Today's conversation is with my own and only mother, Bernadette Mc Keown. 

Bernadette studied Philosophy and Psychology, before pursuing HDip training to become a primary school teacher. Bernadette is a retired primary school teacher, and one of the most impressive people at engaging with young people that I have ever witnessed. Widowed at age 42, Bernadette went on to raise 4 successful children, and continues to care for them and her grandchildren. 

Without Bernadette's love, care, and kindness, I wouldn't be here today. I wouldn't be able to do any of the things I do. I am in awe of my mother's achievements, her wisdom, and her boundless love. This boundless love is on display every day, and shines through in this conversation.

For all the wonderful things you do, thank you Mam.

I'd love to see your reaction to this conversation. Please reach out to me on Instagram @allaboutYEW, comment underneath this episode on the All About YEW YouTube channel, message me on Twitter @PatsPsychMSc. I can relay all messages for Bernadette to her.

In the 2nd episode of my special series on Viktor Frankl's Man's Search For Meaning, I discuss the differences between real vs imagined experience and the relativity of suffering.

This is the first in a series of podcasts I will be sharing that discuss and critique some of the ideas found in Viktor Frankl's 1946 book "Man's Search For Meaning".  In this podcast I discuss the phenomena of the "delusion of reprieve" and "apathy".  

In today's special and nerve-wracking episode I discuss the utility of self-expression. Do you think expressing yourself is always a good idea? Send your feedback to me on my All About YEW YouTube or Instagram @AllAboutYEW

In today's episode I discuss my fleeting but profound experience of insight, aided by Sam Harris and his Waking Up meditation app.

Today I talk about humility.

Hope you enjoy! I'd love to hear from you either way.

Today I chat about the downsides of trying to be positive.

Today I chat about priorities...

Today I talk about Hamlet, The Sopranos and the effect they've both had on me. Also, I begin with a shoutout to my biggest fan this side of the River Boyne!  I want to hear your questions if you have any. That will never change.  And share this episode with somebody who'll enjoy it!

Today I talk about attachment, haircut anxiety, and the viability of digital media without social media.   As always, I wanna hear your questions if you have any. And share the video with somebody if you think it's of any use! Hit the thumbs down if you think it's useless. Cheers!  #NothingToHide
