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.

You’re The Best Person To Call Bullsh*t On All That Anxiety Advice
If you are struggling with ....well, anything....it's natural you'll want some help from those who think they can provide it. Yay for helpful things!
Guess what, though? You have your own internal bullshit detector which can sniff out the things which aren't helpful for you, and can guide you toward a more peaceful experience of life.
(But don't take my word for it, eh?)
Come and explore:
- Why - of course! - we seek help from others when we feel rubbish or think we have a problem
- How others try to help us and why blinding following their advice isn't always the best thing for us
- How 'helping ourselves' is actually easier than we think
- How to seek guidance while also feeling confident to call bullshit on the stuff which doesn't resonate with you
And:
- Anxious Alice has a great example of 'expert help' which didn't ring true for her
- Am I allowed to put 'bullshit' in the title without an asterisk? What's the rule? Lemme know
- The next hangout is on 28th September! Coming? Pop your name onto my friends list at siobhanfriel.com/subscribe or get the details from https://siobhanfriel.com/hangout/
