Summary

We’re in the middle of moving house (and Ro’s turning 45!) so our whole daily rhythm is being shaken up. But disruptions can be a great opportunity to consciously redesign your life. In this episode of Bewildered, we explore “day mapping,” staying responsive to nature’s cues, and letting your deepest yearnings guide you—instead of sticking to cultural rules or slipping into inertia. It’s about creating a life that’s structured enough to hold your dreams but not so rigid that it boxes you in. Join us!

a few months ago, Roe and I started something called the Wilder Community, which is kind of an

1:18.1

online village where people like us who want to find our true nature, even if it peels us

We make art in our own little rooms, in our own little places, but all together.

1:43.6

development stuff that we work through together and just a hive of activity and connection
