Season 3 - #22: Dr. Brian Pennie - Addiction, Shame, Recovery, healing trauma & the Path Back to Presence & peace

Welcome to season 3. It was a real honour to open the season with the inspirational Brian Pennie. Brian spent 15 years addicted to heroin before completely turning his life around and going on to complete a PhD in neuroscience. His story is extraordinary, and a powerful testament to resilience, recovery, and the depth of the human spirit.We talk about anxiety, shame, addiction, masculinity, spirituality, the quieting of the inner voice and what success actually means when you strip it all back.This is a conversation about unlearning, about presence, about sitting with discomfort instead of running from it,.If you care about mental health, men’s work, recovery, or simply living with more peace and honesty, this one is for you.This was one of my favourite conversations to date, and I have no doubt you will take a huge amount from listening to it.About Brian:Dr Brian Pennie is neuroscientist and resilience specialist, and also works as an advisor and business coach to some of Ireland’s leading CEOs.
