  1. Good Grief with Jason Byrne

    16 DEC

    Good Grief with Jason Byrne

    This week’s episode is Good Grief with award-winning and record-breaking comedian Jason Byrne & psychotherapist Dr. Richard Hogan. The fear you have when you say you’ve got an episode about grief is that people will think it’s super depressing but actually it’s not. It’s the opposite. It is poignant, at times hilarious and really really special. Irish comedian Jason Byrne is the biggest selling comedian in history at the world famous Edinburgh Fringe Festival and has appeared on the biggest TV comedy shows across the UK including BBC’s Live at the Apollo. He has also produced a very special one-man show called Paddy Lama all about his Dad Paddy, who he lost in 2020. In this beautiful and downright hilarious conversation, we explore the transformative power of grief and show that the most important thing we can do for a loved one that has died, and for ourselves, is to talk about them.  We’ve also got another wonderful guest to discuss the subject of grief - celebrity psychotherapist and author Dr. Richard Hogan. It’s a pleasure to welcome Richard back to the series and our conversation explores grief from all angles: how we navigate loss as children and adults, how everyone’s grief is different and even the language we use around death. It’s a fascinating, and I hope super helpful, conversation that could make all the difference for you or someone you care about.  The Mind Full Podcast is proudly sponsored by WHOOP, the world's most advanced fitness and health wearable.

The show will be a mix of comedy, craic, meditation and inspiration and hopefully an evening where you can relax and have a laugh and pick up some useful and fun tools too. If you’ve been feeling wound up, worn down, snowed under or bowled over this is the show for you so grab your stressed-out besties and your bedraggled partners, and join me as I travel all over Ireland and beyond and we’ll un-wreck our heads and destress our lives together.

  2. Embracing Change with Ryan Tubridy

    9 DEC

    Embracing Change with Ryan Tubridy

    This week’s topic is Embracing Change and it’s fair to say my special guest for this week has seen his fair share over the last year. He was host of RTÉ’s flagship chat show The Late Late Show for 14 years and he has also worked in RTÉ as a radio presenter for over 20 years, speaking to the nation every weekday morning at 9am for his hugely popular Tubridy Show. Following some very well publicized upheavals in RTÉ last year, he found himself across the Irish Sea and taking on a major role in UK broadcasting. Currently hosting his brand new radio show on Virgin Radio UK and host of the instantly successful podcast The Bookshelf,  Broadcaster Ryan Tubridy is my very special guest for this week. And we’ve also got another very important guest. When we’re facing major change in our life, or if we find ourselves pining to shake things up in our career, relationship or lifestyle, the financial part can be the most intimidating. So why not meet the man I went to when I was humming and hawing about making a major change to my career! My conversations with him were truly transformational so I wanted to bring him on the show to see if he could help allay any of your fears you may have around change and set you up for your most exciting life trajectory. Financial wizard Dave Quinn is also here to share his expertise.  The Mind Full Podcast is proudly sponsored by WHOOP, the world's most advanced fitness and health wearable.

    Parenting Special with Rosanna Davison

    This week on the show it’s our Parenting Special! We have two incredible guests for you. To talk about her heartbreaking and heartwarming journey to parenthood, I’m joined by author, model, entrepreneur, nutritionist, surrogacy advocate and former Miss World Rosanna Davison for a powerful conversation about the transformative power of becoming a parent. Our technical expert this week is social media sensation and practicing GP, Dr. Doireann O’Leary to look at the stresses and pressures facing modern parents. If you have humans in your house that look like you or you like the idea of that someday, this is the episode for you. Rosanna Davison has led an extraordinary life. Daughter of legendary popstar Chris de Burgh, she spent her whole life aware of the public glare and ever since she was crowned Miss World in 2003. In this beautiful conversation with Rosanna you’ll hear about her traumatic experience with 15 miscarriages, discovering and exploring surrogacy and the shock realisation that after all the heartbreak and challenges, she was naturally pregnant with twins, just 3 months after her surrogate birth. It’s an honest, powerful and hopefully helpful conversation that you will find truly fascinating.

