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
But What About When An Actual Bad Thing Happens?
If you are like: "yeah, I kinda see anxiety and worry is just a speedy mind but what about when a Real Life Bad Thing Happens?"...then this is the episode for you.
Come and explore:
- Bad Things are part of being human and we'll all feel pain (sorry)...but we don't have to suffer
- What even is a Bad Thing?
- How do we innocently make a thing Bad?
- How to see the nature of experience in a new way to help navigate times of f*cking terribleness
- All explored through a very questionable metaphor of lakes and hailstones
- ...with free cuddles at the end
