These can be anything you make for the sheer enjoyment of creating, rather than for making money (which our culture believes is the only "point" to anything).

Join Martha and Ro for this inspiring episode of Bewildered to learn how making shiny, pretty, pointless things can help you become more attuned to the beauty all around you—in people, in objects, in nature…and in your own wild soul.

Do you ever feel like you’re trying to fit even more stuff into a life that’s already full?

Their solution? Empty space!

Most of us are socialized to believe that if we suffer enough, we’ll be rewarded later—and the reward for our suffering will be happiness. In other words, happiness is something we must earn through suffering.

In this episode of Bewildered, Martha and Ro challenge this cultural belief, inspired by the words of 14th century mystic St. Catherine of Siena who said, “All the way to heaven is heaven.”

To hear more about this idea—and how you can experience happiness right now—don't miss the full episode!

Culture teaches us that scrambling up peaks of achievement is a worthy goal—and that when we reach the pinnacle of success, we'll finally be happy. 

The problem is, not everyone can reach the very top. And even for those who do, achieving that goal doesn't make them happy. 

Wondering how this could be? Martha and Ro offer a theory: We're climbing the wrong mountain!

Join them for this fun episode as they break down the cultural myths surrounding success and fulfillment and point you toward true happiness.

To hear Martha and Ro's insights on seriousness vs. levity in life, surrendering to the idea of magic, and doing the opposite of playing golf (reminder: it's a metaphor), be sure to tune in!

Martha and Ro have a very special guest on this episode of Bewildered…Ro's mum Paula!
