In Our Nature
Why do we feel so overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected and lost...and what does that have to do with what's happening on our planet?
This show explores the hidden connections and deeper patterns that are forming our inner struggles and the wider crises unfolding around us. From mental health to ecological collapse, productivity culture to planetary grief, from burnout to reconnection, join me to poke around in the stories, systems and patterns shaping this extraordinary time...
...and then let's riff on what becomes possible when we stop pretending it’s fine and feel the feels.
Your host is me: Siobhán Friel. I'm a mental health practitioner, a Work That Reconnects facilitator and I was probably a lavender plant in a past life.
This podcast offers a way to make sense of your inner and outer world, especially if you were shaped by capitalism (like me) and not by a lineage of ecological literacy, love and wisdom.
You haven't missed the boat. There are many boats and this is one. Get in.

"A Mind Is Constantly Trying To Tell a Story About What We Feel" with special guest Dr Amy Johnson
It’s our very first guest episode on the show and WHAT A GUEST! I have mentioned Dr Amy Johnson in a number of episodes so it was a dream to chat with her. Dr Amy is a coach, teacher, author, psychologist, speaker and all-round-amazing human. She’s an expert on helping people end habits and anxiety with her no-willpower approach and it was through Amy’s work that I first came to the understanding that I share on the show.
