Bewildered

By: Martha Beck and Rowan Mangan
  • Summary

  • What if we stopped listening to the controlling voice of the culture around us, and instead learned to reconnect with our own true nature?

    Sometimes we aren’t even sure why we feel so bewildered… and discontented… and even downright miserable. Often it’s because we have let the forces of society replace our own instinctive knowledge of what is right for us.

    Now, it’s time for us to find that voice again—before it’s too late.

    For Martha and Rowan, Job One is to live according to our deepest truths, making the commitment to feeling good even when it means looking weird. We believe that this is how we will reinvent our world—from the inside out— to create a society that’s kinder, more equitable, and more ecologically sustainable than the one we see around us right now.

    This is the vision that we laugh and stumble and chat and feel our way towards here on this podcast. Did we mention LAUGH? We want no part of personal and global transformation if it isn’t fun!

    So if you struggle to find a place where people who are as idealistic and brokenhearted, as silly and deeply sincere, as bewildered as you are—you might have just arrived.

    Welcome!

  • Don't Control Yourself
    Sep 18 2024

    We all have a "control mode" inside us that tells us if we don't tightly control everything, it's all going to go wrong. The only problem is...it's literally impossible to control everything!

    Sometimes a little control is necessary, but often it's the opposite of what we need. And control kills the creativity we need to solve our problems.

    So if you've been trying really hard to control things, and you could use some tips on how to let go of control, join Martha and Ro for this episode of Bewildered!

  • Not Everything Has to Have a Point
    Aug 21 2024

    Do you enjoy making shiny, pretty things—or, as Martha and Ro like to call them, “precious, pointless” things?

    These can be anything you make for the sheer enjoyment of creating, rather than for making money (which our culture believes is the only "point" to anything).

    Join Martha and Ro for this inspiring episode of Bewildered to learn how making shiny, pretty, pointless things can help you become more attuned to the beauty all around you—in people, in objects, in nature…and in your own wild soul.
