Some stories don’t just change a life, they resurrect one.
Dr. Brian Pennie went from the grip of heroin addiction to the halls of academia, rebuilding his mind, body and soul, piece by piece until he could finally understand the very thing that once tried to destroy him.
Today he’s a lecturer, researcher, author, podcast host, and speaker as one of Ireland’s most compelling voices on resilience, neuroscience, and awakening.
But before the doctorate, before the stages, before the science, there was a man fighting for his life.
This episode is the truth behind the transformation: the relapse, the moment of awakening, the rebuilding of self, and the mission he lives by now, to show people what’s possible when they stop running and finally turn inward.
This conversation is pure gold from beginning to end, enjoy!
