Join TJ and I as we delve into his personal stories and how they have all led him to the place he is now! We discuss his life journey of coming out of the closet to his creativity to his relationship with his mind, body and soul.
Here's a message from TJ:
My name is Thomas Johnson but I also go by TJ and Teej, depending on what stage of my life you've met me. I'm 30 years old and from Trenton, NJ but I also consider myself a Californian and now a New Yorker. I graduated from Pepperdine University with a degree in Business Administration and a minor in Advertising. I spent the first half of my 20's doing every job that you can imagine while trying to figure out what it is that I really wanted to do... and somehow I stumbled upon a career in recruiting. While this has been a great path to find my footing, I'm now on a journey to figure out what it is that I truly love and how to turn that into my passion. I'm the book that stands out on the shelf but you have to have a key to read my passages. I'm so excited to be joining Laura on this exploration of what it means to connect with nature, creativity, and spirituality.
