What happens when everything you thought would make you happy turns out to be empty?
In this episode, I sit down with Tom Griffin to explore his journey to awakening.
We speak about the slow disconnection from self that can happen even when life looks good from the outside… and what it really takes to wake up. Tom shares how losing everything cracked him open, leading to a deeper understanding of purpose, pain, and presence.
If you’ve ever experienced the nagging sensation that something in your life is “off” despite the external wins - this one’s for you.

One of the most crucial skills we need on the path is the ability to discern the guidance of our soul from that of our ego. This can be a tricky aspect to master, especially because many of us were told not to listen to our deep intuition.
Maureen guides us on getting to know that inner voice so we can make decisions from a place of expansiveness rather than fear.

In this episode I sit down with Maureen McGonegle. Maureen is a Quantum Hypnosis Practitioner and intuitive coach who is on a mission to uncover what it really means to follow the guidance of your soul.
Maureen shares how a moment of deep burnout in her corporate career led her to ask the question that changed everything: “Is this all there is?”
That search opened the door to past-life regressions, cosmic remembrance, and a series of life changing shifts driven by the radical dedication to intuition and aligning daily choices with her higher purpose.
We talk about how your future self is already guiding you through subtle signs, how to tell the difference between fear and intuition, and what it takes to live in harmony with your soul’s direction.

In this second part of my conversation with Myles Treanor, we go deeper into the story behind his Soul Alignment Method — and the near-death and mystical awakening experiences that changed his life.
We talk about how healing can ripple backward through our family lines, how the body itself can become a guide to spirit, and how the purpose of awakening is not to escape life, but to live it more fully.
Myles shows that awakening isn’t reserved for monks or mystics; it’s a practical, lived experience available to all of us.
Stay through the end for a short guided practice to help you experience awakening to the light of your true nature.

Welcome to The Human Kinder Podcast. This is a space for honest conversations about what it means to be human in a vast, mysterious universe. Who we are, how we grow, and how we find meaning in the middle of it all.
I started this podcast because of my own journey through anxiety, searching, and eventually discovering practices and perspectives that are helping me trust life a little more. I don’t have all the answers, but I want to share the questions I’ve been living with and the lessons that have shaped me so far.
Along the way, I’ll be sitting down with people who inspire me. Mystics, psychologists, researchers and teachers, through the lens that we are all humans seeking the truth about our reality.
My dream is that these episodes leave you feeling more hopeful, more loving, and more inspired to pursue your own path. I believe that if each one of us achieves this then our species will evolve to be what we must become - Human Kinder.

A first step to knowing your true self is to recognise that you are not your thoughts, emotions or sensations. You are the space in which they are all arising to be known. This space is unchanging and uneffected. Jude guides us to experience this ever-present freedom.

What does spending 7 years as a monk do a person?
I sit down with Jude-Martin Etuka, whose journey has taken him from years in a Nigerian monastery to teaching mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and leadership in the modern world.
We talk about what it means to really face suffering, how awareness can transform the way we live, and why self-leadership is at the heart of leading others. Jude shares openly about his own story, the silence, the struggles, and the practices that still guide him today.
This is a conversation about presence, compassion, and learning to meet life as it is. Jude’s wisdom is both practical and deeply human, and it reminds us that growth often comes through what we’d rather avoid.

People all across the world are waking up. Whether they achieve fame and success or almost lose their life the result is the same. They hit the highest of highs or the lowest of lows and realise that there is much more to life than they ever imagined.
They realise that their true self is much greater than any external condition and that its only by going within that they can achieve what they were chasing - unconditional love, peace and true purpose.
Season One of Human Kinder is about their stories. We are all mirrors, reflecting to each other the ways that we can learn and grow. May these stories reflect something to you that is useful for where you are now.
Welcome to the continious journey that is becoming Human Kinder.
In a world filled with noise and distraction, it’s easy to lose touch with the deeper questions of life. Who are we, really? Why are we here? And what does it mean to live with freedom, meaning, and connection?
The Human Kinder Podcast is an exploration of these mysteries. Hosted by Cian McEnroe, a leadership consultant, psychotherapist and lifelong seeker, the show dives into the edges of human understanding. We range from neuroscience and psychology to consciousness and healing, to relationships, purpose, and the soul’s journey.
Through conversations with spiritual teachers, psychologists, mystics, and explorers of inner worlds, Human Kinder invites you into a space of curiosity and transformation. Guests blend ancient wisdom with modern science, offering insights, practices, and stories that help you uncover your authentic self.
Whether you’re questioning reality, searching for healing, or simply wanting to live with more depth and joy, this podcast is here to support you on that path.
