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.
In Our Nature
A Fresh Look at Goals, Planning & Being Better Humans (Part 1)
It’s that time of year when we are bombarded with messages to set goals, review our year, make plans for the next year, improve ourselves and generally be better humans. We are told that if we set and meet goals, we will feel good.
Huh.
Is that true? Let’s do some poking around these internalised ideas in another two-parter!
Come and explore:
- Why we are obsessed with goal-setting and planning
- Why and how we set goals, and why this may be making us miserable
- What traditional goal-setting gets wrong
- The enormous missing piece in all of this
- …and a teeny bit of homework before Part 2 to help you unlock some of this stuff for yourself
