Well hello there, good to see you here on The Mind Full Podcast blog where I’m ready to bring you another transformative journey!
Strap in, because this week, it’s all about the power of self-awareness with none other than Ryan Hennessy, frontman for Irish music sensation Picture This.
I’m aware there may be no introduction needed, but let’s take a moment for Picture This’ success to date. With two number-one albums and over 450 million total streams, the four-piece continues to sell out stadiums including a five-night stand at Dublin’s 3Arena! They’ve headlined Electric Picnic’s Main Stage twice and sold out their European tour in 20 minutes. And, good news for fans, they also have a brand new album launching on April 26 called Parked Car Conversations.
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!

Self-awareness is power. It has the power to change things that we think are written in stone. It can shine a light on our behaviour and remove the self-judgement that holds us back, which stops us from appreciating and enjoying all that life has to offer.
The great news is – it’s not hard to find! Sometimes one conscious breath can be enough to tune us in to ourselves and snap out of the busyness inside our heads.
This week’s guest, Ryan Hennessy, is the front man for Irish music sensation Picture This. They have had two number one albums, have gained over 450 million total streams and are selling out stadiums including a five-night stand at Dublin’s 3Arena, with more to come later this year. They’ve also headlined Electric Picnic’s Main Stage twice and sold out their European tour in 20 minutes. They have a brand new album launching April 26 called Parked Car Conversations. Ryan has also produced a book of poetry called Syncopated Blue and is one of the most interesting, humble and authentic fellas I’ve ever met.
In this discussion we explore things like:
What is self-awareness?
What happens if we’re not self-aware?
How can it help us deal with criticism?
Can self-awareness help us stop beating ourselves up?
What exercises can I do to feel a bit more excited by life?
I’ll also share with you my experience of gaining self-awareness through meditation and guide you through some simple steps to cultivate it in your life.
We’ve also got a special longer guided meditation to get you started on the path to feeling more tuned in and up for the craic!

Lead man Ryan has also produced a book of poetry called Syncopated Blue and is one of the most interesting, humble and authentic fellas I’ve ever met. In this discussion, we explore things like:
- What is self-awareness?
- What happens if we’re not self-aware?
- How can it help us deal with criticism?
- Can self-awareness help us stop beating ourselves up?
- What exercises can I do to feel a bit more excited by life?
So, What is Self-Awareness?
Self-awareness isn’t just some buzzword; it’s a superpower. It truly has the power to change things that we think are written in stone. It’s the key to unlocking the door and understanding ourselves better, especially when navigating life with clarity and purpose. It can shine a light on our behaviour and remove the self-judgement that holds us back and stops us from appreciating and enjoying all that life has to offer.
The great news is – it’s not hard to find! Sometimes one conscious breath can be enough to tune us into ourselves and snap out of the busyness of the world and that predictable thinking and behaviour that has us feeling meh, bleh and possibly yuck!
Break Free from the Comfort Zone & Embrace Change
From feeling stuck in a rut to handling unwanted opinions and criticism, on this episode of The Mind Full Podcast, Ryan shares how self-awareness can shake us out of our comfort zones and empower us to embrace change fearlessly. How a simple shift in perspective can turn our perceived limitations into boundless opportunities and welcomed life lessons.
Letting Self-Compassion Lead the Way
Onto the internal, we’re all guilty of being a bit too hard on ourselves sometimes. Ryan also spills the beans on how self-awareness helps us dial down self-criticism, turn up self-love; to give more time to our inner kid and say yes to new adventures.
An Extra Long Meditation This Monday
We’ve also got a special longer guided meditation to get you started (or back) on the path to feeling more tuned in and up for the craic, I’ll share with you my experience of gaining self-awareness through meditation and guide you through some simple steps to cultivate it in your life.
So, same time, same place on Monday? Great!

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.
