In Our Nature
Absolutely everything is interconnected in astonishing dynamic ways that we are only beginning to understand, including our mental and planetary wellbeing.
The In Our Nature explores these connections, along with the unseen but profoundly influential currents, systems, cycles, patterns, stories, and constructs that shape both our inner lives and the world around us.
Why are we the way we are? Why are we treating the world and each other in the ways we do? Why do we feel so rubbish? Is this in our nature? What's going on?
Join me, Siobhán Friel, your host and fellow wanderer, as we curiously fondle the places where environmental, societal, historical, ecological and mythological contexts meet and mingle.
The In Our Nature pod wants to shed light on the hidden connections and deeper patterns that are shaping this extraordinary time we are in, helping us see more clearly as we make our way forth. Come and join me.

From the Archives: Your Brain Is (Still) Just Being a Brain
I'm plucking a popular early episode out of the vault, dusting it off and serving it like an aged cheese.
For those that haven't heard this one, join me-from-ages-ago to explore:
- The normal ways a brain behaves
- Why a brain being a brain is not a problem to be solved
- How understanding this can transform our relationship to anxiety, worrying and overthinking
- What does Anxious Alice think about a brain being a brain? Is she even listening?
- Also, we possibly set a record for the number of times the word 'dog' is said in one podcast episode
What's your relationship style with your brain? Take the quiz at siobhanfriel.com/quiz
If you experience a ton of negative thinking, catastrophising, ruminating and unwanted comparison and judgement, then congratulations! You have a healthy human brain. Yay
Back again soon with a new episode.
