This week on The Mind Full Podcast, I’m delighted to bring you two incredible guests.
First up is Cork man Cian Twomey who, for the last 12 years, has been a comedy content creator, focusing mainly on character sketches depicting hilarious real-life scenarios. His work has earned him recognition as one of social media’s content pioneers, with a following that reflects his hard work and popularity. Across all social platforms, Cian has gathered over 9 million followers, with his videos exceeding a total of 4 billion views. That is mind-boggling!
Despite his enormous audience, Cian does not do many interviews. This is only his second-ever long-form interview and the very first time he has spoken in depth about his recent ADHD diagnosis.
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 in the form of one of social media’s content pioneers. For the last 12 years, Cork man Cian Twomey has been a comedy content creator, focusing mainly on character sketches depicting hilarious real-life scenarios. Over all social media platforms, Cian has gathered over 9 million followers, with his videos exceeding a total of 4 billion views. That is mind boggling! Despite his enormous audience, Cian does not do many interviews. This is only his second ever long form interview and the very first time he has spoken in depth about his recent ADHD diagnosis.
The Strengths of Neurodiversity is our topic for today and I’m also delighted to be joined by clinical psychologist and star of TV’s Operation Transformation Dr. Eddie Murphy. Eddie has such a great mind and a great way of making complex concepts accessible and we’re going to do our best to make the area of neurodivergence including the likes of ADHD as understandable as possible.
If ADHD or neurodivergence is something that you or a loved one are navigating at present and you’re curious about what it means, how it’s experienced, the road to diagnosis and what the benefits and strengths of neurodivergence are then this is the place to be.

Understanding Neurodiversity
Since the Strengths of Neurodiversity is our topic for this week, it’s only right that I welcome back to the show, clinical psychologist and star of TV’s Operation Transformation, Dr. Eddie Murphy. Eddie has a great mind and a wonderful ability to make complex concepts accessible, and we aim to make the area of neurodivergence, including ADHD, as understandable as possible. If ADHD or neurodivergence is something that you or a loved one are navigating currently, and you’re curious about what it means, how it’s experienced, the road to diagnosis, and what the benefits and strengths of neurodivergence are, then this is the episode for you.
Key Questions Explored
In this episode, we’ll tackle several important questions:
- What is ADHD?
- How does it feel for the person with ADHD?
- What are the other common types of neurodiversity?
- What are the common misconceptions?
- What is the best way to get a diagnosis?
- Do we actually need a diagnosis?
- What are the strengths of neurodiversity?
Why This Topic Matters
The areas of ADHD and neurodiversity are being talked about more frequently these days. We’ve received numerous requests from listeners to cover this topic, and I’m really pleased about that because it’s an area I wanted to be educated on myself. I approach this episode very much as a listener, just like you, a parent who wants to understand how to navigate this space as my children get older. Most of all, I want it to make sense for everyone.
I truly believe this episode will be powerful for those who suspect they are not neurotypical, have a child displaying signs, or know someone who has had a diagnosis and is seeking clarity.
So, let’s get stuck into this week’s insightful episode, where we break down the myths and celebrate the strengths of neurodiversity. You won’t want to miss this enlightening discussion!

Welcome to a very special pop-up episode of the Mind Full Podcast with special guest and music sensation Tom Grennan!
Tom is a phenomenal singer songwriter from the UK with proud Irish roots – and he has a brand new single out right now which he is dying to tell you all about.
His breakthrough UK #1 and BRIT-certified GOLD album ‘Evering Road’ included platinum-selling anthems ‘Little Bit Of Love’ and ‘By Your Side’ — both of which scored in the Top Three most played songs of 2021. Tom already counts four UK Top 10 singles to his name. And a hat-trick of his 2022 songs, ‘Remind Me’, ‘Not Over Yet’ with KSI and ‘Lionheart (Fearless)’ with Joel Corry, were all named in The Biggest Songs of 2022 by The Official Big Top 40.
After the incredible success of his 2023 album ‘What Ifs and Maybes’, he is back with a brand new single, ‘Shadowboxing’, out right now, a brand new album “Everywhere I went Led Me to Where I didn’t Want to Be” due for release next August and he has just announced his biggest ever UK and Ireland Arena Tour Grennan 25 which includes a Dublin date at the 3 Arena on Sep 13th.
In this fascinating conversation, Tom speaks about his creative process, self-care and much, much more.
Season Three of The Mind Full Podcast kicks off on Monday 24th March so make sure you’re subscribed to be notified of every episode. In the meantime, if you’re new to the series, why not take the time to go back and catch up and the wonderful interviews that you may have missed!
