Update and feedback, míle buíochas

About this episode

A quick update about Ready to be Real...I'm taking a break for the summer, but I’ll be back again in the autumn.

Thanks so much for your continued support, it means so much to me and thanks also to my amazing guests who made these conversations possible.

The past ten months have been intense — full of meaningful work (I've been working on a documentary series) and the juggle of modern life — so I haven’t been as consistent with the pod as I would’ve liked. That said, the episodes I have released have been powerful.

With over 200 conversations available, there’s plenty to revisit — from thought-provoking, emotional discussions to unforgettable chats with incredible guests like photographer and activist Misan Harriman and the one and only Dr. Gabor Maté.

We’ve tackled everything from grief, addiction, and coercive control, to menopause, adolescence, and the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

These are honest, human conversations — some might challenge you, and many will stay with you long after you’ve listened to them.


If you have any feedback for me, guest suggestions, or topics you'd love me to explore when I'm back, please do get in touch — DM me on Instagram 𝗦í𝗹𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗼𝗶𝗴𝗲 (@sileseoige) • Instagram photos and videos or drop an ema​il to hello@readytobereal.com


Have a lovely summer, and I’ll chat to you again in September — more organised than ever, with weekly episodes you can rely on.

And as always...Saoirse don Phalaistín.
