Strap in for a raw and revealing episode as I sit alongside Tim, a battle-hardened ex-Marine and MARSOC operator. Together, we peel back the layers of transitioning from a life of discipline and service to the civilian world, a journey riddled with challenges. Tim's personal narrative sheds light on the identity crises that can follow military discharge.
We navigate the turbulent waters of mental health, discussing the critical need for transparency with struggles like PTSD and TBI. Tim opens up about his battles and the profound impact that alternative therapies, such as DMT, had on his life.
