My Martha Beck Favorites

It was a dream come true taking Martha Beck's Wayfinder Coach Program. I've been a fan of hers for decades and will be digesting the teachings from the training for many years to come.


You might be wondering, "Who is Martha Beck?" 


Martha Beck is quirky, brilliant, funny, brave, and stunningly human. She has an unmatched ability to combine science, spirituality, inspiration from nature, and humor into very small, actionable ways to move away from "being good" and toward freedom.


Whenever I take the time to read her books or listen to her podcasts, my inner voice gets a little louder, and the noise coming from external expectations quiets a little more. 


I often get asked for my favorite Martha Beck books and podcasts. This will be an organic list as I continually seek out her teachings.




My favorite Martha Books

  • Find Your Own North Star - I found this book in my 20s and, at the time, paid no attention to who the author was but took great value from the teachings. This is one of her seminal works. This is a beautiful read if you are feeling lost and unsure of the next steps.

  • Finding Your Way in a Wild World - Martha has a deep reverence and relationship with nature. She shares stories that will make you wonder and look at the world differently. I love this book.

  • The Way of Integrity - Martha says that being in integrity with ourselves is the key to a joyful and meaningful life. Dante's Divine Comedy inspired this book, and it can be a little heavy at times but has valuable tools, humor, and insight.

  • Her additional books



Podcasts

  • Bewildered - Martha hosts this podcast with her partner, Rowan. She calls this "a podcast for people who are trying to figure it out."

  • The Gathering Room - Martha regularly hosts The Gathering Room. She shows up live on Facebook and Instagram and then shares the audio via podcast. She calls this "a podcast to connect with like-minded seekers.
