Good Humans with Cooper Chapman

This episode is one of the most powerful and personal we’ve ever shared.Niamh Connell – a member of the 1% Good Club – sent me an email that left me speechless. At just 23, she was facing five autoimmune conditions, debilitating rheumatoid arthritis, and a battle with severe depression that left her physically and emotionally broken. Doctors told her it would only get worse.But after hearing my episode on Darling, Shine!, Niamh decided to try something different. Breathwork, gratitude, anti-inflammatory foods, cold therapy – she took action, one step at a time.Fast forward two years: her arthritis is in remission, she’s off all medication, and she’s living a life she once thought was impossible.This conversation is a raw, emotional, and inspiring look into what can happen when you commit to healing – even just 1% a day. It's about hope, personal power, and the ripple effect of sharing stories.We talk about:Her journey through chronic illness and mental health strugglesDiscovering the 1% Good Club and breathworkHow small daily actions sparked massive transformationGetting her life back – from walking again to studying and travellingWhy community, mindset, and self-care changed everythingThis one will move you. It's proof that no matter how dark it feels, there is always a way forward.Folllow Niamh Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/niamhconnell17Grab a copy of "The 1% Good Club" Book!Amazon - https://amzn.to/46ve1i2Booktopia - https://booktopia.kh4ffx.net/e1xrkr🎧 Listen now and don’t forget to:✅ Subscribe to the podcast⭐ Leave a 5-star rating & review📲 Share this episode with friends & family📸 Take a screenshot and tag us on socials!🌍 Learn more about Cooper & The Good Human Factory:🔗 Instagram: @goodhumanspod | @thegoodhumanfactory | @cooperchapman💻 Website: www.thegoodhumanfactory.com🛍️ Merch: Use code PODCAST for 25% OFF – Shop Here📩 Sponsorship Enquiries: Want to sponsor the Good Humans Podcast?
