In this episode, Martha discusses:

-Looking at your own suffering as a starting point in your art.

-Steering your life from nature rather than culture.

-The way in which you are serving the monster when you “hustle.”

-How we can trust our bodies to direct us towards our truth (not our minds).

-What we can learn from baboons.

-The power of relaxing.

Quotes:

“Art is a power that spreads energy into the mass of the population.”

“Artistic expression is the most powerful mover of society.”

“The economy is the train track that society runs on. But art is the switchman. Art is the one that decides which track the train goes on.”

“The only thing more intelligent than the culture in your life is your nature.”
