Heartbreak & Hot Pot: a memoir

About Heartbreak & Hot Pot: a memoir

Heartbreak & Hot Pot: a memoir is about my tumultuous journey through the last few years of my life. Why will you enjoy this tale? I am sharing a very vulnerable, heart-wrenching, sometimes funny story about how life can go drastically wrong. BUT, with all the bad things that happened I was able to lose unwanted pounds through an unusual dietary change featuring a dish I ’discovered’ while in China. It’s a side benefit of the heartbreak. I hope you enjoy getting a very up-close look into the mind of someone working through challenges and trying to improve every day. This is adapted from a book I wrote. There will be 20 episodes. I will publish an episode or two every week. Diving into this tale you’ll learn about loss of a loved one, loss of love, loss of a business, a restraining order (!) and how I created a new brand of hair salons, as well as many side journeys into my life. I hope you enjoy. If you have any questions or have feedback please email me at kevin@hotpotforlife.com

   Episode Twenty: My Prayer Has Always Been Love / Hell If I Know What To Do / Blah Blah Blah

   Hello!  It's time for the last episode, Episode Twenty.  How fitting that it is also the last episode alphabetically. Our final episode takes a look at (maybe) leaving this world, the work of Sufjan Stevens, and then gives us two epilogues. We find out about another Hot Pot journey, dreams of a new love, exploring feelings for 'dumpy' Lori, and then a look at what the Hell I Should Do. Then we wrap things up - until next time.  Blah blah blah. I'm signing off now.  I really hope you found something of value - listening all the way to the end.  I tried my best to convey the emotion, the terror, the joy and facing the unknown in this journey of Heartbreak.  I hope you are at peace or are at least close to finding peace in your life.  I love you.  Bye for now!

   Episode Nineteen: Beauty and Terror

   Hi!  I hope you're getting something out of all these recordings.  I know I did.  It's pretty cathartic to spend time recounting all of these events. Episode Nineteen spends some time dwelling on time spent in my hair salons, then explores finding a new marketing position at the age of 57. We touch on Alligators, Nietzsche and living on your own (and how that aids or takes away from personal evolution). I hope you enjoy!  Take care of yourself and your loved ones.

   Episode Eighteen: Leaving Minnesota

   Episode Eighteen.  We're getting close to the end of this Audio Book.  It has twenty chapters. I hope you're enjoying, and are having a wonderful day! In this episode we'll finish up with Luke the Thief, then explore such topics as great friends, Dan and the talent show, and preparing to leave Minnesota (and deciding where to go for the next part of my life).  I hope you enjoy!
