    Pat Divilly - The Pursuit of a Fit Mind

    This episode is actually the first time that I have a guest returning who has been on the podcast previously - & that guest is Mr Pat Divilly! Pat joined me for an episode about journaling & meditation in season one which we recorded via zoom during lockdown, so it was absolutely deadly to get into the studio to chat in person this time. Pat has worked in the health & wellness space for the duration of his adult life starting out in the fitness industry before moving into the areas of mental, emotional & spiritual wellness. He now hosts his own podcast the Pat Divilly podcast & is the author of the several books including his most recent bestseller 'Fit Mind', & also delivers workshops, breathwork sessions & retreats designed to support emotional healing, connection & authentic living. We chatted about: - being absolute introverts - the innate human need for connection & community - the struggle of balancing all the spinning plates in the BUSY & demanding lives we all live today - what we think the biggest problems with our society is right now, & ways to overcome these problems… As well as touching on self-belief, what success means to us, & our biggest takeaways from this life so far. And I can’t wait to share it with you… Ps: PLEASE MAKE SURE TO SHARE & TAG ON YOUR SOCIALS IF YOU LISTEN!! Your support is always SO appreciated!

    Aoife Quinn - “IT’S NOT THAT DEEP” - Ducks, Identity, Self Perception, Social Media, & Living in the Moment

    Aoife Quinn is a working artist hell bent on trying to carve out useful ways we can navigate life with a positive mindset. "LSAD Duck Tales" is a social experiment addressing her generation's obsession with trying to appear unique. At a DNA level we are 99.9% the same. Through creating a generation of influencers, social media has enabled ordinary people attain celebrity status, creating a climate of unrealistic expectations for many. Ordinary people now believe they need to become someone. Instagram has become a platform where we scrutinize others, but also ourselves. Is being oneself with innate subtle differences no longer enough? Aoife created a series of 100 porcelain ducks, which have been distributed to people who have influenced her life. Initially identical, their diverse experiences are documented on a dedicated Instagram account. Through observing their encounters, how and if their exterior changes, Aoife is questioning if it is our life experiences rather than our personas that make us unique. @LSADucktales provides an opportunity to organically explore and celebrate our day to day lives, finding appreciation in the ordinary. We discussed how the Ducks came about, my own journey with Duck no70, Instagram & social media, identity, self-perception & LIFE. "It’s not that deep" … but this conversation got pretty deep. And I can’t wait to share it with you… Ps: PLEASE MAKE SURE TO SHARE & TAG ON YOUR SOCIALS IF YOU LISTEN!! Your support is always SO appreciated!

    Conor Creighton - The Truth About Love, Shame, and how to be Happier.

    Conor Creighton is a meditation teacher, a spiritual guide, & author…but in his own words “hasn't always been so chill” Before he learned to meditate he worked as bartender, & a reporter for the Guardian & for Vice Magazine covering warzones, drug culture & the rise of the far-right. Meditation found HIM in 2012, & he quickly became immersed in the study of meditation, training in India with the Dalai Lama, & at the Redwood Institute in San Francisco. He describes his teaching as “a cross-pollination of ancient techniques and contemporary wisdom, and just a bit of street smarts” and says “I’ve experienced a good dose of depression, addiction and holy f**k moments in my life” Conor's latest book “The Truth About Love” - is in my opinion a truly beautiful & IMPORTANT piece of work. His down to earth manner & natural story-telling abilities are what drew me to Conor & his work initially, & I am so grateful to have been able to have this conversation with him, We spoke about Love, Shame, Acceptance, Negativity bias, talking to ourselves like mad eejits & how we can truly & honestly learn to LOVE OURSELVES... real-deal holy-feel true and honest LOVE… because Love, as Conor himself will tell you - is an inside job. And I can’t wait to share it with you… P.S: PLEASE MAKE SURE TO SHARE & TAG ON YOUR SOCIALS IF YOU LISTEN!!

    Welcome to another episode of the Powered by Positivity Podcast, with me, your host, Laura Murray. I am delighted to be joined by my peer Aaron Horan for this episode!! YOUR ENVIRONMENT & COMMUNITY is one of the most important and least spoken about pillars of your HEALTH. It’s one of the biggest factors influencing your mindset & your self belief, therefore having influence over your growth, your progress & whether or not you actually achieve your goals … Your mindset is internal, however there are so many external factors that condition or influence your mindset - some of which you may not even be currently aware of. In this episode Aaron & I shared our own experiences & spoke about the importance of community & environment, which is your external influence, & how YOU can take control of this. Shaping your environment around you is most definitely not easy, but is actually one of the most important & POWERFUL variables in managing your health & happiness. It’s also potentially an area of your life that you haven’t even considered that you could improve or make massive positive change within - YET. Aaron & I discuss WHY this is so important, and HOW to make change, & influence these variables in a way that will directly impact your health, fitness, overall quality of life, & have a knock-on effect on every other avenue of your life.
