Summary

In this BeWild Files episode of Bewildered, Martha and Ro answer a question from listener Kathryn about how to live a balanced life each day instead of bouncing between extremes. While our culture demands high-level productivity all year round, the rhythm of nature flows between extremes—and we're meant to follow a similar rhythm. If you're ready to let go of the cultural model of regularity in your own life—and find the magic in occasionally going to extremes—be sure to listen to 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.
0:14.4	Human culture teaches us to come to consensus, but nature, our own true nature, helps us come
0:20.7	to our senses. Rowan and I believe that the best way to figure it all out is by going through
0:26.2	a wilderness into bewildered. That's why we're here. You know, what I'm seeing out in the world
0:33.7	is a lot of fear and a growing amount of despair. Maybe you're feeling that way too, because the ways
0:41.8	our culture has taught us to navigate the world, to navigate our lives, they are failing us.
0:48.7	We need a new language. We need a new set of tools to find our way individually and as a group.

1:02.3	and the tools that I teach there are to help people redefine how we relate to each other,
1:08.4	how we make a living, how we do community. We can only change the world for the better if we redefine
1:14.8	how we think. Registration is open for the fall and the world needs wayfinders now more than
1:22.0	ever. So please go to marthabag.com and you'll find your way.

1:50.4	not the God or maybe the God. I don't even know. I'm not good at these things, but it's in retrograde.
1:55.8	Is this? I don't know. It usually is. It seems to be more and if you can get your sound to work and
2:02.7	if they've changed the app that records your podcast in mysterious ways, it's it's not a human
2:11.2	error, folks. It's Mercury. It's got to be the planets. I was blaming Mars a few minutes ago.
2:18.0	Yeah. Well, I mean, can we be sure? I'm blame, Satan. I mean,
2:23.1	Satan is up to something. I think Jupiter or maybe I know it's Pluto because it's mad that
