  • 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.

  • The Other Butterflies

    The Other Butterflies
    Apr 17 2024

    Martha and Ro have a very special guest on this episode of Bewildered…Ro's mum Paula!

    Paula has a mind-expanding story to tell about the time she followed monarch butterflies on their migratory path and learned that 10% of these butterflies always follow a different path—and for an unexpected reason.

    Tune in to find out the purpose of these aberrant butterflies' journey, why Martha and Ro relate to them so strongly, and why all paths through life, whether "normal" or divergent, are valid and valuable.

    Really, Really, Really Far Outside
    Apr 3 2024

    Martha and Ro are doing something a little different and a lot of fun on this episode of Bewildered: sharing about times when they’ve gone WAY outside of the culture.

    Because when we all tell each other stories about going outside culture, we give each other permission to do it more!

    Tune in to hear about invisible whales, public nose-picking, polygamy, and more—plus find out the new name they’ve come up with for their beloved Bewildered community. If you love stories, this is the episode for you!

  • On Burnout and Reset

    On Burnout and Reset
    Mar 20 2024

    Ever suffer from burnout? Martha and Ro have, and they're talking all about it on this 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 to the full episode to hear Martha and Ro’s insights and suggestions for getting ahead of burnout and resetting your body, mind, heart, and spirit.

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!
