We’ve turned intuition into a buzzword—flattened it into a slogan, a gut feeling, or a vague whisper we don’t always know how to hear. But what if intuition is so much more? What if it's one of the most powerful tools we have—and we’ve just forgotten how to use it? In this episode, I’m joined by Hrund Gunnsteinsdóttir , Icelandic thought leader, filmmaker, and author of InnSæi: Icelandic Wisdom for Turbulent Times . Hrund has spent over 20 years studying and teaching the science and art of intuition through her TED Talk, Netflix documentary (InnSæi: The Power of Intuition), and global work on leadership, innovation, and inner knowing. Together, we explore what intuition really is (hint: not woo-woo), how to cultivate it in a culture obsessed with logic and overthinking, and why your ability to listen to yourself might be the most essential skill you can develop. In This Episode, We Cover: ✅ Why we’ve misunderstood intuition—and how to reclaim it ✅ Practical ways to strengthen your intuitive muscle ✅ What Icelandic wisdom teaches us about inner knowing ✅ How to use intuition during uncertainty and decision-making ✅ Why trusting yourself is an act of rebellion (and power) Intuition isn’t magic—it’s a deep, internal guidance system that already exists inside you. The question is: are you listening?

Power of Apology 18:53

לפני 4 ימים18:53

18:53

When it comes to saying sorry, which sounds most like you, A. “Sorry, I'm breathing.” You apologise for everything, even things that aren't your fault. B.“Sorry, not sorry.” You avoid apologising unless absolutely necessary. C. “I'm sorry but” you say it but it comes with a built-in excuse. D. “I own it”. You apologise clearly, kindly and without losing your dignity. Main Message: We’ve all been there – stuck between our pride and the pit in our stomach that says, “I should make this right.” But here’s the truth: Apologising doesn’t make you weak – it makes you wise. It’s not about grovelling. It’s about growth. It’s not about giving away your power. It’s about owning your impact. 3-Step Mindset Tool: How to Apologise with Power (Not People-Pleasing) 1. Pause Before You Apologise Ask yourself: Am I apologising because I’ve hurt someone? Or because I feel uncomfortable with conflict? A real apology needs to come from clarity, not guilt. Reframe: “What’s the most respectful way I can take responsibility here?” Example: You snapped at your partner after a stressful day. Instead of blurting "Sorry, I'm just tired!", pause, reflect, and say, "I’m sorry I took that out on you – that wasn’t fair." 2. Drop the 'But' "I'm sorry *but* I was tired." "I'm sorry *but* you started it." That tiny word cancels everything before it. A powerful apology sounds like: “I’m sorry for how that came across. It wasn’t my intention, but I can see how it affected you.” Example: A work colleague was hurt by your comment. Instead of saying, "I'm sorry, but you were being oversensitive," say, "I'm sorry my words landed that way – I didn’t mean to hurt you." 3. Don’t Lose Yourself in the Apology You can be sorry for what happened without making yourself wrong as a person. Healthy mindset: “That wasn’t okay – and I want to make it right.” Example: You missed a friend’s event. Don’t say, "I'm the worst friend ever!" Instead: "I'm sorry I missed it. I really care and want to hear all about it." Psychology Behind Apology Patterns Why some people can’t apologise: - Deep shame or fear of being wrong - Belief that mistakes equal failure or rejection - Childhood conditioning: “If I’m wrong, I’m unlovable.” Example: Someone who can never say sorry at work because they believe admitting fault will make them look weak or incompetent. They might deflect, blame others, or minimise the issue instead. Why some people apologise all the time: - Habitual people-pleasing - Fear of conflict or abandonment - Internalised low self-worth: “Sorry I exist.” - Socialised to be small, agreeable, or not take up space Example: Someone constantly says "sorry" for asking a question, expressing an opinion, or even just walking past someone. It's less about the situation and more about feeling unworthy of taking up space. The key question to ask yourself: “What’s behind my apology strategy?” Is it healing or hiding? Am I seeking connection or avoiding discomfort? Apologising isn’t just about manners. It’s about mindset. 📚Recommended Reading: “The Gifts of Imperfection” by Brené Brown A foundational read for anyone who over-apologises due to shame, perfectionism, or not feeling “enough.” Key insight: You don’t have to hustle for your worth. Owning your truth is where your power lies. Quote: “Owning our story and loving ourselves throug…

