Liz Scott

It's a season of release — a time to let go and create space for what's yet to come. In today's 5 Minutes in Nature, Liz Scott reflects on the falling autumn leaves, seeing in them a powerful metaphor for spiritual growth. Just as trees shed the old to make way for new life, we too must clear what no longer serves us so that something fresh can take root..

It's time to redirect your focus from what's out of reach to what's within your power.

In today's 5 Minutes in Nature, Liz reflects on the importance of appreciating what she is able to do.

She notices how easy it is to slip into comparison with others, wishing she had their strengths or talents.

But today, she recognises that the real power lies in focusing on what she can do — and that this is what truly matters.

What does it feel like to move from a place of invisibility into one of visibility?

So often, women in their fifties and sixties are expected to retreat quietly into the background, fading into the shadows rather than stepping forward with the wisdom and strength they carry.

But what if the opposite were true?

Today, Liz reflects on the immense value that is lost when older women are overlooked, their voices unheard and their contributions unrecognised.

She invites us to consider how much richer the world could be if we truly honoured and embraced the experience, perspective, and power that women in this stage of life have to offer.

It's so important to trust your inner compass instead of getting caught up in the stories you tell yourself.

When you notice your mind spiralling with "what ifs," that's the moment to pause and reconnect with your inner guidance.

In this 5 Minutes in Nature, Liz reflects on the power of choosing love — and the difference it makes in how we listen and respond.

If you often feel the urge to offer advice or fix other people's problems — pause. In today's reflective 5 Minutes In Nature, Liz explores the hidden pitfalls of giving advice. She explains how it can sometimes leave the other person feeling frustrated or confined. Instead, Liz reminds us that the most powerful form of support is simple: just listen. Truly listening is enough.

Watching your child becoming immersed in mental distress can be so frightening for parents. What can you do? How can you best support them?

In this podcast Liz Scott speaks to someone who regularly engages with young people and parents. Marie Arymar gives an overview of how to assess the situation with a young person. During this conversation Liz and Marie discuss 7 ways to support the child. Here is a run down of the points they discuss:

1. Listen deeply. Don't try to fix them or rationalise. Just listen. 2. Love them unconditionally even if their behaviour is mean or nasty. 3. Remember your beautiful child is still there - celebrate the moments of connection 4. Boundaries are important. Young people feel safe when they know the expectations. 5. As parents, keep communicating. Back each other up and support one another. 6. What if I'm separated from the other parent? Find a way to speak to each other. Consider how to put your differences aside to ensure you can both support the child. 7. Know 'this will pass' - it might be frightening to feel you're losing the child you once knew. Trust this will pass.

It's also so important to look after yourself and to realise that you're doing a good job (even if it doesn't always feel that way).

Are you scared that your youngster may be taking drugs? What can you do about it? How do you talk to them about it?

In this podcast Liz Scott speaks to someone who regularly engages with young people and parents. Marie Arymar gives an overview of how to assess the situation with a young person. During this conversation Liz and Marie discuss:

• The importance of taking stock - ask yourself 'What is going on with my child?'
• Consider why the youngster is taking drugs? Is it masking something, is he/she keeping in with the crowd?
• What boundaries do you have with your child around drugs?
• Is your child getting mixed messages about what is or isn't acceptable?
• Is your fear getting in the way of connecting with them? Do you ask questions which causes them to shut down?
• Be present and aware that your young person, the one you deeply love and care for, is still there. They are not their behaviour. Give yourself time to connect with them in ordinary ways.

If you're waking up to the climate crisis, the disintegration of the natural world and the fragility of our planet... then you probably feel a sense of urgency, insecurity and helplessness.

At least that's what I felt when 2 years ago the climate crisis hit me between the eyes. For years it had been a periphery thing - it was something that other people were getting worked up about. Then suddenly the enormity and reality of it landed.

In this interview with Kimberley Hare we head towards a heart-based exploration and explore 'What is mine to do?' rather than 'what is going wrong?'

During this interview Kimberley refers to 7 questions to ask yourself when you are reflecting on what you're being asked to do. We don't go into detail with these questions in the conversation - but she sent them on following the interview.

The questions are as follows.

Here are SEVEN POWERFUL QUESTIONS: RESILIENCE – What is it that we most value and how can we keep that? How can we build and sustain our resilience – both inner and outer? What's MOST important now? RELINQUISHMENT – What can we give up in order not to make matters worse? RESTORATION – What can we bring back that has been lost? RECONCILIATION/RECONNECTION – What can we do to make peace with, love and support others? How can we live with kindness, joy and peace? RECLAMATION – What power could we collectively reclaim to reduce harm and improve possibilities? REVERENCE – What do you want me to know? Who do you want me to be? What do you want me to do? (Asked of source, or the universe, or Gaia) RE-IMAGINING – What's the story of my life that I'm proud to tell now – no matter what happens? How can we imagine and create the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible?
