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.

Cancer Gave Me More Than It Took - Georgie Crawford
Saison 1 · Épisode 1
mercredi 27 août 2025 • Durée 01:13:32
At 32, with an 8-month-old baby, Georgie Crawford heard the words no one is ever ready for: “You have cancer.” In an instant, her world burned down. But what happens when there’s nowhere left to run? In this episode, Georgie shows how sitting with her pain, instead of numbing it, became the turning point of her life. Georgie speaks with extraordinary honesty about living in survival mode, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and the numbing behaviours she used to cope before illness forced her to stop running and finally stay with herself. What followed was the dismantling of identity, ego, and old coping mechanisms — and the beginning of self compassion, resilience, and deep personal growth.
Together, Brian and Georgie explore:
Cancer as a catalyst for identity death and rebirth
Why people-pleasing is often a trauma response
The nervous system, stillness, and staying with discomfort
The “burnt potato” metaphor and chronic self-sacrifice
Self-talk, boundaries, and emotional regulation
Community, connection, and what really makes life meaningful
Why change is possible — even after life-altering trauma
This episode is for anyone who feels exhausted from holding it all together, stuck in busyness, or disconnected from themselves — and is ready to stop running and start listening.

You’ve Been Lied to About Food
Saison 2 · Épisode 1
mardi 3 mars 2026 • Durée 01:15:29
Why do we crave certain foods… even when we know they don’t make us feel good? In this eye-opening conversation, Sophie Morris shares how a life-changing illness at 16 shaped her relationship with health — and led her to expose what’s really happening inside our food system. We explore ultra- processed foods, behaviour change, food marketing psychology and why awareness is the first step to better physical and mental health.
This episode covers:
How food affects mood, energy and mental health
The psychology behind cravings and “addictive” foods
The real problem with ultra-processed foods
Why reading ingredients changes behaviour
The truth about food labels & marketing claims
Empowerment vs fear around nutrition
Small habit changes that actually stick
This conversation is about more than food — it’s about empowerment, self-awareness, and how small changes can create massive transformation.

Dr Gabor Maté on Addiction, Trauma & Why You Were Never Broken
Saison 1 · Épisode 12
mardi 24 février 2026 • Durée 12:45
What if addiction isn’t the problem — but the solution to deep emotional pain? In this powerful conversation, renowned physician and trauma expert Dr Gabor Maté joins Dr Brian Pennie to explore the true roots of addiction, healing, and human connection. When Brian shares his lived experience with heroin addiction, Gabor challenges conventional thinking. He explains why addiction is not a disease or personal failure, but an attempt to meet unmet needs like safety, warmth, love, and belonging. Gabor also shares why recovery is less about fixing what’s “broken” and more about reclaiming your authentic self—the part of you that was never truly lost. He also outlines the essential role of compassion in healing, describing four active levels of compassion that can transform how we support loved ones struggling with addiction.
Together, they unpack:
The difference between being recovered and in recovery
How childhood trauma is created by being alone with pain
Why compassion — not force or control — is the key to healing
How loved ones can help without enabling or co-dependency
The four levels of compassion that allow real change to happen
Recovery means reclaiming your true self
Trying to force change creates resistance
If you’re interested in trauma, mental health, personal growth, or supporting someone through addiction, this short but profound interview will reshape how you understand healing—and what real change actually looks like.
Healing Trauma Through Community and Connection - Niall Breslin (Bressie)
Saison 1 · Épisode 3
mardi 16 septembre 2025 • Durée 01:09:37
Bressie (Niall Breslin) reflects on some of the most difficult chapters of his life—from living through war as a teenager on the Lebanon-Israel border to battling depression during his rugby career. He shares how these experiences shaped his relationship with anxiety, the isolating effect of loneliness, and the role of expression, language, and community in healing. The discussion broadens to examine how neoliberalism, bureaucracy, and individualism have fuelled crises in housing, healthcare, and inequality, while also deepening disconnection. Together, we explore the myths of achievement, the balance between discipline and rest, and the values that now guide Bressie’s life—family, creativity, and connection. Ultimately, the conversation highlights that true resilience and meaningful change stem not from relentless striving or medicalising social struggles, but from redefining our values, embracing community, and acknowledging the impermanence of both suffering and success.

