Josh Connolly

Welcome to Proper Mental episode 74 Josh Connolly is a resilience coach, breath work facilitator and one of the U.K’s most influential mental health advocates.

Josh struggled with alcohol addiction from a young age but it was only once he gave up drinking that he started to struggle to the point of planning his own death.  A chance moment with his children turned him around and he started to rebuild from there.

His experiences took him on a journey of healing and transformation and he now passes his learnings on to others though coaching, speaking and training.

He now speaks regularly on BBC, ITV and Channel 5 news and runs resilience workshops all over the U.K.  He has spoken at the House of Commons, contributed to mental health policy and advised the scriptwriting team on Hollyoaks.

In this episode Josh and I talk about getting sober, the power of breathwork, feeling our feelings and the true meaning of resilience.

I’ve followed Josh on social media for a while and his content is both powerful and empowering and it was really cool to get to chat to him about his life and his work.
