Have you ever had a dream, vision or goal that you weren't sure was possible? Did you ever have a burning desire to do something in your life but that nagging voice in your head stopped you? My guest this week is the powerhouse that is Tammy Darcy, founder of Shona.ie a Not for Profit organisation that helps women & young girls learn to love themselves and shine in their teenage years and beyond.
Behind the scenes Shona.ie holds a very special meaning as it's named after Tammy sister Shona who was diagnosed with a life changing brain injury in her teens.
Do you constantly worry about the what-if's? Do you find yourself constantly thinking about the worst case scenario and could get a medal for your ability to catastrophize?
Don't worry, you are absolutely not on your own. What if thinking of Catastrophizing is one of the most common negative thinking traps that people fall into.
In this episode I discuss why it happens and most importantly what you can do if you find yourself falling into a what if worry cycle.
One of the best tools you have at your disposal everyday is your ability to appreciate and be grateful for the simple pleasures in your life. A roof over your head, food on your plate, people who love you in your life. Even in the darkest of times I believe it is possible to find something to be grateful for. My guest this week tragically lost his brother a number of years ago and credits mindfulness and appreciating the little things with getting him through such a bleak time. He explains how and the concept of 100 Happy moments & how it could help you.
Let's face it we're all living through one of the most stressful periods in modern day history. We're experiencing stress on another level, a level which if not managed could potentially do harm to our current, overall and future wellbeing. My guest this week is Clinical Psychologist Dr. Clare Kambamettu who gives her recommendations and advice on managing your stress levels right now and explains how to break the habit of stress.

Just how many challenges can you overcome in your life? How much resilience do you need? As human beings we will all face challenges in our lives to a varying degree which is why building our resilience and realising how strong we are will stand to us in the long run. Sharon Fitzmaurice has overcome immense challenges in her life from experiencing childhood sexual abuse to losing her precious baby daughter Annie. At one point she contemplated taking her own life however Sharon discovered & developed the tools she needed to help herself and others.
Delighted to have none other than Vicky Phelan as my guest on the show this week. Mother, Author, Women's Health Advocate and Motivational Speaker, Vicky has captured the hearts of the nation with her determination to see real change for women's health in Ireland. In this episode we spoke about inner strength, new perspectives on life and what really happens when life knocks you down.
The guest I have lined up for you today is without doubt going to leave you feeling inspired, motivated and maybe looking at your own life that little bit differently. John Wall is a husband, father, campaigner and is living with terminal stage 4 prostate cancer. In this episode we spoke about how when you’re told there's going to be a time limit on your life it lifts the 'weight of life' from you and the 'small' stuff doesn't matter so much anymore and why talking through life's difficulties is hugely important.
We are not defined by our circumstance, not unless we give in and let them. Circumstances therefore never determine who we are, but reveal who we are. In this week's episode I speak to the inspirational Katie Murphy who is living with CF ( Cystic Fibrosis) Rather than let her condition thoroughly dictate her life, Katie decided to focus on what she could control in her life and is living proof as to why your circumstances don't define you & why with the right mindset you can achieve anything you set your mind to.
It's not your circumstances that shape you but how you react to you circumstances that matters. I can't think of a more apt statement when it comes to describing my guest on this weeks show. Joanne O Riordan, activist, writer and 1 of only 7 people in the world born with a rare condition called Total Amelia meaning she was born without limbs is 100% a force to be reckoned with. I hope you enjoy and feel inspired as you listen to her story.

