Hey friends this is fun therapy and my name is Mike Foster and together we're going to dive into the messy and brutal but beautiful parts of our not so perfect stories and we're going to do it with a smile. Fred Rogers, who is one of my heroes,

and the host of the amazing Mr. Rogers neighborhood once said,

knowing that we can be loved exactly as we are gives us all the best opportunity for growing into the healthiest of people.

I think that's so true, don't you? So more than anything, right now, right in this very moment

in every single possible way imaginable, I want you to know you are loved always and loved

exactly as you are. My name is Mike Foster and this is fun therapy. I'm looking forward to talking about sleep today and hopefully helping you have better sleep and some tips and tricks and some things that will help you rest well when you go to bed to help you become a friend of your pillow again.

But before we get there and before we talk about that, I have some really exciting and important news and announcement

I want to make.

And I want you guys as the Fun Therapy family to be the first to know.

And it's basically this. I am going to be doing a brand spanking new event

called Strongest. It's gonna be May 16th and 17th in San Diego. It's a Thursday and Friday and it's going to be a small gathering because I like small gatherings and I because I like to learn people's names. I like us to interact. I like because I like to learn people's names I like us to interact I like

conversations and so we're gonna keep it small and I'm gonna limit it to about

40 people or so and I'm calling this really my first official fun therapy event.

I've been dreaming about this for a while about how do we get together and

how can we learn together and grow together.

It's going to be a workshop gathering on living your strongest life

and creating strength through surprising ways through vulnerability and empathy and

living wholeheartedly and I'm going to kind of talk about three different core topics throughout the two days.

I'm going to talk about how to have the strongest heart and that's really about our emotions

and how to process our emotions and live healthy lives with our emotions.

And I'm also going to be talking about how to have a strong voice and the strongest voice where your passions and your dreams and you really

get clear around that and then have the courage to execute those dreams and to live out those dreams and those desires of your heart.
