I’m honored to have as my guest Martha Beck, the inspirational life coach, sociologist, speaker, and author of many self-help books. Her newest book is the first installment of The Bewilderment Chronicles Trilogy. It’s an allegory called Diana, Herself, and is a symbol of what the human psyche does in awakening. The book is about finding the part of yourself that’s who you would be if no one had harmed or shaped you in any way. Martha urges us all to find our “wild selves” as she asks, “Do you want to get wild with me?”
What you’ll hear in this episode:
