Unruly By Nature Episode One
Welcome to Unruly by Nature — the podcast where dogs, plants, and a good dose of humour remind us that life is often messily imperfectly perfect.
WELCOME IN
We’re three friends — intuitive guides, animal communicators, and botanical self-healing practitioners — coming together to share what we’ve learned from our dogs, from the natural world, and from our own journeys of self-discovery.
Here, there’s no pressure to “get it right,” no expectation for everything to be polished or pristine. We let conversations flow — sometimes deep, sometimes wild, always real. And definitely rooted in the wisdom of life’s experiences. We talk about presence, plant medicine, perspective shifts, and enjoy the freedom that comes when we simply allow our dogs to be dogs — and ourselves to be… human.
So, grab a cup of tea, take a deep breath, and join us as we celebrate the unruly, imperfectly perfect beauty of life — one pawprint at a time.
In this debut episode of Unruly by Nature, the conversation flows like jazz — unscripted, playful, and full of unexpected wisdom. What begins as a light-hearted riff about disliking jazz music evolves into a deeper exploration of assumptions, flexibility, and perspective shifts.
Kim, Sue, and Rachel share personal stories about dogs, plants, and life itself, uncovering how curiosity and presence can transform rigid “shoulds” into authentic experiences.
From dogs untangling balls of wool to the way we label people (and ourselves), the discussion invites listeners to pause, notice, and meet both their dogs and themselves as if for the first time — every day.
✨ Key Points
Rethinking assumptions — how quick judgments (about music, scents, people, or dogs) can close us off, and the value of curiosity in shifting perspective.
Flexibility vs. rigidity — exploring how freedom comes when we loosen expectations of our dogs and ourselves.
Meeting dogs (and people) anew — every day brings a chance to see with fresh eyes rather than labels and preconceptions.
The “shoulds” trap — societal pressure and self-imposed rules often distance us from what’s real and present.
The wisdom of dogs and plants — both guide us toward presence, self-exploration, and embodied living.
Self-expression and play — allowing dogs (and ourselves) the space to explore, express, and discover is where growth and connection flourish.
Life hacks vs. lived experience — shortcuts can rob us of embodied learning; mistakes and exploration often bring the richest lessons.
