Hey friends this is fun therapy and my name is Mike Foster and together we're going to dive into the messy and the brutal but oh so beautiful parts of our not so perfect stories.

And we're gonna do it with a smile.

You see, we can find joy in the suffering. We can find hope in our brokenness.

Because you and I can look back and see through our years how strong we have become, how we have gained wisdom and clarity that in our darkest

moments we began to shed the fake, the inauthentic, the version of ourselves we thought everyone wanted us to be.

And when we broke, we broke open to a new understanding of ourselves and a new understanding of love.

My name is Mike Foster, and this is Fun Therapy. Well, every time I sit here in front of this microphone, I try to picture your face and I try to picture who you are.

And the wonderful thing about this is that I've gotten to meet some of you and if connected through

Instagram and all the different ways. And as I sit here I just try to imagine what

you are experiencing in your week and in your day and maybe some of the struggles and challenges that you're facing.

I try to make this time and this community here just a place where we can talk about whatever it is that we're going through,

whatever it is that may feel heavy, that we can talk about the sadness and the joy.

We can talk about the struggle,

but also the incredible things that you and I

are overcoming together. you and I know sometimes when we are creating things and we're doing our life.

Maybe you're raising things and we're doing our life.

Maybe you're raising kids right now, maybe you're and doing our life.

Maybe you're raising kids right now,

maybe you're doing something really mundane

like the dishes, or you're doing something really boring.

You're not satisfied at your job and you're just like kind of gutting out your day and you're listening to this podcast.

Maybe you're you know driving in your car and just there's a sense of the mundane sitting in to your spirit.
