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
From the Archives: Your Experience Is Always Moving (And Why This Matters)
I'm plucking a popular early episode out of the archives, dusting it off and serving it with a side of my fresh-this-morning opinion.
Everything is always changing: out there in the world and inside you. Our thoughts, feelings, moods, perspectives, ideas, emotions, opinions and everything else are constantly on the move.
For those that haven't heard this one, join me-from-ages-ago to explore:
- Why it SEEMS like we are stuck in life, and how it's actually impossible to actually BE stuck
- How seeing the constantly changing nature of ....every darn thing ever!....helps us relate to anxiety, panic and overwhelm in a completely new way
- How to explore this more in your own life to find a new freedom
- Anxious Alice makes up a new term (bucket-gazing)
