This week on the Mind Full Podcast, I’m joined by the man who lit a fire in my belly, not with a curry, but with his voice, his message, and perfect timing.

You know that feeling when something just clicks? That was me the first time I heard davidji. I’d been circling the mindfulness space for years, searching for something deeper but most of it felt like it wasn’t meant for someone like me. Then one stressed-out night, flicking through internet radio, I stumbled on a voice that felt like a warm blanket. He was wise, hilarious, and somehow made the esoteric feel accessible. That voice belonged to davidji.

Today, davidji is not only a bestselling author as well as a teacher to Navy SEALs and CEOs, he’s a great friend of mine. This week, we dive into purpose - what it means, how to find it, and why it's never too late to redefine who we are.

This week on The Mind Full Podcast, I sit down with the soul-sparking duo that is Miriam and Gerry Hussey - the couple who somehow manage to leave you feeling both totally inspired and weirdly unfit!

But, don’t be fooled by their calm glow, they’ve walked through burnout, anxiety, panic attacks, and the chaos of modern life just like many of us. We chat about leaving the tick-box life behind, why your soul needs breathing space, and how to manage your inner madness without having to drink celery juice or move to the jungle.

Miriam’s powerful new book Light Up has just been released, and Gerry continues to help thousands through his own bestselling books and life-changing work. They’re Founders of Soul Space, champions of inner transformation, and best of all, they’re really nice down-to-earth people. This episode is full of heart, humour, and practical wisdom. You're going to love it.

Today’s guest is a man many of us have quietly adopted as Ireland’s national therapist - Dr David Coleman. With over 20 years’ experience as a Clinical Psychologist working with children, teens and families, David joins me to chat about all things anxiety: why it’s on the rise, how to help our kids cope, and how not to panic when they panic.

We cover everything from tantrums to tech, praise to panic attacks, and why self-regulation is a skill we can all learn. Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or just trying to keep your own head straight, this episode is packed with gold. David is warm, wise, wonderfully relatable and he’ll leave you feeling reassured, not judged.

You can get tickets for Dr David Coleman’s talk ‘Helping Children and Teenagers Cope With Anxiety’ (which is followed by a live Q&A) at The Lark Concert Hall in Balbriggan, Dublin on Thur 23rd Oct 2025 at the link below:
