  • From frivolous to life affirming

    The latest ep about spider senses was so deep and soul expanding, I love how you guys speak in conceptual terms, - it almost feels like a secret code language that only some can understand, and I feel privileged that it makes sense me. So deep and helpful, thanks Ro and Marty!

Best of Bewildered: Beware Fake Urgency
Q: How do we decide what urgent really means?
The distinction lies between anxiety-driven urgency, which is draining, and creative urgency, which feels nourishing and fulfilling.
Best of Bewildered: When to Leave
Q: How do you know if by learning self-soothing techniques, you're enabling yourself to stay in situations that aren't aligned with your integrity?
It involves discerning when the problem lies within your thoughts versus the situation itself, often requiring moments of solitude to clarify these feelings.
Why We Need Your Art with Amie McNee and James Winestock
Q: Can I ask you, Amie, like why do we need our art even now?
Especially now, because profound change is needed and change is made by the artists.
Why So Anxious?
Q: Is there something beyond anxiety, please?
Yes, there are ways to shift focus from anxiety to creativity, curiosity, and connection, which can help mitigate feelings of anxiety.
Why So Anxious?
Q: Marty, why am I so anxious, please? Why is everyone so anxious? Why? What is going on? Why is it getting worse?
We live in a world full of slings and arrows and outrageous misfortunes, making it insane not to feel anxious right now. Anxiety is now the leading mental health problem worldwide, affecting hundreds of millions.
