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 Have an Inner Compass to Guide Us Through an Uncertain Future” With Rebecca Gardner
Today I am joined by Certified Change Coach, meditation teacher, loving mother and delightful human Rebecca Gardner.
Becca guides people in transforming their relationship with their minds and came to the work she now does through her own journey of anxiety, overthinking and worry which many listeners may resonate with.
Join us to explore:
- The role of thought in creating our fear of the future
- How an understanding of our minds might help when it comes to navigating longer term, enormous issues such as economic and climate breakdown
- The inner compass and voice of wisdom that each of us has
- Recognising, trusting and cultivating the wisdom of our children in particular
- The nature of overwhelm
- …and much more, including musing on what a turtle might say is the secret to life.
Find Becca at her website (https://www.themissingpeacecotswolds.com/) or Instagram @missingpeacecotswolds or on Insight Timer where she is a mentor and teacher:
