Change is one of life’s few certainties and one of life’s guarantees. But let’s face it, most of us don’t love it. Whether it’s a career shift, a big move, or an unexpected challenge, navigating change can feel overwhelming.
In this week’s episode of The Mind Full Podcast (the second last episode of the season I should add!) I’m joined by two incredible guests who know a thing or two about facing life’s curveballs head-on.
First, the legendary Ryan Tubridy, a man who has graced Irish airwaves for over two decades, opens up about his recent journey of transition. From stepping away from RTE to starting fresh in the UK with Virgin Radio, Ryan’s story is an inspiring testament to resilience and reinvention.
And because change often comes with financial questions, I’m also chatting with financial advisor Dave Quinn. Dave’s practical advice helped me take a leap of faith when making my big career move, and he’s here to share his wisdom on making life’s biggest transitions a little less daunting.
The Mind Full Podcast is the latest offering in Dermot Whelan’s highly successful Mind Full adventure. The Mind Full Podcast is a home for people whose minds are…well, full! Dermot explores the topics that can help us to calm a frantic mind, understand our behaviour and explore our own potential.

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.

Ryan Tubridy on Navigating Uncertainty and Starting Fresh
For over 20 years, Ryan Tubridy has been a household name in Ireland. As the host of The Late Late Show for 14 years, and as a beloved radio presenter, Ryan became a trusted voice in Irish broadcasting. But in 2023, Ryan found himself at a crossroads, stepping away from RTE and facing a brand-new chapter in his career.
In this episode, Ryan reflects on the whirlwind of emotions that came with leaving a long-time role, moving to a new country, and starting fresh with Virgin Radio UK. From lonely days in London to rethinking priorities, Ryan shares how change, though uncomfortable, helped him rediscover what truly matters.
Whether you know Ryan from his iconic Toy Show moments or you’re just learning about him now, his journey is a reminder that even the biggest changes can lead to incredible new beginnings.
Dave Quinn on Facing Big Changes Without Fear
Change and finances often go hand in hand, and for many of us, that combination is enough to make us break out in a sweat. That’s where Dave Quinn comes in.
As the Managing Director of Investwise Financial Planning, Dave is an expert in helping people navigate financial decisions during life’s big transitions. When I was contemplating leaving my steady radio job, Dave was the person I turned to, and to my surprise, his advice wasn’t just practical, it was empowering.
In this episode, Dave shares tips for making confident financial decisions, especially during times of uncertainty. Whether you’re planning a career change, a move, or a major life adjustment, Dave’s insights are refreshingly straightforward and designed to help you focus on what truly matters.
Why This Episode is a Must-Listen
Life throws curveballs at all of us, whether we’re ready or not. This episode isn’t just about handling change, it’s about embracing it. Ryan Tubridy’s story of reinvention and Dave Quinn’s financial wisdom come together to offer inspiration and practical advice for anyone navigating life’s twists and turns.

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.