Is this you? Do you constantly worry about what you said, what you did, why someone didn't text back or what other people think?
Do you lie in bed at night going over scenarios or fall down the rabbit hole of worrying about things that in the grand scheme of things are not really that important.
Trust me you're not on your own! In this episode I share some practical strategies that can help you stop sweating the small stuff.
My guest today is Paddy Cunningham, who some of you may remember from his time on the popular show, The Biggest Loser UK which he took part in in 2011.
Paddy is back and on a quest to lose 100lbs and in todays show we talk all about not giving up, how to not let your negative voice win, the mindset you need for achieving any goal and why it's ok to start over.
Even if youre not on a weighloss or health journey right now I really do believe you will be inspired by this conversation with whatever goal you have.
The fear of judgement and the fear of failure are two of the most popular reasons that hold people back. Fearing how others will judge them and their decisions and being scared incase you'll fail are often why so many people don't go after the things they want in life.
In this episode I talk about both issues with some real life coaching examples and coaching questions you can ask yourself to tackle these fears head on.
So as we all know January is a time where most people want to make some changes to their lives, be it a new health kick, diet, habit, challenge whatever it is but I'm also well aware that right now with the current situation, it may be pretty difficult to start something new or you may be feeling a bit demotivated. My guest today is considered the King of Change having transformed his life over the past number of years and in this episode we discussed changing your perspective, swimming in the shallow lane first and why your behaviours everyday are so important when it comes to showing up at your best.
In this weeks episode I spoke to Dr. Rachel Goldman, a psychologist from NYC about why its so important to set boundaries in order to protect yourself from overwhelm and burnout, why positive self talk is so important and how to beat the Sunday night blues and make the most of your weekend.
Norah Casey, former TV Dragon, experienced T.V and Radio Broadcaster, Publisher, Author and Successful Entrepreneur. Norah has worn many hats throughout her career and has spoken very publicly about her own story of domestic abuse and the pain of grief following the death of her beloved husband Richard.
In this episode myself and Norah discuss grief, loss, surviving, rebuilding, having a voice and why saying yes even when you don't feel ready can open the door to incredible opportunities.
Do you beat yourself up, think you're not good enough, criticise how you look, act, dress, worry constantly, play the 'what if' game or regularly find yourself imagining the worst case scenario?
Don't worry you're not alone. Many people suffer with some (or all) of the above on a daily/weekly basis. If you find this type of thinking is impacting the quality of your life listen to this weeks episode where myself and Dr Andrea Bonior discuss how and why it's important to detox your thoughts.
Does your mind sometimes, or all the time feel overloaded with everything your need to do or remember? Do you always feel 'on', struggle with switching off and wish you could find a solution or get some help?
Work, kids, friends, family, remembering to take the dinner out of the freezer, sending a card for your aunts birthday, giving the dog his flea tablet and on and on it goes. This is referred to as the 'mental load' and in this weeks episode myself and my guest Allison Keating discuss sharing the load, having the conversation with your partner and why rest is super important!
Does working from home make you feel stressed sometimes? Do you feel the pressure to always be on? Are you afraid to leave the desk to make a cuppa incase an important call/email pops up?
Who would have guessed right? - The pressure of working from home is real.
Maybe you find yourself procrastinating more or getting distracted by things/people at home. In this episode myself and my guest Siobhan Murray discuss all of the above and give some solutions on common WFH issues.
On today's show my guest, Dr. Jane Tornatore and I discussed some important topics that come up time and time again during coaching sessions.
They are
-
How to stop negative thoughts swirling around your head
-
Perfectionism and the pressure to be perfect
-
How to stop seeking external validation & praise in order to feel good enough.
I hope that this episode will give you some comfort knowing that you're not alone with the thoughts that you have and overcoming all of the above may be easier than you think
Confidence - something that without fail comes up in about 80% of my coaching sessions. Women who want it and don't think they have it and wonder why some have it in spades when they feel like they've none.
Can I let you in on a secret? Confidence isn't a thing you can have. It's a feeling. One that you can learn to tap into once you know how. In this episode I talk about 4 things no one tells you about confidence in the hopes that you'll begin to feel more confident in yourself from today.
The saying 'it's not what happens to you, but how you react to it' couldn't be more true when I think of my guest on this weeks episode of the podcast. Psychologist, author and motivational speaker, Donna Kennedy has endured tremendous challenges in her life however she refuses to let life label her as a victim. She is proof that when you put your mind to something, anything is possible and I know you'll find her story and advice both inspiring and empowering.
My guest on today's show is the incredible Enda O'Doherty and is a story of true transformation and how anything is possible once you believe that you can. Enda admits that in his past he was 'dying by slow motion suicide' due to his excessive weekly drinking of 3+ bottles of whisky and wine per week. In this interview he discusses surviving his hell on earth and how he managed to turn it all around, finding his purpose preventing others from falling into similar pitfalls.

'At some level you already know'. That's the thing about learning to listen and trust your intuition. Deep down you have the answers to whatever you're searching for you just need to be ready to listen.
In a world where we want the answers NOW going within and really listening isn't always appealing BUT for real change to occur or to find that happiness and content you're searching for, sometimes it's the only way. I discuss this and more with my fabulous guest this week, Entrepreneur, Speaker and Podcast Host Simon Hall.

In this week's episode myself and my guest, The Inside Out Coach, AnneMarie Lowry spoke about the pressure we put on ourselves in order to be 'perfect'. Not necessarily in the physical sense but what we do to portray the image of being perfect.

