  • A Police Officer’s Battle With Trauma, Brain Injury, Addiction, and his Journey to Recovery | Ep. 30

    A Police Officer’s Battle With Trauma, Brain Injury, Addiction, and his Journey to Recovery | Ep. 30
    Jan 22 2026
    Hal Hughes appeared to have everything in place. A wife, four children, a respected career as a police officer, and a reputation built on strength and service. Then a violent on-the-job assault changed the trajectory of his life, leaving him with a traumatic brain injury and setting off a gradual, unseen unraveling.

    In this deeply honest episode, Hal shares what followed. PTSD, chronic pain, identity loss, and an addiction to prescribed painkillers that slowly took control. He speaks openly about how close he came to losing his family, his career, and himself, and about the moment that finally forced him to confront the cost of survival without boundaries.

    Now sober for many years, Hal has rebuilt his life as a registered psychotherapist, speaker, and advocate for trauma-informed healing. This episode is for anyone navigating trauma, addiction, burnout, or the question of who they are after everything falls apart.

  • S3E09 | What Happens When Trauma, ADHD, and Menopause Collide with Jen Schmidt

    S3E09 | What Happens When Trauma, ADHD, and Menopause Collide with Jen Schmidt
    Jan 8 2026
    Joining Andy and Tim, our guest Jen shares how complex trauma shaped her identity long before she had words for it. Growing up with ADHD, emotional gaps, and a persistent sense of “badness,” she learned to survive by adapting to others, carrying emotions that weren’t hers, and losing connection to herself. Together with Tim Fletcher, the conversation explores pre-verbal trauma, shame, attachment patterns, marriage strain, nervous system healing, and why menopause can intensify trauma symptoms for women. This episode offers clarity, validation, and hope for anyone who feels like healing hasn’t worked or wonders why things suddenly got harder later in life.

  • S3E07 | Q&A with Tim Fletcher: Boundaries

    S3E07 | Q&A with Tim Fletcher: Boundaries
    Dec 11 2025
    In this episode, Tim and Andy dive into one of the most challenging parts of healing from complex trauma: boundaries. Together they explore why boundaries often feel confusing, scary, or “selfish,” and how unhealthy family systems shape the rules we grow up with. Tim explains the difference between internal and external boundaries, why willpower alone isn’t enough, how shame and fawning affect our ability to hold limits, and what loving, sustainable boundary-setting actually looks like in real relationships. If you’ve ever struggled to stand up for yourself, collapsed around other people’s emotions, or felt guilty for having needs, this conversation offers clarity, compassion, and practical tools for change.

    S3E04 | Find What Makes Your Heart Sing with Morag Clark
    Oct 30 2025
    After a traumatic childhood, Morag’s life spiraled into judgment, drinking, and searching for validation in all the wrong places. In this episode of Time with Tim, she shares her journey from trauma and addiction to freedom, spirituality, and self-compassion. Morag opens up about the roots of her pain, the moment everything began to change, and what it means to heal the “little girl inside.” Her story is a powerful reminder that healing is possible for anyone willing to face the truth—and that it’s never too late to find what makes your heart sing.
