This week, The Mind Full Podcast is thrilled to host a truly extraordinary guest, Glen Power, the heartbeat behind the worldwide phenomenon, The Script. Glen’s not just a world-class drummer in a band that boasts 10 billion streams, 12 million album sales, and six UK number-ones. He’s also an insightful thinker, a spiritual teacher, and one genuinely lovely fella.
We were lucky enough to catch him mid-tour, and despite the madness of the stadium shows, Glen took time to sit down and share his profound thoughts on life, healing, and the challenges that come with both. The conversation covers everything from coping with the devastating loss of his friend and bandmate Mark Sheehan last year to embracing alcohol-free living, finding moments of calm in a chaotic world, and not losing sight of what truly matters.
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 on The Mind Full Podcast we are so excited to bring you an incredible guest – Glen Power from worldwide powerhouse band The Script. Glen has an incredible mind, is such a lovely fella and as well as being part of a band that has seen 10 billion streams, 12 million album sales and 6 UK no.1s, he is also a profound thinker, an exceptionally wise teacher and has taken time out from a US stadium tour to chat to us all.
We look at the impact of losing his best friend and bandmate Mark Sheehan tragically last year, alcohol free living, touring with Pink, finding space in the busyness and not losing sight of what’s really important – Plus all his favourite techniques for dealing with a full mind including his own invention of un-peopling!
This interview comes as The Script release their latest studio album Satellites which is just brilliant, particularly the opening track Both Ways – an absolute belter! I’m so glad you can join us for that this week.
No need for a tech expert this week as Glen is a beautiful teacher himself, he even is a trained Reiki practitioner! If you’ve ever lost someone close to you, or have found yourself all at sea in your own life, there are so many wonderful takeaways from this very special episode.

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.
