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.
In Our Nature
How to Answer Your Own Questions When Everything Is Confusing and Weird
Join me to explore how we can answer our questions, solve our problems and get clarity and guidance from within.
We often want to seek guidance and counsel from others when we're unsure of the way forward, but getting a feel for our own inner guide, and learning to trust it, can be transformative.
Luckily, we humans are perfectly equipped with the features that guide us to clarity... although very few of us know or trust this.
This episode will explore:
- Where do solutions and answers come from?
- What's your role in finding clarity (and what is most certainly NOT your role)?
- How there is no 'right way' to solve our problems and answer our questions ...but we'll explore some steps anyway as a jumping-off point
- A bonus step for those that need a little extra rigour when it comes to understanding the nature of thought
- Lots of metaphors including blueprints, ingredients and axe-man ice sculptures
- Anxious Alice has a cool insight
