Ben opens up about the challenges of transitioning from active duty, the hidden struggles of fatherhood and marriage, and how untreated PTSD quietly showed up in his life — until fellow Marines looked him in the eye and said, “Brother, you’ve got it.” Terrence shares his own raw “Suicide Season” — living in a master closet, drinking a gallon of rum a week, poor sleep, and losing himself — and how both men found real healing. Ben breaks down the groundbreaking Deep TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) treatment they’re pioneering at Neurobello in La Jolla: FDA-cleared, VA-covered for veterans with PTSD and depression, non-invasive 3-minute sessions, and life-changing results — dramatically improved sleep, serenity, focus, emotional regulation, and even helping with ADHD and TBI. He shares personal before-and-after moments, including becoming a calmer, more present father during his daughter’s meltdown. Plus: the legendary “coffee saved my promotion” story, why veterans lose their sense of purpose after service, how to actually fill “that hole,” and why this treatment is giving hope to veterans, first responders, and high-performers who’ve tried everything else. If you’re a veteran, spouse, or anyone battling depression, PTSD, burnout, or just feeling stuck — this episode is a must-listen. Real talk. Real healing. Real solutions.

In this raw and unfiltered episode of Therapy Was Full, comedian and veteran entrepreneur Billy Blaylock opens up about one of the hardest Ls in business — when your own partner steals money and ghosts you. Billy shares the brutal reality behind buying a photography franchise as a veteran, how his “Dream Team” business partner (his cousin) betrayed him at his lowest point, and what it really feels like to be left holding the bag while dealing with injuries, layoffs, multiple deaths in his circle, a breakup, and questioning “Why the fuck am I even here?” We dive deep into: The pain of bad business partnerships Learning to take massive Ls and keep swimming The moment he had to Photoshop his partner out of every photo Veteran grit vs. civilian “step on my head” mentality Why some people bounce when shit gets heavy Dopamine hits from new ideas and self-sabotage cycles What entrepreneurship really looks like when you’re building alone Billy drops hard-earned wisdom on failure, loyalty, communication in partnerships, and why he still chooses to “keep swimming” even when land feels far away. If you’ve ever been betrayed by a business partner, felt like quitting, or had to grind solo while everyone else walked away — this one hits different.

In this raw, no-filter episode of Therapy Was Full, hosts Dustin Hayes (Navy vet & Red White Badass Brew founder) and Terrence Davis (Marine vet turned realtor) sit down with Marine veteran Corey Gray for a deep dive into trauma most people never talk about.
We go there: childhood molestation, early sexual experiences, porn addiction roots, military sexual trauma echoes, Other Than Honorable (OTH) discharges, VA benefit battles, absent fathers ("Fuck Tony"), generational curses, fatherhood guilt, and rebuilding life post-service.
Corey shares his journey from Oklahoma trailer parks to the Marine Corps, surviving trauma, marrying a fellow veteran advocate (Chelsey Gray from Ep-9), and learning to break cycles for his own kids.
Expect explicit stories, heavy laughs through pain, glizzy glazing tangents, and real talk about why therapy "wasn't full" until now.

In this raw, unfiltered episode of Therapy Was Full, hosts Dustin Hayes (CEO of Red White & Badass Brew) and Terrence Davis dive deep into the veteran transition nightmare: from battle-hardened warriors to lost gardeners in civilian life. What happens when you lose your military purpose? Dustin and Terrence spill on medical retirements, TAPS program's epic fails ("It's garbage—box-check BS"), 60-job rejections, and the myth of "easy vet hires." Hear Terrence's wild story: quitting a 6-figure gig to avoid leaving his daughter, burning a "perfect" life of cash and chaos for real family purpose. They break down the internal war—craving business highs like combat rushes, embracing failure ("I'm not a failure, I failed today"), bad mentorship traps, and building teams that align with your morals (not deadbeats justifying bullshit). If you're a vet feeling purposeless, chasing entrepreneurship chaos, or rebuilding post-service—this ep hits hard. No victim vibes, just Marine-tough truths on prepping 18 months out, watering your own grass, and turning war skills into wins. Timestamps & highlights in comments.

In this no-holds-barred live therapy session, Dustin Hayes and Terrence Davis sit down with Marine veteran and Truth First Life Coach Nathan Sutton—and things get real FAST. What starts as Dustin unpacking his decision to cut off his abusive dad spirals into raw confessions: fantasies of revenge on 24-hour firewatch, suicidal thoughts fueled by justice-seeking rage, grieving the father you wanted while he's still alive, and the brutal cycle of generational trauma. Nathan drops bombshells with the "invisible weight" metaphor—bench-pressing 1000lbs of resentment, the garden hose analogy for holding back emotions (anger AND love), and why chasing justice keeps you imprisoned. The hosts confront their own buttons: betrayed trust in marriage, protecting your energy vs. scarcity mindset, and the terrifying freedom of finally letting go. From "I wanted to kill my dad" to a 73-year-old vet who ditched 47 years of meds after one conversation, this episode is unfiltered truth about forgiveness, inherent value, and rebuilding without the past controlling you. If you've ever carried invisible weight from your dad, your spouse, or your own choices—this one's for you. No victim mentality. Just Marine-tough honesty and the path to real freedom.

In this powerful episode of Therapy Was Full Podcast, co-hosts Terrence Davis (Marine Corps vet turned real estate pro) and Dustin Hayes (Navy vet & coffee shop owner) go deep with guest Jason Stewart — founder of Epic Fighting, real estate investor, exotic car hustler, and passionate veteran advocate. Jason opens up about losing his multimillion-dollar construction business (and discovering true friends in the aftermath), then rebuilding stronger with smart plays: exotic car flips for profit, "proximity is power" living in Coronado, buying the dream asset first (McLaren mindset), and scaling wealth to fuel massive impact — like helping veterans avoid suicide and escape dark places.

I joined to serve my country, but I ended up fighting a war within my own ranks.” In this incredibly raw and unfiltered interview, we sit down with Chelsey, a former U.S. Marine, who steps out of the shadows to share the harrowing reality of her service. While the military often speaks of brotherhood and honor, Chelsey experienced the devastating "dark side" of the uniform. Today, she breaks her silence on: • The betrayal of trust: Navigating sexual assault within the Corps. • The cycle of manipulation: How those in power took advantage of her dedication. • The psychological toll: Surviving the grooming and gaslighting that often follows military trauma. • The path to healing: Why she is finally choosing to speak her truth. This isn't just a story about the military; it’s a story about the resilience of the human spirit in the face of systemic betrayal.
