Summary

“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!

0:00.0	Welcome to Bewildered. I'm Martha Beck, here with Rowan Mangan. At this crazy moment in history,
0:09.2	a lot of people are feeling bewildered, but that actually may be a sign we're on track. Human culture
0:15.3	teaches us to come to consensus, but nature, our own true nature, helps us come to our census. Rowan and I believe that the
0:23.8	best way to figure it all out is by going through the wilderness into the wildermen. That's why we're here.
0:31.2	So as some of you listeners may know, a few months ago, Rowan and I started something called
0:36.1	the Wilder Community, which is kind of an online village where people like us who want to find our true nature, even if it peels us away from culture, can get together, commun, make friends and do things.
0:51.2	We have all kinds of regular events in there that are just so fun. We have a weekly
0:55.6	hang where we get together and we have conversation and we make art in our own little
1:00.8	rooms, in our own little places, but all together. There are group meditations that Martha
1:06.1	leads that are crazy powerful. And there are just all kinds of monthly themes and personal development stuff that we
1:15.2	work through together and just a hive of activity and connection among really wonderful
1:22.6	people.
1:23.9	Yeah.
1:24.1	So if you're feeling drawn to belong to a community in these troubled times, give Wilder
1:29.9	a try. It's at wildercommunity.com, all one word, and we hope we'll see you there.
1:37.7	Hi, I'm Martha Beck. And I'm Rowan Mangon, and this is another episode of Bewilded,
1:42.1	the podcast for people trying to figure it out. How you doing,
1:46.1	Marty, mate? Doing great. Got my lydicane patches all over my back. Everything's perfect with lydicane.
1:52.5	What are you trying to figure out in your life? So the other day, this may not be easy for you to hear, Marty, but I'm just going to tell you.
2:02.9	The other day, like you and I, we pass each other in the day.
2:06.2	Sometimes we're busy and, you know, I'm just coming from the dentist.
2:09.7	You're on your way to a meeting and little peck on the cheek, little not hot and heavy kissing, just a little like,
