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.

    Broken Femur, Broken System: A Vet's Fight to Matter Again | Therapy Was Full Ep24

    "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. 00:00 Cold Open: "God Knocks Twice" 00:47 Welcome Back / Dustin's Return 01:24 Meet Chris Lorenz 01:59 11 Years Navy, Guam, and Loving the Culture 03:45 The Injury: Stepping Off the Platform 09:09 Seven Surgeries and Medical Retirement 10:33 Becoming "A Number" 13:44 Fighting the Med Board Decision 14:48 Dustin's Own Near-Suicide Story 15:55 The TAPS Class From Hell 18:10 Quitting the First Civilian Job in 8 Days 21:15 Veteran-Owned ≠ Veteran-Safe 23:20 How GFI/AFD Started 29:38 What Vets Actually Have No Education On: Money 31:04 The "Broke Five" Bit 38:14 The $46K TSP Story (26 Years of Service) 41:12 Retraining the Entrepreneurial Brain 45:09 What AFD Actually Does 52:33 Is There a Shortcut to Wealth? 1:00:21 "We Count Families Helped, Not Dollars" 1:02:31 Where to Find AFD / GFI 1:09:14 Final Message: Don't Harbor the Information
