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.

How To Move Forward When You Don't Know What To Do
“Just don’t trust your thoughts when you’re feeling rubbish!” people like me seem to say, making it sound way too simple. Grrr for people like me. GRRRRRR!!!!
Because what about when you ALWAYS feel rubbish, particularly when feeling insecure and anxious around a certain thing like a relationship, your job, etc? What then? What do you DO then, if those thoughts can’t be trusted? How can you move forward?
Come and explore:
- Why it seems like our mind just never settles
- The made-up assumptions that make the problem seem enormous – keeping a mind stirred up
- How to see through these very-normal-and-very-human but very annoying little tricks of the mind
- Trusting that the clarity you want is right under your thinking (and let’s try and get you there)
And:
- What choice is Anxious Alice facing?
- I have a speedy mind right now too!
