    Bewildered

    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!

    Best of Bewildered: Beware Fake Urgency Jul 23, 2025
    Show notes

    “QUICK! DO THIS NOW! IT’S URGENT!”

    Do those words spike your pulse? We're constantly pressured to do things that serve the system, and we’re trained to think of these things as urgent. But are they?

    In this “Best of” episode of Bewildered, we dive into the topic of urgency: How there’s a type that will crush your soul and a type that will grow it—and how you can tell the difference.

    If you often find yourself responding frantically to problems which may or may not be urgent, this episode is for you!

    Best of Bewildered: All the Way to Heaven is Heaven Jul 09, 2025
    Show notes

    In our culture we’re socialized to believe that if we suffer enough, we’ll be rewarded later—and our reward will be happiness. In other words, happiness is something we have to earn through suffering.

    On this “Best of” episode of Bewildered, we challenge this cultural belief, inspired by the words of 14th century mystic St. Catherine of Siena who said, “All the way to heaven is heaven.”

    To hear more about this idea—and how you can experience happiness right now—join us for one of our favorite episodes!

    Best of Bewildered: On Burnout and Reset Jun 25, 2025
    Show notes

    Ever suffer from burnout? We certainly have, and we’re talking all about it on this “Best of” episode of Bewildered!

    Burnout is something our culture doesn’t allow because it expects us to be productive non-stop. However, our wild natures require “wintering” periods where we rest and reset.

    If you need to recover from burnout (or you want to preempt it), tune in for the full episode to hear our suggestions for getting ahead of burnout and resetting your body, mind, heart, and spirit.

    Best of Bewildered: When to Leave Jun 11, 2025
    Show notes

    “Should I stay, or should I go?”

    It’s an age-old dilemma, and we’re exploring it in this “Best of” episode of Bewildered!

    To figure out when to stay or leave, we must first examine our thoughts. Often our struggles come from our thoughts about our situation, rather than the situation itself—and our thoughts can be shifted once we get to a place of peace.

    To learn how to ground yourself, shift your thoughts, and use peace as a compass to make the best decisions for you, join us for the full conversation!

    Changed By the Path Itself May 28, 2025
    Show notes

    One way to deal with the constant, terrifying changes in all of our lives is to choose the worldview of a pilgrim—someone who doesn’t see life as a series of fixed positions but as a continuous, fluid process or journey.

    The journey itself is not what’s most important—it’s the way that the journey changes you that matters.

    In this episode of Bewildered, we’re talking about how to live your life as a sacred pilgrimage, let yourself be guided, and allow the journey to write the story of you. Join us!

    Out-Kind the Culture Apr 30, 2025
    Show notes

    Kindness. Our culture often frames it as something weak, naive, foolish, or passive—and there’s a reason for that. If we stay “nice” and subscribe to the culture’s idea of kindness, then we stay obedient and easier to control.

    So in this episode of Bewildered, we get ultra-revolutionary around kindness. We’re talking about the most radical type of kindness—kindness toward one’s self—and how it’s a force that can change our cultural systems of cruelty to create the revolution we want. Come join us!

    How to Train Your Human Apr 16, 2025
    Show notes

    At the beginning of this game called life, we each get a human—a body that we get to steer through the world.

    In this episode of Bewildered, we’re talking about the idea of “training your human”—because you are not your body, mind, or personality, but rather a consciousness that inhabits your human form.

    If you can gently guide your human instead of forcing it to conform to culture, then your human can thrive while still being able to function in the world.

    War of the Worldviews Apr 02, 2025
    Show notes

    Have you ever been drawn into conspiratorial thinking?

    In this Episode 99 of Bewildered, we’re talking about how easy it is to get pulled into conspiracy theories because of a phenomenon called apophenia. It's the tendency to perceive connections or meaningful patterns between unrelated or random things—and it happens to feel delightful.

    Want to learn more about apophenia, conspiracy theories, fractured worldviews, and how we can all come to our senses? Join us for this episode of the Bewildered podcast!

    Your Money or Your Life Mar 19, 2025
    Show notes

    “Your money, or your life.” Those two things are very, very different, but in our culture, they tend to get blended together. That’s what we’re talking about on this episode of Bewildered.

    We explore how our culture is so focused on money it’s practically a religion. And how for many of us, this obsession with money can become an addiction because “you can never get enough of something that almost works.”

    Want to try shifting your central focus away from money and work? Join us for the full episode!
