Mindful By Michael Mindful By Michael

Welcome to the second episode of Mindful by Michael! I was delighted to be joined by Pedro Angulo, Head of Leadership Development at AIB. He is a people-focused leader with whom I really wanted to discuss organizational wellness, to understand how companies were acting in the best interests of their people. The conversation gives a fascinating insight into how the pandemic has affected employee’s mental wellbeing. We spent a lot of time discussing increasingly popular employee wellness initiatives, workplace mental health, and how organizations are and should continue to focus on the wellbeing of their people.

Our conversation gave me hope and a bright outlook for the future of workplace wellbeing and mental health.

Welcome to the Mindful By Michael interview series!

This series is for all of us who find mindfulness and wellbeing to be a little bit confusing, or maybe even unclear!

Each short interview is the perfect bite-sized content in which I’ll be asking mental health and wellbeing experts for their views on mindfulness and other topical wellbeing issues. We’ll even get to answer some of your submitted questions via my Instagram channel!

I hope you enjoy!

Welcome to the first interview of the Mindful by Michael Series!

For this chat, I was joined by Mary Pearson, a professional psychotherapist practising out of Co. Kildare in Ireland. Mary is a member of the Irish Association of Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy, specializing in many forms of counselling and therapy.

Our chat was centred around how people perceive mindfulness in everyday life, how mindfulness isn’t a complicated and time-consuming process, and how it can help each of us step back from the brink of future-focus and anxiety.

I really enjoyed my conversation with Mary, I hope you will too!
