About this episode

In this short clip, I revisit the powerful words of Dr. Gabor Maté — words that are resonating so deeply with me right now, especially in light of the devastating news of the murder of Palestinian journalist ​Salah Al Jafarawi yesterday.

Gabor’s words are a reminder to ​us to stay human — to stay connected, compassionate, and awake — even when the world feels overwhelming.

​If you’d like to hear more, you can listen back to my full conversation with him​ anytime ​here on Ready to be Real.


​* Dr. Gabor Maté is a retired physician and bestselling author known and loved for his ground-breaking medical work and writings. 

​In ​our full conversation we also explore parenting, we talk about illness and the lessons to be learnt through these often very difficult experiences and he also shares his insights regarding Ireland.
