Nick Jonsson Featured on The Jōrni Podcast: Navigating Sobriety, Recovery, and Mental Health
Nick Jonsson, Founder of Limitless, bestselling author of Executive Loneliness, and accredited Sober Coach, joins Petra Brunnbauer on The Jōrni Podcast for a powerful and deeply honest conversation on sobriety, recovery, mental health, burnout, addiction, and executive loneliness.
In Episode 384, titled Navigating Sobriety, Recovery, and Mental Health with Nick Jonsson, Nick shares how success can look strong from the outside while something very different is happening beneath the surface.
This conversation goes beyond performance.
It explores what happens when the pressure to keep going leaves little room to acknowledge isolation, burnout, or the habits that slowly begin to take hold behind closed doors.
For many leaders and high performers, mental health struggles are hidden behind achievement. The calendar stays full. The results continue. The outside image remains intact.
But internally, the cost can become overwhelming.
In this episode, Nick opens up about his own recovery journey, more than seven years of sobriety, and the deeper work required to move beyond destructive patterns into connection, purpose, discipline, and sustainable wellbeing.
