Lately, the world feels louder than ever—so much noise, so much distraction—that it’s tempting to tuck away our gifts like seeds stored on a shelf for a “better” day.

But what if the time to plant those seeds is now?

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.

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.
