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
An Update For These Extraordinarily Precarious Times
Offered as a companion episode to the just-released "Shedding the Stories That No Longer Make Sense (Even When It's Hard & Lonely)" for those who may be newer listeners to the show and wanted to hear an earlier part of my long journey
well..."long" to our accelerated capitalist society that doesn't respect or care for depth, rooting, steeping or descending, obvs, but just fraction of a moment in the cycles of nature
At the point of this original recording in early 2024 I was emerging from a dark but necessary period of my own collapse and I was seeing the unmistakable cracks in my industry as an anxiety coach and mental health practitioner.
Head to the shedding episode ("Shedding the Stories That No Longer Make Sense (Even When It's Hard & Lonely)" to understand what’s happened since then and how this helps others who are awakening to the illusions of their own worldview in our age or unraveling.
It’s great fun.
