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.
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 is all about mental toughness – without having to jump out of a helicopter or survive in the jungle! Ray Goggins is a Former Army Ranger & Tier 1 Special Operations unit leader. Ray is as tough as they come and is also known from hit TV show Ultimate Hell Week on RTÉ where he has regularly made regular Joe Soaps and some celebs regret ever going on the show. He is author of the best-selling and fascinating book Ranger 22 – Lessons from the Front. From the hills of south Lebanon to the monsoon jungles of Southern Asia, Ray has operated in a life-and-death world. In Liberia, Afghanistan and the snow-covered Balkans, Ray has seen conflict zones, terrorist attacks and hostage rescues, and has learned the greatest life lessons: how to control fear, how to react calmly and positively, and what mental toughness is really all about.
I also want to introduce you to a man who has dedicated his career to understanding what makes people mentally tough, what mental toughness actually is, the common misconceptions and if it’s something we’re born with or something we learn through living. Dr. John Perry is co-author of the fascinating book Developing Mental Toughness and found his way from the UK to the University of Limerick where he conducts world-leading research on the topic. As a sports and high-performance psychologist he works with elite athletes, educators and business people to help them uncover the secrets of achieving true success without getting in their own way.
