This week I sit down with Ginny Burton for one of the most powerful conversations ever featured on the podcast.

Introduced to drugs at just 7 years old by her own mother, Ginny’s life spiralled into addiction, crime, prison and years of survival mode. Arrests, felonies, jail cells and destruction became normal long before she ever had a chance at a normal childhood.

This is a story about escaping the life that was waiting to consume her. Ginny speaks openly about trauma, prison, recovery, motherhood, shame, survival and the brutal reality of trying to rebuild yourself after years of chaos.

This episode is raw, honest, heart-breaking and ultimately hopeful. A conversation about pain, resilience, redemption and the possibility of becoming someone entirely different from who the world expected you to be.

I personally found it a privilege and extremely inspiring to hear how Ginny have change her life and how she has become a beacon of light for all those she now helps.

The Clockwork Junkie Podcast

This week I sit down with Ronan Walsh for one of the most honest and emotional conversations ever featured on the podcast.

We talk about Zoe — Ronan’s daughter — who passed away at just 8 months old.

This episode isn’t about sensationalism or shock. It’s about grief, love, memory and the reality of trying to keep going after unimaginable loss. Ronan speaks openly about fatherhood, hospitals, helplessness, life after tragedy and what people often misunderstand about grief.

Most importantly, he talks about Zoe herself — who she was, and how she’s remembered.

This is a deeply human conversation about loss, resilience and the people we carry with us forever.
I would personally like to thank Ronan and his family for trusting me and the podcast as an outlet to share their story.

The Clockwork Junkie Podcast

Do we actually believe what we say we believe?

Or do we just like the sound of it?

In this episode, we take a closer look at the gap between what we claim to believe and how we actually live day to day. We get into:

the difference between belief and simple agreement

why many of our beliefs are borrowed, not built

how our habits quietly reveal what we truly value

and the tension that comes from living out of alignment.

This isn’t about calling anyone out. It’s about slowing down, being honest, and noticing the patterns we usually ignore. Because real belief isn’t what you say. It’s what shows up—consistently—in how you live.—And once you see that clearly…it’s hard to unsee.
