Exploring the Silent Power of Meditation
Now, 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.
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.

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!