Do you regularly feel overwhelmed by your to-do list? Don't worry you are NOT alone. Being the incredible human being that you are tends to mean that you have a lot on your plate (or plates)
If you're anything like how I used to be that feeling of being overwhelmed can lead to a lack of focus, anxiety, panic and unable to get even the simplest tasks done. Over the years I've learned some simple techniques that really help calm that overwhelmed feeling so that I can get the important things done and in this episode I'm hoping what worked for me will work for you too.

In this episode he talks about the steps he took to truly change his life and how he believes the steps he implemented can help you make any change, big or small, in your life.
Do you often worry about what people think about you? Your decisions, choices, ideas? Have you ever let it stop you from doing something you wanted to do because you were afraid of being judged? You're not alone. This whole fear of judgement and worrying about what others think of us is something that comes up time and time again in conversations with my clients.
"What will so and so think?" In this episode I talk about why worrying what others think of you is counterproductive, draining and a complete waste of your time and the one thing you can do to stop!
We can have the skills, talents and ability to do something but if the confidence piece is missing that fear can get in the way and stop us from doing the very thing that we were born to do.
I'm always asked is there a magic pill that you can take to become more confident and have that belief in yourself? Unfortunately, there isn't BUT there are things you can do everyday to improve your confidence and belief in yourself each and every day and that is what this episode is all about!
In this weeks podcast episode myself and my guest, Transformational Coach Niamh Ennis talked about change, how to adapt to it and how to put ourselves right back in the drivers seat and take back control when things aren't going our way- hello corona virus.
My guest Niamh followed her heart and changed everything about her life a few years after losing her fiancé and both her parents one after another. In this conversation we spoke about rewriting your story, discovering who it is that you want to become in life, getting clear on your vision and the steps you can take to change and transform your life.
Today's topic is an absolutely EYE opeining and LIFE changing conversation about food.

The last of the human freedoms is how you choose to respond to the situation
Today's conversation and podcast episode is REALLY important. As we navigate these unchartered waters one thing is certain- we’re all going to need some extra resilience and mental strength over the coming weeks and months to deal with the challenges that Covid19 throws our way.That's why I'm going to dedicate this podcast to just that and bring you conversations around what you can do to improve your mental resilience and inspiring stories from people who have overcome so much to show that we are resilient and can and will over come tough times.
I couldn't think of a more apt guest to have on the show this week amidst all the panic surrounding Covid19. Shane Cradock is a well known Leadership Coach but his speciality is improving your state of mind- something, as you know I'm a huge advocate of and think is so important as we face into this uncertainty. I think this episode will convince you now more than ever why it's so important to work on your inner game, especially in these current times of change and upheaval.
Today we’re going to talk about a topic that I KNOW a lot of you struggle with. How do I know??? Because its just so bloody common especially amongst women.
And what is it? It's that pesky thing called self doubt that gets in the way of doing the thing you want to do… and today we’re going to tackle how we’re going to give self doubt the heave ho so we can get on with the most important task of being brilliant at whatever we’re doing or choose to do!
So buckle up and get ready to feel empowered with this latest episode!
I’m sharing some personal insights in this weeks episode after a recent interview on LMFM radio 'Monday Motivation' slot. I hope that some of the lessons I've learned about myself over the past 10 years will help you gain more clarity about your own life and what you're capable of. This week I also asked apple podcast listeners for a favour -I asked if they liked what they heard would they mind rating and reviewing the show. It only take 10 seconds to do and I would REALLY appreciate it. Thank you SO much!
Think mindfulness is just a fad ? Think again! This week on the show I spoke to Paddy Brosnan, a mindfulness teacher who works with thousands of people helping them to become more mindful. If you're not into mindfulness and see it as a fad let me tell you this episode is for you…this is not about having a 20 minute practice in the morning or the evening, this really is about introducing more focus and intention into your life, being more mindful, being more present and how it can really give you the edge both personally and professionally.
In today's episode I spoke to coach and international motivational speaker, Pete Smith who changed his whole outlook on life when he had a stroke when he was only 35. The stroke almost killed him and doctors still don’t know how he is alive today. Something changed for Pete that day - he 'woke up' and grabbed his second chance at life with both hands. In this interview he talks about how we can all lead a more fulfilled life and how the choices we make everyday impact the quality of our lives.
An average person has between 12,000 to 60,000 thoughts per day. Of those, 80% are negative and 95% are repetitive thoughts. Pretty startling eh? In this episode I spoke to high performance coach, George Anderson about improving the quality of our thoughts and how it can have an incredible impact on the quality of our lives. We also spoke about why in the age of information overload we actually need less information and more action in order to see a real change.
When you're describing your life, be it personally or professionally how often do you use the words- busy, mental, manic, flat out?
Often? If you're like the majority of people you use the word 'busy' to describe your entire life. I wonder when did it become ok to wear 'busyness' as a badge of honour and something that demonstrates how successful you are? It this episode I talk about how to break free form the busyness agenda and take back control of how we view our lives.
If ever there was proof needed that a shift in mindset can have a huge impact on your life it can be found in my conversation with popular fitness and health blogger, Maeve Madden. Her life was once ruled by an unhealthy obsession with diet and exercise, so much so that it was having a negative impact on her overall health & wellbeing. Fast forward a few years later and Maeve is now known for her body positive content and can do attitude. It's proof that we can all improve our lives with the right outlook.

