TJ joins Deana to give an update! He lost his jobs months ago, but now has a new one doing exactly what he loves, helping others with disabilities. He also continues his podcast, “My Blurred Opinion” which is the perfect name since TJ is legally blind from a young age due to Steven Johnson Syndrome.
Of course, when TJ and I get together we can talk for days about mental health, so there is also a bit of that!

About the Guest:
Timothy West is a Stevens Johnson survivor. He is legally blind, and struggles with mental health and chronic pain. TJ has dealt with all different types of abuse: including sexual, mental, and physical. He decided to create the podcast, My Blurred Opinion, because he wanted to turn his pain into something positive. Timothy wanted to help those people out there who are like him. He says he feels alone, he has a story, but no one is listening, and he wanted to give a safe space for those who feel they are not able to be themselves.
