In this special live episode of The IMAGE Wellness Project, recorded at WellFest, host Dominique McMullan is joined by Ella Mills - founder of Deliciously Ella - for an honest conversation about wellness that's rooted in real life.

From navigating burnout to building a business, from motherhood to mindset, Ella shares the rituals and reflections that have helped her stay grounded. Together they unpack how the wellness space has evolved, how to set boundaries with compassion, and why small acts of care matter most.

This is a calming, inspiring listen for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the noise, and ready to reconnect with what really feels good.

Dominique McMullan sat down with Brian Pennie - neuroscientist, PhD, author, speaker, star of RTE’s “Hooked” and former heroin addict turned mindset expert - for a conversation about transformation…not just in the external sense, but on a deep, internal level.

His story is about more than overcoming addiction; it’s about waking up to life, breaking free from unconscious patterns, and learning how to truly live.

In this chat, he explains how to step out of that mental hamster wheel and into a state of stillness, presence, and genuine aliveness. Dominique and Brian dove into everything from the real meaning of resilience, to why we don’t have ‘problems’, we have ‘thinking problems’, and how to break free from patterns that keep us stuck.

Brian’s insights will stay with you long after you press pause.
