Josey Tynes: Navigating past, present and creating a beautiful life

I first met Josey years ago, in one of the most emotionally charged environments you can imagine, a recovery group setting where we were supporting a close family friend in early sobriety. I had been invited to show up as part of their support system, and I ended up sitting in on a group session that Josey was leading. What I witnessed left a lasting impression. Her presence, professionalism, and ability to hold space for people in deep struggle, it was powerful.

Fast forward to a few years later, we reconnected in a completely different context: the fitness world. We got to talking about her business, her mission, and the community she was building. That’s when I realized she wasn’t just running a company she was creating a movement for people who are working to rebuild their lives. And as 2025 began, I was lucky enough to join her team, offering support as a performance coach to clients who could benefit from that extra layer of care.

Josey is the founder of Parallels Consulting, a standout therapy and psychiatric service that’s redefining what healing can look like. Their philosophy is rooted in drawing powerful connections between past behavior and future outcomes, between what’s lived and what’s possible. It’s about helping people move from surviving to thriving.

Josey brings over 13 years of deep, hands-on experience across both the clinical and corporate sides of the healthcare world. Before stepping into leadership, she worked as a primary therapist at six top behavioral health facilities, where she not only treated clients but innovated. She created and authored a gender-specific program that brought holistic services into the therapeutic space something that changed lives and redefined what was possible for treatment centers.

In this episode, we talk about why she does this work, what fuels her passion, how her own recovery shaped her path, and what it means to show up as a mother, wife, student, and healer all at once. Josey’s story is one of resilience, reinvention, and deep service to others. If you're someone who's ever struggled or love someone who has this conversation is going to resonate.

So, lean in. You might just walk away with a new perspective, some hope, and a deeper understanding of what’s possible.
