Therapy was Full Podcast

This is the conversation that happened before the cameras officially started rolling. In this behind-the-scenes moment from Therapy Was Full, Guy McDermott — VFW commander and founder/co-founder of Warrior House — opens up about a spiritual awakening that reframed how he saw his own role in his marriage and career struggles. He talks candidly about the moment he stopped seeing himself as a victim and started owning the ways his own choices — taking off his wedding ring, spiraling under stress, missing the expectations he'd set for himself — shaped the outcomes he was living with. Unscripted, unpolished, and honest in a way that only happens when the "interview" hasn't technically started yet.

www.iconpodcastnet.com Yes, the Marine Corps has a band — and Jedidiah was in it. This episode covers what most people never learn about military music programs, the grind of recruiting duty, and how a divorce derailed 13 years of active duty service and forced a total career reset. Dustin Hayes and Terrence Davis talk with Jedidiah about building Green Hat Entertainment to support local musicians, his work with CASA advocating for foster kids, and why music keeps showing up as the thing that holds people together — from a junior high talent show to a Marine Corps band concert that changed how he saw the world. #marineband #veteran #unsubscribepodcast #comedy #veteranspodcast

"Why are we paying for the dates in the first place?" That question kicks off an hour-plus roundtable with Dustin Hayes, Terrence Davis, Trevor Ahing, and Chris Lorenz on dating standards, covert contracts, and what chivalry actually means today. Trevor breaks down a date gone sideways — a canceled plan, an uninvited friend at dinner, and a text that changed everything — while the group debates financial contribution, communication, and whether the value of men has actually changed or just the standards around them. No scripts, no filters, just four guys talking honestly about a topic everyone has an opinion on.  @treverahing  00:00 Cold Open: "Why Are We Paying for the Dates?" 01:20 Intro & Meet the Panel 02:45 Setting Up the Topic: Dating in This Age 06:00 Trevor's Story: The Girl, the Alignment, the Green Flags 09:00 Date One & Two: Off to a Great Start 11:00 The Energy Flip: "I Love the Idea of a Man Like You" 14:00 The Splatter Paint Date That Became a Pedicure 19:00 Men, Get Your Toes Done: A Hill Worth Dying On 22:00 She Invites a Friend to Dinner Without Asking 26:00 Covert Contracts Explained 30:00 Power Is in the Question: Planning vs. Controlling 36:00 Who Should Pay?

I called my wife and said, I'm not going." Days before the move, Trevor Ahing backed out of relocating to Sacramento — then spent six months in an RV with no running water proving to his wife, and himself, that staying was the right call. Dustin Hayes and Terrence Davis get into real estate hustle, the discipline it took to make 300 dials a day, and how that grind became Marwak — a financial literacy movement built specifically for Marines. This episode covers entrepreneurship, sacrifice, marriage under pressure, and what it actually means to "come home" after service.

"It's okay to feel differently about this holiday." Dustin Hayes and Terrence Davis open Season 2 of Therapy Was Full with a special 4th of July episode reflecting on what Independence Day really feels like for veterans. They cover America's 250-year history, the freedom to move, choose, and build a life most countries never allow, and react to a viral video from creator Ashani M. Fuku claiming white Americans should support Black creators to prove they aren't racist. The hosts push back hard, unpacking gaslighting, tokenism, and what real support actually looks like. A raw, honest conversation for every veteran and warrior grinding it out.

"The minute you step out the culture, you become a number." Chris Lorenz, Navy veteran and co-founder of Armed Forces Division (AFD) and Global Financial Impact (GFI), knows that feeling better than most — one bad step in Guam cost him his knee, his 11-year Navy career, and nearly his sense of purpose. This episode covers military medical retirement, the TAPS class that handed him a stack of papers and said "don't come back," veteran divorce, veteran financial literacy, and how he turned all of it into a veteran nonprofit built on one rule: never take from the people you're supposed to serve. Expect hard truths about military finance, veteran homelessness, TSP mistakes, veteran-owned business red flags, VA disability claims, and why "God knocks twice" became his motto. A must-watch for any active duty service member or veteran navigating military transition, veteran entrepreneurship, or veteran mental health.
