0:00.0	Hey, everybody. Welcome to episode 411 of The Virtual Couch. I'm your host, Tony Overbay. I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist. And today I present to you one of the most enjoyable things that I have done over the course of the past couple of years.
0:22.5	And I want to just provide a tiny bit of backstory on what you're about to listen to,
0:27.2	as well as where it has gone from this episode that you're going to hear.
0:31.6	So I have a couple of podcasts with my daughters, the mind, the mirror, me with my daughter, Mackey.
0:35.9	Please go listen. I'll put a link in the show
0:37.5	notes to the podcast and follow and subscribe. She is wise beyond her years and it's an absolute
0:43.7	joy working with her. And then I also started a podcast called Murder on the Couch, where
0:48.6	true crime meets therapy with my daughter, Sydney. And it got a lot of hype before its release.
0:54.7	I know it was featured in Apple's upcoming trailers, and I talked about it a lot, and it,
0:59.5	it really hit the ground running.

1:18.3	process of differentiation or learning what is a me issue and what is a them issue. And I had said to
1:25.8	them, these are your podcasts. I'm here to co-host and help. And then I got to
1:30.0	learn that I was a little more of a podcast micromanager than I ever knew than I ever could
1:35.9	have anticipated. Meaning that once I said, hey, these podcasts are yours, boy, I so noticed me
1:42.0	wanting to push my, I don't know, like podcasting values of consistency and we got to get these things out weekly and et cetera and et cetera.
1:49.9	But let's just take murder on the couch.
1:51.8	So Sydney put a lot of work into the episodes that we have done.
1:55.5	And she learned that as much as she loves the genre, it really wasn't something that she necessarily wanted to
