Father Harry Bohan, an Irish Catholic Priest, is locally recognised in the West of Ireland as a man ahead of his time. Harry is a sociologist, an author, a social entrepreneur, and the former manager of the Clare hurling team, winning two National Leagues.

Harry joins me this week on the Podcast to share & discuss his views on seeking out your purpose and meaning of life in the 21st Century. We discuss the four connections Fr. Harry believes can help shape our future, both socially and spiritually, and how they summarise what ‘spirituality’ truly means.

The training of the body for whatever we do is important, but the training of the mind and the spirit are vital. – Father Harry Bohan

He has won 7 county finals for his club, Ballygunner, and one club title.

Stephen joins me today to discuss why it’s important to have the courage to embrace change and adopt a growth mindset. We discuss Stephen’s definition of success and why he believes it’s more about enjoying the journey than reaching the destination. We discuss how the focus on youth sports has evolved over the years and why many young athletes focus more on winning and ‘being the best’ than simply enjoying the sport they’re playing. We discuss the concept of ‘Grateful Reframing’ and how Stephen uses it to overcome challenges. We also discuss the value of honesty, Stephen’s definition of leadership, and the importance of strength training for older adults.

Today, I discuss what perfectionitis is and explain why it’s important to celebrate our inner perfections, despite our flaws. I explain why perfectionism is an unhealthy way of thinking and how the pursuit of perfection often creates a fear of failure, self-criticism, and self-sabotaging behaviors.

I explain how you can determine if you’re suffering from perfectionitis and why perfectionism often goes hand-in-hand with procrastination. I also share tips on how to address your perfectionist tendencies, the value of celebrating your strengths and achievements, and the importance of developing a growth mindset.

Today, Liana joins me to talk about what makes a resilient mind. She shares her favorite books and what she’s learned from them, and she explores the 5 core strengths: self-care, positive actions, social connections, character strengths, and brain strengths.

We talk about the power of thinking small and of focusing on encouraging the positive rather than reversing the negative. She talks about the Global Positive Health Institute and explains why medicine should start with lifestyle and work outward from there. She discusses the strong and undeniable link between lifestyle medicine and positive psychology, she defines success, and she shares three take-homes for a resilient mind.
