Hey, guys. Welcome back to the Law of Attraction Secrets podcast. I'm your host, Natasha Graziano. Today in my leopard print. You've never seen me a leopard print. If you're not watching and you're listening, go to YouTube and listen, because the outfit is worth a look. We are here today with an awesome guest, somebody who, honestly, I cannot stop talking to. That is like that soul sister vibe. Nev McCarthy is the founder of Mindful Nation, the hottest new meditation app. It is the most awesome thing I've personally been using since we met. I'm completely addicted. It's a completely different style meditation app. Believe me, you're going to love it. We'll talk about it later in the show. She's previously worked in the teams of U2 and Madonna. Oh, my goodness. We have so much to talk about. She's also gorgeous and Irish. Welcome to the show, Nev McCarthy. Thank you. How are you?

What an intro.
A (0:51)
I'm actually quite an outfit. Yeah. What an outfit. Look at you. You look so beautiful. Oh, my goodness. I love it when you. When you meet a soul family member, it's like, you know, it just clicks. We really didn't stop talking.
B (1:05)
It's so natural. And that's what I feel like everything that's supposed to be feels like, yes. It's just easy.
A (1:10)
We did not stop talking. It was like, you know, I DM'd you. That's how we met. I was like, that's how everyone meets in today's world. I feel like dates, like, everything.
B (1:19)
People were married, they met on Instagram.
A (1:21)
Right. It's such a thing now. And I feel like. I mean, I don't even use tick tock DMs. Do you use tick tock DMs?
B (1:28)
My best friend sends me videos, which I never respond to, and that's it.
A (1:31)
Yeah. Basically, nobody uses Tick Tock dms. We all use, like, DM on Instagram, but, like, watch my sick talk. But, like, yeah, DM'd. How funny. I know. I love that. And from the moment we met, then I found out you had this incredible app, which, I have to be honest, whether or not you were here, I would talk about it. I actually am so obsessed with it because it's short meditations. Before we even go into it. Tell me a little bit about the app and then after that I'll ask you, like, where you.
B (1:57)
I mean, the apps. The idea was born out of a true need. Right. Kind of like, you know, your whole life. It's like I was on toret Madonna and U2 for many years. I was super young, very burnt out, living this dream in LA. I was 20 years old, you know, flying around, blah, blah, blah. And I experienced intense burnout and stress and all the things that come with being very busy. And I was not mindful. I was like, I mean, I'm Irish, you know, I. Big drinking culture, drank a lot, partying a lot, really, in that toxic kind of culture. And I had a very big burnout moment where I got endometriosis by cystic ovaries. Like, had all these, like, health illnesses and ailments at 22. And I was on tour with one of the artists at the time, and I had a panic attack. And I was brought to hospital. And for someone who's never had a panic attack before, I thought I was going to die. I was like, this is it. It's so scary. And the doctor, that doctor said to me in Germany, if you learn how to breathe, you learn how to control your nervous system. And I was like, why does not. Why does everybody not know that? How do I breathe? Also, like, how do you do that? And so it started this ripple effect of me just investigating meditation and realizing that the people I worked with were, like, super high performers. Very, very, very high level of stress. And all the other meditation apps didn't work for them. They're just too long. As much as I would love to be in India every day and sit there for six hours, it's not feasible in our world. And you need something that actually fucking works. You know, that works.
