The importance of self worth 14:05

16 hours fa14:05

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.…

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

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

6 weeks fa26:11

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

8 weeks fa10:43

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.…

Procrastination 21:43

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

"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."…

This week it’s all about feel the fear and do it any way! It’s a crucial part of personal growth. When was the last time you felt the fear and did it anyway? Mine a box jump in the gym. 1.Felt it. 2.Made the desire to do it bigger than the fear. (Imagined it done) 3.Practiced often on a smaller one (bite sized chunks) 4.Did it! 5.Did it again! However, by facing fears head-on, we open ourselves up to transformative opportunities and profound personal development. 3 steps to get you from where you are to where you want to be! STEP 1 - Identify Your Fears: The first step to conquering fear is to shine a light on it. Take a moment to identify and acknowledge what exactly you're afraid of. When it comes to facing our fears, it's crucial to go beyond the surface-level discomfort. For example the fear of meeting a significant other: On the surface, it may seem like a simple reluctance, but when you go deeper you uncover a fear of being hurt or betrayed stemming from past experiences of disloyalty or abandonment. Whether it's fear of failure, rejection, or the unknown, understanding your fear is the cornerstone of overcoming it. STEP 2 - Challenge Your Beliefs: Once you've identified your fears, question the beliefs underlying them. Ask yourself: Are they serving me, or holding me back? Challenging the validity of your fears, strips away their power over you. By challenging these beliefs, you can to dismantle their hold over you and see them for what they usually are: limitations that can be overcome with a shift in perspective and mindset. STEP 3 - Take Courageous Action: Courage is not the absence of fear but the willingness to act despite it. Take small, deliberate steps towards facing your fears. 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. Affirmation of the week.. 💎 "I welcome fear as a chance to grow.…

Hope 15:06

In times of tragedy, hope can be found even amidst the darkest of days. Despite the challenges we face, stories of resilience and courage emerge, reminding us of the human spirit's strength. You know that feeling when you are struggling with a particular situation, and you see someone overcoming something similar – that little flicker is called HOPE. From the ongoing global crises to our own personal struggles, finding hope becomes a guiding light through the shadows. In exploring this topic for the week, we witness the transformative power of hope to bring solace and renewal, even in our darkest moments. Almost immediately springing from the stories of tragedy, we begin to hear of miraculous moments of kindness, compassion, empathy and evidence of the resiliency of the human spirit. In one moment, the world unites and with one gentle, generous hand, reaches out to touch those who have been hurt by devastation. Kindness is demonstrated by people worldwide who see catastrophe and whose hearts are touched and then act in kindness. We hear of people fundraising, gifting food or clothing, attending rallies or depending on the circumstances, travelling to the troubled spot or person to help. The strength of the human spirit is demonstrated in a profound way when viewed through tragedy. I am amazed when I hear the stories of human triumph born out of tragedy—amazing stories of the will to survive and the will to help others survive. We as one person cannot change the entire world, but we can certainly give the world our best. We can be inspired by the acts of kindness born out of these circumstances that bond the human race together, show the strength of the human spirit and give hope of better things to come. Although we are never glad when tragedy visits, we can be aware and seize the opportunity to do good in this world. Affirmation of the week.. 💎 "Through my toughest times, I hold onto that flicker of hope, lighting the way to better days." Here are 3 questions that may help you to find that glimmer of hope if you are struggling at this time; (Grab your journal / a pen and paper!) 1. Reflect on your current emotions and write down how you're feeling. Explore the reasons behind these emotions and any patterns or triggers you may notice. 2. You have faced challenges before – How did you overcome them? How did you navigate through those difficult times, and what strengths or resources did you draw upon? Maybe you spoke to a professional, maybe you took some time off or asked someone to help you out. 3. Write down some things you are grateful for right at this moment, no matter how small. Your health, your partner, your dog, your friends, your home, your beautiful eyes. Take some time to really feel that gratitude. This can be hard to do when you are really challenged, but I promise it helps. 4. Visualise a future where you've overcome your current struggles and are thriving. Write about the person you want to become and the life you’d envision for yourself. If you’d like further support, as always – please don’t hesitate to reach out.…
