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.

Anxiety Freedom: Big Fat Myths Debunked (Part 1)
Us humans seem to think that a journey to less anxiety and more peace will look a certain way. But that’s utter rubbish.
We think there’s a path to follow, and that path will have a certain timeline and certain steps and will feel a certain way.
Poppycock!
Come with me as we explore the common myths we encounter when we look in the direction of anxiety freedom. We’ll see why these myths even exist (clue: it’s our human brains!) and poke at them a bit to shake out the truth.
We’ll do a second part in a few episodes' time, giving you the chance to submit your own. Pop me an email at hello@siobhanfriel.com if you suspect you’ve been innocently believing a myth about anxiety freedom and inner peace.
