Shawn is a licensed behavioral health counselor and Adam is a graduate student in behavioral health counseling. They’ve known each other for over 25 years and talk every week about the trials and tribulations of life. &amp;nbsp; Alright, picture this: You're minding your own business, living your life, when suddenly, out of nowhere, life decides to throw a curveball at you. It's like, &quot;Hey, here's a little surprise for ya!&quot; And it's never a good surprise, right? It's always something ridiculous that makes you go, &quot;Really? This is what we're doing now?&quot; So, what do you do? You gotta deal with it, but here's the kicker—you deal with it like Bill Burr would. First, you gotta face it head-on, with that classic Burr skepticism. You look at the situation, shake your head, and say, &quot;Oh, fantastic. What's next? Aliens landing in my backyard asking for directions to the nearest Starbucks?&quot; Then, you gotta laugh at it. Not just a little chuckle, but that full-on, Bill Burr-style, sarcastic laugh that says, &quot;I can't believe this is my life right now.&quot; It's all about finding the humor in the absurdity of it all. Because, let's face it, sometimes life's just a poorly written sitcom, and you're the main character dealing with the world's most absurd plot twists. And finally, talk about it. Rant to your friends, your family, or even to a bunch of strangers at a stand-up show if that's your thing. Turn your misfortune into a hilarious story. Because when you think about it, the best way to deal with life's unexpected punches is to punch back with a joke. And who knows? Maybe you'll end up with a bit that's so good, it'll have people rolling in the aisles, forgetting all about their own crazy life plot twists. &amp;nbsp; Some resources that may be useful: How to recover from a bad day &amp;nbsp; Contact us at: getmanmadepodcast@gmail.com Forging Forward Podcast http://centered1.libsyn.com/website <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/29959768/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/item/29959768