In this weeks episode we're going to focus on why we need to stop comparing ourselves to other people.

Instead of giving up and letting his newfound circumstances change who he was as a person Jack decided to embrace his new life and set out on a journey of becoming the very best version of himself, despite his challenging circumstances. In this episode we spoke about the power of the mindset, building resilience and unlocking your full potential. I hope you enjoy!
If you're listening right now with a to-do list the length of your arm, worrying about how you're going to get things done and feeling a ton of pressure with all the demands on your shoulder's. Don't panic - you're not on your own.
So many of us are struggling with overwhelm - it's the curse of modern day life. In this weeks episode I’ve decided to tackle this issue - this feeling of overwhelm and talk through some of the tips both myself and others have found beneficial so that you can still feel productive and like you’re getting stuff done even if you're feeling overwhelmed right now.
Your current situation is not your final destination. This was the theme of the conversation when I spoke to Graham McCormack aka The Real World Buddhist earlier this month. After struggling with severe mental health issues and attempting to take his own life on more than one occasion, Graham turned it all around with the help of mindfulness and becoming more self- aware. He's proof that no matter where you are in life you can make a positive change both for yourself and others. Listen to his story in this weeks episode.

In total, they lost a staggering 13 stone between them and in this episode, they share their tips on healthy eating, food addiction and maintaining weight loss forever.
This week I was delighted to dive deep into a topic I'm absolutely fascinated by - Sleep! It is one of the fundamentals of a healthy lifestyle, yet it is something that so many of us do not prioritise. We're going to bed later, getting up earlier with research revealing how 6/10 Irish adults are sleep deprived.

I really believe that the majority of people spend FAR too much time caring and worrying about what people think of them, their life choices and what they're doing day to day.
I'll be honest with you I am one of them, or I was until recently.
Caring about what other people think can really hold you back in life and tbh its really NONE of your business WHAT people are thinking about you. It doesn't/shouldnt concern you. As long as you're not harming anybody why should you give a damn?
Concentrate on you and your awesomeness and forget about the rest! This bitesize episode will give you reasons why you should give up worrying about what people think and how to do it! Hope you enjoy
"So why did I start a Podcast? I was diagnosed with MS in 2017and it gave me the kick I needed to FINALLY create something that could not only help me BUT other 30-something year olds in Ireland by focusing on the issues that are really affecting people today"
I didn't realise that when I sen that tweet a mere 24 hours later I would be a guest on LMFM radios The Late Lunch talking about my diagnosis, what I've learned and why I started the podcast. Very unexpected but great to be amongst friends when discussing my illness for the first time. No going back now folks! Hope you enjoy and get something from it!

On today’s show I was joined by Journalist, Author & Motivational Speaker Paul McNeive. At the age of 20 Paul was involved in a fire which ultimately led to the loss of his legs at age 21. Paul spent months in hospital undergoing skin graphs and rehabilitation to teach him how to walk on prosthetic legs. Rather than let it deter him, Paul took the tools that he learned in rehab to climb the career ladder to the top as Managing Director of a successful estate agency. Later, Paul became the first double amputee helicopter pilot in the world and is an author of not one but two bestselling books. In this interview Paul explains how mind over matter, visualisation and the power of small steps can help you achieve anything you put your mind to.
Delighted to be joined on the Mastering Your Wellness Podcast this week by bestselling author, speaker and wellness coach Pat Divilly. Pat was absolutely everything I thought he would be.

If you haven't already picked up a copy of Pat's book Upgrade Your Life I'll leave a link on the website show notes. Trust me it's well worth a read!
