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.

"The Peace & Calm You Want Is Right There....Really" with Lisa Esile
I loved having Lisa Esile as my special guest on the Inner Peace & Other Cool Shit podcast.
As well as being a writer and author, Lisa specialises in helping people navigate challenges, understand what their mind is really up to, and tap into their inner strengths and insights. Lisa is also the founder of the Do Nothing meditation school.
She is also bloody delightful and I loved hanging out with her. This conversation lingered with me long after we said goodbye.
Please join us to explore:
- A heartfelt discussion on the incessant chatter of the mind and its desire to control, narrate and manage every darn thing
- Lisa’s "Year of Silence" experiment and the challenge of quieting the mind
- How our pursuit of peace is impacted by the societal emphasis on constant productivity
- How our inner calm is a lot closer than we think and how we need to do a lot less to uncover it
- How intuition is an overlooked yet powerful force in a productivity-driven society that reveres intellectual analysis
- How and why to tune in to your own inner voice
Lisa also offers beautiful responses to questions about managing energy levels when one has a family, chronic illness and business, and how the themes that this episode (and show) are based on can even help with the global challenges we all face now.
