  1. Mental Toughness with Ex-Special Forces Ray Goggins

    6 DAYS AGO

    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.

    The World According to Blindboy (Live from Electric Picnic)

    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. He is one half of the incredible musical duo the Rubberbandits and a man I first came across when we worked together on the TV show The Republic of Telly. 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!

    Overwhelm with Emma Doran

    Ever find yourself a bit frazzled? If so, then this episode is for you! Emma Doran is a stand-up comic, podcaster, author & sketch comedian who you may have seen recently on Amazon Prime’s LOL – Last One Laughing Ireland. Emma has appeared on comedy shows like The Republic of Telly and the No Worries if Not sketch show on RTÉ TV. Her online sketches are just brilliant and have earned her a loyal and fanatical following who pack theatres on her live tours. Emma’s brand new book Mad Isn’t It? is insightful and hilarious and tells the story of a solo trip with her best friend to a Wexford caravan park, where a barely 18-year-old virginal (ish) Emma discovers it only takes one time to change your life forever and, in her own words, end up covered in stretch marks! Emma is so authentic and has a wonderful outlook on life so jump on in for inspiration! Allison is a psychologist, bestselling author and columnist, whose much loved Ask Allison column in the Irish Independent is a firm favourite with readers. She’s the author of two books The Secret Lives of Adults and her just published and wonderful book It’s All Too Much - Practical Ways to Pause Panic Attacks, Reduce Anxiety and Overwhelm and Rediscover Everyday Joy. If you find yourself a bit frayed around the edges sometimes, you’ll get so much from these wonderful insights from Allison Keating.  The Mind Full Podcast is proudly sponsored by WHOOP, the world's most advanced fitness and health wearable.

    Healing with Glen Power of The Script

    This week on The Mind Full Podcast we are so excited to bring you an incredible guest - Glen Power from worldwide powerhouse band The Script. Glen has an incredible mind, is such a lovely fella and as well as being part of a band that has seen 10 billion streams, 12 million album sales and 6 UK no.1s, he is also a profound thinker, an exceptionally wise teacher and has taken time out from a US stadium tour to chat to us all. We look at the impact of losing his best friend and bandmate Mark Sheehan tragically last year, alcohol free living, touring with Pink, finding space in the busyness and not losing sight of what’s really important - Plus all his favourite techniques for dealing with a full mind including his own invention of un-peopling! This interview comes as The Script release their latest studio album Satellites which is just brilliant, particularly the opening track Both Ways – an absolute belter! I’m so glad you can join us for that this week.  No need for a tech expert this week as Glen is a beautiful teacher himself, he even is a trained Reiki practitioner! If you’ve ever lost someone close to you, or have found yourself all at sea in your own life, there are so many wonderful takeaways from this very special episode.

    The Strengths of Neurodiversity with Cian Twomey

    This week on The Mind Full Podcast we are so excited to bring you an incredible guest in the form of one of social media’s content pioneers. For the last 12 years, Cork man Cian Twomey has been a comedy content creator, focusing mainly on character sketches depicting hilarious real-life scenarios. Over all social media platforms, Cian has gathered over 9 million followers, with his videos exceeding a total of 4 billion views. That is mind boggling! Despite his enormous audience, Cian does not do many interviews. This is only his second ever long form interview and the very first time he has spoken in depth about his recent ADHD diagnosis.  The Strengths of Neurodiversity is our topic for today and I’m also delighted to be joined by clinical psychologist and star of TV’s Operation Transformation Dr. Eddie Murphy. Eddie has such a great mind and a great way of making complex concepts accessible and we’re going to do our best to make the area of neurodivergence including the likes of ADHD as understandable as possible.  If ADHD or neurodivergence is something that you or a loved one are navigating at present and you’re curious about what it means, how it’s experienced, the road to diagnosis and what the benefits and strengths of neurodivergence are then this is the place to be.  The Mind Full Podcast is proudly sponsored by WHOOP, the world's most advanced fitness and health wearable.

    Does Gratitude Really Work? With Angela Scanlon

    What?? Our last episode of the season?? I can’t believe we’ve reached episode 12 already! I have had so much fun making this podcast and sharing it all with you. I’ve learned tonnes and hope you have too. Before I tell you about our fabulous guests this week, I have to let you in on my latest and greatest news! Dermot Whelan Live – The Busy and Wrecked Tour is coming to a theatre near you! Tickets go on sale from Friday 24th May so check out www.dermotwhelan.com for all the details and I can’t wait to get back out on the road and meet you all. The show will be a mix of comedy, craic, meditation & inspiration and hopefully an evening where you can relax, 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. Incidentally, I love to see teenagers at my shows too - you just have to be over 14.  And if you missed my last tour Mind Full then you’re in luck because you can catch it again in November! I’ll be doing two special shows, one at the Púca Festival in Trim, County Meath and also at the gorgeous new Lark Concert Hall in Balbriggan, Dublin. Tickets for those also go on sale next Friday 24th May so grab them while you can! You can also find me at Electric Picnic on Aug 17th too! Back to The Mind Full Podcast and in this brand-new episode we ask the question ‘Does Gratitude Really Work?’ We hear a lot about gratitude these days. Catchy slogans like “Attitude of Gratitude” are plastered over mugs, tea towels and t-shirts the world over. But is there real science behind it and, if so,  just what is the correct way to practice it so that we see real tangible benefits? Well, one incredible lady who can truly vouch for its effectiveness is this week’s special guest. I am so happy to bring you this wonderful conversation with an amazing lady at the top of her game!  Angela Scanlon has recently taken over from Graham Norton at Virgin Radio in the UK presenting her own weekend show, has been a regular face on RTÉ, BBC and Channel 4 TV over the last ten years, appearing in shows like BBC's One Show, Robot Wars, Your Home Made Perfect and Strictly Come Dancing. Heavily involved in fashion from an early age, she has fronted campaigns for the likes of Louis Vuitton and has written a bestselling book Joyrider - How Gratitude Can Get You the Life You Really Want. And it’s that gratitude we want to zone in on in this episode. Angela speaks to me from her UK home and talks about how insecurity and imposter syndrome had her struggling badly at a time when everyone thought she was living the perfect life. Learn how her finding gratitude shaped how she perceives the world and how her new star role on radio has come just at the right time. But what about the all-important science of gratitude? Well, we have an incredible scientific heavy-hitter to unpack the science stuff and get you set up for real, tangible brain-boosting benefits! Joining me to uncover and explain the fascinating neuroscience of gratitude is medical doctor, psychologist, behavioral neuroscientist and neurotechnology expert Dr. Michael Keane! Nobody knows the brain like Michael and his easy going and accessible approach will be just what you need to unlock the true power of a grateful mindset. What an episode to end the series on! Thank you all SO much for listening! Stay tuned for Season 2 coming real soon and watch out for lots of fun stuff coming over the next weeks and months too! Hosted on Acast.
