  • It is easy for challenging moments in our lives to capture our attention and energy; it is perhaps much more difficult to pay attention to what's beautiful, true, and brings us joy. In this episode, Buffy encourages more presence and attention to what we enjoy - not to bypass the pain, but to build our reserves in order to face what's challenging in our lives with more fortitude, ease, and contentment.

  • Buffy starts the episode with discussing the Bystander Effect, which says that the greater number of bystanders that are witness to an emergency situation or bully, the less likely it is for any one of them to provide help for the person in distress.

    She uses this as a jumping off point as a call for us to take radical responsibility for our lives, even when it is inconvenient; even when it is difficult; even when it is easier to shirk it. Wanting it is not always enough - so what can we do to bridge the gap between wanting it and having it? Tune in to find out.

  • Today's episode explores how we can cultivate joy, health, and happiness without turning our faces away from the pain of the world, which sometimes asks for our attention and other times demands it. Buffy recorded this at a time where a non-binary student was murdered in a bathroom, and where war ravages across the Middle East and beyond. These are times that, as Buffy teacher says, are "relentless and exhausting," as she calls us to take better care of ourselves now, more than ever. When we strengthen a cell in the body, we strengthen the body.

  • How do you make decisions? Swiftly and suddenly? Do you let ideas marinate before you move forward? Buffy's story about Tricia's buggy (southern for "shopping cart") illustrates the wisdom of our desires, and how sometimes pausing can give us the space to hear them truly and clearly.

  • How can we help ourselves feel safe instead of bracing for impact?

    We get curious.

    Just like we might be if we found ourselves in a new town. Entering a new place - physically, mentally, or emotionally - with a spirit of wonder and curiosity can create a completely different experience than defaulting to old patterns of fear, pain, and anxiety. Buffy talks about her ankle replacement recovery to elaborate on this gorgeous metaphor and walks listeners through practical ways to build new patterns, pathways, and discoveries for ourselves.

  • Buffy tells stories of the Hindu deity Ganesha, or Ganapati. Mythology can be used as a tool to help us see ourselves more clearly, no matter our religion, prayer, or conversation we are having with the divine. This is a human conversation and an invitation into a deeper experience of yourself through the keeper of the threshold, Ganesh, and the wisdom he offers us.

  • Calling all worriers! What if you could see how you spend your time in a visual form, like a pie chart? How big of a pie slice would be spent worrying, ruminating, or projecting into the future? Buffy opens this episode with this pie chart image and takes listeners immediately stories that illuminate how getting to the root - the truth - of a story can reduce our time spent fretting. She ties up the episode with practical tips on how to either a) get to the root and b) move energy if the root feels inaccessible for the moment.
