Hey friends my name is Mike Foster and this is fun therapy and this is a place

where we celebrate the imperfect and believe that our setbacks can become our

superpowers. And in a world that can often feel so unfair and confusing at times, I want this to be a little place in the world that feels like

a lighthouse of hope for you. I want you to feel and sense the beauty of what you're becoming.

And when we can listen together to stories that are still figuring out their ending,

when we hear words that sound like our words, when we hear about feelings

that feel like our feelings, we see how we are all deeply connected, connected to one another.

My name is Mike Foster and this is fun therapy. Well I read the other day that one of the deepest needs of a human being is to be appreciated.

And I think that's so true.

To be seen and to be appreciated.

And I want you to know right now how much I appreciate you that I see you and I might not know your name

But I'm so with you and for you and cheering you on. I believe in you. And my life and my work is about helping people become strong and emotionally fit and everything I do is about us being less afraid of our stories and how we can live

fierce and free. You know sometimes I still feel like that quiet skinny nerdy junior high kid without a lot of friends.

And I still can get pretty judge you about myself and sometimes I you know I listen to this

podcast and I go like why did I say that or maybe I should have said this or I listened to my voice and I think,

that sounds kind of wimpy.

I sound like Kermit the frog.

And yeah.

But you know what, you guys are such an amazing source of belief for me, your kind words and your encouragement and you sharing about fun therapy and you sharing your stories and you sharing about how this is impacting your life. It's absolutely amazing.

And so I love how you pour into me and I love how this podcast can pour into you.

And that's an extraordinary thing, don't you think?

So I thought I'd read a couple reviews that you guys have left on iTunes. I always appreciate your reviews.
