What if the life you've spent decades building no longer feels like yours?

In this episode of Dysfunctional, Josh sits down with coach, mediator, yoga teacher and author Wyndham James to explore what really happens when success stops feeling successful.

After spending twenty years in a corporate career he knew wasn't right for him, Wyndham eventually found himself unable to ignore the growing disconnect between the life he was living and the life he wanted. What followed wasn't just a career change. It was a complete re-evaluation of identity, purpose and what it means to live authentically.

Together, Josh and Wyndham discuss:

Why midlife crisis might actually be a gift

The fear of success versus the fear of failure

How people become trapped in lives that look good on paper

The hidden cost of people-pleasing and performance

Why certainty can kill curiosity and growth

The danger of putting teachers, experts and influencers on pedestals

How breakdowns often become the foundation for breakthroughs

The challenge of living your values when it costs you something
