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.

"We Will Always, Always Find Our Way Back" With Erika Bugbee
How wonderful to have Erika Bugbee as my special guest on the Inner Peace & Other Cool Shit podcast.
Erika specialises in working with teens, young adults, and parents through her global coaching practice. She also trains and mentors practitioners, as well as speaking and presenting at international conferences about finding more resilience and peace of mind, and navigating stress and uncertainty.
I loved hanging out with Erika; this conversation really illuminates the amazing way we humans find our way back from frenzied overthinking and anxiety.
Please join us to explore:
- The fresh way Erika works with young people and families
- How seeing the 'wise person' beneath all the noise can change everything (and how to do it)
- The incredible design all humans have 'pre-installed', and how understanding this and recognising it in ourselves and each other is transformational
- How to truly deal with a problem by seeing it in a new way
- Innocent 'parenting projections', overcompensating, and what to try instead
- The importance of recognising when you're in a reactive state and what the signs are (clue: everything feels impossible)
- How coming to peace with issues first allows for fresh resolutions and solutions