Bonus Episode: Success Isn’t Hustle — It’s Who You Love & How You Live
Saison 1 · Épisode 11
mardi 10 février 2026 • Durée 10:29
“If you died tomorrow, success wouldn’t be your career… it would be the people you made scrambled eggs for.” Those are the words of Angela Scanlon, Irish broadcaster and author known for hosting shows on the BBC and RTÉ. In this honest, reflective conversation, we unpack drive, ambition, ADHD, fear of death, and the quiet moments that end up defining a life. From chasing “best in class” in every area, to burning out on shiny achievements, this bonus episode explores how success evolves — and why relationships, presence, and joy might matter more than productivity ever could.
We talk about:
The dark side of relentless drive
Why opening “7 tabs” in life leads to exhaustion
ADHD, over-functioning, and self-compassion
Fear of death — and fear of regret
A near-death experience that changed everything
Practical tools to stay close to joy and time (weekly reminders, yearly planners, sacred holidays)
🎧 If you’re questioning hustle culture, redefining success, or trying to live more intentionally — this episode is for you. Because success isn’t what you achieve — it’s how you live, who you love, and what you don’t postpone.
00:00 – What does success mean now? Redefining ambition after burnout and destructive drive
01:10 – The double-edged sword of being “driven” Resilience, relentlessness, and learning when to stop
02:30 – Chasing shiny lights vs valuing solid foundations Why success can make you devalue what actually feeds you
03:55 – “Best in class” thinking & opening 7 tabs inlife Self-criticism, comparison, and impossible expectations
Legacy, relationships, and what really matters when you’re gone
Lessons on Belief, Addiction, Discomfort, and Change
Saison 1 · Épisode 10
mardi 23 décembre 2025 • Durée 37:54
Most of us don’t discover who we really are until life pushes us to the edge. In this solo episode, Brian reflects on some of the most powerful insights from recent podcast guests, exploring what they reveal about growth, resilience, addiction, social media, human connection, and the nature of change. We discuss the “other self” — the hidden part of us that emerges through adversity — and why discomfort is often the gateway to awareness, strength, and compassion. Drawing on conversations with guests such as Jack Kavanagh, Georgie Crawford, Professor Anna Lembke, Brian McDermott, Niall Breslin, and others, this episode explores why modern life makes it harder to sit with ourselves, and how phones, dopamine, and constant comfort can disconnect us from meaning. Brian also unpacks addiction as a solution to pain rather than a moral failing, how to support loved ones without enabling, the role of self-belief and action, and why creating space for rest, gratitude, and kindness is essential in today’s world.
This episode is for anyone feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck in habits, or searching for deeper purpose — and for those who want to understand how challenge can become fuel for growth.
The Dopamine Trap: Dr Anna Lembke Explains Why Phones, Porn & Pleasure Are Making Us Miserable
Saison 1 · Épisode 9
mardi 9 décembre 2025 • Durée 59:56
From social media to addictive foods and substances, our modern world is flooded with dopamine addictions. How do we break free? Dr Anna Lembke is Professor of Psychiatry at Stanford University School of Medicine and chief of the Stanford Addiction Medicine Dual Diagnosis Clinic. She is the author of the New York Times best-selling book: Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence.
In this conversation, Dr Lembke joins Brian to discuss how our phones have become the modern hypodermic needle, the neuroscience of addiction, how dopamine drives compulsive behaviours, and why change is possible for every single person — even in extreme cases. She also explains why dopamine resets are essential, and how abstinence, therapy, medication, and community support work together to rewire the brain. Anna and Brian also explore why people relapse, whether someone can ever be “fully recovered,” how co-dependency sabotages healing, and what families can actually do to help a loved one struggling with addiction. The episode also tackles youth mental health, the impact of phones and online content on developing brains, and Anna’s powerful advice for parents, teens, and anyone trying to make positive change. If you’re interested in mental health, addiction recovery, dopamine, phone addiction, or personal transformation, this episode is a must-watch.
Busy, Wrecked & Ready for Change – Dermot Whelan on Anxiety, Purpose & Finding Space
Saison 1 · Épisode 8
mardi 25 novembre 2025 • Durée 01:18:15
Do you ever put on a brave front while feeling stressed, wrecked, and broken inside? That was Dermot Whelan. On the surface, he was thriving — a TV show, a hit radio gig, and a rising stand-up career — but behind it all, he was anxious, exhausted, sleepless, and struggling with self-belief. Alcohol became his go-to coping tool until a panic attack and a drunken fall forced him to change. He had heard about meditation, decided to give it a shot, and has never looked back! In this episode, Dermot opens up about how anxiety shaped his early life, why performers chase the “flow state,” and how alcohol became an unhealthy comfort. With humour and practical wisdom, he shares how he rebuilt his nervous system, reconnected with his values, embraced silence, and started following his gut instinct toward change. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or burned out, this conversation is packed with simple, grounded insights to manage stress, break unhelpful habits, make clearer decisions, and finally get unstuck.

mardi 11 novembre 2025 • Durée 01:14:04
