Do you have addiction, mental illness, or just a crazy family dynamic that makes you want scream? Have you ever thought about using health and fitness as a tool to overcome these obstacles?

If so, you're in good company. Murphy's Laws Podcast is hosted by a brother and sister duo that know how you feel. Jimmy "The GILF" and "FUPA Faith" share their stories of addiction, recovery, and how they took control of their lives using health and fitness.

Jimmy "The GILF" was an aspiring ice hockey player that found his value in life by how well he played. Hockey was the distraction he needed to cope with life at home. At age 15, he quit hockey and 48 hours later was using meth and ultimately wound up homeless at age 16.

FUPA Faith started drinking at the age of 12. By the age of 15, she moved away with a person she plainly names "a pedophile." She grew in her disease and disfunction well into her 30's before began to make an attempt at sobriety. Like most things that are hard, she didn't get it right the first time.

Both hosts have used health and fitness to overcome the obstacles that had them "down for the count." The stories told here on this podcast are meant to bring a human element to very difficult and personal topics. They are meant to show the listener that it is possible to fall really hard and to come back. They are meant to encourage you to take control of parts of your life that you may have lost a long time ago.

We hope you find hope, encouragement, and laughter here.

Thank you for listening.
