  • Ep.114 Healing the Original Trauma: Disconnection with Julie Brams
    Jun 29 2025

    This episode is a deep dive into healing what I call the "original trauma" — our collective disconnection from nature and ourselves. I talk with mental health expert Julie Brams about ecopsychology, forest therapy, and the emerging field she prefers to call Earth-centered psychology. We explore why modern psychology often misses this core disconnection and how reconnecting with the more-than-human world can be profoundly healing.

    If you’re ready to heal from disconnection and embrace your nature as nature, this conversation will light your path.

    Topics Covered about Earth-Centered Psychology
    ➡️ The original trauma is our artificial separation from Earth, fueling much of human suffering.
    ➡️ Ecopsychology and Earth-centered psychology focus on repairing this disconnect through nature-based practices.
    ➡️ Forest therapy is about nature leading the healing, with guides facilitating connection, not control.
    ➡️ Rediscovering embodied sensing beyond words helps us reconnect deeply, even amid modern technology.
    ➡️ Julie’s book The Nature-Embedded Mind invites us to explore a new way of thinking that can heal ourselves and the planet.


    Chapters
    00:00 Opening – Meeting the original wound
    08:04 Nature, Zen, and trauma therapy
    16:04 Dismantling the dominance model in therapy
    24:18 Listening with full-body perception
    32:25 Embracing darkness and shadow work
    40:29 Reconnection in a modern world
    48:29 The trauma of systemic gaslighting

  • Ep.113 Meeting the Gaze of a Wild Being with Eleanor O'Hanlon
    Jun 22 2025

    What happens when a wild animal truly sees you? In this episode, I sit down with Eleanor O’Hanlon—writer, conservationist, and lover of wild places—to explore that exact moment. Our conversation weaves through her soul-awakening encounters with whales, wolves, and ancient forests, revealing how true recognition between species cracks open a deeper truth: we are beings of nature, not separate from it.

    This episode is about returning to a more ancient, embodied way of knowing.

    If you’ve ever felt unseen in a world built for conformity, this conversation invites you to remember your place in the wild and welcome the magic of mutual recognition with other kin.

    Topics Covered about Wild Animal Communication
    ➡️ True connection begins with allowing yourself to be seen—fully and energetically—by other kin.
    ➡️ Eleanor shares profound stories of traveling in walrus-skin boats and meeting the gaze of whales and wolves.
    ➡️ Trees remember, communicate, and respond when we bring them our lived experiences.
    ➡️ Being a bridge species means holding space for relationship across time, space, and species.

  • Ep.111 Reclaiming Your Wildness Without Losing Yourself
    Jun 8 2025

    I've been reflecting deeply on wildness—not as chaos, but as a core intelligence that’s been buried under all the roles, rules, and routines we’ve been taught to follow. In this solo episode, I explore what it really means to reclaim that wild essence—not by breaking everything down, but by building a life that can actually hold it.

    Drawing wisdom from plant kin like cattail and aspen, I share how movement, presence, and relational flow can reconnect you to your true nature. When you stop trying to fit into systems that were never designed for you, you begin to create the kind of internal structure that sustains you—emotionally, creatively, spiritually.

    This is about stepping out of survival mode and into something more nourishing. Your wildness isn’t the thing holding you back—it’s the guide showing you how to grow.


    Topics Covered about Reclaiming Your Wildness
    ➡️ Wildness is a relational force that guides authentic growth
    ➡️ Plants like cattail and aspen model emotional presence and grounded adaptability
    ➡️ Structure isn’t restriction—it’s the vessel that supports creative flow
    ➡️ Reclaiming your wildness is key to building a life that sustains you

    Chapters
    00:00 – Welcome & Why Wildness Matters
    07:30 – Facing the Fear of Your Own Wild Edge
    15:00 – Shadow Traits: Compasses, Not Enemies

  • Ep.110 Evolving Wild with Eric Inman
    Jun 1 2025

    I laughed a lot in this one—not because it was funny, but because there’s something deeply disarming about talking with someone like Eric Inman. In this episode, we explore what it really means to be in communion with nature—specifically with rivers—and how reawakening our wild selves can shift everything.

    This is an episode about feeling your way into truth, remembering you are nature, and learning to dance with the wild rather than dominate it. Whether you’ve been craving deeper integration after a breakthrough or you’re just starting to question the disconnected world you live in, this one’s for you.

    Topics Covered about Ecopsychology and plant medicine
    ➡️ Explore psilocybin therapy in nature as a powerful tool for reconnecting to your soul and rewilding your nervous system
    ➡️ Understand river consciousness and how water can serve as a guide for emotional regulation and intuitive decision-making
    ➡️ Break free from ego-based survival patterns by embodying your authentic self in communion with Nature
