Hey friends this is fun therapy and I'm Mike Foster and together on this

podcast we dive into the messy not-so parts of our stories and we do it with a smile.

We're going to talk about the things that sit below the surface, the feelings, the fears, the dreams, the desires, because it is in the

unseen and often unshared parts of our stories that are just so valuable and so important.

So I want to invite you to slow down and take a breath and to connect with your heart

to find the things right now that need more love

in your life.

So you have nothing to hide, only things waiting to be healed. And if you wrap every wound and every misstep, every setback, and every hurt. If you wrap it all up in love and

put a bow of forgiveness on top, you get the greatest gift of all. It is the gift of being you.

My name is Mike Foster, and this is fun therapy. Well, friends, I'm so glad you're here. We have a great episode for you. This is kind of a precursor to the launch of season 3 of Fun Therapy.

We're doing a special Christmas episode and I'm really excited about what we're going to be talking about and really I want to give you some tips and tools to

Survive the holidays because the holidays are hard

They're difficult they're complicated and there's a lot of reasons why they're difficult and complicated

But I want to give you a plan

Kind of a strategy that you can use for your family and for your own self-care and a plan for how to communicate at the table or in as you're sitting around playing

games or watching movies or whatever you do during the holidays.

I want to get you ready and equipped

to have a really great, great successful time

this Christmas season. I'm also excited that my friend Ryan O'Neill

from Sleeping at Last, you know Ryan he's been on the podcast a few times now.

Well, he's actually on every single podcast

because he writes and creates all the music
