Change is Possible is a podcast about what it really takes to rebuild your life. Hosted by Dr Brian Pennie, former heroin addict turned neuroscientist, it explores the mechanics of change through raw conversations on addiction, burnout, trauma and identity. More than surface-level motivation, each episode reveals why we get stuck, how the brain drives behaviour, and what it takes to create lasting change. If you’ve ever thought, “I know what to do, so why am I not doing it?” this podcast is for you.
In this bite-sized episode of Change Is Possible, Dr Gabor Maté explores why modern life keeps us chasing more.
More pleasure.
More success.
More distraction.
More consumption.
More escape.
But beneath that constant striving is a deeper question:
What pain are we trying not to feel?
Gabor also reflects on addiction, trauma, modern culture, healing, and why the path to change often begins by looking at what we are running from.
The full conversation with Dr Gabor Maté is available now on Change Is Possible.
