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 Our Human Experience Works

In the first ever episode of the Inner Peace & Other Cool Shit podcast, we're jumping straight into an exploration of how us humans experience life
Have you ever wondered how you experience life? Like, what even is our experience and where does it come from? Are we just at the mercy of whatever crap is thrown at us? Huh? Good news - no we are not.
Come and explore:
- Why understanding how something works (including ourselves) changes everything
- How we think our experience is created
- Where our experience actually comes from
- Why understanding this is helpful, awesome, brilliant, cool, totally rad and other superfluous synonyms when it comes to finding freedom from anxiety, overwhelm and worry
- How to see this for yourself
Plus! Meet Anxious Alice. She's coming on the ride with us.
