Do not confuse this with treatment or mental health advice or direction.

Nothing on this podcast is made to supplement or supersede the relationship and direction of your mental health caretakers.

Although David Kozlowski is a licensed marriage and family therapist,

he is not functioning as a certified mental health professional in this environment,

but same applies to any professionals who may appear on the Light the Fight podcast.

Hey, hey, hey, I'm going to fight up here. David, I'm actually coming to you remotely from the country of Carlsbad, California.

Some people know it as San Diego, California. But it's my hometown. I decided through,

actually didn't take me a long time to make this decision, but after the quarantine, after everything's been going on and a lot of people going through hard times,

I thought it would be good to double down a little self-care for myself.

So I decided to come out to California and my family, got a motor home, and we've been

quarantining on the beach, and it has been amazing so I

don't mean to rub it into all you people who aren't doing that because I doubt very many people are

I just was fortunate enough to have a best friend that was a cross street from beach and we had

the parking driveway and everything just turned out just perfect overnight so having said that

I know that that can sound like gloating, but I hope,

I was just hoping to just share it, not gloating, just sharing. So I'm feeling a lot better,

feeling a lot better. I don't know how many of you out there listening to the podcast and

been going through, you know, your own challenges throughout the quarantine time.

I know everybody's going through something, but obviously everyone's to different degrees.

So you've been going through hard times and hearing my good time didn't make you feel good.

I sincerely apologize.

That was not my intention.
