Season 3 - Episode 2: My Chat with Paddy Gower
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, I'm joined by Paddy Gower for a really honest conversation about drinking, culture, and what actually drives change.
We talk about how easy it is for drinking to feel “normal”, especially in New Zealand, and why that can make it so hard to recognise when something isn’t quite right.
Paddy shares his experience of what shifted things for him, including the moment someone close to him had the courage to say something, and why that can be so powerful.
We also explore:
- why high-functioning drinking is often the hardest to change
- why so many people struggle to ask for help
- and what actually improves when you step away from alcohol
If you’ve ever found yourself thinking “it’s not that bad” but are also starting to wonder if something needs to change, this conversation will resonate.
