There are so many things happening in the world right now that are making us question who we are, what we’re doing and, to be honest, our sanity. In this week’s episode Niall is joined by Emma Kehoe, who through her own self-development journey has turned into a coach and teacher for others. Emma hit rock bottom in her early thirties, when everything she knew came crashing down around her and the realities of her early years conditioning came to the forefront. Emma shares her story of how she moved through heartbreak, vulnerability and an existential crisis, and ended up finding her love for mindfulness and a balanced approach to life. Niall and Emma get into what mindfulness really means to them, along with the issues of how it and many other things have become complicated by the wellness industry.For more mindfulness content check out Niall’s Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/niallbreslinFollow Niall on IG @bressie, TikTok @niallbreslin, FB @whereismymindpodcast and Twitter @nbrez and visit his website: www.niallbreslin.com.If you or someone you know is struggling emotionally or feeling hopeless, it’s important to talk to someone about it now.

Navigating the modern world can be a trying and tiring thing as we’re all merely trying to exist in the chaos. Politically, socially and even online, we’re experiencing a lot of disconnect and whataboutery. In this week’s episode, Niall is joined by Jeff Guenther, who may be better known to you online as Therapy Jeff. With almost 4 million followers, Jeff has become known and loved for his thought-provoking videos and nuggets of therapy wisdom, but is no stranger to the darker sides of online popularity. Niall and Jeff discuss the tense landscape we’re currently living in, from Trump’s election to America’s TikTok ban, and how that’s impacting all of our psyche. Jeff shares his expertise on connection and what he believes to be the remedy to our individualistic society, along with how his own mind has been impacted by it all. For more mindfulness content check out Niall’s Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/niallbreslinFollow Niall on IG @bressie, TikTok @niallbreslin, FB @whereismymindpodcast and Twitter @nbrez and visit his website: www.niallbreslin.com.If you or someone you know is struggling emotionally or feeling hopeless, it’s important to talk to someone about it now.

Our relationships make up the very essence of who we are, but they can test us, push us and trigger us more than most things in life. In this week’s episode, Niall is joined by one of the podcast’s nearest and dearest return guests, renowned psychologist, Louize Carroll. Louize also happens to be Niall’s partner and has focused her passion on relationships, the ways we show up in them, the hurt and healing they can cause and how we can reclaim ourselves when we’re feeling a bit lost. We hear about Wisely Attached, Louize’s 12 week programme that helps you break free from the patterns making you feel unlucky in love and transform your relationships. Niall and Louize also discuss how our attitude to connection has changed in the modern world, and the attachment styles that are keeping you stuck. You can find more information on Louize’s courses at wiselyattached.com.For more mindfulness content check out Niall’s Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/niallbreslinFollow Niall on IG @bressie, TikTok @niallbreslin, FB @whereismymindpodcast and Twitter @nbrez and visit his website: www.niallbreslin.com.If you or someone you know is struggling emotionally or feeling hopeless, it’s important to talk to someone about it now.

We’ve made it! We’re in that lovely lull between Christmas and the New Year where no one knows what day it is, you’re full of chocolate and cheese and the world has slowed down a little. It’s also a great time to reflect on the year that has been, and it’s been a great one for Where Is My Mind as we reached new listeners, took the podcast on tour and got to meet some of you guys. We’ve also had a year of phenomenal interviews, with some of the world’s best thinkers and souls. This week we’re taking you back to some of the best and most listened to episodes of the year, with Gerry Hussey, Britt Frank, The Therapy Room with Tony and Louize, Meggan Roxanne and Robert Whitaker.

A very happy Christmas to you, from all of us here on the Where Is My Mind team! Well, that is if you’re not tearing your hair out. While all the festivities, catch ups, presents and family time can be lovely, it can be a really overwhelming time of year too. Whether you’ve got something going on in your life like stress, grief, loneliness, Christmas is a time that can amplify all of that. This week, Niall takes you through ways to approach the chaos of Christmas. He talks through some of the biggest stressors of the ‘most wonderful time of the year’ like financial trouble, emotional and social expectations, work deadlines and of course all the extra time that you’ll be spending with your loved ones. Managing expectations and communication are key, along with remembering the magic Christmas can bring, but so is going gently with yourself. If the festive period is getting too much, Niall takes you on a guided meditation to come back to yourself and remember, this too shall pass. For more mindfulness content check out Niall’s Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/niallbreslinFollow Niall on IG @bressie, TikTok @niallbreslin, FB @whereismymindpodcast and Twitter @nbrez and visit his website: www.niallbreslin.com.If you or someone you know is struggling emotionally or feeling hopeless, it’s important to talk to someone about it now.

Music is one of the most powerful mediums in the world, and as we’ve heard from many people on this podcast, it has saved them. In this week’s episode we’re taking you along to one of the Where Is My Mind? Live shows. In the Mermaid Theatre in Bray Niall was joined by two long-time friends from the music industry, Kieran McGuinness and James Vincent McMorrow. The trio talk about how music has changed thanks to the never ending metrics of social media and how it’s now even being tailored to our fading attention spans. They share their fears of music losing its true meaning, with all three having experienced its power in their lives and actually saving them in their darker days. Kieran has a beautiful story about how a performance with his band Delorentos connected him with his birth family, and James explains how focusing on music helped him out of the clutches of an eating disorder. This podcast contains some difficult topics, please take care when listening. For more mindfulness content check out Niall’s Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/niallbreslinFollow Niall on IG @bressie, TikTok @niallbreslin, FB @whereismymindpodcast and Twitter @nbrez and visit his website: www.niallbreslin.com.If you or someone you know is struggling emotionally or feeling hopeless, it’s important to talk to someone about it now.

Where Is My Mind is back! You might have been wondering where Niall has been over the last while but after a short hiatus and well needed break he’s back to fill you in on where his mind has been. After undertaking The Rising, the launch of The Madman’s Hotel and a month-long podcast tour, it’s safe to say burnout was on the brink. Niall shares how he was feeling after such a busy time, all while existing in a world that feels like everything is on fire, and what he did to get himself back on track. He also shares some thoughts he’s been sitting with over the last few weeks, about how our perception of normal human emotion has and continues to evolve and how stepping back from the online world can be a whole mental refresh. For more mindfulness content check out Niall’s Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/niallbreslinFollow Niall on IG @bressie, TikTok @niallbreslin, FB @whereismymindpodcast and Twitter @nbrez and visit his website: www.niallbreslin.com.