Begin Again – The Secret to Staying Alive Inside 16:24

לפני 12 ימים16:24

16:24

“What in your life are you a beginner at these days?” When was the last time you did something Something that made you feel like beginner all over again? If we only play the games we know we can win, life gets smaller. The power of being *rubbish* at something new — and why it might just be the secret to staying alive inside. The Problem: As we get older, we stick with what we know. We don’t want to look silly. We shrink We only play the games we *know* we can win. And slowly… our lives get smaller. Safer. Staler. Core Message: Growth doesn’t live in mastery — it lives in messy beginnings. The willingness to be a beginner again is how we stay ‘alive !’ 3 Mindset Moves to Reignite Beginner Energy: 1. Ask yourself: What haven’t I done “yet”? Write a list. Painting? Dancing? Coding? Spanish? Let curiosity lead. 2. Normalise the awkward stage. If you feel awkward congrats, you’re doing it right! 3. Share your beginner stories. There’s power in saying, “I’m learning.” It keeps you humble, open and interesting. Bonus: it gives others permission to begin too. Call to Action: This week, try something new — not to be good at it, but to feel the joy of *beginning again*. Pick up the pen. Book the class. Join the dance floor. P.S. Quote to Close: “If you only do what you already know how to do, you will never grow.”…

Lighten Up! Why Fun Is a Serious Business 13:27

לפני 18 ימים13:27

13:27

In the busyness of life—deadlines, routines, responsibilities—it’s easy to forget that joy and laughter are not luxuries, they’re essential. What if I told you that adding just a bit of playfulness into your day can lift your mood, boost your health, and even make you more productive? Step 1: The Benefits of Playfulness Research shows playfulness can: - Reduce stress - Boost creativity - Strengthen relationships - And increase happiness When we play, we’re present. Whether it's a hobby, a joke, or simply goofing around—play gives the mind a break and the heart a lift. Step 2: Letting Go of Seriousness As adults, we often wear a 'serious hat' all the time. But here's the truth—taking life too seriously can weigh us down. By lightening up, not sweating the small stuff, and letting our inner child out to play, we make room for joy in the everyday. Step 3: Fun Activities to Try This Week Here are a few easy ways to bring more fun into your week: 1. Play a game – Board games, card games, even charades with the family. 2. Try something new – A class, a creative hobby, even dancing in your kitchen. 3. Laugh more – Watch a comedy, hang out with a funny friend, or just look for the humour in the little things. Quote (Deirdre): "We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing." – George Bernard Shaw So here’s your Mindset Mastery message today: Don’t wait for fun—create it. A little laughter can go a long way.…

The Power of a Pause: Reset, Refocus, Reignite 17:28

לפני 19 ימים17:28

17:28

We often rush through life so fast — working, striving, doing — that we lose sight of whether we’re actually moving in the direction we want. A pause isn’t about losing momentum — it’s about regaining clarity and intention. Like Ciara Daly has shown through the launch of her new Academy — powerful change often starts not by doing more, but by taking a moment to breathe, to refocus, and then reignite with purpose. 3 Steps: 1. Pause with Purpose: Take 10 quiet minutes today. Ask yourself: "What is working in my life — and what isn’t?" 2. Reconnect to Your Direction: Remember where you actually want to go — not where habit or busyness is pushing you. 3. Reignite with Intention: Pick one small, meaningful action you can take this week that feels aligned with your true goals, not just the day-to-day noise.

The importance of self worth 14:05

לפני 5 weeks14:05

14:05

In this conversation on U105, Deirdre speaks about the critical importance of self-worth and how it underpins every personal choice we make — especially when it comes to our health. She shares the idea of ‘value tagging’ , encouraging us to treat ourselves with the same care, respect, and priority we naturally give to the things we treasure most. Deirdre emphasises that when we truly understand our own value, it becomes easier to make decisions that honour our wellbeing. She also highlights the power of optimism and mindset in helping us move towards our personal goals — that it’s not just about what we do, but how we see ourselves while doing it. She offers practical ways to strengthen self-worth, such as journaling and positive affirmations , tools that help us reconnect with our inner value and stay committed to the journey — like the one so many are taking with "The Shred." At the heart of her message is this: when you value yourself, your choices naturally start to reflect that truth.…

