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:

We’ve had some unique guests on this podcast—but never one like this. I don’t even know his real name. He goes by the name of Art Riddler, he wears a mask, and until now, no one knew the story behind it. This is the first time he’s shared his personal journey and wow, what a journey it is. It’s one of grief, heartbreak, and despair, but also hope, creativity, and a deep desire to help others.

You might know him as the anonymous philanthropist supporting emerging Irish artists with generous prizes and exhibitions but behind that mystery is a man who lost the love of his life, and somehow turned that pain into something truly beautiful.

We talk about grief, healing, the power of art, and why Irish people still get weird about kindness. It’s raw, real, and one of the most moving conversations I’ve had on The Mind Full Podcast.

As discussed in this episode, Art Riddler’s Exhibition is taking place from Thursday 16th to Sunday 19th of October at 1 Charlemont Square, Dublin and I highly recommend it!
