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.

Ep.114 Healing the Original Trauma: Disconnection with Julie Brams

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.112 Allow Your Essence to Evolve with Elly Yule

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

Ep.111 Reclaiming Your Wildness Without Losing Yourself

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
➡️ Learn why community and integration matter after any plant medicine or transformational experience

Ep.110 Evolving Wild with Eric Inman

Have you ever entered a room and immediately felt a sense of calm and safety? In this episode, I sit down with sensory interior designer Stephanie Jackson to explore how trauma-informed design can transform our living spaces into sanctuaries that support our nervous systems and cater to neurodivergent needs.

This conversation offers valuable perspectives on creating spaces that nurture and heal.

Topics Covered about NeuroDivergent Interior Design
➡️ Why designing for your nervous system is more than a luxury—it’s a necessity.
➡️ The difference between biophilic trends and truly supportive space design.
➡️ How plants and lighting help regulate neurodivergent bodies.
➡️ The role of personalization in creating healing environments for yourself and others.

Ep.108 My Way Back to Consciousness with Bonnie D'Arcangelo 

Have you ever wondered what myths would sound like if the plants told the story? In this episode, I sit down with ecofeminist researcher and myth-reweaver Wendy Wuyts to explore how storytelling can reshape our relationship with plants, complexity, and ourselves. 

Together, we uncover the value of deep listening, narrative intelligence, and rewilded storytelling as tools for healing, resistance, and reconnection in a fragmented world.

If you’re someone who lives between science and spirit, between research and ritual—this episode will feel like home.

Topics Covered about mythology and ecofeminism
➡️ Why myth and narrative are vital tools for healing trauma and reshaping cultural memory.
➡️ How ecofeminist retellings center plants as conscious agents in ancient stories.
➡️ What the Tree of Duality and Snake archetypes reveal about complexity, knowledge, and power.
➡️ The importance of slow hope and multidimensional storytelling in conscious evolution.

Ep.107 ReWilding Mythology with Wendy Wuyts

I’ve been sitting with this episode for a while. Honestly, it scared me—because it asked me to revisit my past relationship with anger and how I’ve transformed it. For a long time, I either lashed out or shut down. I didn’t know how to express criticism without burning bridges—or how to fight for what mattered without destroying everything in my path.

In this episode, I explore how nature helped me reframe anger—not as a reaction, but as a sacred spark. Plants like kudzu, dandelion, and mistletoe taught me that taking up space, standing firm, or even disrupting the ecosystem can be acts of deep service. It’s not about balance—it’s about flow. Compassion and strength are not opposites. And righteous anger can be a force for regeneration.

Let’s talk about mastering your fire—so you don’t burn it all down, but light the path forward.

Topics Covered about anger and personal growth
➡️ Suppressing anger is not the same as choosing peace
➡️ Nature uses aggression strategically—so can we
➡️ Righteous anger is a sacred motivator, not a weapon
➡️ Plants teach us how to disrupt and rebuild in harmony

Ep.106 Mastering the Fire Within: Using Anger Strategically

This conversation with Penelope Mavor took an unexpected—and beautiful—turn. We set out to talk about land-based leadership and Earth connection... and instead uncovered the deeper threads of solitude, sovereignty, and the paradox of being “solo together.”

Penelope and I reflect on our own practices, the myths of separateness, and why solitude isn't about isolation—it’s about reconnection.

This one’s for the sensitive leaders, the multipotentialites navigating inner noise, and anyone who’s forgotten that stillness is also a superpower.

➡️ “Solo Together” is a model for wholeness: sovereign AND interconnected.
➡️ Nature helps us attune without overwhelm—by softening into presence.
➡️ Real leadership starts with self—embodied, relational, and intuitive.
➡️ The land teaches in ways no human teacher can—through vibration and co-creation.
