Terrence Davis and Dustin Hayes get brutally honest about the chaos they grew up in — from abusive homes to generational trauma, fractured fatherhood, and surviving pain with silence.
Terrence opens up about being raised by a drug-addicted mother, a physically abusive grandmother, and a dad who showed up late — and empty-handed. Dustin shares how his father broke him physically and emotionally, and how that shaped his approach to relationships, leadership, and business.
From surviving addiction to navigating broken family dynamics and building businesses while battling inner chaos, this episode is a raw, layered journey through what it takes to break generational curses.
Trigger warning: abuse, addiction, generational trauma, and dark humor.
Key Themes:
The “Warrior in the Garden” paradox
Why chaos feels comfortable (even when it’s killing you)
Redefining leadership after trauma
The price of loyalty in toxic relationships
Building boundaries without building walls
In the very first episode of Therapy Was Full, co-hosts Dustin Hayes (Navy veteran & coffee shop owner) and Terrence Davis (Marine Corps veteran & real estate pro) kick off with real talk about the stories that shaped them — and the ones they never told anyone. From father wounds and broken systems to how they each learned to lead, parent, and heal without a map… this is the unfiltered start of something different.
From the publisher's feed
Hosted by Dustin Hayes, a Navy veteran and coffee shop owner, and Terrence Davis, a Marine Corps vet turned real estate professional, Therapy Was Full is where veterans, survivors, and seekers get real about the battles no one sees.
This isn’t your typical vet podcast — no victim mindsets, no sugarcoating. Just raw stories about fatherhood, trauma, shame, healing, hustle, self improvement and the messy, beautiful process of rebuilding yourself from the inside out.
Every week, Dustin and Terrence sit down to unpack the weight of the past, the realities of being men in a broken system, and what it takes to move forward when no one handed you the manual.
