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.

'The Limitless Potential that Lies Beyond Our Habitual Thinking' with Sarah Armitage and Michelle McCartan
What an honour to have Sarah Armitage and Michelle McCartan as my special guests on the Inner Peace & Other Cool Shit podcast.
Both Sarah and Michelle are masterful coaches and facilitators with their own practices working with leaders and organisations. In 2023 they came together to create Pure Potential, a unique offering designed to explore the limitless potential of humans through a shared developmental experience.
Sarah and Michelle have a special synergy and I love knowing there are people like these two in the world.
Please join us to explore:
- The principles behind the work Sarah and Michelle do with leaders and organisations, and why their approach is particularly impactful
- The implications of these principles when it comes to realising our own experience of peace, ease and flow
- How to manage the ubiquity of labels and concepts in life
- Recognising the innate intelligence we all share
- The power of 'obviousness' when it comes to being guided in life
- How some of these ideas might help communities, and why that even matters
- Where one might start exploring these ideas
- ...and so, so much more
Sarah and Michelle also make me laugh with delight - and splutter with shocked speechlessness - with their clear and simple wisdom, and eloquent descriptions and reflections. They also offer an insightful and thoughtful response to a listener's question about a debilitating workplace culture.
