Camp Widow® presenter: Joshua Clayton
Health is wealth - optimising personal advancement
In this session, Josh will take you on an interactive journey through human movement, nutrition and hydration. Exploring how how it is connected to us on an elemental level, and how we can enhance our mood and our state, therefore our lives, through understanding the greater connection between us as humans and what fuels our body’s and mind!
Josh’s passion for nutrition comes from his late partner Haley who was diagnosed with Motor Neuron Disease in 2016. As it has no cure Josh, Haley and there 13 month old daughter Stella Rayne went on a journey into the healing power of food, water and the power of POSITIVITY.
If you haven’t heard of Positive Psychology you are about to enter Josh’s world where he has “Weaponised Positivity”. In this section of Josh’s presentation you will have the opportunity to discover the strengths that have been passed down from your late loved ones and how to draw on them when the grieving process gets overwhelming. You will discover your birth given strengths and the strengths you have acquired on your quest thus far, and how to utilise them in times of need.

Josh’s story was not always a smooth path, with Josh in the midst of training for an attempt at a shearing world record in 2016 when his partner was diagnosed with MND at 33 years old, and his family’s life was turned upside down.
Josh was widowed at the age of 33 and was left raising a 2.5 year old daughter. Josh didn’t quit on his dream and got himself back to the top of his craft and got back into world record shearing before stepping back into a trainers role in the shearing industry.
Josh spends his time raising his now 9 year old daughter where he grew up on the edge of the Blue Mountains in NSW and supports many avenues of the wool industry that he loves.
Josh is continuing his studies through sports psychology as he loves working with athletes and helping others reach their goals.
