    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!

    Change Cycle: Bug Soup Dec 13, 2023
    Show notes

    Do you know what happens to a caterpillar inside its cocoon?

    It disintegrates into a gooey mass before its cells reform into a butterfly. This "bug soup" phase isn't pretty, but it's an essential part of change—what Martha refers to as Square One in her Change Cycle methodology.

    In this special re-release episode of BEWILDERED, Martha and Ro talk all about Square One and what happens when your previous identity must dissolve.

    If you've been struggling with change and letting go, this episode is for you!

    Bittersweet Misunderstandings Nov 29, 2023
    Show notes

    The culture says it's a given that the people who love you will understand you. But very often, the people who love you don't understand you at all—yet they can have the strongest ideas about who you should be.

    Martha and Ro are opening up the BeWild Files to talk about how to stay committed to your purpose when your loved ones don't understand it.

    Listen to the full episode to learn how to let go of the longing for consensus, disentangle love from understanding, and find the people who truly get you.

    Beauty That Moves Nov 15, 2023
    Show notes

    Martha and Ro are coming “full square” on this episode of BEWILDERED® to talk about Square Four in Martha’s Change Cycle.

    The culture tells us that whenever we achieve a goal, we're supposed to stay there: “Now you're a butterfly. The End.”

    Yet Nature, which we're all part of, is constantly changing. Eventually, you'll be sent back to Square One and the cycle will start anew.

    To find out how to enjoy Square Four without gripping it too tightly—and welcome the next change into your life—be sure to tune in!

    Zen and the Art of Travel With Toddlers Nov 01, 2023
    Show notes

    The hinges have come off, folks—Martha and Rowan have jet lag (and they're not afraid to use it!) in this episode of Bewildered: Zen and the Art of Traveling with Toddlers.

    On two recent international trips, Martha and Ro's toddler got sick, and things were challenging to say the least... Now Ro wants to figure out if all the suffering was worth it, or if they sacrificed their child's wellbeing for the sake of culture.

    The answer they arrived at may surprise you, so don't miss the full conversation!

    Have you ever bravely shared your authentic self, only to agonize over it later thinking you shared too much?

    Best of Bewildered: Making the Right Choice Oct 04, 2023
    Show notes

    It's THE BEST OF BEWILDERED, and this week we’re revisiting another favorite episode from the vault: Making the Right Choice.

    The culture believes there’s always a single right choice and that choosing wrong means you've wasted your entire life. So is it any wonder a lot of us freeze in panic when faced with making a decision?

    Martha and Ro talk about how we can move past this "decision paralysis" and they offer a wild new way to view decision-making. It's an insightful conversation worth hearing again!

    Wild Horses Sep 06, 2023
    Show notes

    Have you ever felt driven to do specific excruciating tasks, and you couldn’t explain why?

    While the culture mindlessly tells us we should always work hard, there's also a place in our true nature for dogged, determined work. In this Bewildered, Martha and Ro talk about the “wild horses feeling” that's present whenever you’re working toward your heart’s desire.

    To learn the difference between culture and nature when it comes to hard work, and how you can find strength in the struggle, be sure to tune in!
