What if we stopped listening to the controlling voice of the culture around us, and instead learned to reconnect with our own true nature?

    The topics of each show could be covered in maybe six minutes. This is unfocused pablum delivered in coffee-talk style which is going to waste your listening time.

  • Like Being with Friends

    I have been listening to Bewildered for a while now and it’s been so good for my mental health, especially in current times. Martha and Ro are amazing - I feel like I’m at home when listening to their banter. Such a comfortable, soft place to land. Thank you both.

  • It’s Play!

    I couldn’t figure out why I was so averse to this podcast for years because they do much meandering and joking around… then, I realised that in our productivity-obsessed world, one thing feels absolutely foreign to us… it’s Play! And that’s why I love this show!❤️❤️

  • Finding my mentor again

    I used ringside a mentor who taught me about the things you talk about . Having gone through major changes I slipped into control and fear responses. And yearned fror some guidance to help me back on my path . I have found it through you. The new mentor is in me, the guidance is inside myself. I used to know this, I used to live it, then I lost it to fear. Now you’re helping me to trust again in life. I am so glad. Love

  • We Need Your Art

    I wholeheartedly agree. My art has helped me heal from devastating losses. I write my way through painful divorce and paint - when able as an expression of my shattered heart after the death of my son. Art is the transformer because it is the expression of our true selves. And the world needs this now more than ever!!
