177. Breaking Out of the Mental Cage: Reclaiming Your Relationship with Nature with Julie Brams
Episode 161
Tuesday, 8 September, 2026
Are you living in a mental cage—separated from the earth right beneath your feet? In this week's episode of Holistic Inner Balance, we sit down with Julie Brams, a mental health clinician and Nautilus Award-winning author of The Nature-Embedded Mind: How the Way We Think Can Heal Our Planet and Ourselves. Julie shares how our modern framework conditions us away from our natural birthright: a deep, reciprocal relationship with the rest of nature. We talk about how the mind and body are not separate from the earth, and how "rerooting" your mind can downregulate your central nervous system to levels of calm you didn't know were possible. In this conversation, we explore: The Nature-Embedded Mind: Rediscovering the natural consciousness you were born with. Downregulating Your Nervous System: Why coming back into relationship with nature instantly reduces anxiety, stress, and depression. Overcoming the "Ego Pushback": How societal conditioning and shame keep us trapped in an artificial separation from the earth. Simple Invitations: Practical, sensory-based ways to re-engage with the environment right outside your door—or even in your shower! You don't need to be in a deep forest to connect; you are in nature 24/7 because you are in your body. 👉 Be sure to check out Julie’s book "The Nature-Embedded Mind" and visit her platform at ExperienceElemental.com to learn about her courses and private practice! 🌟 --- Additional Resources: 🤔 QUIZ: What Type of Anxiety Do You Deal With? 👉 Discover your Ayurveda mind-body constitution so you can work to balance it and optimize your health with this dosha quiz 💡Join Dr. Nicole's membership: The Holistic Wellness Collective 👉Learn more about Hadlee’s Happy Healthy Habits Coaching Program, a step-by-step program you've been searching for to actually follow through on your health and wellness goals 👉 Order Supplements Here 📖 Buy the book: PANIC PROOF: The New Holistic Solution to End Your Anxiety Forever 💻 Check out the available online courses: Ayurveda: The Key to Your Success Mapping Out Your Benzo Taper 💕 Stay connected with us: Dr. Nicole on Instagram Happy Healthy Hadlee on Instagram Dr. Nicole Cain, ND MA is a pioneer in integrative approaches for mental and emotional wellness.
