0:00.0	Hey friends this is fun therapy and my name is Mike Foster and together we're going to dive into the messy and imperfect and brutal but beautiful parts of our lives and our stories and we do it all with a smile and with hope.
0:30.4	I love what Fred Rogers, otherwise known as Mr. Rogers, once said.
0:35.0	He said this, when we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming and less
0:40.9	upsetting and less
0:47.0	that's what he did on his television show. He reminded us that we are not alone.
0:50.0	He reminded us that no matter how tough we may act, that really all we want is to be known and to be loved.

2:16.2	bow on top and that's really true that there is a lot of messiness in life and not everything
2:21.5	comes with a nice bow on top but I love that I love that
2:26.6	thought and also Lexi Lou 34 she left this this review she said it's like soup for my soul and she says there's there's
2:35.6	just something so comforting in hearing that you're not the only one who's
