Podcast Insights
Content Themes
Explores themes of addiction recovery, personal challenges, and transformation with episodes highlighting individual recovery stories and discussions with experts on topics like the neuroscience of addiction and strategies for sustainable change, including a deep dive into how addiction affects the brain as discussed in the episode with Dr. Anna Lembke.
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.
Many people tell themselves they have more money than they really do, and that if they avoid looking at the problem, it might somehow disappear.
In this bite-sized conversation, financial expert and bestselling author Eoin McGee explains why financial avoidance is so common and why there is no single expense everyone should cut. The better question is whether your spending genuinely adds value to your life.
Eoin also reveals one of the biggest saving mistakes people make: waiting until the end of the month to save whatever is left. Saving isn’t something you’re either “good” or “bad” at – it’s a habit you build gradually.
And if you’re feeling financially trapped, Eoin offers a simple but powerful first step: talk to your best mate. Once you say the problem aloud, it becomes easier to face, share and solve.