Mindset Mastery Monday — In Honour of Pope Francis 31:09

לפני 6 weeks31:09

31:09

This special episode is dedicated to the memory of Pope Francis — a leader who showed the world what it means to live with grace, courage, and quiet strength. In conversation with Frank Mitchell on U105, Deirdre reflects on what it means to live a successful life, inspired by the Pope’s example and a poem close to her heart. Deirdre shares “What is Success?” by Ralph Waldo Emerson — a reading she first offered at her own father’s passing. The words still resonate deeply and offer a moment of stillness in today’s noisy world. What is Success? by Ralph Waldo Emerson To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty; To find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived— This is to have succeeded. 🙏 May the legacy of Pope Francis inspire us to live with deeper purpose, gentler hearts, and clearer intention.…

Unlearning 26:35

לפני 9 weeks26:35

26:35

Making space for a better you. Frank , when was the last time you unlearned something you thought was true your whole life? We’ve all had those moments: Like realising the Earth isn’t flat. Or that smoking was never sexy – despite what the movies told us. Now we look back and think, “How did we ever believe that?” And yet, we still carry around old beliefs about ourselves that we’ve never questioned. Beliefs that sound sensible, but silently sabotage our confidence, our peace, our power. So today, we’re shining a light on: 3 Things Worth Unlearning 1. Rest = Lazy We’ve been raised to glorify hustle. But rest isn’t weakness – it’s wisdom. It’s leadership. It’s how we reset our nervous system, clear the mental clutter, and reawaken our creativity. You’re not lazy for slowing down. You’re wise . 2. Your Worth = Your Productivity You’re not a machine. You’re a miracle. We’ve been conditioned to measure our value by our output. But you are worthy , even when you pause. Even when the to-do list stays undone. You are enough, even in stillness. 3. Conflict is Bad Many of us learned to avoid conflict, fearing it meant trouble or rejection. But when done with care, conflict isn’t chaos – it’s connection . It’s honesty. It’s courage. It can bring more peace, not less. Speaking your truth is a gift, not a threat. ✅ Your 3-Step Mindset Reset is inside this episode Final Thought Sometimes the path to more confidence, more clarity, and more peace… Isn’t about adding more to your life – It’s about letting go of what was never yours to carry in the first place. See you next week for another Mindset Mastery Monday with Deirdre Maguire.…

The Lies of Lucky: Creating Your Own Fortune 26:11

לפני 11 weeks26:11

26:11

let's kick off with a question about luck. Which of the following statements do you think is true about luck? A) Luck is purely a matter of chance. B) Luck is something you can create through your actions and mindset. C) Luck only happens to certain people." Teaching Segment: "Saint Patrick's Day often brings to mind the idea of luck, but there are many misconceptions about what luck really is. Let's debunk some of these myths and learn how to create our own fortune. Here are three steps to understand and harness the true nature of luck: 1. Preparation: One of the biggest lies about luck is that it’s all about chance. In reality, luck often comes to those who are prepared. By setting goals, acquiring skills, and being ready to seize opportunities, you can create your own luck. Think of it as planting seeds; the more you prepare, the more likely you are to reap a bountiful harvest. 2. Positive Mindset: Another myth is that luck is something you either have or you don’t. In truth, a positive mindset can attract opportunities and good fortune. By maintaining an optimistic outlook and focusing on solutions rather than problems, you can turn potential setbacks into stepping stones. For example, if you face a challenge, view it as an opportunity to learn and grow. 3. Action: Many people believe that luck is passive, but it’s actually about taking action. By being proactive and taking steps towards your goals, you increase your chances of encountering 'lucky' breaks. This could mean networking, seeking out new experiences, or simply putting yourself out there. Remember, fortune favors the bold. By understanding these principles, you can move beyond the myths of luck and start creating your own fortune."…

