Summary
Today we welcome Niall Breslin to the podcast. Niall is one of Ireland’s most formidable and inspiring mental health advocates and public speakers. He is the lead singer and songwriter for “The Blizzards”, and was a coach on “The Voice of Ireland”. His award-winning mental health charity “A Lust for Life” teaches young people to be effective guardians of their own minds. He works with a diverse range of clients, including Apple, Google, international NGOs, and The European Parliament. Niall hosts the ‘Where Is My Mind’ and “Wake Up Wind Down” podcasts, both of which are regularly in the UK and Ireland’s top podcast charts.
In this episode I talk to Niall Breslin about mental health. During his early days as an entertainer and athlete, Niall has always tried to put his best foot forward. But behind this confident exterior, he was silently suffering. It was only after he came forward about his struggles that he sought the help he needed. Instead of avoiding negative emotions, Niall encourages us to face them bravely, either through therapy or mindfulness. We also touch on the topics of education, introspection, resilience, community, and empowerment.

| 0:00.0 | To me, Bravery is back to that place that's never been wounded. Bravery is just that acknowledgement |
| 0:08.4 | that there's something in you that no matter how dark or difficult things get or how intense life |
| 0:15.6 | can feel sometimes, there is a party that no one's ever got to and no one's ever wounded and I think |
| 0:21.6 | that's keeping that in the back your head brings this level of bravery out. |

| 1:42.8 | Neil. I found him incredibly sensitive and really touching. There were definitely moments in this |
| 1:49.2 | episode in which I teared up and I really like his message that we can find parts of ourselves |
| 1:54.2 | that aren't wounded and that we should search for those parts of ourselves because we all have |
| 1:58.4 | light within us. I really love that message. It really resonated with me and I know it'll resonate |
