I think everybody takes on different things. For me, it was alcohol, and I never correlated it to... You turning your pain into purpose, because I can see now you help a lot of other people who have gone through the same thing.
Imagine growing up with the shadow of addiction looming over your family. That's the reality Josh Connolly faced when he lost his father to alcohol. In this episode, Josh opens up about how that trauma shaped his life and how he now uses his experiences to help others break free from similar cycles. As one of the UK's leading mental health advocates, Josh brings a wealth of knowledge and personal insight to the table.
He's spoken on major networks like BBC and ITV, contributed to mental health policies, and even advised on TV scripts for shows like Hollyoaks. But what makes his story truly compelling is his ability to turn personal pain into a mission of resilience and recovery. Josh discusses the emotional toll of family estrangement, especially when addiction is involved. He emphasizes the importance of addressing underlying emotional trauma and offers practical advice for detaching with love.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with addiction or family trauma, offering both hope and actionable steps toward healing. Through community support and inner work, Josh believes that individuals can create fulfilling lives they won't want to escape from.