The Power of Action 10:43

לפני 13 weeks10:43

10:43

Understand the Types of Change Instant Change: You see a documentary on animal cruelty and immediately stop eating meat. Cumulative Change: Bit by bit, repeated actions add up. (Example: Learning a new language – you practice daily, and over time, fluency develops. 3.Retroactive Change: You take action first, even if it’s small, and later see the progress. Example: Going to the gym without immediate results, but over months, tracking progress and seeing transformation. 2 Steps to Overcome Inaction: Make It So Small You Can’t Fail The biggest lie we tell ourselves is that a single action is too small to matter. But in reality, every big achievement starts with micro-movements. Instead of trying to ‘get fit,’ commit to one push-up. Instead of ‘writing a book,’ write a single sentence. Action builds momentum. Measure What Matters If you don’t measure it, you can’t improve it. Whether it’s steps walked, pages read, or conversations had, tracking your progress keeps you engaged. Even ‘bad’ action teaches you something. Examples 1. Colonel Sanders – Success in His 60s) knocked on over 1,000 doors Today KFC is a global brand, started with small, persistent actions over decades. 2. J.K. Rowling Harry Potter – 7 Years of Writing, 12 Rejections single mother battling depression. Now, 500 million copies worldwide, started with consistent writing 3. James Dyson 5,126 Failed Prototypes – 15 Years to Success revolutionary bagless vacuum cleaner. massive debt multiple failures, now Dyson = a multi-billion-pound brand. Closing Thought: "Life rewards action, not intelligence.” Discipline is necessary in our life in order to generate consistent systematic action. The way you make massive progress in life is that you show up and try. Even if the action is poor action , you're going to learn something from it.…

The 3-Step Solution to Break Free from Procrastination 1️ The 3-Second Rule – Trick Your Brain into Action If you think of something you need to do, take action within 3 seconds before your brain talks you out of it. It can be as small as opening an email, picking up the phone, or writing the first sentence. Why? Action kills overthinking. 2️ The 5-Minute Sprint – Make It Tiny Tell yourself: "I’ll just do this for 5 minutes." Once you start, momentum kicks in, and you’ll likely keep going. Why? It bypasses the brain’s resistance to big tasks. 3️ The Public Commitment – No More Hiding Say it out loud or message someone: "I will [task] by [time]." Why? When we make things public, we’re more likely to follow through. PS: Procrastination is just fear dressed up as excuses. Action is the only antidote.…

What if we treated personal goals like contracts—would that make us more accountable? 26:54

26:54

"What if we treated personal goals like contracts—would that make us more accountable?" Opening Statistics & Example: " 92% of people fail to keep their New Year’s resolutions, but those who set up systems for accountability are 42% more likely to succeed." "Consistency is key: James Clear, author of Atomic Habits , found that small, repeated actions lead to remarkable results over time." Practical Example: "Imagine you want to walk 10,000 steps a day. Instead of relying on motivation, schedule a daily reminder, track your progress in an app and commit to a reward if you hit your goal for 30 days. Small daily steps create long-term success." 3-Step Solution Set Up Your Own Contract "Momentum comes from commitment. Write a contract with yourself, identifying a specific challenge you want to tackle. Make it real - put it on paper, sign it, and make a promise to yourself." Create a Reward and a Consequence 1. Choose a meaningful reward for completing your goal. 2.Then, set a consequence if you don’t follow through—something that stings, like donating money to someone you don’t like! This keeps you accountable and committed." Make Self-Accountability Non-Negotiable "Self-discipline is the bridge between goals and achievement. Share your contract with a trusted friend or mentor, track your progress, and reward yourself. Closing PS Quote: ‘Discipline is choosing between what you want now and what you want most.’ – Abraham Lincoln "Love and momentum have a lot in common—you've got to keep showing up! Whether it's sticking to your goals or making time for someone special, a little effort every day goes a long way."…

1. Have you ever had a moment where fear almost stopped you from doing something you really wanted to do? 2. What do you think it means when fear shows up right before a big decision? The 3-StepSolution 1. Acknowledge It Fear is natural. Instead of ignoring it, take a moment to notice how it’s showing up for you. Is it in your body, your thoughts, or your actions? 2. Reframe It: Remind yourself that fear isn’t the enemy; it’s a sign of growth. Say to yourself, “If I wasn’t pushing myself, I wouldn’t feel this way.” 2. Take One Brave Step: Action is the antidote to fear. No matter how small the step, moving forward keeps fear from taking the driver’s seat **Closing Quote:** “Everything you’ve ever wanted is on the other side of fear.” George Adair…

