Josh is one of the UK’s most influential mental health advocates and he regularly speaks on the BBC, ITV & Channel 5 news. Josh has spoken in the House of Commons, contributed to government mental health policy and even advised the scriptwriting team on Hollyoaks. He now runs resilience workshops for global brands and organisations. Josh has become quite the authority on vulnerability, resilience and managing emotions. Josh takes us through his incredible story: In 2012 he planned his suicide, thinking it was the best thing that he could do for his children. He believed that resilience was the ability to keep going no matter what and to avoid any struggle. We cover how his view of resilience has changed into a far more fluid concept and one that embraces vulnerability. We discuss emotions and how best to deal with them, what it means to ask for help and how his battle with alcohol contributed to his suicidal phase. Josh’s positivity is contagious. His podcast is a must listen for anyone who is struggling.
