Fan Mail Goes Here!!

In this lively episode of 'The Mental Funny Bone,' hosts Sarah and Christine introduce their podcast's mission to de-stigmatize mental health through humor, even as interruptions from Sarah's noisy dog, Macho, add a comedic touch. They revisit their podcast journey, discussing their early days, some family anecdotes involving a pet dog named Jigs, and navigating fan mail—or the lack thereof. The duo also explores mental health topics from Michael Gervais's book 'The First Rule of Mastery,' delving into concepts like the spotlight effect, FOPO (Fear of Other People’s Opinions), and ways to combat these psychological phenomena. They share personal stories to highlight these concepts, encourage open-mindedness, and stress the importance of asking questions instead of making assumptions about others' thoughts. The episode blends humor and introspection, making for an entertaining and enlightening listen.
