Hey there, folks! These weeks are flying by, aren’t they?! Anyway, let me ask you, are you in need of some inspiration; to unlock the power of creativity? I sure hope so because this week on The Mind Full Podcast, we’re diving headfirst into the wonderful world of imagination, inspiration, and innovation!
One of the main reasons our heads can be so wrecked is that we take ourselves so seriously these days! If we can make a little bit more time to be creative, whatever form that takes, we can unlock our wellbeing, lower our stress and boost our happiness.
Meet This Week’s Guests: Doireann Garrihy and Allison Keating
First up, we have the fabulous Doireann Garrihy, a woman who takes not being serious very seriously! You might know her as the multi-talented comedian, presenter, and social media sensation who wakes up the nation up at the crack of dawn with her sketches and on-air banter on 2fm. She celebrates laughter on her award-winning podcasts The Laughs of Your Life and Doireann and Friends, pokes fun at the famous with her hilarious impressions on her social channels, and outshines the stars on RTE TV’s Dancing with the Stars. I sat down with Doireann to talk about how true love can nurture true creativity, how family can keep that creative fire lit and how her fiancée’s addiction reminds her of the things that matter.

This week, I sit down with a woman who is enjoying the most beautiful phase of success and fulfillment. Deirdre O’Kane is packing out comedy theaters across the country, has lit up your TV screens across the UK and Ireland in shows like Last One Laughing, Paths to Freedom, Moone Boy, Gogglebox and Dancing with the Stars and she joined me this week to discuss Paths to Wisdom.
As an actor, Deirdre scooped an IFTA for her performance in the powerful film Noble and is the driving force behind Comic Relief Ireland. The beautiful thing about this podcast is that we often get to go places with our guests that maybe they rarely get a chance to explore and this episode is definitely one of those occasions. It’s a fascinating, warm and really inspiring discussion and I can’t wait for you to hear it.
It’s fair to say, we see a side to Deirdre you don’t often see in this conversation as she takes us on a journey through dealing with the life-threatening illness of her husband, the gift of performance, finding a new confidence and energy after raising children and the spiritual tools she has used to bring the colour out in everything she does.
If you wanna catch Deirdre on stage you’re in luck! Her new comedy tour “O’Kaning it” has just kicked off so go book your tickets, they’re going fast!