    The Power of Music with Danny O'Reilly of The Coronas (Live)

    This week on the show we have another amazing guest - and another amazing Mind Full Live recording! Earlier this month we put on a live show in the beautiful Lark Concert Hall in Balbriggan, Dublin with Danny O’Reilly, the frontman for one of Ireland’s most successful bands - The Coronas - to discuss the power of music, while also treating us to a couple of stunning live performances in this very special show. Danny has also been part of my musical memory for nearly 20 years. I first came across the Coronas when they burst on to the Irish music scene with their album Heroes or Ghosts back in 2007. Danny is a natural performer, hailing from a very musical family which includes his mother the much-celebrated singer Mary Black and his chart topping and talented sister Roisin O. Danny has cleverly and successfully navigated a constantly changing music industry over the last 20 years driven by a deep lying drive to express himself as a musician and a performer. We were also joined on stage on the night by The Mind Full Podcast’s Producer Brian Connolly, who has a PhD in psychoacoustics. Brian joined us to discuss the neuroscience behind the power of music! The Coronas new album Thoughts and Observations is out now and go to thecoronas.net to see all their live dates including 5 nights at The Olympia in December– their Xmas shows there are legendary. They also play vicar street Dublin, the INEC arena in Killarney and Ulster Hall Belfast so grab your tickets if there are any left.  The Mind Full Podcast is proudly sponsored by WHOOP, the world's most advanced fitness and health wearable.

    Mental Wealth with Niall "Bressie" Breslin

    This week on the show we have another amazing guest - a former professional rugby player with European giants Leinster, lead singer with one of Ireland’s best known bands, The Blizzards, star of TV’s The Voice, mindfulness expert, mental health advocate, award-winning podcaster, philanthropist, best-selling author - Niall “Bressie” Breslin is my very special guest for today. It has been a long time coming but I think the timing for our chat is just perfect and I know you’re going to love it.  In this fascinatingly informative and insightful conversation, Niall speaks about the crucial role that mental health structures play in the country, the failings and solutions. Niall also discusses his powerful new audio series, which is exclusive to Audible “Madman’s Hotel.” An incredible mix of storytelling, podcast and documentary, Madman’s Hotel traces the story of Mullingar’s St Loman’s “lunatic asylum” as they were known in a different time which was founded in 1855 and closed in 2013. It tells the story of one patient in particular, Julia Leonard and the tragic journey her life took which brought her to spend her days behind the imposing grey walls in Westmeath and the programme also aims to shed light on a mental health system tearing at the seams and explores the mysterious disappearance of 1300 graves.

    Real Manifesting with WHOOP Founder & CEO Will Ahmed

WHOOP, a company that Will founded as a young man at Harvard, has become a worldwide success with the company valued at nearly 4 billion dollars.

We are also so excited to be joined by author, psychologist, neuroscientist and manifesting expert, Dr. Sabina Brennan. Sabina has just published her brand new book, the Neuroscience of Manifesting and if you’ve been feeling stuck, if you have a dream that’s been sitting in the back of your mind, if you’re ready for a change in career, relationship, money or any of your goals, then do not miss this invaluable deep dive into the scientifically proven and utterly fascinating exploration of Real Manifesting.

    Mental Toughness with Ex-Special Forces Ray Goggins

    This week is all about mental toughness – without having to jump out of a helicopter or survive in the jungle! Ray Goggins is a Former Army Ranger & Tier 1 Special Operations unit leader. Ray is as tough as they come and is also known from hit TV show Ultimate Hell Week on RTÉ where he has regularly made regular Joe Soaps and some celebs regret ever going on the show. He is author of the best-selling and fascinating book Ranger 22 – Lessons from the Front. From the hills of south Lebanon to the monsoon jungles of Southern Asia, Ray has operated in a life-and-death world. In Liberia, Afghanistan and the snow-covered Balkans, Ray has seen conflict zones, terrorist attacks and hostage rescues, and has learned the greatest life lessons: how to control fear, how to react calmly and positively, and what mental toughness is really all about. I also want to introduce you to a man who has dedicated his career to understanding what makes people mentally tough, what mental toughness actually is, the common misconceptions and if it’s something we’re born with or something we learn through living. Dr. John Perry is co-author of the fascinating book Developing Mental Toughness and found his way from the UK to the University of Limerick where he conducts world-leading research on the topic. As a sports and high-performance psychologist he works with elite athletes, educators and business people to help them uncover the secrets of achieving true success without getting in their own way.

    This week on the Mind Full Podcast I am so excited to bring you a very special guest. He’s an artist, writer, podcaster, comedian, musician, philosopher and is known to wear a plastic bag on his head from time to time.

The unique, funny and always creative Blindboy Boatclub is my guest this week. Blindboy is eloquent, open, honest and refreshingly funny about his neurodiversity and has helped so many young people deal with anxiety and other mental health issues. I sat down with Blindboy in a tent in a field in Stradbally Co. Laois. It was the Electric Picnic Festival and The Mind Full Podcast was part of the famous Mindfield. Blindboy was in rare form as they say and we had a wonderful chat about mindfulness, Limerick, writing, autism, and rats among other things!
