The Mind Full Podcast Season Finale: Does Gratitude Really Work?
Ready for this week’s episode? Great! Because we explore a very important topic: the power of gratitude. We hear a lot about gratitude these days. Catchy slogans like “Attitude of Gratitude” are plastered over mugs, tea towels and t-shirts. 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?
Join us as we dive into this fascinating topic with two special guests.
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.
With a new topic of focus each week in discussion with an exciting array of guests ranging from Hollywood stars, musicians and broadcasters to expert technical contributors from the world of science, listeners will get the best information to help them make positive changes in their lives and create that mental space to live their days with more joy.
As a certified meditation teacher, Dermot also presents his own expertise through weekly guided meditations and answering callers’ questions.
It’s serious transformation, without being too serious!

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.

Angela Scanlon and The Power of Gratitude
I am so happy to bring you this amazing conversation with an amazing lady at the top of her game! From recently taking over from Graham Norton at Virgin Radio UK, to her bestselling book, Joyrider, Angela Scanlon joins me to discuss her journey and share her insights on finding gratitude in life’s ups and downs.
With her dynamic appearances on RTE, BBC, and Channel 4 TV, Angela’s journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. She’s graced our screens in shows like BBC’s One Show, where her infectious charm and wit captivated audiences worldwide. As a former presenter of Robot Wars and Your Home Made Perfect, Angela’s versatility knows no bounds.
But beyond the glitz and glamour of television, Angela’s story is one of resilience and self-discovery. Her authenticity shines through as she opens up about her struggles with insecurity and imposter syndrome, despite outward appearances suggesting a life of perfection.
Through it all, she discovered the transformative power of gratitude, reshaping her perspective and paving the way for newfound joy and fulfilment.
Unpacking the Science of Gratitude with Dr. Michael Keane
But what about the all-important science of gratitude? Well, in our quest to unravel the mysteries of gratitude, we turn to the expertise of Dr. Michael Keane, a distinguished medical doctor, psychologist, behavioural neuroscientist, and neurotechnology expert. With a wealth of knowledge in brain science and human behavior, Dr. Keane offers invaluable insights into the neuroscience behind gratitude.
Dr. Keane sheds light on the profound impact of gratitude on the brain. He delves into the intricate mechanisms that underpin gratitude, explaining how practising gratitude can reshape neural pathways and promote overall well-being.
Through his accessible and engaging approach, you will gain a deeper understanding of how gratitude rewires the brain, leading to tangible benefits such as improved mental health, enhanced resilience, and greater emotional balance.
