In this everyday burnout conversation, I sit down to chat with Josh Connolly.

Josh and I explore breathwork's role in helping us unlock profound emotional release and gain a deeper connection with the self—all crucial steps on the path to personal growth.

Josh shines a spotlight on the relentless pursuit of fulfilment in our consumerist society, which teams with the Western world’s chase for external gratification—something that often leads us to step closer to burnout. His insights into creating a sanctuary of inner security through self-awareness and breathwork illuminate the true and urgent need for the level of self-care we ALL need as we live in this fast-paced world.

We discuss the importance of addressing the root causes of emotional avoidance and the wisdom of tuning into our body's signals. Josh helps us unwrap the intricate connections between our formative years and the patterns we carry into adulthood.
