Selling Sunset's star Mary Bonnet to guest star on season two of Dermot Whelan's podcast

Hosted by multi award-winning broadcaster Dermot Whelan, The Mind Full Podcast arrived as one of the most hotly anticipated new Irish podcasts of 2024 and is officially Ireland’s number one wellness podcast. 

With modern-day lifestyle demands, it seems everyone we meet is either busy, wrecked or both! In this podcast, Dermot explores the topics that can help us to calm a frantic mind, understand our behaviour and  explore our own potential.

This season will see star of Netflix's global hit show Selling Sunset, Mary Bonnet open up about her recent miscarriage and how 'this one hit harder.'

"It'’s not my first miscarriage this one hit harder. A couple years ago I thought, I am done with kids, I am happy I am focusing on my career. I realised I wanted a family with Romaine, he wanted kids. I think it hit me harder, that it might not be on the cards, I waited too long, it might not happen…you lost your chance. I was pretty depressed for about six months."

She tells Dermot about overcoming hurdles as a teen mum, bringing up a young child while juggling college and work, which saw her flip her car due to exhaustion.

She divulges what life is really like in the USA’s most famous real estate company. Gone are the days when she could take prospective buyers to view houses alone. With the rising popularity of the show they now need to really vet prospective buyers and weed out the ‘tyre kickers’ who just want to hang out with Mary or her glam colleagues.

"We have to do a lot of vetting before we will even meet with someone. We have to look them up and make sure not, only can they afford to buy it but they are not psycho! There’s a lot of people that reach out and we have to take our safety very seriously. We are going alone with somebody to a house that’s empty. Before it wasn’t a big deal but now we’re targets so we have to be very very careful that people are who they say they are, that we are not alone. For an Open House we are saying where we are going to be from this time to this time alone"

She also reveals how she keeps her feet on the ground amidst the high heels, hissy fits and high price mansions!

Also in this season Podcasting sensation Blindboy will talk about breaking free of 'the shame of being autistic,' his social anxiety and how he spent two years literally being afraid of his own shadow. Dermot will also travel to Boston to speak with WHOOP Founder & CEO Will Ahmed about how he went toe-to-toe with Amazon to become one America's biggest and most successful tech entrepreneurs at the helm of his $3.6 billion dollar company. The Script's Glen Power discusses the process of discharging grief after last year's passing of his dear friend and bandmate Mark Sheehan and making room for the joy to come in. A no-holds-barred and powerful interview from one Ireland’s most successful bands.

Dermot will be embarking on his Busy & Wrecked Tour throughout Ireland in 2025 where he will be helping people to create more space and energy for the people and things that really matter to us. It’s a show literally like no other. With Dermot’s unique mix of comedy and mindfulness, this brand-new show is a lifeline for anyone who feels like there just aren’t enough hours in the day.

Sharing his own experience with burnout and his expertise as a meditation teacher, all in his much-loved hilarious style, Dermot will show you a new, calmer more effective approach to life where you are less likely to spill your tea on your clean blouse, bite the head off the shop assistant or cry into your Corn Flakes. 

Let Dermot Whelan’s Busy and Wrecked Tour be your new manual for a positive, present and fulfilling life where you no longer feel…well, Busy and Wrecked!
