up dialogue- equal parts interesting and entertaining!
