#86 Apocalypse Now; Stewardship for the Future

This week on Nonsense in the Chaos, I recorded sat back up in my favourite tree, Satine... or what remains of her. She took the full force of this winter's storms and though she's still alive, just, she stands now in a different form.  Sitting beneath her in the heat, I found myself reflecting on the strange threshold we seem to be standing in as a species. The air feels different. The seasons feel different. The stories we tell ourselves about tomorrow feel different. We often imagine the apocalypse as a sudden event: sirens, collapse, fire falling from the sky. But what if this is it? What if apocalypse, in its truest meaning, is not the end of the world but an unravelling? A revelation. The slow and undeniable uncovering of where we are and what we have forgotten. In Apocalypse Now; Stewardship for the Future, I explore what might be asked of us now. If the world is changing around us, perhaps our task is not simply to survive it, but to remember how to belong again. To learn all we can. To preserve wisdom wherever we find it. To understand the old ways of being in relationship with land, story and season. To embody them. To become stewards rather than consumers. Because if something is ending, something else is asking to begin.

#85 Gathering of Roots; Witchfool Reflections

This week on Nonsense in the Chaos, I’m gathering the roots. The Witchfool Are You? journey began on Monday and already something fascinating is unfolding. Sometimes we think we’re leading the ritual, holding the space or guiding the path, but then life quietly turns and reveals that something is leading us too. In this episode I’m reflecting on the threads, synchronicities and whispers that are beginning to emerge through the course... the things the universe seems to be showing me through the people gathering around it, through the archetypes appearing, and through the deeper roots beneath the surface of what I thought this journey was about. An episode about listening beneath the noise, trusting the universe and letting the flow carry you.  Tea in hand recommended.

#84 Cradled by Your Love; Running Away to Satine the Beacon Tree

This week on Nonsense in the Chaos, I climbed a tree. After finding myself peopled out and carrying the lingering sadness that can follow when alcohol leaves our closest relationships feeling a little bruised and out of tune, I spent the day perched among the branches, seeking refuge in the way I always have. From childhood memories of running away into nature and escaping the pressures of school, to reflections on the complicated dance of connection, solitude and belonging, this is an episode about finding your way back to yourself when life feels a little tangled. High in the canopy, I interview the tree I call Satine. Through three tarot cards, Satine offers her wisdom, and what begins as a playful conversation slowly unfolds into exactly the advice I needed to hear. An episode about trees, childhood, sadness, healing, and the quiet guidance that appears when we stop long enough to listen.

#83 Facing Your Demons of the Abyss

This week on Nonsense in the Chaos, we're venturing into the abyss. Not the dramatic, mythic kind filled with monsters and ancient gods... but the very real places within ourselves we'd rather avoid. For me, the demon waiting in the dark is money. The stories I carry about worth, security, success and scarcity have a habit of resurfacing whenever I think I've finally made peace with them. Yet every descent into the underworld offers the same invitation: to stop running, turn around, and meet what is chasing us. Together we'll explore what it means to face our personal demons, why the abyss so often appears before transformation, and how the things we fear most can become our greatest teachers. So what waits for you in the dark? Join me as we step into the depths and discover what treasures might be hidden there.

#82 Nurturing Curiosity; AJ and Exploring the Healing Power of Nature

This week on Nonsense in the Chaos, I’m joined by the wonderful AJ... a curious soul walking the delicate line between care, academia, activism and joy. Working within the NHS as a mental health nurse supporting families in a deeply pressured system, AJ brings both compassion and honesty to the conversation. Currently completing the first two years of her doctorate, with her thesis beginning in September, AJ’s research explores how healthcare staff can help reconnect people with nature, and why that matters so profoundly in a time of climate crisis and collective burnout. We talk about climate justice, the healing power of the natural world, dancing, festivals, learning, and what it means to celebrate the sheer privilege of being alive amidst the chaos of modern life. A thoughtful, grounded and quietly inspiring conversation.
