Radio & Podcasts
This section of our website includes our collaborative "The Happier Me Podcast" and recordings of our radio show, Jordan’s Space.
The “A Happier Me” Podcast is a collaboration between Dr. Manoj Krishna, Founder of the app, HappierMe and The Jordan Legacy’s Founder, Steve Phillip.
Every month, ‘The Happier Me Podcast’ will explore different aspects of life, with an understanding that much of the personal suffering we experience can be reduced if we’re prepared to go on a journey of learning about our own selves and our mind.
Jordan’s Space is The Jordan Legacy’s radio show, which ran for more than 30 episodes from January 2022 – April 2024.
Each recording features an interview with a guest who shares their own unique experience of suicide or mental health and a choice of music which has a personal meaning to them.
At times, some interviews may be challenging to listen to but each one will always end on a positive note of hope for the future.
This show does discuss themes of suicide and while listening, we’d encourage you to take care of yourself by stepping away from the show at any point, should you find the content triggering or uncomfortable to listen to. For support, please visit our website’s Help resources.
The “A Happier Me” Podcast – Episode 5 – Avoiding and overcoming addiction.
When you think of the word ‘addiction’ what comes to mind – drink or drugs or perhaps gambling?
Addiction presents a complex and far-reaching challenge for our society, cutting across age, gender, socioeconomic status, and geography. Addiction impacts those around us in many forms and has widespread consequences for individuals, families, communities, and systems like healthcare, criminal justice, and the economy.
- 1 in 6 people have a drinking problem
- 8.8% of the population take non-prescribed drugs.
- 100,000 deaths/year from drug overdoses (US)
- 60% of all prisoners in our jails are addicted to drugs or alcohol
- 48% of British teens aged 16–18 report that they feel addicted to social media
- The risk of suicide is 6 times higher in people with an addiction
In this episode of the “A Happier Me” podcast Steve, together with Dr. Manoj Krishna discuss the impact of addiction on our lives, why our mind gets addicted in the first place, and what we can do to prevent it and overcome it.
