Jonny Wilkinson: Suffering in silence, insecurity & cultivating self-worth | Wellness with Ella

This week Ella is joined by Jonny Wilkinson for a candid conversation on replacing external validation with self-worth. They discuss the disconnect between Jonny’s external accomplishments (becoming one of the world’s greatest rugby players) and his internal struggles, his experience with depression and anxiety, the catalyst for addressing his mental health and the tools that enabled him to transform into the man he is today.
They discuss:
- Why external achievements and validation don’t bring lasting joy
- Succeeding professionally while struggling internally
- The pressure to keep on achieving
- Jonny’s experiences with anxiety and depression
- Getting off the hamster wheel of acting out of fear and low self-worth
- How to reframe your thoughts to accept difficult circumstances and feelings, unconditionally
- Cultivating self-trust and a supportive inner voice, and releasing the need to control
- Why nothing will change if you don’t apply what you understand
- The importance of regulating your nervous system
- Jonny’s practices for feeling well

Great work Ella and Jonny! He is a great spirit for me for talking about all his emotional and physical sides as a sportsman.

Incredibly inspiring! So awed by Johnny's vulnerability and honesty. Not a sports person but I saw him interview a spiritual leader and how he caught my interest. Then found your story Ella and how inspirational your life is too. Life is so fascinating in how what can seem the absolute worst pain and suffering can be the doorway to our truest self and best life. Blessings 💞

It's a gret mix of two worlds. Laying here in tears, not of sadness, not even releif, you could apply this to the catering world so well. Chesrs johnny. Je t'aime, tes vraiment incroyable mon gros.
