I Broke My Leg At Burning Man: The Brutiful Consequences of Ignoring My Intuition

Hello Friends! In this episode, I recount a personal journey of breaking my foot and knee while volunteering at Burning Man in the summer of 2022. It began with ignoring my instincts, leading to intense physical and emotional suffering. This experience profoundly reshaped who I am and where I'm headed, and is a key catalyst for this podcast project. I am thankful for the support that enabled me to transform this ordeal into something meaningful.

Embracing the Brutiful

Hello Friends! Welcome to this short introductory episode of This Brutiful Life. I'm Marriah Wyrding, and I am so excited (and nervous!) I am to share this project with you. This journey has been pushing me out of my comfort zone, and it's been humbling to say the least.
In this podcast, I'll share stories from my life and chat with some incredible people who have faced unimaginable hardships and still found a way to keep going. Creating a container to hold the complex duality of the brutal and the beautiful in our experiences, and remembering that we are not alone in this journey.
We'll also dive into some practical tools and practices that have helped me and others stay grounded while navigating obstacles, pain, and grief. I hope you'll find something here that resonates with you and helps you feel connected.
This is all one big experiment, blending a bit of spirituality, a touch of magic, and a whole lot of heart. So let's embrace the dualities of life together and make something truly "brutiful". Thanks for being here with me. I can't wait to share this journey with you.
