Hey everybody, before we start the show, I want to make a couple disclaimers.

This show does cover a wide variety of topics related to mental health and life in general,

and some of those could be sensitive for you.

I want to simultaneously encourage you to be brave in consuming difficult content, but also respect and recognize your limitations.

it's going to be really cool not going to tell you exactly what that is but you'll

need to tune in next week and it should be something that you enjoy I think and

then we'll be breaking into the triple digit episodes which is just crazy.

Can't believe I've been doing this for that long already.

And of course I'll give you guys all of the praise in the world next episode for sticking with me
