    32: The Best of Season 1

    This week on As Me, Sinéad shares some of her favorite moments from Season 1 that reflect the essence of the show. From talking about imposter syndrome with Florence Welch and Riz Ahmed to self-acceptance with Justin Tranter and Akilah Hughes to letting go of perfectionism with Adwoa Aboah. Each of these moments captures the power of connection and vulnerability in every episode, all of which help us to understand and empathize with each other more.

Ruth Rocks

I’ve tweeted you about this but I think Ruth is just so cool and unbelievably talented. As a disabled man I love seeing people like yourself and Ruth doing amazing things.

Great podcast

The conversations flow really well. Great to have such a variety of people to listen to from Victoria Beckham to Riz Ahmed. Fabulous open and real conversations from the guests about their lives.

Sadhbhbhbhbh ,

Listen to this podcast if you want to be a better person:)

The most inspiring and enlightening podcast I’ve ever listened to. Even when interviewing household names who never leave media spotlight, Sinéad manages to somehow draw something entirely new, personal and vulnerable from them. Each conversation genuinely leaves me feeling enlightened and educated, and I try to take some of it with me in my own day to day then after. It’s a weekly dose of something entirely unique and inspiring. I couldn’t recommend it enough. Go Sinéad.
