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.

"Security Is Built-In" with Christine Heath and Judy Sedgeman
I loved having Christine Heath and Judy Sedgeman as my special guests on the pod! Chris and Judy have been working with groups, individuals, couples and classes for - literally - decades to help them find freedom beyond their personal thinking and see life in a completely new way.
They also co-host the incredible podcast Psychology Has It Backwards, which completely reimagines mental health awareness and 'recovery' and is one of my favourite shows.
Chris and Judy have had an enormous influence on my work (and life!) and it was a sweaty-faced fan-girl moment to have them as my special guests on the show.
Please join us to explore:
- How and why does psychology have it backwards and what are the implications for seeing this?
- Finding freedom from anxiety and insecurity by looking toward how it’s created
- The power of a quiet mind and how slowing down IS possible even when our lives are outrageously busy and full and bursting at the seams
- Chris and Judy also give a beautiful answer to a question from a listener about ‘spirituality’ and what’s the big deal, and are they missing out if spirituality feels icky? (Or something like that)
- What would Chris and Judy bring to a picnic?
- What's their favourite memory of each other?
- ...and lots of other mind-melty wisdom
