Samhain is Gaelic festival on 1 November marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter or the "darker half" of the year. According to Irish mythology, Samhain (like Bealtaine) was a time when the 'doorways' to the Otherworld opened, allowing supernatural beings and the souls of the dead to come into our world; while Bealtaine was a summer festival for the living, Samhain "was essentially a festival for the dead".
We explore this and some spooky tales with our guest Seán Clancy who has many titles including Accredited Seanachaí (traditional Gaelic storyteller/ historian), Irish Pagan, Druid, ITGA Tour Guide, The Order of Bards, Ovates & Druids (OBOD) member, Organic Farmer, Hill of Uisneach Guide, Photographer for fun, Chartered Engineer with Westmeath Councuil and most importantly a Dad & Husband.

Aidan feels like he is melting away in the Vienna sunshine and he is using the extreme heat as a motivation to stay inside and get some work done on his laptop. This led us into a discussion about motivation, inspiration what it all means. Stephen believes motivation doesn't exist and Aidan feels actions result from discipline and consistency. There is nothing sexy about either of those but worth having a conversation about them.
Motivation is not the cause of action, it is the result. “Inspiration is for amateurs; the rest of us just show up and get to work.” – Chuck Close
Consider asking yourself or others:
What have you been putting off by waiting to be motivated? What can you do to "self-motivate" instead?Grab yourself a brew and join in the conversation with someone else.

I Ain't Worried (is a banger of a tune for a start) is one of those episodes where the lads take a topic and go on tangents here and there trying to figure out why they often worry, where it gets them and what it prevents them from achieving at times. They discuss one of their favourite quotes “Don't think. Just do,” and how such a simple phrase from a Tom Cruise film can profoundly impact making decisions both big and small. Are we obsessed with productivity and making the "right" decision.

"No man ever steps into the same river twice, for it's not the same river, and he's not the same man." - Heraclitus
Almost three years ago, we started the Soul Brew Podcast. It was shortly after a period when the entire world came to a standstill due to COVID-19.
A time that forced us to reevaluate many things, including our life choices. Around that time we began to openly explore where we were in life. Stephen, who had just completed his travels, was a very different man back then. In this podcast, we talk about life's changes, how it's okay to change opinions, and, to some degree, how it's necessary for growth. If we cling to the same narrative, we refuse to evolve, grow, and develop. This episode recaps Stephen's growth, development, and choices in life to date. It's a great conversation to have with friends and family to reflect on how much you've grown and developed over the past years. What has happened in your life since COVID-19?

Dr Sharon Lambert is a lecturer in the School of Applied Psychology in UCC. Sharon’s research interests revolve primarily around inclusion psychology/inclusion health in the areas of mental health, substance dependence, homelessness and trauma and consequent impacts on service design and delivery and is regularly published in peer-reviewed journals and delivers seminars.
We discussed how podcasting has made mental health and wellbeing information more accessible and understandable for listeners and a new study has proved that they can in fact improve mental health literacy. The paper, published by Dr Lambert and Naoise Ó Caoilte from UCC, shows that access to information through podcasts has decreased stigma and increased help-seeking amongst listeners. We also talk about topics including stress, mental health, mens mental health, trauma and looking at change on the individual and societal level.

Man's Search for Meaning is one of those books constantly suggested as a "must-read". Aidan and Stephen have reread the book lately and discussed some of their key findings and thoughts from it.
In Man's Search for Meaning, Victor E. Frankl describes his lessons learned as a holocaust survivor, and how his experiences shaped his understanding of meaning. The will to meaning, his iconic Logotherapy, and the true meaning of life are all masterfully explained by Frankl.
