Monday, Monday, so good to me…..
Hello mindfull-ers….This week, we’re strapping on our runners and hitting the ground running as we sprint into the world of Motivation, Discipline, and Fitness. And let me tell you, it’s going to be a workout for the mind, body and soul!
Can I ask, is there anything in your life right now that you wanted to see happen but it hasn’t quite worked out that way? Is there a work goal, a relationship goal, a financial goal or something in your life that you had hoped would unfold but it didn’t – or certainly not the way you’d imagined?
Don’t worry the purpose of this episode is absolutely not to make you feel bad or useless or give you another stick to beat yourself over the head with! Quite the opposite. This episode is about showing you, without judgment, the reasons why maybe you didn’t see that goal materialise. And most importantly it is about giving you the techniques and understanding so that next time you see something in your life you’d like to reach for, it just may happen!
Together, we’ll look at why discipline is so important. While some people think it’s about locking yourself in a room and never seeing the light of day again, I like to think of it as the superhero cape that gives you the power to conquer your goals and kick butt in life. Because it lays the foundation for everything we want to achieve in life; the driving force behind our actions, the fuel that keeps us moving forward, even when the going gets tough. And when we combine discipline with motivation and fitness, we create a powerful recipe for success.

**Firstly, I have more big news about The Mind Full Podcast Live! If you missed out on getting tickets for our live show at the Sugar Club June 14th then stay tuned to the end of this episode because we have some major news that could have you smiling like a maniac!**
Is there anything in your life right now that you wanted to see happen but it hasn’t quite worked out that way? Is there a work goal, a relationship goal, a financial goal or something in your life that you had hoped would unfold but it didn’t – or certainly not the way you’d imagined?
This episode is about showing you, without judgment, the reasons why maybe you didn’t see that goal materialize. This week, I’m joined by a man who has made discipline and determination his career. Greg O’Shea is an Olympian, has also represented his country in athletics and in 2019 he won Love Island UK. After the show, he found himself struggling mentally as he turned away from fame and found himself facing retirement from the sport he had dedicated his life to. Now an iron man competitor, instructor and healthy living entrepreneur with his fitness training app ‘Bettr with Greg O’Shea’ and a successful TV presenter, Greg shares his insights about the true life-changing power of exercise and how your own path is the only one worth following.
To also help us find that sweet spot between motivation and high-fiving our successes is my incredible technical guest this week, multi award-winning brainhacker and mental illusionist Keith Barry. Keith’s incredible skills and psychological understanding of how we behave has earned him some serious accolades. He has Featured on over 40 international TV shows and networks including many times on The Ellen Show, The Jimmy Kimmel Show, MTV, Discovery Channel, CBS and many others – including his own TV Special ‘The Keith Barry Experience’ here in Ireland. Keith was the Consultant on 2 Hollywood Blockbusters and his all-time Top 25 Ted Talk has amassed over 25 million views on the Ted website alone.
As always, we also have our weekly guided meditation and I read out some listener correspondence. So sit back, relax and enjoy!

From Love Island Winner to Fitness Guru:
Joining me for this week’s topic are two remarkable guests who know a thing or two about achieving greatness. First up, fellow Limerick man and all-round inspiration, Greg O’Shea. You might know him as the Olympic athlete, Rugby Star, and the winner of Love Island UK. But did you know that behind those chiselled abs lies a story of discipline, dedication, and determination?
Greg spills the beans on how exercise can transform your life in ways you never expected, sharing some truths that might just make you spit out your protein shake!
Unravel The Mysteries of Motivation and Discipline
And if that wasn’t enough to get your heart racing, I’m also joined by the one and only Keith Barry. Keith is an international brain hacker who has blown thousands of minds over the years and worked with some of the biggest stars in the world. Together, we’ll unpack the secrets of motivation and discipline, and how mastering your mind can lead to limitless possibilities.
But hey, in all this talk of discipline and motivation, let’s stick to our guns here and remember not take ourselves too seriously. Life’s too short for that! It really is okay to stumble, to fall, and to laugh at yourself along the way. After all, the most important thing is to keep moving forward, one step at a time.
Extra Date Added for The Mind Full Podcast Live Show!
Let’s wrap this up with even more exciting news, due to popular demand, we’ve added a second ‘Extra Date’ for The Mind Full Podcast Live show at The Sugar Club. Tune in to find out how to get your tickets for our second date!!

What?? Our last episode of the season?? I can’t believe we’ve reached episode 12 already! I have had so much fun making this podcast and sharing it all with you. I’ve learned tonnes and hope you have too. Before I tell you about our fabulous guests this week, I have to let you in on my latest and greatest news!

Tickets go on sale from Friday 24th May so check out www.dermotwhelan.com for all the details and I can’t wait to get back out on the road and meet you all. The show will be a mix of comedy, craic, meditation & inspiration and hopefully an evening where you can relax, have a laugh and pick up some useful and fun tools too. If you’ve been feeling wound up, worn down, snowed under or bowled over this is the show for you so grab your stressed-out besties and your bedraggled partners, and join me as I travel all over Ireland and beyond and we’ll un-wreck our heads and destress our lives together. Incidentally, I love to see teenagers at my shows too – you just have to be over 14.

Back to The Mind Full Podcast and in this brand-new episode we ask the question ‘Does Gratitude Really Work?’
We hear a lot about gratitude these days. Catchy slogans like “Attitude of Gratitude” are plastered over mugs, tea towels and t-shirts the world over. But is there real science behind it and, if so, just what is the correct way to practice it so that we see real tangible benefits? Well, one incredible lady who can truly vouch for its effectiveness is this week’s special guest. I am so happy to bring you this wonderful conversation with an amazing lady at the top of her game!
Angela Scanlon has recently taken over from Graham Norton at Virgin Radio in the UK presenting her own weekend show, has been a regular face on RTÉ, BBC and Channel 4 TV over the last ten years, appearing in shows like BBC’s One Show, Robot Wars, Your Home Made Perfect and Strictly Come Dancing.
Heavily involved in fashion from an early age, she has fronted campaigns for the likes of Louis Vuitton and has written a bestselling book Joyrider – How Gratitude Can Get You the Life You Really Want. And it’s that gratitude we want to zone in on in this episode. Angela speaks to me from her UK home and talks about how insecurity and imposter syndrome had her struggling badly at a time when everyone thought she was living the perfect life. Learn how her finding gratitude shaped how she perceives the world and how her new star role on radio has come just at the right time.
But what about the all-important science of gratitude? Well, we have an incredible scientific heavy-hitter to unpack the science stuff and get you set up for real, tangible brain-boosting benefits! Joining me to uncover and explain the fascinating neuroscience of gratitude is medical doctor, psychologist, behavioral neuroscientist and neurotechnology expert Dr. Michael Keane! Nobody knows the brain like Michael and his easy going and accessible approach will be just what you need to unlock the true power of a grateful mindset. What an episode to end the series on!
Thank you all SO much for listening! Stay tuned for Season 2 coming real soon and watch out for lots of fun stuff coming over the next weeks and months too!
