About this listen
In this candid and insightful episode, Patrick McKeown sits down with Dermot Whelan—comedian, broadcaster, and author of "Busy and Wrecked"—to explore the realities of stress, burnout, and the relentless pace of modern life. Dermot shares his personal journey from panic attacks and overwhelm to discovering the transformative power of meditation and mindful breathing. Together, they unpack the concept of "peace pinchers"—the everyday habits, people, and situations that steal our sense of calm—and discuss why so many of us wait until crisis hits before seeking help.
Listeners will hear practical strategies for recognizing the signs of stress, setting boundaries, and integrating simple mindfulness and breathing techniques into daily routines. The conversation is filled with humor, honesty, and relatable stories, making the tools and insights accessible to everyone—whether you're new to mindfulness or looking to deepen your practice. Tune in to learn how small changes can create a ripple effect, helping you find peace and presence even when life feels busy and wrecked.
