In Our Nature
Absolutely everything is interconnected in astonishing dynamic ways that we are only beginning to understand, including our mental and planetary wellbeing.
The In Our Nature explores these connections, along with the unseen but profoundly influential currents, systems, cycles, patterns, stories, and constructs that shape both our inner lives and the world around us.
Why are we the way we are? Why are we treating the world and each other in the ways we do? Why do we feel so rubbish? Is this in our nature? What's going on?
Join me, Siobhán Friel, your host and fellow wanderer, as we curiously fondle the places where environmental, societal, historical, ecological and mythological contexts meet and mingle.
The In Our Nature pod wants to shed light on the hidden connections and deeper patterns that are shaping this extraordinary time we are in, helping us see more clearly as we make our way forth. Come and join me.

What a Weird Coincidence That Both Our Mental Health and the Earth’s Systems Are More Fragile Than Ever (It’s Like We Are Intimately Connected or Something)
You know how we humans can fall apart or lose our sh*t when under too much pressure, stress, or neglect?
Ever noticed that that’s what’s happening to our planet, too?
The effects of biodiversity loss and climate breakdown are being felt in many places and we humans are breaking down, collapsing, and having meltdowns too. Coincidence? Of course not.
Today we’re looking at the striking parallels between our personal mental health and the planet’s wellbeing.
Join me to explore:
- The natural connections that bind us to our world …
- …and why it matters that we wake up to our intimate connection to the planet
- How the Earth’s limits, boundaries and responses can be seen in our own mental and emotional behaviours and tipping points
- The forces that undermine both planetary and mental flourishing
- How we might even BEGIN to start to turn toward a world where life and health are prioritised over profit, power, accumulation and greed
- What does Nature have to say about all this and what melancholy song will she pick?
