Let’s dive into the heart of this week’s episode – the silent power of meditation. Meditation isn’t just for yogis and gurus; it’s for everyone looking to find calm in the chaos of everyday life. In this episode, I’ll be taking you through the basics of meditation, exploring who it’s for, what it does, and the fascinating science behind why it works.
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!

Get ready to discover how meditation can reshape your brain and transform your life. And all that before we even meet our fabulous guest!
Meet Our Special Guest, Davidji
Picture this: over a decade ago, I’m minding my own business, sipping on a cuppa when suddenly, I hear this silky voice drifting through my speakers. It’s like smooth jazz for the mind, except instead of saxophones, this guy from California is dishing out wisdom nuggets about consciousness, ancient secrets, and the power of meditation. And would you believe it? He’s actually funny!
I’m sitting there, learning about my behaviour while having a good auld laugh! Naturally, I wanted more! Fast forward to today, and here we are, folks. I’ve not only soaked up his teachings like a sponge, but I’ve also gone all the way to the US to train with him and become a teacher myself!
And now, let’s give a warm virtual welcome to our special guest, Davidji! (Yes, just like Madonna, Prince, and… *clears throat* Bosco. One name is all you need in the world of mindful wisdom!)
Davidji is not your average Joe; he’s a jack-of-all-trades in the world of Mindbody health & wellness. From being a mindful performance trainer to a celebrated meditation teacher, this guy wears more hats than a hat shop on a windy day. He’s even a certified Vedic Master, whatever that entails! And if that wasn’t impressive enough, he’s also penned some page-turners like “Sacred Powers,” “Destressiffying” (an Amazon bestseller, no less!), and “Secrets of Meditation,” winner of the Nautilus Book Award.
So, buckle up, folks, because we’re about to take off on a journey of enlightenment with the one and only Davidji!
Real Change with Davidji’s Guided Meditation
Davidji counts singer Ariana Grande amongst his students and many other celebs which he’s too humble to tell me about. His guided meditations reach millions of people every day and his incredible work sees him in high demand with everyone from the world’s top CEOs to Navy Seals. This is one of the many reasons why you need to tune into this episode, where Davidji shares his incredible journey and offers a special guest-guided meditation just for you.
So stick the kettle on and get ready to hear an amazing story of transformation and growth that all began with a life-changing encounter with a homeless man in Manhattan.
Dive Deeper with the Harvard Study
Don’t forget to check out the Harvard study I mentioned in the episode, which highlights how meditation can literally change the shape of your brain. Link to the study here.

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.
