In Our Nature

Shedding the Stories That No Longer Make Sense (Even When It's Hard & Lonely)


Listen Later

In a horrifying-but-necessary act of intimacy, I am inviting you to join me on a journey of shedding in today’s episode

Nature shows us that death is food. Decay is enrichment for what’s next. 

What is dying in you? What needs to be shed, to make space for life?

Join me for:

  • An update on my own journey since the last major one 18 months ago, and how it helps people waking up to the entangled systemic breakdown of systems and structures we see now
  • (If you’re new to me and all this, you can catch that in the epiosde: An Update For These Extraordinarily Precarious Times)
  • What I’ve learned from living between stories…the dominant cultural narrative of individualism and control, and the suppressed, ancient, interconnected wisdom that is undeniably calling me home
  • Why I am shedding my old roles, narratives, and professional orientations and what this actually means
  • The ongoing implications of realising that my work, and the mental health/coaching/self-help-industrial complex at large often (innocently) upholds the very systems that are driving destruction of the planet 
  • How the dominant story itself makes us feel like we don't belong in the new one, keeping us isolated, lonely, and stuck
  • What a family-wide neurodivergence diagnosis journey, deep ecology, Celtic cosmologies, exploration of Te Ao Māori and a natal moon in my 8th whole sign house of Aquarius has to do with any of this
