Welcome into the Young Dad Pod—whether you're running on fumes from night feeds, chasing toddlers, or trying to hold it together at work and home—thanks for being here and tuning in.
Today’s guest is Tim Thomas, a former Special Forces operator turned wellness coach, mental health advocate, and founder of Breathwork in Bed. Tim’s journey from combat zones to calming breathwork has helped transform the lives of veterans, parents, and everyday people by showing them the power of rest, resilience, and connection. He’s raised over $1M for mental health research, saved lives, and now he’s here to help us sleep better, stress less, and step into our power as men and dads.
