Tim Lewis had been married to his wife Rachel for just a few years when she suffered a life-changing stroke. And as her health deteriorated, Tim began to lead a double life - an IT guy in financial services by day and caring for his wife by night. When his wife sadly passed away, Tim found solace in his work at first - but soon found himself compelled to find a more fulfilling career. But it still took more than a year to find the courage to leave. In this episode of the Courageous podcast, Tim shares his experience of losing his wife, early in their marriage. And how he found the courage to find a new and more fulfilling career as an author and podcaster.Key Moments00:02:13 The moment when Tim’s life changed forever00:09:50 Grief, trauma, and their influence on men’s mental health00:20:59 Tim on his bold move to change his career path00:29:59 The book that made Tim consider a writing career00:36:30 Being cornered - and how it sharpens entreprenurial skills00:44:10 Networking advice: What Tim learnt from his experiences2025 Courageous Business Planner Bundle - Apply PODCAST10 at checkout and save 10%.Janet Murray’s website LinkedIn Facebook Instagram Tim Lewis’s websiteTim Lewis’s LinkedInBook Chat LiveTim Lewis’s books: Timeshock: I Want My Life BackSocial Media Networking: How to Use Social Media to Get the Job You Want, Find Love, Get Business Success and Boost Your Travel
