047. Josh Connolly | Suicide, Resilience & Emotional Freedom

047. Josh Connolly | Suicide, Resilience & Emotional Freedom

Today, I’ll be chatting with the one and only Josh Connolly. For Josh, December 2012 was the beginning of him seriously planning his suicide. Fast forward to December 2019, and he’s delivering resilience workshops to global organisations. Back then, he believed that resilience was the ability to keep going no matter what, avoid any struggle, and show up.

That idea drove him to a place where he felt the best thing to do for his children was to take his own life. Today, I have the pleasure of saying he has a new idea of resilience. One that is fluid, which allows him to struggle and ask for help. One that allows him to keep his head up and shoulders back despite his internal struggles.

One that embraces vulnerability and keeps him reachable. One that helps him to understand what he feels, know what he needs as a result and be able to communicate that within his activities and relationships.

Rather than driving him to suicide, this idea of resilience has helped to deliver emotional resilience training to village primary schools and global brands alike. Josh doesn’t believe he’s a new person, he’s the same person, with the same emotions. The difference today lies within what he does with the energy of those emotions.


Highlights:

  • Josh’s experience with suicide
  • The evolution of belief systems
  • Resilence
  • Addiction
  • The difference between anger and rage
  • Forgiveness vs acceptance
  • The battle with ego
  • Emotional freedom
