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
"All Of This" (gestures around wildly) "Is Not in Our Nature"
Welcome to the first episode of In Our Nature, where we explore the invisible forces, currents and stories shaping our inner and outer worlds.
In the episode today:
- An intro to the pod, the questions we will ask and how it (and me) wants to serve you
- Reflection on the shift from the Inner Peace & Other Cool Shit podcast and the natural evolution of the podcast’s themes.
- Asking why are we so busy, anxious, and overwhelmed in a world full of time-saving technology?
- The importance of context in shaping our experiences and understanding the world. How context influences our thoughts, beliefs, and the questions we ask.
- Preview of upcoming themes: the role of thought in shaping our world, the invisible currents at play, and how to reconnect with what is truly in our nature.
- Introducing the idea of the cosmological context pie
- ....and I am joined by a very special guest who has some constructive feedback.
If you would like to see yourself and the world a little more clearly, please join me for this new season.
