    Healing the Wounded Boy with Kevin Brown

    31/03/2026 | 1h 12 mins.
    In this episode of Dysfunctional, Josh sits down with Kevin Brown for a raw and honest conversation about men’s mental health, addiction, shame, and the long road from self-destruction to self-respect.

    Kev shares his journey through chaos, binge drinking, drug use, and living a double life, before a powerful moment of clarity helped him finally understand the impact of his childhood and the wounds he’d been carrying for years.

    They explore father wounds, generational patterns, endurance running, breathwork for emotional release, and why healing isn’t a single breakthrough moment, but a messy process of getting back up again and again.

    This episode is a grounded, deeply human conversation about learning to sit with the boy you once were… and becoming the man you choose to be.

    DO Loss with Sue Deagle

    10/03/2026 | 1h 4 mins.
    In this episode, Josh sits down with Sue Deagle for a powerful conversation about loss, grief, resilience, and life after everything changes.

    Sue shares the sudden loss of her husband and the journey of rebuilding a different kind of life in the aftermath. Together, Josh and Sue explore why grief and joy can exist at the same time, why people often struggle to support those in pain, and how loss is something we all face in different forms.

    They talk about friendship, courage, work, parenting through grief, and Sue’s powerful idea that after loss, a different kind of great is still possible.

    Safety, Belonging, Dignity: The Nervous System Truth Nobody Taught Us with Leona Waller & Ana Ally

    03/03/2026 | 1h 21 mins.
    This week I’m joined by Leona Waller and Ana Ally, hosts of The Body Knows, for a conversation that goes way beyond “regulating your nervous system.”
    We explore the three things your body is constantly organising around — safety, belonging, and dignity — and why so many of us were taught to override them.
    We talk somatics vs embodiment, the productisation of healing, chronic illness, disconnection, and what it actually means to come home to your body.
    If you’ve been stuck in your head trying to fix yourself, this one might change how you see everything.
