If you have experienced similar situations, make sure you are in a safe headspace before tuning in.„We can’t find safety in sameness – but we can build belonging in difference.“Timothy Tasch grew up moving more than 35 times as a “military brat” – always the new kid, always saying goodbye. Behind closed doors, he faced rejection, manipulation, and violence from a father who had no space for his authentic self.At 16, Timothy left Canada with a suitcase to start a new life in Germany.What followed was a journey of resilience, allyship, and learning to write his own story.This conversation is raw, vulnerable, and inspiring. It is about the courage to break free, the power of allies, and the reminder that we are not built to do this alone.Today, Timothy is a trainer, coach, and speaker on diversity, allyship, new work, and communication.
