Welcome to the first ever episode of Dysfunctional. In this episode I wanted to introduce you to exactly how this podcast is going to work. Me going off on different tangents with no plan whatsoever. It's like a 45 minute personal voice note from my chaotic mind. In future, expect topics of discussion but for now, welcome to the wonderful world of me. Oh and here is what AI makes of it all; Welcome to Dysfunctional: Embracing Authenticity and FearIn the inaugural episode of 'Dysfunctional,' Josh Connolly shares his journey into podcasting, emphasizing authenticity and embracing fear. He discusses his approach to balancing overthinking with action, the performance aspect of social media, and his desire for longer-form content to express himself more fully. Josh delves into his critiques of the wellness industry, his personal battles with validation, and his quest for living in the moment. He explains the philosophy behind his practices, including his experiences with addiction and public speaking, and opens up about his complex relationship with spirituality and social media. This first episode sets the tone for a raw, unfiltered exploration of Josh's mind, promising weekly insights and authentic conversations.00:00 Welcome to Dysfunctional: The First Episode00:56 Embracing Fear and Authenticity02:23 The Purpose of This Podcast04:38 Challenges in the Wellness Industry08:15 The Role of Social Media09:16 Personal Journey and Validation30:52 Living in the Moment42:52 Closing Thoughts and Future Plans Hosted on Acast.
