What does it really mean to be alive, not just successful? And what happens when you stop trying to control life and start learning how to feel it?

In this powerful episode of Love Purpose Connection, Estelle is joined by rugby legend Jonny Wilkinson for a heartfelt conversation about presence, healing, and living from the heart.

Jonny reflects on the inner journey that followed his success, shaped by anxiety, pressure, and a deep search for peace and how curiosity, Buddhism, and learning to surrender transformed both his performance and his life.

Together, they explore vulnerability, acceptance, and the courage to meet discomfort with compassion. From “mini deaths” that lead to growth to moments of pure flow, this conversation goes far beyond rugby and into what it truly means to be present.

At its core, this episode is about hope: that breakdowns can become breakthroughs, healing unlocks potential, and when we stop forcing life, something far more meaningful can unfold.

In this episode:

• What it really means to be alive and present
• Why breakdowns can become breakthroughs
• Curiosity as a gateway to new ways of being
• Acceptance, surrender, and letting go of control
• Vulnerability as true courage
• Archetypes, warrior, martyr, saviour,
• Masculinity, sensitivity, and emotional awareness
• Spirituality, Buddhism, and the search for peace
• Flow states, performance, and the “quantum field”
• Living from the heart instead of the head
• Men’s mental health and learning to feel

This is a conversation about surrender, awareness, and learning to trust life... even when it feels uncomfortable.

What happens when you finally say how you feel, after years of not having the tools, the language, or the permission to do so?

In this deeply honest and emotional episode of Love Purpose Connection, Estelle is joined by Matt Johnsons for a conversation about men’s mental health, masculinity, grief, and the unexpected ways love finds us, even through the heartbreak of losing a pet.

Matt shares how growing up without emotional tools as a working-class man left him struggling in silence, how speaking about his feelings quite literally saved his life, and how spaces for honest male connection helped him feel less alone. He opens up about depression, shame, masculinity, and the courage it takes to be sensitive in a world that often tells men not to be.

At the heart of this episode is grief, particularly the profound heartbreak of losing his beloved pug. Matt reflects on how having a dog gave him purpose, eased loneliness, and ultimately taught him unconditional love. Losing him broke his heart, but also cracked it open in a way that forever changed how he loves himself and others and how this lead to his RSPCA campaign to help people grieving a pet have a voice.

In this episode -

• Men’s mental health and emotional honesty
• How talking about feelings can save lives
• Masculinity, sensitivity, and redefining strength
• Depression, shame, and self-reflection
• Grief and the heartbreak of losing a pet
• Purpose, loneliness, and responsibility
• What pets teach us about unconditional love

This is a conversation about vulnerability, hope, and the quiet power of choosing connection, even when it hurts.
