In Our Nature

Feeling Stuck? It’s Because One of Your Most Crucial Human Skills Is Going Extinct


Listen Later

Another title for this pod could be: "My clients are complaining that I don't fix them fast enough"

Today we're poking around how our click-and-collect, same day delivery, frenetic consumer mindset has infiltrated everything, including how we do therapy, coaching, rest, and healing....and how this is all causing the the quiet but catastrophic extinction of one of our key human capacities....patience.

Join me to explore:

  • Why your impatience is getting worse (me too) 
  • How colonial-capitalist systems rewired us to hate slowness, uncertainty, and process
  • What we lose when we lose patience  (hint: a lot, and it's important )
  • The myth of instant transformation... and what change actually asks of us
  • How living systems (like you and me) actually metabolise change, and why it can’t be rushed
  • What Nature says about all this (begrudgingly, of course...she's grumpy with me today)

  • Nature likes The Rolling Stones ...of course.

  • I write on Substack too—come hang out there if you wanna.
  • Everything I do is by donation or gift. You can donate to support my work here if you want (thank you, amazing person)
