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!

  • When to Go with the Flow
    Oct 16 2024

    Martha and Ro are digging into their BeWild Files for this episode of Bewildered, answering listener Mandy’s question about the distinction between drifting in a cultural current versus surrendering to cosmic guidance.

    They talk about the difference between the behaviors we adopt due to cultural pressure and the behaviors that truly represent our deepest selves, what it means to live your life by surrendering, and how to recognize the kind of cosmic guidance you'll likely want to follow. Don't miss it!

Topics always pertain to something I’m struggling with

I would give this podcast a 10 if I could! I found this podcast after reading 4 of Martha’s books and they found me in the lowest period of my life and gave me the courage to get up and try again.I’d recommend this podcast to any adult trying to figure themselves and society out and all of the different aspects that goes on between them both.There is also so much love between these two woman it makes their show such an easy listen with a truly heartfelt message.They honestly give a shit about the world and what’s going on in and around it!

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
