Josh Connolly: From Despair to Resilience

Resilience is not necessarily easy, because we are so good at lying to ourselves, the ways we will trick and deceive ourselves and create narratives.
Imagine feeling so overwhelmed that you start planning your own suicide, only to later find yourself teaching resilience to global organizations. That's the powerful story of Josh Connolly. In this episode of 'The Self Development Podcast', host Johnny Lawrence sits down with Josh to explore his remarkable journey from the brink of despair to becoming a beacon of hope for many.
Back in December 2012, Josh was at his lowest point, convinced that ending his life was the best thing he could do for his children. Fast forward to December 2019, and he's leading resilience workshops worldwide. Josh shares how his understanding of resilience has evolved from a rigid 'keep going no matter what' mentality to a more fluid approach that embraces struggle and vulnerability.
He talks about the importance of creating safe spaces for people to express themselves and the transformative power of sharing one's truth. The conversation also delves into dealing with anger and shame, practicing radical acceptance, and the significant role sobriety has played in Josh's personal growth. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration and practical advice on overcoming life's toughest challenges.