How to get what you want : - Manifesting Through Purposeful Intention 16:05

לפני 19 weeks16:05

16:05

Have you ever noticed how you can hear your name in a noisy room, even when you’re not paying attention? It’s like your brain is on autopilot, always on the lookout for what’s meaningful to you. Why do you think that happens Manifesting isn’t about magic; it’s about training your brain to focus on what matters to you. Your brain has something called the “salience network,” which acts like a personal assistant, constantly scanning your environment for anything connected to your goals. 3 Steps to Embed Your Intention and Manifest with Meaning: 1. Anchor Your Intention in Purpose: Write down your goal and connect it to how it benefits others. “I want to get fit so I can be a role model for my kids” instead of just “I want to lose weight.” 2. Value-Tag Your Intention: Spend time visualizing the emotion tied to achieving your goal—what will it feel like to help or inspire someone else? The more emotionally charged it is, the better your brain will track it. 3. Act with Meaning: Do one small action daily that aligns with your intention. It might be helping someone, learning something new, or just being kind to yourself. These actions add up and reinforce your purpose. Closing PS Quote: "Purpose is the heartbeat of manifesting. When you focus on others, your rewards come naturally."…

Follow Your Gut 16:10

לפני 32 weeks16:10

16:10

Everyday Life Examples: 1.Workplace Stress: you’re at your desk feeling overwhelmed by emails . You feel tightness in your chest or a headache. These physical reactions are signals to slow down and reassess. 2.Relationship Tension: During an argument with a loved one, you might feel your shoulders tense or your heart race. That’s your body telling you there’s more beneath the surface emotionally that needs to be addressed. 3.Decision-Making: When faced with a tough decision, like going for a new job, you might feel a knot in your stomach. It’s your body helping you gauge your true feelings about the situation. 3 Action Steps to Implement: 1.Body Scan: Pause during moments of stress to perform a quick body scan, from head to toe. Notice where tension lies and recognize it as an indication of something deeper. 2.Name the Feeling: Identify the emotion tied to the physical sensation—whether it’s fear, excitement, or frustration. This helps you process the feeling instead of letting it control you. 3.Deep Breathing: When you’re in a tense moment, take three deep, slow breaths. This simple act will help calm your nervous system, clear your mind, and allow you to act with more clarity. Say the word “Peace” Closing Quote "The mind’s first step to self-awareness must be through the body." — George Sheehan George Sheehan was an American physician and runner known for his writings on the mind-body connection. His work emphasized how physical activity can lead to greater self-awareness and personal growth. “Using Your Body as a Compass to Overcome Any Obstacle.” Because when life throws you a curveball, your gut feeling is often more reliable than your morning coffee!…

Reframing life’s challenges. 17:59

לפני 40 weeks17:59

17:59

Facing life challenges like illness, bereavement, or divorce can be overwhelming, but there are ways to reframe these experiences to help you cope and heal. Here’s a simple approach : 1. Acknowledge and Feel Your Emotions What to do : Let yourself feel whatever emotions come up—whether it’s sadness, anger, fear, or grief. These feelings are natural and deserve to be acknowledged. Give yourself permission to experience them without judgment. Why it helps : Accepting your emotions is the first step toward healing. When you allow yourself to feel, you’re not bottling up the pain, which can make things harder over time. 2. Look for Growth and Learning What to do : Try to reframe the situation as a chance for growth. Ask yourself, "What can I learn from this?" or "How can this experience make me stronger or wiser?" Why it helps : This approach turns pain into something meaningful. Instead of just surviving the hardship, you’re actively finding ways to grow from it, which can make the experience feel less overwhelming. 3. Focus on Gratitude and Resilience What to do : Even in difficult times, try to focus on things you’re grateful for—like the support of loved ones, small moments of joy, or just getting through the day. Also, work on building resilience by setting small, achievable goals to regain a sense of control. Why it helps : Shifting your focus from what you’ve lost to what you still have, and what you’re capable of overcoming, fosters hope and strength. It helps you see that even in adversity, there are still positive things to hold on to and build upon.…

Start with manageable challenges and gradually expand your comfort zone. Remember, each step forward, no matter how small, brings you closer to freedom from fear and closer to your full potential. fear is natural, but not insurmountable.
