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.

That Calm Mind You Yearn For? The Books, Courses, Coaching & Podcasts Might Not Be Helping (Including This One)
Today's episode is asking you to check in with yourself to see if the podcasts, courses, books and so on are helping with your enjoyment of life and your journey of less anxiety and more peace.
And if not? I’m offering you a sneaky exit.
Join me to explore:
- Why you might want to leave behind the “helpful consumption” of solutions to anxiety and other feelings
- How real insights and epiphanies often come from lived experiences rather than theoretical understanding
- Signs you might be ready to just take what you have and get out there, including an overemphasis on understanding concepts before taking action, attempting to reconcile different ideas and paradigms and feeling the need to have an insight before making changes in life
- Realising you have a “magic car” and what that means for the ride of life
- Ok, the above sounded like an icky cliche but I shall leave it in
- …And Anxious Alice says a wise thing
Thanks for listening. You rock.
