Have you ever felt stuck in the cycle of always trying to heal, improve, or prove you're enough?
In this episode, Josh Connolly returns for a real conversation about sobriety, shame, fatherhood, self-worth, over-identifying with our wounds, and letting go of the pressure to always be doing "the work."
Josh shares how the release of his book, It's Them, Not You, and 13 years of sobriety have changed how he sees himself—and how he's redefining success, service, and community. We also explore the danger of staying stuck in the healing loop and the freedom that comes when we let go and allow joy.
🎙️ Topics include:
Josh shares candid reflections on shame, growth, and creating from love—not lack.
If you've ever wondered if it's okay to slow down, stop fixing, and just enjoy being human… this episode is for you.
💬 Share your thoughts in the comments — we'd love to hear how it lands.
