Hey, everybody, welcome to this episode of the virtual couch, and that is my very smooth way of saying, I forgot what number episode this is, but I think we're somewhere between 285 and 290, but I am glad you're here. I'm your host, Tony Overbay. I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist, a certified mindful, have a coach, and a writer, and a speaker, and a husband and a father of four, and all those things that I've gotten away from saying at the beginning of every episode because I just want to get to the content.

I can't lie. and a speaker and a husband and a father for and all those things that I've gotten away from saying at the beginning of every episode because I just want to get to the content.
