Wild By Nature: Stories of Human Connection To The Wild

Wild By Nature is a nature podcast exploring how the natural world shapes our mental health, creativity, identity, wellbeing, leadership, and human connection. In a world that rarely slows down, many of us feel disconnected—from nature, from community, and from ourselves. Through thoughtful conversations and deeply human storytelling, Wild By Nature brings together scientists, environmental thinkers, authors, creatives, wellness experts, and changemakers to explore the powerful relationship between people and the natural world. The podcast translates big ideas about nature, environmental science, psychology, ecology, wellbeing, and human behavior into meaningful, accessible conversations listeners can feel and apply to everyday life. Hosted by thought leader and storyteller Vian Sharif, the show was inspired by a transformative experience in Kenya where reconnecting with nature brought a profound sense of clarity, purpose, and perspective. That experience sparked a deeper exploration into how nature influences the way we live, think, create, heal, and lead. Whether you're interested in mental health, nature connection, environmental storytelling, personal growth, mindfulness, creativity, or simply slowing down and living more intentionally, Wild By Nature offers space to reconnect—with the natural world, with one another, and with yourself.
