Tim, Founder and Host of the Focused on Forward Podcast and Co-host of the Funny Science Fiction Podcast, turned to podcasting as a way to help deal with his mental health struggles. As a child who was abandoned by his biological father, Tim entered his teen years angry and unable to feel true happiness even during good times. In 2019, after his daughter stayed 97 days in the hospital due to Guillain-Barre Syndrome, Tim was diagnosed with hospitalization PTSD and finally took the much-needed steps to begin his healing journey, including starting therapy – something he thought he would never do, but now realizes he should have done sooner. Today, his Focused on Forward Podcast @podcastFOF features people sharing their stories of overcoming huge obstacles in their lives. The power and inspiration of his podcast guests, who are fighting and struggling to conquer challenges every day, encourage him to continue on his own journey.
