In this episode, we delve into finding out about the person behind the persona whom people think they know and we get deep, hearing that his first taste of being thrust into the limelight on Australian Idol in 2003, he actually contemplated suicide.
Speaking out and sharing that
“it was the worst, I freaked out,”
and post-show life allowed him to realise he didn’t actually “want” any of the aspects that came alongside fame.
Surrounding himself with a strong support network, he went on to carve out a successful career in the industry and went on to utilise his very platform as an advocate and ambassador for many organisations spreading the word on Mental Health.

Joshua Broome shares his truth on the Imperfectly Perfect Podcast
‘I am a father of 3 beautiful boys, I have a wife who loves me so much and we’ve been married for 5 years last week and I have a story that lets people know ‘hey, if you believe that having all this sex is going to make you happy, it didn’t make me happy. Fame, No it didn’t work. Money, I made over a million dollars at the time in the industry, didn’t work. I actually achieved everything that I believe would make me happier and at the end of it, I was left broken and depressed and I realised that, man if this won’t bring me happiness and piece what will and I get to point someone to that one thing that does provide peace’ @iamjoshuabroome
Upcoming Episode for the @imperfectlyperfect_podcast coming soon
He Was One of the Top Five Male Porn Stars in the World. Now He’s a Pastor.
Joshua Broome wanted to die. After achieving fame firstly in acting then the porn industry, he spirraled down into a pit of confusion, was at the end of himself — and believed he had no viable path forward. Seeing beyond the fog of the present felt impossible. After years of buried emotions, the former adult film star could no longer compress his angst and fear. “I'm thinking, ‘I want to die.
I don't have the guts to kill myself, but like how would I do it ... I just don't want to live anymore. There's no future, there's no one who's going to marry me, there's no employer who’s going to hire me ... I'm absolutely useless.’”
But rather than give up, Broome mustered the courage to leave the industry and rebuild his life and is now a husband, father and pastor, boldly defying the lies he told himself in the midst of his despair.

Willa Amai talks about her new music, mental health and more on the ImperfectlyPerfect Podcast
We are so excited this week with the release of our upcoming episode for the ImperfectlyPerfect Podcast with the incredibly talented Willa Amai @willaamai
What an absolute honour to chat with an artist at such a young age making waves around the world with her music and songwriting, sharing her gift and openly speaking about her struggles with anxiety to let people know it’s ok not to be ok.
Coming up on the episode, we hear all about Willa’s journey from the age of 12-years-old, being introduced to multi-platinum, Grammy Award-nominated producer, Linda Perry @reallindaperry (P!nk, Adele, Gwen Stefani, Christina Aguilera), where she played a fragment of a piece she had written and told to go back within 3 months with 5 more songs.
Not only did she go back, but with 6 songs.
Perry realized there was much more to this young musician and signed her to the label/publishing/management company she co-founded.
We hear all about her ability to put her feelings in to her songwriting, sharing her struggles with anxiety and using the power of that gift to tell her story which has seen her go on to achieve some amazing respect and recognition in the industry.
At 14, Willa won acclaim for her gently breathtaking rendition of Dolly Parton’s “Here You Come Again” (recorded with Dolly herself and featured on the talent filled Dumplin’ soundtrack). Esquire praised the duet as “truly exceptional” and “one of the few moments that an accompanying voice is able to keep up with Parton’s.”
Refinery29 hailed their interaction as “a passing of the torch.”
In addition to her duet with Dolly, Willa had the opportunity to join another of her musical influences when Brandi Carlile invited her to perform a duet at the Great American Music Hall.
Now 17, Willa has begun sharing her music with the world, showing the extraordinary depth of her narrative voice and the subtle power of her songwriting.
With her eagerly awaited first album ‘I can go to bed whenever’ releasing June 4, produced by Linda Perry and recorded in Los Angeles at Perry’s Greenleaf Studios with the album’s focus track "Too Close" comes out the same day
We are excited and so should you be !!!
