Welcome to another episode of Listen, Learn, and Love, hosted by Richard Osler.

My guest on today's podcast is my friend, my long-term friend. We've been friends for several years, Andy Proctor. Welcome to the podcast, Andy.

Thanks so much Richard for having me. We're going to talk about Andy's story about his life

goal to help people that feel like they are alone not to feel that way and know what to do

when you do feel that way. Will you restate that goal, maybe Andy, in your own words

for our listeners? Absolutely. I think a lot of people who are, well, a lot of people in general,

but a lot of people specifically who are going through some sort of faith crisis or transition

often just feel so lonely.

I know I did.

Yeah, I want to help people to just know that they are not alone

and share a little bit of my story to maybe help people to know that they,

first of all, aren't the only ones, and also maybe some tools to help them.

So if you are feeling alone, if you're going through a faith crisis or faith transition within our church,

if you want to help others that are going through things like that, Andy has great insights for you.

Andy, will you introduce sort of your education and professional background to our listeners?

Absolutely.

So I have been studying kind of informally positive psychology for the last maybe six years.

I mean, I studied psychology in my undergrad as well, social psychology, which has been even longer.

But I am certified positive psychology practitioner, also a professional life coach, and TEDx speaker coach too.

And I just love helping people to find their purpose and to really share it out there with the world and to live their personal mission.

I believe everybody has a life mission.

And I think it brings a lot of happiness to find that.
