Summary

When it comes to the topic of jobs, the culture has a lot to say—and all of it is scary. There's a strict path we're expected to follow, which we've been led to believe is the only logical way. In this episode of Bewildered, Martha and Ro talk about different ways to earn a living, and how what we often think of as "logic" is just cultural messaging in disguise. If the traditional job path doesn't feel right for you, and you're struggling to find your own way, don't miss this inspiring 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 is a
0:33.3	lot of fear and a growing amount of despair. Maybe you're feeling that way too, because the ways
0:41.2	our culture has taught us to navigate the world, to navigate our lives, they are failing us.
0:48.0	We need a new language. We need a new set of tools to find our way individually and as a group.
0:54.8	And I know we can still do this. I put everything I do know about it into wayfinder life coach training
1:01.6	and the tools that I teach there are to help people redefine how we relate to each other,
1:07.7	how we make a living, how we do community. We can only change the world for the better if we redefine
1:14.1	how we think. Registration is open for the fall and the world needs wayfinders now more than ever.

1:43.2	out? What am I trying to figure out, Marty? Oh well, I don't know. Life, the universe and everything.
1:52.0	I think a lot of my time these days I spend trying to figure out what the world must look like
1:57.4	to our two-year-old daughter. You know, like she's quite new to Planet Earth and every now and
2:05.3	again I get a little glimpse into her psyche and I had one the other day. It was quite interesting.
2:11.8	We went to the park and we were in New York and we went to the local park and she came upon a sign.
2:22.1	That that said passive lawn. Passive lawn. Passive lawn. As opposed to the active kind,
