Hello everyone. My name is Jobe Kidney and welcome to the Happy Times Podcast.

This is a place where you can talk about what or listen, mainly listen to whatever I'm saying and feel comfortable.

I hope this is a space where you can you can talk, you can bring this to other friends,

where you can bring this to your parents. If you feel unsafe, then please let me know or join the Facebook group My OK Place, and we can talk about it.

But today is a special episode. You guys know that I never really have guests on here,

and the reason why is because I don't really I don't really care for

like interviewing people because it's interesting but I'd rather help people more I'd rather talk

about the deep stuff. I think those conversations really

help people more than just learning about others. I think learning about why people think

the way they think and do what they do and what they believe in is much more

impactful.

And there's this, there's a Tiktalker.

Well, he's more than just Tiktalker, but you'll get the gnome.

His name is Mathias James Barker, and's a Tik-Tock that I found recently and his videos are just absolutely amazing and I wanted to bring him on and we're going to talk a little bit about a backstory because he is a licensed therapist and we're also going to talk about you know why he became one where he came from where he lives everything and And then we're gonna dive into some questions,

like heartbreak, like overthinking, self-criticism,

and it's gonna be interesting because there's my point of view,

someone is unlicensed, someone who just learns from their own experiences,

as well as he does, but he is licensed.

He does know the proper way to answer certain things, so it's gonna be truly, truly amazing.

So I hope you guys enjoy.

And if you do, please let me know, like DAMI or something,

saying, hey, I listen to the podcast.
